The Semifinalists.

Binge, ******, PandArts, we got hosed.

WTF is this nonsense? The surfer douche in the white tux? The a-hole in the black t-shirt, really?

Shenanigans, AMC. Shenanigans.

What a crock! The women all seem pretty good but wtf is up with CK ads and prom pics making the cut!!!!??? Now I know I didn't deserve to be up there either but You and Binge should have been without a doubt! Well, chalk it up to a flawed voting system and pray that Mr. Weiner makes the right choice (from the women)! Oh well, it was fun though!

Sorry to hear guys. Don't put too much in the "voting system." More than likely the producers had a direct say in who "won" the votes.

Utterly bizarre.

Given the options, I sure hope the ****** wins it all.

I'll chalk it up to the voting process. I am certain there was a lot of bots and DDoS in the contest.

The women are quite good but most of the men are awful. 'Morgan Barclay' is wearing probably the blandest outfit that is physically possible (and is that a black suit?!)

And since when are any of those finalists dressed mad-men-esque either?

Georgia in the house w00t w00t!

Although I really don't get Billy Reeves... he looks like every other old fat balding guy in Alpharetta who dresses in whatever you would call today's fashion for that set.

Binge looks great but has a really wide tie and lapel width to be called madmen style.

yours is great tho!

not sure about the guys since they all look pretty bad, but the ladies are owning it up in that contest!
