And Emilio, he may be a pompous ass, but he's been consistently good.  Though his last look was awful.  He and Mila are the only ones with distinct point of views.

  

Yup.  You may hate Mila or Emilio, but they are the ones with the strongest points of view.  The others may make pretty or flattering dresses, but without a distinct style.  Last year's lack of talent has made you all lose sight of the fact that we SHOULD be looking for a designer, not a dress maker.  Would argue that Maya has a p.o.v., too... Whether or not I like it much.

I would argue that it's too soon to say definitively that none of the others has a point of view. We've had 4 challenges so far. One was a team challenge. One forced them to design red dresses with Campbell's branding, and one forced them to make a garment out of a potato sack. It's very possible that other designers there DO have a point of view, but they have not yet successfully shown it.

A designer with a point of view tends to show that point of view no matter what.  It kind of bleeds out of them.  Hated Siriano, but he is an example of this.  Not a big fan of last year's winner, but the same can be said.  HATED Sebelia, but he, too showed his signature regardless of the challenge (or how ugly it was).  Point of view is not contingent upon the right circumstances, amount of time, or fabric chosen, IMO.  Emilio, Mila and Maya, for sure, have shown a p.o.v. every time.  Others have shown some pretty dresses without any real signature.  Only four challenges?  That is more than 1/4 of the pre-finale work.  Those with strong p.o.v. have had time to show it... and have.
