I think it is quite telling when the "personality" of the season is a man whose main character traits seem to be speaking English badly and making clothes that old lady sluts would wear. Santino he is not. Although it was amusing when he pretending to string himself up from the door when he was eliminated.
This season is dull. Really. Ivy as the villain? (And they have had to work HARD to make that happen.) All she did was bitch about another designer and be a total control freak. It's not exactly on a par with smuggling in pattern books or making the mother of another designer cry.
Initially, I thought that they were doing well this year. Better guest judges (actual designers!), less overall drama, Tim Gunn getting mouthy. But it's just gone downhill. There seem to be very few good designers, just a load of unimaginitive sewers arguing over who is better at construction, and some MOR competitors making forgetful clothes. And a rather timely appearance from Kristin Bell, who knowledge of designing rivals mine. Clue: none. Even Gretchen has stopped being so spiteful, which is disappointing.
When you are halfway through the season and you don't care who wins, you know things are bad.
