Gretchen wasn't my favorite either but I think the criticism has gone over-the-top. Some of it seems to be channeling all the nastiness and smugness that she was supposedly guilty of this season but I guess it depends on who the target is as to whether that's okay or not. I think Mondo had great pieces in his collection but some of those clothes also reminded me of 1980s MTV accented by hair & makeup from To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar. There are those who love that sort of boldness and good for them. I like a more minimalist, natural look. But I guess that makes me unfashionable because I don't conform. If I'm going to get so upset over something that happens in the fashion industry, it'll be over the use of furs & skins or something like that.

P.S. I still think Andy had the single best outfit from all the runway collections.

Can anyone tell me why Andy was so easily dismissed? I missed like 1 minute and he was no longer considered.

They didn't really give any reason other than that he lost his edginess. They basically just dismissed him like that... snap!

For entertainment purposes they decided to create a 'showdown' between the overly confident and unpleasant woman, and the overly confident and self-absorbed man. Andy was too boring.

I thought I read on here that she didn't win, so I recently watched the finale and was kind of ff'ing...they take soo long at the end....so I thought she was crying because she lost. I thought Mondo won and was shocked when she walked out on R&K yesterday. SHOCKED!

Yup. Ginger posted a spoiler from some guy with whom she works who claimed he knew the winner. He said he wouldn't tell her but only said it was NOT Gretchen. Turns out he was dicking with her, and intentionally told her a lie cuz he knew she didn't want Gretchen to win. Nice guy, huh? I think most of us were hoping for a Mondo or Andy win. Anyone BUT her!

I am still being a baby over this....we deleted both finale episodes without watching them.

One thing I like is that Gretchen seems to know it is not a popular win, and I am happy for that.

Is there fan favorite? I am undecided about watching a reunion....

"He was horrified. In fact, Heidi was so frustrated with NGFDMCM"

What does "NGFDMCM" mean?

Meggie, the reunion was part of the finale show that you deleted.

Actually, Megs, she totally thinks she deserved to win. There's an article in next week's TV Guide. While I can't find the article online (it's titled Project Runway's Big Upset), I did find this on their site, when they interviewed her:


quote:

TVGuide.com: When they announced that you won, was it hard to believe?
Gretchen: You know, I really believed that I was the winner and felt that I represented not only myself, but what Project Runway was all about. So, it didn't feel crazy to me.




In the article in next week's magazine, she states (when questioned if her "depiction on the show was fair": "My goal was to get the most exposure I possibly could. If it was just the sweet girl, I wouldn't have been highlighted the way I was." And then there's "Regardless of how people connected with me, they talked about me, and that's something I'm grateful for."

Yeah whatever. You got lucky, Gretchen, that Heidi got overruled by Kors and Garcia. And after you pay off your bills and move to NY, most everyone will say "who?".

Ironically, this season and the finale has caused much more discussion on this site than in any season I can remember, but so many are saying they are through with the show. And it has a different feeling from the times in the past when people say that. This time it sounds as though people really mean it.

If this attitude is truly repeated on other sites, it could have a real negative impact on their next season.

Of course, it could have a positive effect in that people will tune it just to see if they are going to repeat their disastrous season once again or clean up their act.

Who knows? Those of us who like reality TV are a little weird anyway.

Oh she definitely thought she should win, but I love that she knows it is not a popular win. Love it!

Allie, the thing is that THIS season was purportedly touted as all new and refreshed. Instead they gave us an hour, with not much new stuff, and nothing really refreshed about it. And a cast of quite a few not very nice people. Bullies, I might add.

Quite true, Costacat. And judges that seemed to change their minds about what they wanted from week to week.

True that!

I tried the link and got an error. I really did want to look at it and see if it looked like Gretchens collection, LOL.

I don't think Vera Wang and Gretchen Jones designs look anything alike. I like Vera Wang--do not at all like Gretchen Jones.

Hey Smokey,

The link I posted was supposed to have the fashion show too. It did right after I posted it, but now not at all. Thanks for posting the link.
