Yes, I think Andrea was definitely stronger than Carissa in terms of skills and talent, but Carissa must have been kept around because of “production values”–she’s so annoying that it makes the show more interesting. The same thing happened on Top Chef this season. when the finals came down to the guy who cooked Spanish food and ultimately won, versus Marcel the brat. Marcel was so obnoxious that it made a more compelling show, while Sam was eliminated just before the finals but really deserved to be there.

Carisa is definitely a stronger personality while Andrea seems more laid back. Since Matt is pretty laid back himself it would have made for a somewhat boring behind the scenes finale.

i, too, was very disappointed that andrea was sent packing. i just assumed it was because carissa is more controversial and the directors wanted to stir things up a bit at the end. i think matt is a good designer. but i was looking forward to seeing what andrea would do toward the end because she has a good eye for the big picture.

I totally agree! Nothing luxurious about it. I absolutely hated the dog pillow they kept showing And, she kept fussing at Carl about his bricks. That was the one part of her room the judges loved – something she wanted changed. Matt needs to put her in her place – SECOND PLACE!

As I was watching the show last night and Jonathan Adler says “Carissa, you can stay” I actually started yelling at the TV set “no”! You can ask my husband, I really did. Carissa’s room looked like a dorm room, there was absolutely nothing luxurious about it. I disagreed with the judges who said Andrea’s room looked “flat”. I’d rather have Andrea’s living room any day over that 60’s flashback monstrosity created by Carissa. I got a headache just looking at that. There’s no way I would feel like I could just sit down and relax in that room, a feeling I got looking at the other two rooms. As long as Matt holds it together and doesn’t freak out again he’s got it made.
