It's Part 1 of the season finale and hometown visit time. First up, Tim Gunn visits Andy in Hawaii and the biggest shocker is seeing Andy in his element. I mean, if he weren't so gay and a fashion designer, he could be Mowgli from the Jungle Book - a bush man, all kinds of messy, fishing and chopping shit up with butcher knives and eating with his fingers. It was awesome. The best part was seeing Tim freak out over catfish whiskers. Good God, talk about Nancy Boy. I loved it!

Next, Tim drops in on Michael C in Palm Springs. His collection is inspired by feathers. Oh for Pete's sake, you don't say? There sure is a lot of fringe and feathers in various shades of rose and copper and stuff all hangy everywhere. Tim calls it 'design diarrhea,' and tells him he needs to edit, BIG TIME!

Tim visits Mondo next in Denver and his collection is inspired by his Mexican background, vintage circuses and The Day of the Dead celebration. Uh, yikes. There's a lot of black and white and I'm scared of circus clowns, but Mondo's my boyfriend so I can't talk shit about him. Although I'm very afraid, just a tad.

Last is Gretchen in Portland and oh boy, Gretchen's home life is a flaming hot, HOT mess. She came home to no boyfriend, no home, empty bank account, and she's basically busted and broke. Hmm, karma coming to get you, perhaps? Her collection is a hodgepodge of Southwestern, safari, tribal, throw in pinch of Aztec and a whole lotta Woodstock. Ugh, I hate her color palette. Child, nobody wants to wear that much rust, mustard and baby-shit brown in Spring. Am I right?

Well, flash forward two weeks and the designers are all back in New York. Let's take a moment shall we to bow down to Andy's new hair extension which is perfectly described by Michael C as "Pocahontas meets Naomi Campbell" -- true dat, true dat. I've been entertained by Andy's personal style choices all season long. I would say he and Mondo know how to get their freak on. Love, love, love it.

For the final runway show, they each must present three cohesive looks: two from their existing collection and one that is brand new. Mondo and Michael C are having a hard time with an 11th look. Noooo, not Mondo!

Runway day arrives and surprisingly, no shitty guest judge. Don't worry, the final guest judge is a doozy, Jessica Simpson. Yep, you read right, so I'm reserving all of my snark for next week. 

Andy --  it's a softer side of Andy and I don't like it. His hot short ensemble sucked. There was something very bridesmaid about his two evening looks. The judges loved his green pleated dress but in general "iffy" about his point of view. Personally, I hated all of the pieces. 

Michael -- The judges were confused as to why he showed three copper colored evening looks. I suppose his 11th look was nice and simple. I thought his pieces were at least fashion, not good, but at least they weren't basics. I just hated his color palette.

Gretchen - first off, didn't Gretchen straight up look like Legolas (Orlando Bloom) from The Lord of the Rings? Except obviously, Legolas is GORGEOUS and Gretchen is so NOT. But she's got his physique, the hair, the tights, although he'd never wear pumpkin. But seriously, all she needs are some bow and arrows and she would be ready to HUNT SOME ORCS! Seriously, WTF were those three looks? It was Holly Hobbie meets Polly Pocket. That romper pant outfit was THE worst. Nina Garcia said it felt crunchy granola and lacks drama. Michael Kors thought it looked inexpensive, too real, not fashiony enough. Uh, ya got that right. 

Mondo - I'm biased, but his looks were by far the best. It's his thing: fun, bold, graphic, colorful, and what other adjectives can I throw in? Nina loves the theatricality, but thinks he needs to rein in the over the topness, needs balance. His girls are working the 'fascinators' in the hair. British society lady types would be clawing each other to get one of those for the Ascot races. Kate Middleton (future queen of England) would be all over that shit (see right). One thing is for sure, Mondo has showmanship and he ain't afraid.

Alright, so without further ado, Mondo (of course), Gretchen (puke) and Andy (surprised) made it to the final 3! Poor Michael C. pretty much broke down and punched the wall. Yeah, he went there. It was the most emotion I'd seen from him the whole season. Overall, what a boring show. Where was the design and fashion? Somehow I knew it would come down to these three. Where is that damn Ivy? You can always count on her for some evil and hate! 

So what do you think? Who is going to win it all?
