This show has been pretty lackluster, yes? Oh look, we're having a reunion. Well, that's a good sign. Isaac welcomes the designers, as well as Fern and Kelly. He says that they have some questions for the designers. He points out that Angel is wearing the shirtdress that she designed for episode 4. She says that some viewers liked it and asked her to reproduce it. Everyone acts faux-enthusiastic about it and she adds that the version she's wearing has actual buttons and buttonholes instead of the glued-on version from the show. He asks her to stand up and model it. He thinks it's really cute. Kelly says that it's "so US Open." Isaac tells her to get Serena on the phone. Yeah, I think that Angel was planning on women playing tennis in her dress. Thank you, Kelly Rowland, for that contribution. I have no idea why that comment bothers me so much.
On to Andrew, the "Pantychrist." So charming. Isaac asks him if sales of lavender-colored jock straps have gone up. Oh good, we're 2 for 2 in the demeaning of the designers. Perhaps there will be some sort of revolt. I can't imagine why you would do this, but if you catch a marathon of this series, notice how Isaac has gained weight throughout. Put that in your lavender-colored jock strap, Isaac. Gross. Andrew continues, saying that his company can't keep up with production. The business is exploding. Well, you set that one up, Andrew. Marcus, who is beside him, begins giggling and Isaac picks up on it and screams that "THE UNDERWEAR IS EXPLODING!" You can't really blame him. Andrew says that he wishes he hadn't been eliminated from the show the way he had. Isaac says that his was a hard week, because they liked his dress -- just not as much as they liked Lidia's. He asks him if he's serious. Isaac's like, of course we're serious. Then, Andrew, who has clearly been waiting to say this, says that he made a very sellable dress, while Lidia's was Nightmare Before Christmas. Isaac and Kelly are stunned. Lidia, smiling, says that, like Isaac mentioned, if you're going to fail -- fail big. Isaac says that there are many ways to fail and they just liked the way Lidia failed more than they liked the way Andrew failed. That may be the most reasonable salient point that has been made on this entire series.
Kelly reminds everyone that Reco, who already looks annoyed, was the last person eliminated. She says they have a lot to talk about, but they want to do it with everyone there. So she brings out the three finalists. Here's Daniella first, then Anna, then James-Paul. Kelly tells them that they'll have to wait until the end of the show to find out the winner of the show. Isaac says that they will also be awarding a judges' choice award. That person will get $10,000. Now, we're going to watch a reel of Reco's stuff. We see Haven interview that Reco is brilliant. She thinks he has a sewing machine in his brain. There's an inset shot of Reco responding and he seems pleased that she said that. There's Reco shouting at the designers that they were playing around in his profession. Oh God, there's his red Halston dress. That was a disaster. We see Glenda Bailey trashing his wedding gown.
