It wouldn't surprise me if they picked Gretchen as the winner I'm all for getting new judges

I've been disappointed this year... last year too. I don 't think there were that many great outfits. Last year seemed a little blah to me also.

I have to watch tonight. i watched the whole thing ON DEMAND this year AND last year. This morning , I thought I saw a disclaimer on the screen that the finale would NOT be on ON DEMAND this year. boo hoo!
what time does it ususally come on? 9 or 10? sheesh!
I can't get the tv schedule on line. lol

It's usually 8 to 9 here

Project Runway

Ch. 41, LIFE , CC

repeated again around 11 this is central time

so that means it's probably on at 9 here!
thanks ladies!
I wish OUR prime time started at 7

None of the final three wow me. They seem to produce the same thing each week. Michael at least created clothing for different body types and age groups. Gretchen's designs are boring. Mondo is the most creative out of the three, but again, it's the same designs and color combo each week. Andy is too much into the warrior princess look. Not sure how that translates to everyday wear.

I guess Mondo would be my pick.

I would be hard pressed to decide from the designs they've made so far. These 3 and Michael (my favorite out) had some great designs and then the next time hit rock bottom of the design barrel. I will be watching and happy I really don't have to judge.

I think Andy is going to surprise us a lot with very little in the warrior princess look.

I was disappointed in the winner:(

I'm glad I didn't watch tonight and maybe wont next season either

I didn't watch this season but I found myself watching the collections last night. I was able to just look at the clothes and not the designers since I hadn't one clue how they were edited this season. I fell asleep so I just now had to look up how they placed.

I thought all three were well done but I actually did like the winning collection best. I've always preferred that crunchy 70s vibe better than the bright 80s vibe of the second place collection. I didn't care for the color choices (well, choice - it was almost all one color) of the third collection at all.

I was surprised and disappointed at who won, but from the three collections, hers was the most off the rack wearable. It's funny though, because most past winners were comparable to Mondo and Andy. I thought Andy's collection was toned down from his past work. Mondo was true to himself, but it was nothing special for a runway collection.

I think part of my reason for not being a Gretchen fan was her out of the gate attitude and nastiness toward others, especially Michael. She did soften a bit towards the end which was nice to see.

I managed to not let the personalities of the people get in the way of my actually seeing the designs. It is difficult.

Andy did play very safe and tone out all of the warrior princess of his designs aspect. I think that is what hurt him the most. Taking the criticism to heart and blotting out his own eye on the design. If he had left a bit of the sharp edge he would have presented a better collection. I liked what he did but it looked dull compared to his previous works. I agreed with the judges the green cocktail dress was the best of the collection. The head pieces were not as flattering as he seemed to think.

Mondo I expected to see exactly what he presented and if I were a late teens girl, seeking attention, would have jumped into his clothing like wild fire. I love his work but I feel they just are not something a more mature/dignified woman will wear, except for the large polka dot evening gown. One word STUNNING on any woman. His work was very reminiscent of Seth Aaron's designs last season with the bold mixtures of patterns, graphics and pops of color. Seth did his designs specifically for the mid and upper teen girls.

Gretchen did hit the the wearable market spot on but in my opinion there was nothing luxurious about her collection. I think the range of woman who would wear the clothing she designed is much broader then either of the others. I really liked her design jewelry I think it had a lot to do with her total look and without it and her accessorizing much better her collection might not have presented as well. Her growth came in learning to accessorize and hair and makeup all in this finale.

They all worked hard and now they all have more knowledge and great exposure. I'm sure they will all do well in the future.

I was hoping Mondo would win . . . but I didn't really like ANY of the final collections! I think Gretchen was more mellow and humble at the end, but she really was a B at the beginning - although I think Ivy was even worse than Gretchen . . . she's just nasty and meeeeaaaan!

I think this show is a great teacher of first impressions. Seeing these strange-looking people covered in tattoos, funky hair, eccentric dress . . . most people (especially those of us over 50, I think) might form some negative opinions. I have to honestly say that I thought that when I first saw Mondo and Andy, who both turned out to be such sweet, kind and thoughtful people. DH calls Tim Gunn "my boyfriend" because I absolutely LOVE him!
