As TLo recently wrote: "We also have to give some props to Gretchen. She was very sweet and patient with Casanova and seemed genuinely determined to give him what he wanted. Poodles, it's time to face facts: she's really not a bitch. High self-regard? Absolutely. A tendency to say some prissily self-important things? Hell yes. But except for Michael C., all the other designers seem to genuinely like her."

And they've commented on the fact that the previous week, after Tim had given her the smackdown, she still was willing to seek his advice and listen to it. Not the sign of an uberbitch.

Also, I think we're being sold a bill of goods on the victimization of Michael C. From interviews, and especially one TLo did with Peach, we find out that he's 2 different people. One for the camera and one for everyone else. There has to be a reason there, something, that everyone is mystified by his wins and not at all supportive of him. I have to say, I'm mystified by his wins, too.
