Project Runway Season Finale

Yeah, the only thing that even compares is Hosea winning Top Chef a few seasons ago.

YESSSSSSS. What the F was that about? For my money, the chefs on TC Las Vegas were the best ever. The final 4--any one of them could easily have won.

I thought Mondo's clothes were the most "fashion forward" but I would love to wear anything Andy put on the runway. I just wish I had the bod for some of those outfits from last night.

Christian Siriano big time...but that's about it.

Chris March has designed dresses worn by Meryl Streep on the red carpet - twice.

I felt Gretchen was their pick from the beginning. They seemed to love her stuff and kept showing her "mentoring" other designers. I thought her show was terrible. Very drab, frumpy (except the diapers), western prairie, hippy wear. I wouldn't wear one thing. I liked Andy's because it is most wearable for me. Mondo's was a little too kooky for me.

That was definitely the weirdest finale ever. Gretchen's clothes were so blah - they absolutely looked frumpy and plain. The prints were boring, the diapers were weird, and those patchwork pants that Michael and Nina loved were just awful! I could not understand it. Truly a bizarre ending.

Gretchen's clothes look like something you'd buy in Walmart. A Walmart in rural Arizona.

Where in the world could you possibly wear Gretchen's clothes? They look like peasant attire from the 1970s. An indian style print with a vest...you can't wear it to work... you certainly wouldn't wear it casually, unless you want to look like Heidi (I mean the REAL, actual Heidi from Switzerland, not Heidi Klum). And that top with the hugely assymetrical hemline??? These clothes look like ass. Mondo wuz robbed. We were robbed.

I am floored that Gretchen won.
Floored I tell you.

Which is why the Runway folks annointed her queen. Keep people off balance. Create controversy. Great for future ratings.

Agreed! Gretchen's collection was AWFUL - so frumpy. And I loved Mondo's. I was really disappointed they picked her.

I thought Jessica Simpson must have had botox right before the show. She couldn't move her upper lip at all. And yes, she's packed on some weight, but I try not to judge for that because I also complain about super-skinny stars.

Do they give the contestants a clothing allowance for themselves?
