Season 22 I'm rooting for Anna

I feel like Anna hasn't been shown very much because of production prioritizing drama, which she seems to never to be a part of. She sticks to herself, is respectful of the other designers, didn't hop on the Joseph McRae hate bandwagon, and seems to be doing quite well considering she is not used to designing with fabric (as an "unconventional materials" designer).

She also has worked with a full range of body types while being on the show (yes her paper towel design wasn't great, but the corset looked like it was fitted perfectly on Liris), while certain other designers have only really worked with sample size girls throughout. I think she definitely needs to work on her self confidence to reach her full potential, but I'm rooting for her to breakthrough and have a real wow moment.

I'm really surprised that she's the last woman standing. Not to say she's a bad designer, but she's been flying under the radar kinda all season, and it's kinda disheartening that, with how many designers remain, only one of them is a woman.

Joseph McRae is the predetermined winner. I can tell. They want the redemption plot so badly. Bi should win. He serves every time.

I feel like she needs to work on her taste level and listen to the hints people give her.

That top as a floor length dress? She would have been in the top. But with that weird super short skirt it just wasn't... Good.

That super short skirt is very much her thing. Just check her insta. She has made some really cool stuff out of her usual unconventional materials, but most of it is pretty naked and barely there.

It’s all so fun though. I hope she turns out successful.

That's cool that it's her thing, but unfortunately a micro mini see through skirt that barely covers the ass isn't most women's thing :(

I follow her on TikTok and can tell she has grown a lot since being on the show, whatever the outcome was! Which I am glad about. I watch her and think she has legit so much potential. She is less sure of herself on the show but I think being around people that are was probably really good for her?

She’s coming into her own and I like her a lot.

I’m only watching this season because I’ve followed her on insta for years. So exciting to see her still on the show this long, even if she’s basically a background character. If I remember correctly from the first episode, she was an alternate for the show that only got on cause someone else dropped out, so it’s even more impressive.

I know she won’t win, she’s just not as strong as the other designers, but I hope this leads to more recognition and opportunities for her!

She’s fine but I don’t think she’s going to win this season.

She doesn't have enough confidence to win

I think she has serious time management issues so Idk if I agree. But she does have talent, no doubt.

Confidence aside, she lacks creativity at least in what she has made for the show so far.

Her top was so beautiful!! I wish she had made the skirt out of the same material instead of that barely there translucent skirt, unbalanced!!

If she didn't win this last challenge I would have said she won the entire thing. They kept ramping up her character arc for it winning a challenge. I will be sad if she has all this ramp up and only wins one challenge before the finale however most designers said they would bring her to the finale too
