Congrats to Gretch. The judges made the harder, but in the end correct, choice. I was disappointed with the show's new nasty tenor, and I'm saddened that Gretchen received a somewhat clumsy, cliché reality show hatchet job in an effort to make her some kind of TV stock villain. I'm saddened, also, that the show's prestige, if it had any, will be tarnished by the new production choices -- if it will be seen less as an exciting competition between design talents, and more as a human circus with contrived, semi-scripted, suggestively edited melodrama. But, hey, that's the entertainment biz. Gretchen is a strong and talented woman (what some people call a 'bitch') and I'm sure she'll be just fine.

I don't care for her clothes.
