Hey Beeeeches!
Merlin I love you! You were the hit of the show for me! Hope to see more of you in the future...

i loved your work merlin. you were very creative and saw outside the box and women love that especially when they want to try something different. when they want to have something that not everyone has. something different and sexy. you and reco and anna shoulda stayed as the final 3. that would've been some competition.

Merlin, you have lots of talent as a costume designer, which is what you said you wanted to showcase, as your passion, in your final collection. That is great and you will go far with Broadway and other places that want and need those kinds of designs. This show brought you lots of media attention and fame that will launch your name and career. So, why do you seem so bitter, esp. towards the women from the Fashion Show? You were the only one who did not raise their hand when asked if you would remain friends with your colleagues from the show. You also looked disgusted/rolled your eyes a lot during the show. I am confused as to why you even went on a show like this when you seem to have no respect for anyone and are so bitter. You should try to look at all of the positive things that have happened for you AND your colleagues just by the exposure that ALL of you received from this opportunity. "Don't burn your bridges"..so to speak.. You may want/need to call on some of these colleagues/judges someday and you may have them turn you away because of your attitude.

MERLIN, YOU WERE A WELCOME ADDITION TO THE SHOW. I LOVED YOUR GREATIVITY. GOOD, NO GREAT LUCK.

Who writes these comments? Merlin created "real clothes?" Even he admitted that his goal is as a costumer. People ... get a grip!

Merlin - I watched you during the last show and your anger and bad attitude is still evident. I am sorry that you did not have the grace to even clap for the others. I bet you are probably a nice person - let that show

I loved your last design! It was my favorite of all of them that night. It's the only one a 'real' woman would actually purchase (not the lampshade look that the judges went for). I thought your design was slimming and creative. Maybe it's because I'm an artist, but I thought it was absolutely fantastic.
One of the judges claimed that someone would find your outfit in a donation bin. I disagree!! SHE was wearing a Moo-moo, and I thought yours was hip and fun and cute. LOVE IT!

Merlin!!!
I love him not just his creative style and gosh! so different way to deliver his fashion ideas, but He is just a character!
I can write a book about him! I wonder all the different ingredients that make Merlin "Merlin"
He was fun to watch. I think with some polish of his ideas he can be a fashion Magician1 specially for young people. Merlin you have it! you didn't learned from anybody that is why you are so unique,
Kudos!

Merlin, you and reco were my favorite. You are a very talented designer. I loved your last design, it was fabulous. I don't know what they were thinking. Many women I know would wear it, I really wanted you to make it to see your whole collection, something on your own, without the stupid challenges to guide you. You are amazing, and are very unique, and I loved the way you did not bow to the judges demands for change. You are truly creative and I cant wait to see what you do next. Obviously the show judges have really got it wrong since neither you or reco are in the finals. Im for james paul because he like you and reco have heart and true passion.

HI Merlin,
Along with Reco, I liked you also. I loved the way you protect you fashion sense. Everytime they try to modify your fashion, you always told them that you love what you created and don't see nothing wrong with it. You are going to go far too. I'm sure you don't mind contructive criticism but not when they are trying to take away the meaning of what you trying to project to the individuals.
Keep learning,perfect your craft. If there had to be two people picked for the three, It should of been you,Reco and Anna. With either you or Reco winning.

Merlin,

I think your style is awesome and I actually loved the idea of your travel outfit. In Boston I think that design would have really done well. Hope to see your designs more. Please keep posted on where your designs can be found.

Love you Merlin you a brilliant and I really think that you will go really far as a designer....Besos!!!

Hey Merlin I LOVE YOU >< you didn't deserve to go home I want you back on the show and I hope you become a good fashion designer and I hope you create a clothing line because I LOVE YOU AND YOUR DESIGNS

Forgive me for my lateness but since the beginning of the show I have been wanting to send you thoughts. I am of Garifuna decent and my mother was born not to far of the coast of Tela. As a Hondurian I am so proud to see that you have made it this far. I was so amazied by your designs and how creative you were. Mom went to Fashion industries HS but never persude a career in fashion. I did some styling stints here and there but it was too competitive. But enough about me, I would really like to know what your plans are for the future and where could i buy one of your designs?

Hola Merlin!

I admire you and respect you. I don't always agree with your comments but I think you have a vision and you should still be around to share it!

Good Luck and I hope I will be able to buy one of your unique designs in the future.

Most sincerely,
Bunnie

Hi Merlin:

I really liked the travel outfit as well. Wish I was 20 years younger. Would have bought it in a heartbeat. Good job, best of luck, and you are a very special person.

I loved your travel outfit. I am 22 and I would have worn it in a heartbeat. It looked so comfy and nice. I can't believe they weren't buying it.

Merlin's designs are not for the weak! I think that it is too easy and unfair of him to always dismiss the others designs on the show as boring. Most of his designs are not as easily wearable. However, the man can construct and saw! His yellow jacket was amazing, whether you liked it or not, it was perfectly executed and made, and full of interesting details. The pants were too bizarre for most, but the grey and yellow were great together, and some details on the pants were adorable. I can not help feeling that his ego is one of the thing standing in his way to success. i hope for him that he can understand the difference between ego and genius and become the success that he deserves to be.

You will be missed, there's no with your high energy left.

I just loved Merlin’s designs. He was the best. I thought the travel sweatsuit was awesome. I was surprised they let him go. I also loved his ambitious attitude. I thought he was to good to be on the show to begin with. The other designers were more on the apprentice type. Merlin is already a professional designer in my opinion. It was a sin that you were not part of the top 4!

You should have definitely been part of the top 4 for sure! Love you hun.

Merlin:

I wasm't a fan of yours at first but as the season progressed I fell madley in-love. Your a great guy with a good heart..I'm not a fan of your style...but I have to say when you came back to work on the Evening Gown episode, wearing that cute Red outfit, w/ the hat.. I was like bitch you better work...

Good Job and Good luck.

B.

You are quirky, unique, and YOU, darling!!!! Even though you were sent home, I bet dollars to donuts that your work will be seen on a red carpet somewhere!!!! Good luck with you, boo!

Merlin, I am really sorry to see you go. As far as the judges, well, what can I say; there's no accounting for taste.

I can not stand the thought of someone telling me what to wear, eeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I love that yellow jacket and the gray pants with the yellow and the green stripes. I was so shocked, who knows what they are looking for. there was nothing off or weird about what you made. I like the knees, I can see someone wearing that as casual wear. IT was really hip to what young teens would want. Anyone can make a dress, if it's dresses and preppy wear they want they can make it themselves. I thought they were looking for someone that has a point of view and good technique. Who knows but James-Paul should have gone home with that mess. He has a point of view, but his technique is horrible..

Merlin,

The show will never be the same without you! Really disapointed, I feel the judges overlooked your creativity and unique style. Please advise you fans where we may procure your exquisite pieces. Good luck!

I'll miss you Merlin! You are very unique! Good job!

Merlin: You have a positive view of life and I like your originality! You will be missed!!!

The gods (or godesses) must have been listening. I was so offended by Merlin's misogynist comments (persistently calling all women "bitches" for example) that I wrote Bravo, advising that as long as he was on the show, I didn't plan to watch. And I didn't. It was only an ad for this week's show that made me think that Merlin might be gone. How someone who aspires to be a designer of women's fashion hates women so much is beyond me. And if he is gay (or just flamboyant), I just don't understand how he thinks hate speech is acceptable. When I heard Merlin was gone, baby, gone, I cheered.

I am really FAN of Merlin. I cannot believe he is out! My God, he is so creative, so real. I don't wanna talked about other competitors, but you really have to see Daniela... she is so disappointed!

I am very SAD!

I REALLY liked the yellow coat and was hoping, like the "winners", that it would be available for purchase - I would totally buy it. I don't see what's wrong with accenting a woman's knee - that's the least of a woman's leg concerns. I think it all looked comfortable. Your funky sense of design is right in line with my style and I will be looking for your designs online so I can buy them. Keep designing!

What goes around, comes around? You were demeaning and mean to your colleagues, especially the women. That is a poor attitude for any person/man to have, especially in the world of fashion and design!! These are your colleagues and... your customers!! Do not bite the hand that feeds you, Darling!! Bye, Bye, Barbie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merlin,
I thought your outfit was very good especially for comfortable tavel wear. It was most certainly better than JP's bubble butt dress with the droopy sleeves. The judges were way off on this week and you should have stayed.

this is highway robbery! i don't think the travel outfit is your best (because you definitely ROCK as a designer), but i love the concept and the color palette! some editing needed to be done like on the jacket's shoulder and the cuff, but overall the outfit jammed!

you are a natural designer! i love your mind, your professionalism, your style, your i'm-not-giving-up attitude, and your fashion sense.

i believe that your bye-bye walk (with a full-length red kilt, black-and-white tank-t-shirt combo and a red urban boa) is the most memorable kiss-my-ax exit ever. you go, merle! With dignity and style.

Hi Merlin, I want to say to you, I enjoy your creations. You where robbed when you were sent home, I thought you deserved to stay...based on what your card said you did capture the travel theme. I loved the outfit. You did go outside the box, and your exciting spirit will never be tamed..Keep that spirit. I did not see anything wrong with your design..they are just scared of you because you are very talented. I wish you lots and lots of success. Cannot wait to see your new designs. God Bless..

Merlin,
Your attitude on Wednesday was disgraceful. Even though you are a bit too "outgoing" for my taste, I was really starting to like both you as a person and your designs.
Your comment toward Johnny at the end of the show was completely inappropriate. He was sitting there minding his own business when you attacked his design (which, by the way, was stunning). Unlike you, he has learned from the judges criticisms instead of taking them so personally and acting stubbornly in the following weeks. If making money is not your top goal, I commend you - that is a fantastic attitude to have. I do respect that you want the world to see your designs for what they are, regardless of whether or not they sell. However, no one will ever be able to see your collections if they are too unattractive for buyers to bring into their stores. In addition, no one in the fashion world will want to deal with someone with a whole lot of attitude and only mediocre clothing. Also, your sexist attitude was appalling. Remember, regardless of whether or not you believe that you are being portrayed in a positive light, you are on national television. No respectable woman is going to buy clothes from a man who thinks he belongs to the superior sex and constantly refers to his female counterparts as b*tches. Your designs are okay, but I will never feel confident or sexy in clothes designed by a man who feels that I'm just another b*tch. By the end of judging, I had lost most of my respect for you; when you exited without acknowledging all of the designers in the way that industry professionals should to one another, I was simply happy to see you go.

Merlin,
I love your yellow jacket!! It was exquisite and very under appreciated! I liked your sweats idea though I can see how it was misunderstood and didn't stand out when compared to the rest. Had it been a sportswear competition or something about jackets, you would have blown them away!! I am sorry you were dismissed but I love that you went down fighting for what you believed in and did not lose your creativity or integrity in the process. I know you will be successful!!

FYI - A kilt does not go to the floor, it's sexy because it shows a man's legs from the knee's down and gives us something to wonder about, that's why women love kilts, you wore a red evening gown, well made, but still a gown.

Merlin,
I think you are the best. I am so sorry you got eliminated. I loved the pants in this challenge.I dont like the show because its not a "Fashion Show" its "the Rowland-Mizrahi Show". I think you are an amazing designer and this show doesnt showcase the designer contestant but the hosts or judges or whatever you want to call them. Good luck to you. I cant wait to see what you will do next.

Merlin, I will be honest. I never much liked your stuff. But that yellow travel coat!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!! This time the judges clearly lost their minds. I wish i could buy that coat. While not a big fan of the pants (my body type & age is wrong) i know their are a lot of young girls age 14 - 27 that would look super great). Did love the color and the details on them; I think the judges are just jealous that they have big butts - including Kelly with her Afro-Am rear. Again cudos on the design and especially on the remarkable tailoring. Even from TV I could tell how well this entire garment was made. Including the jog jacket--have to say I never pictures you as the type to wear sweats. i really think that you lost because you did not explain your idea fully. There was so much more you said about your garment than you ever got across to the judges. And what is up with that tasteless sew job on Jp's whatever?! And that is not even addressing issues he had with styling.

MERLIN..YOU WERE THE LIGHT OF THAT GROUP YOU ALWAYS HAD SOMETHING TO SAY R DO TO LET THE SHOW BE SO ENTERTAINING...I DONT BELIEVE YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE DANIELLE OUTFIT WAS VERY TACKY.....SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE BOTTOM TWO AND SENT HOME TO EAT SOME HUMBLE PIE....BUT CONTINUE BEING YOURSELF ...AND CREATE YOUR DESIGNS TO SHOWCASE YOUR CREATIVENESS.....ALL THE BEST FOR THE FUTURE...

After your horrible display of attitude, you deserved to go home and I am glad of it. Acting like you are God's gift to design is sad and pathetic at your stage in the game. You may design some great outfits here and there, but so do thousands of other designers in the world, you are not unique.

I don't watch this show because the judges are so bad, and you getting kicked off for that amazing coat is a perfect example. The other dress was absolutely hideous and yours was amazing.

Glad you were finally eliminated!!!. Not for your designs - which are to far out there - but for your nasty attitude! If you are so down on women, why do you design clothes for them?

You always had a wild hat on.......I loved the trucker cap with Asian Details.....WHERE WAS IT FROM????

I couldnt believe that Danielles see through top was ripped to shreds by the audience. I would have worn your "sweats" way before that outfit!

BTW,

Hi Merlin, I think your travel outfit was cute but you know in fashion cute is not good enough you went simple to be safe and it cost you I will miss you on the show, you and Reco are the most entertaining of the entire group. And that being said Daniella you are extremely boring thats why you have to be so rude, week after week you are BORING and that last outfit should have sent you home not Merlin Daniella all the education you received didn't teach you that you stink and that fashion may not be for you. RECO YOU ARE THE BEST GOOD LUCK BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
