Here's an admission: I haven't much left to say about tonight's The Fashion Show finale.  Not at least all of the stuff I said yesterday.  With that out of the way, well, we'll just have to sit back and wait for the results of the final vote.  American was sold on a look, sure, but whose look?  Is it Anna's, Daniella's, or James-Paul's?

So, finally, after eleven weeks of watching sparks fly fashion-wise, with a couple of arguments and some tears tossed in, we finally determine who wins the entire thing.  That's $125,000, the chance to have their collection sold on the Bravo website, and of course, bragging rights.


But we still have an hour-long show.  Well, you've probably seen last week's sneak peek, so yes, we'll be getting around, say, fifty minutes of filler.  That'd be the usual unseen footage, plus an interview with all the other contestants, which admittedly has got me a little bit excited.  I'm finally seeing Angel again!  And Lidia!  And Haven!  Oh, heaven only knows what would happen if she made it to the final four.

And, of course, there's Keith, and Andrew the "Panty-Christ", and Merlin the bitch-lover, and Reco, who we didn't exactly miss because he only got eliminated last week, in that surprise twist that's got most of us roaring in disappointment.  Most of all, of course, him.

But most importantly, the question in my head's going to be answered, finally: does Kristin regret quitting the show in the second episode at all?  Because that's a shame, quitting without exactly proving who you are--or who you are not.

And then, after all that, someone goes home with the prizes, and the bragging rights, and perhaps some degree of notoriety.  Hey, the attention you get from the show is still indispendable.  And we'll miss Fern, and we'll miss Isaac--for me, the way he always moves his arms to emphasize things--and maybe we'll hope to see Kelly out.  Depends on where you are, really.

So, The Fashion Show's finale.  You can watch last week's episode tonight from 9pm, with the final announcement (and long-ass fillers?) from 10pm.  On Bravo, as always.  I can finally scrub Isaac's voice out of my head, saying, "this, is, The Fashion Show!"

Not that it's a bad thing.  It's just a persistent earworm.
