"Depends"! That was exactly my thought, Couch! And like Snoops, I've always accepted in the past when my fave didn't win but yikes - this is hard to take! I never wear black and white patterns but Mondo has made me want to! I haven't looked at silk in years or ever worn chartreuse but Andy made me want to. Gretchen? I did really like her silver blouse that she was wearing but that's pretty much it. The rest reminds me of a barn dance.

I shouldn't have checked this thread. OMG. I don't know if I can watch her win this. My initial feeling is that on one day in fashion, you are in. The next day, you are out. Project Runway.....you are out. Auf wiedersehen. *kiss* *kiss*

West Coast here -- I am so happy I just popped in to see who won. And now that I know Gretchen wins I won't bother watching. I thought for sure it would be Andy and Mondo in the final 2. These judges are crazy!!! Gretchen will be out faster than she is in.

It is Heidi's show, right? If it's 50-50, she should have the deciding vote. I am very disappointed. Mondo should have won!!!

What a sham! Always trusted the judges before even when I did not like their choice. They are supposed to be the experts. Not any more.

I had to come here to find some solace. First, I couldn't believe how long they dragged out the debate over who should win. Hardest decision ever? You've got to be kidding. It was one of the easiest, and they got it all wrong! No sooner than I heard them announce Gretchen as winner, than the tv was OFF! No chance that I would even sample their next show, about the woman finding jobs. They lost me immediately with this travesty. Does anyone know if there is a fan favorite being voted for? Only chance for them to make it up to Mondo in a small way.

OMG- NO!!!!!! We haven't watched last weeks yet and now I don't think I can watch. I was certain she would not be in final three and then when she was I was certain she would be first of the three to go. BLECH.

I'll admit to hating Gretchen's line less on the runway than I did in the pics. Some of it moved well and, despite the hideous shorts, lots of it looked very good. Still, some of those high waisted pants that made the hips OF THE MODELS look huge and their asses look flat were hideous. I still think it was full of unawsomeness, though. I still loved Mondo's and, even though I understood some of the criticism, I thought it was basically unwarranted. Lots of great designers have runway shows that are over-the-top aesthetically, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's not Michael's style, but it's sure Galliano's, Marc Jacobs', Miyake's, Gaultier's, et al. It seems to me that Mr Kors and NGFDMCM were responding to what they see as the typical fashion trend for recessions: a lot more pret-a-porter, a lot more dreariness, a lot less body consciousness, etc. And for heaven's sake, NGFDMCM kvetching that Mondo's collection is a cousin to Seth Aaron's significantly inferior line from last season? Give. Moi. A. Break. Seth Aaron really DID do circus clothes--and second rate ones, at that. It was good to see Betsey Johnson there complimenting Mondo's line. It seems to me that Ms Johnson would be wise to take on Mondo as a designer and, since she's got to be 70 by now, eventually turning the line over to him so he can revitalize it. She's been doing more or less the same thing for how long now? Mondo can bring a fresh vision to it and reinvigorate. Or maybe Vivienne Westwood needs someone to supply a fresh, youthful vision to her line. Whatever. Mondo has a bright, bright future IMO. FWIW, I actually cried when I saw Mondo lose. I can usually separate the designer from his or her clothing--that's why I loved Irina's clothes without loving her--but with Mondo, the clothes seemed to so perfectly externalize Mondo's inner workings....seeing him lose made me kinda depressed.

I get the decision but I don't like it; must be the thought of a too agressive/assertive Gretchen early on in the competition. Mondo has such a good and gentle soul that I was able to like to his designs even those I found some a little over the top. And didn't we get an in depth peek at the decision making on the winner ? Seems that Heidi and Michael arm wrestled for a winner..... It's best that I feel asleep before learning the decision.

I went to bed angry over Gretchen's win, didn't sleep well, and woke up still angry! Seemed to me that Mr. Kors was holding a grudge because Mondo didn't take his advice and cut the sleeves off the polka dot long dress. Really, we all should have seen this coming. Gretchen has been getting the sympathetic edit the last few episodes, probably re-edited in response to unfavorable viewer postings on various boards. Not sure I'll be able to tune in for the reunion show, though would like to hear some happy news from Mondo, Andy and Michael C. Beyond that, I won't watch another season of this show.

Well crumb. There is no way I'm gonna waste 2 hours of my time watching what I recorded if that woman won. I hated her designs thru most of the competition and was not impressed with the pre-finale postings of pix of her runway show. And I think I'm done with Project Runway. Not only was Gretchen the least likable person, she was one of the worst designers I've ever seen. Middle of the road, boring, matronly... Where is the runway fashion in that? Mondo should have won, or Andy. Project Runway, you've just lost an avid fan. It's your loss, not mine. This was one of the least enjoyable seasons ever with your constantly allowing footage to air of the bullying of Michael C, the negativity of Ivy and Gretchen... You didn't have to make the show be about the petty personalities of losers, yet you did. So, Project Runway, I'm sorry but you're OUT. Auf weidersehen.

I didn't bother watching either and I'm also done with this show. I won't miss it since the judges are a bunch of tools.

I am still depressed over the judges not seeing the obvious and giving Mondo the win. I come here relieved to find I am not the only one. Someone above mentioned a reunion show...is there going to be one? I am still praying for fan favorite for Mondo, if such there is. And is there a way to send Mondo an email? I rarely do that sort of thing, but am looking for some way to assuage the hurt. Mondo in my opinion is the best thing to come Project Runway's way since Christian Sciriano (sp?).

I'm really kind of in shock over this. I told me coworker to go ahead and tell me who won, because I figured there was no way I wouldn't find out before I had a chance to watch. She made a comment about being angry. I was like, "So Mondo didn't win?" She said, "Nope." I said, "Andy won?" and she said, "Nope." And my brain just stopped working because it was unfathomable to me that Gretchen won.

He's on Facebook. You can send him a message there, without having to friend him. Search for Mondo Guerra. (You can currently request to add him as a friend; he has too many pending friend requests! And deservedly so!)

Yes, it was a waste of time to watch the show last night. Depressing ending! Really - diapers won! They never addressed those, either. Who would wear those? Then, she has them on, too. The bullying thru the season to Michael was awful! I think that they thought it made good TV. I may be done with this show, too. And I so loved it, too.

I went to bed before the show was over, figuring I'd just catch it on Lifetime.com. Not watching now for sure, and glad I didn't watch it last night. I can't understand for the life of me how Gretchen won. Her stuff was ugly all the way through the season. There's no way in this world that she will make it as a designer, I haven't read of one person who likes her designs besides the judges. I'd love to hear Tim Gunn's true response to her win.

Ugh! That teaches me not to read spoiler alerts! I watched two hours of this being happy that Gretchen didn't win (because of the spoiler: Wednesday, October 20, 2010 - 7:52 am) and then BAM, she wins! What a crappy ending. I did enjoy the judges debating and arguing, but the whole time I kept thinking "well, at least I know Heidi will win them over because I know the winner isn't Gretchen..." ARGH. Such a disappointment and a waste of time. I actually don't dislike Gretchen's clothes; they're everyday/average... but that's not what I watch this show for!

Exactly, Starr. There's nothing *wrong* with Gretchen's clothes. They just aren't special, IMNSHO. Mondo's stuff was special.

Yep. I feel like I could walk into a JC Penney and see Gretchen's clothes, and there are even a couple of outfits I would wear if I could, but that is just not what I think should win Project Runway. I thought of the final 3, she had the least amount of vision and creativity. I'm really stunned she won. It's like awarding Bob Ross an art award over Michelangelo.

I am not happy with the winner of Project Runway, but what in the he** happened to Jessica Simpson's mouth? Her upper lip doesn't move! Too much botox? She is not looking so hot on the finale (nor sounding so great).

So it seems as if it's pretty unanimous? Almost everyone wants to know HOW THE HECK DID THAT WOMAN WIN?
