I have watched every episode this season and have been disappointed almost every time. Either the episode is boring, the designs suck, or the wrong person got booted. I would have liked to see what Ramone could have produced for a final collection, simply because he had an interesting perspective. However, overall I believe the talent pool was pretty weak so its hard to say none of the final three deserve to be there because none of the others showed much.
I usually hate "the bitch" whoever he or she happens to be, but I don't really see Irina as one. She was particularly nasty throughout the show and any edge she displayed is probably because a lot of the others did suck. She is the only one who consisently produced good work.
I think the reason why this season was such a major disappointment was because of the casting. That's what happens when the show is no longer produced by Magical Elves (known for Top Chef and PR seasons 1-5) and is put it in the hands of Bunim/Murray (The Real World, RW/RR Challenges). I found none of the designers of this season to be particularly compelling -- a few of the designers that got the boot early could have been fun to watch, but now we'll never know. Who knows how good this season could have been if it just stuck to Bravo instead of moving to crappy Lifetime.
And I found myself kinda hating Irina, but ultimately not enough to really care. I loved to hate Kenley, Santino, Wendy, and Jeffrey, but I can't say the same about Irina.
