If Jeffrery gets kicked off due to that chien it will be a travesty and an abomination, and the end of my three year viewership. What is it if not cheating if you stir up hostility and drama among the others, and then try to knock out the superior talent by casting aspersions. I'm just sick that she would use her constant stream of venom to try to get the one true original and fresh designer off the show

Hi Tim, I saw on the show that you scupt. I started out sewing at around 11 years of age, but then just did it sporadically until recently, but inbetween then and now, I worked with clay as a wheel potter for several years, as well as Raku along with mixing glazes and then took up sculpting. I feel that pottery, even sculpture, and sewing are crafts that anyone can simply learn. Putting your signature on your pieces, figuratively speaking, is simply an expression of the learned craft techniques. Do you agree that it's not so much an art, but a craft?

Tim's point is a good one. The designers are (or at least should be) being assessed on the basis of their individual talents and their point of view. That assessment should not be coloured by personality traits that are largely irrelevent.

More generally I don't think that gross labels like 'gay' or 'straight' really help us understand a person. Each person is uniquely distinct and should be assessed on their own terms rather than pigeon-holed.

All that having been said, it is very natural for viewers to become attached to, and interested in, the designers as people. That is a large part of what the show is about after all, showing talented people with vivid personalities facing the demands of the competition. The audience is expected to be intrigued by these individuals and how they respond to the situations they're in. Let's face it, if the viewing public didn't care about the participants the show wouldn't be anywhere near as successful as it is.

In that context it's perfectly normal for people watching the show to be curious about the designers and want to know more about them.

I don't think it would be appropriate for Tim to be the source of such information however. The designers get ample screen time to express those aspects of their personalities they want people to see. They will have further opportunities in interviews, blogs, and articles (both online and in print). If the designers are happy to share their personal lives with the public it shouldn't be too difficult for them to do so. So those people who are curious should, in time, be able to get their answers straight from the horse's mouth.

I believe it would very much undermine Tim's position if he were to be telling tales about the designers out of school. He has set very high standards in integrity and diplomacy, which he works assiduously to maintain.

I have become hooked on watching Project Runway. The designers are all very human and very sympathetic. After seeing their homelives and families, I really wanted success for each of them. I truly hope that Jeffrey gets to show his line. It is very unfair and spiteful of Laura to attack him and start trouble. Her designs can stand on their own - she does not need to accuse Jeffrey of cheating just to improve her chances. Jeffrey seems like the underdog in this competition and will be devastated if he has his chance taken away from him at the last possible moment. Let him show his work!

Tim,
Though this may not be all that important to you, I do not usually watch reality-based TV shows, but I have found this show particularly interesting. Part of that comes from the cast, you and Heidi are great! The other has been the code of ethics, adherence to the rules, and the general sense that the participants are real fashion designers. It's so easy to get drawn into the negative aspects of relationships on-screen, everyone rooting for one person or another based on personal feeling and then feeling wronged when something happens to the person you picked. I was very impressed with the different collections (or bits of collections shown) for the final challenge! What amazing creativity! I was, however, disappointed to find out that Jeffrey has been booted off the show due to supposed instincts of highly nervous people. I do understand that trying to do the right thing is never easy, especially with everyone watching, but...he had the best reaction to his collection, he was finished with the collection, and he surprised everyone with his chosen designs. Under pressure, I know I get irritated at the guy with all the work done, who makes it look easy to do what he's doing, etc, but that is really childish...I should have been better prepared, the blame lies with me--not him. After lengthy explaining, I am wondering what the process was that the producers used to decide whether Jeffrey would be allowed to stay or forced to leave. He was THAT close to the end, why cheat now? It doesn't make any sense,if he is the kind of person I have believed him to be as I know many other viewers feel the same way. Not naming names, but the other designers were very quick in their judgement of the situation, letting psychology into the moment...they feared he would win, they fear each other...look at the footage of their reactions, comments, and body language when they each brought their collections in for the first time, the paranoia is obvious and Jeffrey was the 'kid in class with all the right answers' so he became the sacrificial lamb. Thanks for reading my long comment, your attention is much appreciated.

There are so many things I could say here but I promise I will make it brief. First, I saw the video on here that Jeffery is still there. So - we will have to put up with his crap a bit longer. I do not like him as a designer or as a person. He is a bully and a liar to mine humble opinion. I do not believe that he did the stiching all himself this last time. How in the world did he do all that work alone so that he did not even have to nip and tuck once he got there? All they other designers were working up to the last minute - making sure the designs fit their models and all that sort of thing. Here he was sitting around all calm and settled. I sure pray he don't win. But if he does, good for him. I do wish him no harm - and if he wins, you go kiddo!

As for Tim, I am impressed with him. He is a gentleman firstly - which is rare these days, he has a fashion sense that is very clean, intelligent and well, I love it. Also he has a way with the designera, he knows when to encourge them and when to scold. A good teacher I think. I am not a fashion person. I just know what I like and what I don't. I don't care if it is "IN" this year or not. Too poor for that. I truly like the show. And I am not a TV person and I am so glad that each week they repeat the show after mindnight. Thanks for giving us an insight in this competive world of fashion.

Hi Tim, just wanted to comment on last nights show - I could almost have predicted that Laura would attack someone if not jeoffrey than someone because of her insecurities of her ability to compete - why couldn't jeoffrey have completed those 12 outfits in the time given - he was always done before anybody else during the past competitions and he did good work then I can believe he would do exceptional work with more time - also with his past experiences he would be able to complete them faster - she only started designing clothes and sewing so it should take her longer - jeoffrey has been sewing and designing clothes for a longer time and he doesn't have 4 kids at home either - I am sure she didn't use every minute to sew - I am sure she had family time as well - so she shouldn't be mean and try to get rid of him as competition - I don't think it will be fair - first Angela and you know her mom was just waiting for a moment to attack because of angela - especially if she saw any of the earlier shows so - laura is just as bad - with that attitude towards competition she SHOULDN'T WIN either - IF SHE CAN'T HANDLE THE HEAT NOW SHE WON'T EVER MAKE IT AS A DESIGNER.

I truly enjoy your show and look forward to each one.

Loved the reunion show butI have to say that I wish you had show some missed clips of poor Angela... like telling her Mom to wait until the fashion show to telll the judges how she felt about the dress while they whispering behind the changing screen... she is just a devious as Jeffrey knew she was. How about poor Angela when she drove Vincent crazy (which would not be far to go) and went out of her way to annoy him on one of the challenges.. poor Angela, I don't think so and come on 99% of her things were really awful ---
If Jeffrey broke the rules I know he will have to go, but I really think that Laura has gone out of her way to make him feel bad, I know that he acted pretty bad sometimes but we are always giving people second chances, her superior attitude is really tiresome and she is really threatend by his work and it makes her look pretty sad this late in the game.

I really love Project Runway but the fact that Jeffrey might get kicked off is disgusting. Laura has been feuding with Jeffrey forever. That doesn't mean that this is any different. She feels threatened, as she should, because like Heidi said, she is a one-note. She will NEVER come out of her shell as a designer because she is not a designer. She is an architect and an architect she will stay. Her craftsmanship is all fine and dandy but if she gets her own line, other people will need to help with the craftsmanship and she won't have anything else to show. SHE DOES NOT HAVE A STYLE. LET JEFFREY STAY.
I know that the judging is not up to you, so I just hope you can convey this point to the judges somehow.
I enjoy watching you on Project Runway so much. I don't think I will quit watching, but don't expect me to be happy.

Hi Tim~ My husband and I have been loyal 3 season watchers of PR and we are very upset with the thought of Jeffrey not showing at Bryant Park. All four designer had the same time frame and knew what was at stake. Jeffrey had more than showed his ability to do fine detail and hand sewing during the Paris challenge. Jeffrey has very broad skills and has made pants for himself on the Jet setter challenge and pants for the Macy challenge early on and he does have "Mad Skills". Laura had made a pitiful dress with no fashion sense at all for the Paris challenge and she has won the fewest challenges of the 4 designers. Laura has been barely making it and has always second guessed herself and we worried about some real competition. Given how season 2 ended where you guys had them make an additional piece, who wouldn't want to be finished and ready for what you guys threw at them for a finale. I think this will be the last season for me if Jeffery doen't show at BP. If someone is accused in a crime a guilty verdict is only handed if proven without reasonable doubt and I hope that is the case here otherwise he should be able to show his collection. If Jeffery is not able to show it will be a travisty and then I hope Ulli wins!!

I read an article in USA Today where Laura expressed reasons behind her suspicions beyond the craftsmanship of J's work. Apparently, her mother and Jeffereys' stayed in touch and developed a friendship after the Mom Challenge. During the two months' the designers had to complete their collections, Jefferey's mom shared with Laura's that she was worried because he was so far behind, he was never going to finish, etc. Laura's mom then shared this with Laura. This was never mentioned during the actual show.

Of course, don't believe everything you read, but there appears to be more behind the story.

I would be curious as to the rules that apply to the final collection. Do the designers have to cut every pattern piece, press every seam, sew every button themself? What if they pay someone out of their $8,000? I am a professional quiltmaker and teacher and I hire students to press seams for me while I sew, yet I would certainly argue that I made that quilt!!!

From the previews of the next show, it appears that Jeffrey will be kicked off. I am really dissappointed with this show.

The shoes were shown, but not judged. I really would like to see Jeff's work. I think he deserves to be seen. In the recycling project, his outfit was better than Michaels. I would not wear Michael's. Jeff was wearable and pretty.

Doesn't anyone else find it odd that out of 3 seasons of finalists Jeffrey is the only one to arrive back at Parsons with nothing left to do? Do you really think out of all of these people he is more motivated, better at time management that he is the only one with nothing left to do? One of the other designers said it was hard to pick a favorite designer on the show because they have to do it all: design, sketch, shop, drape, fit models and input hair and make-up. He may be a fine designer with his own unique point of view but he didn't suddenly become expert at construction. It was pointed out in every challenge that Laura's construction was outstanding - she know wherof she speaks. That doesn't make her petty or envious - it's not personal, it's just fact.

I think the way she is behaving is out of plain jealousy. She is so transparent....I have no respect for her any more. Laura darn well knew that Jeffrey was her only competition, and she just wanted him out of the way. I used to think that Wendy, from season 1, was a cold bitch until Laura. She really is the ice queen, devoid of all feelings. Hell, Laura makes Keith look good! I would also lose respect for the show itself if Jeffrey is not allowed to show his line. Really, next week's finale will suck without Jeffrey in it....you watch the ratings go down.

Hi Tim and all, Let's add diplomacy to your repertoire listed above. I do believe that taking Laura's accusations to the producers of the show and allowing them to do the investigation was the proper and just thing to do. Those who have made snap judgments about the situation are only setting themselves up for knock-downs. If what Laura believes is true, then kicking Jeff off the show is just as fair as kicking Keith earlier. Breaking the rules is breaking the rules. If they find that Laura's accusations are hog-wash, then they will allow him to show his collection and remain in competition for the winning spot. I'd rather not be the judge and jury on this one. It will be easy enough for the producers to find out the truth, he's already said there were a couple pieces he sent out to have pleated....

I have to agree with Laura on this one (Michael said he was thinking the same thing). If you've watched the show before, all the designers who reach Fashion Week are running around AND having to make adjustments for the models they pick for their show. And Jeffrey is just twiddling his thumbs? AND doing work that he never showed any previous week (even Uli agreed with this)? AND designing for his own line? It's a little hard to believe if only because we've seen other seasons. I'd love to know what Chloe or Santino would think.
I would be glad for whoever wins but Jeffrey has the most creative spark, Uli has the most groovy, easy-to-wear ideas, Laura is the most elegant and Michael, who has been strong in the past, looks very weak here.

By the way, I'm curious what you thought of Vincent's comments on the Reunion show that he didn't "bow down to you". Well, no matter how you felt, it's obvious the comments you were given were completely related to his fashions. He is so eccentric I kind of feel sorry for him. Anyway.

Just a little comment about the Jeffers. I know many people with addictive personalities (myself included!); I have no problem believing that Jeffery finished his work with perfection. Once an addict latches on to something (whether it is a person, drug, or project) it becomes the most important thing in the world. His completed collection looks as though it was finished by a man driven by obsession for perfection. I can totally see a crazy Jeffers staying up every night for weeks getting every little stich right. He did not cheat. Red's a beyotch. M. Knight is sweet. Uli is fabulous Uli.

Jeffory seems to have worked since day one of getting back home. I personally don't think that he had outside help, and if he did then he did and should have to face the consequences of his actions. But I truley think that it would be insulting for Laura to accuse him of it. And really! If Uli hadn't metioned to him what Laura was saying, she wouldn't have told him...

I'm just wondering how can a designer get in the NY Fashion Week if they'd been Auf'd from Project Runway of the same season. I'm talking about Malan. I know there's one who made it to the Fashion Week after a year or two I think but not the same year as when he or she lost in PR. It just make me think that as long as you have the money to produce creations or designs and connection you can be at Fashion Week. The 4 that you have right now had never been Auf'd they earned it.
It could have been better if Malan joined in a year after.
Let's go to Jeffrey's case. I know Jeffrey made it to the Fashion Week for I've seen it in the NY news. Is it because the accusation isn't proven true or he was just taken in but won't be given a chance to win PR ???

Don't designers believe that clothing should be fun? Mr. Kors' black blazer, black shirt combo seems fit for a funeral. Hell, slap a white collar around his neck, and he could give the sermon. Well, at least that way he'd give extra meaning to being a 'man of the cloth.' LOL.

I'm learning this after 20+ years in the field. Thanks.

I just wanted to make a quick comment regarding Jeffery and last weeks episode. I have been a weekly viewer of PR since its first episode and admit that project runway is the only television show I watch on a regular basis. I felt that what happened last week with the accusations made toward Jeffery were immoral and unjustified. Regardless of how anyone feels about him as a person, it is unfair to make accusations regarding someones work because it is "too good", thus putting him under a microscope that none of the other contestants have to live under during the most stressful weeks of their designing lives. I have always been baffled as to why designers show up with so much last minute work to do before Bryant Park, and was not surprised to finally see someone take the most imporant event of their career as seriously as Jefferey did by being finished ahead of time. If Jefferey is kicked off the show for this accusation I will be turning off my TV to this show for good. It is absolutely heart breaking to see someone unjustly put through the emotional ringer like he had to last week, regardless of his personality. I hope that this is cleared up fairly, that the others designers work is scrutinized as much as his was, and that Laura be asked to make an apology.

Do you think since these designers were more seasoned, more exposed to the fashion business that it changed the flavor of the show? And, if so, are you thinking about next year's crop of designers and whether the producers want to revert back to less seasoned designers.
Just a thought.

But, if he chose to take a short cut during this finale, I don't think he should be in the judging, he made a conscience decision, and at least Laura had the maturity to tell him to his face, so it doesn't seem like back stabbing. And, frankly, having watched all three seasons, it is clearly stated, all work is to be done by the designer. Remember when Kara San tried to get designer shoes for her show? She had to scramble to find footwear for her models. Competition comes with rules, if you break or bend them, and are caught, then admit it and move on. If this is unfounded, at least Laura, Michael and Uli had their say.

Hi Tim,
Why did you take the word of laura with no proof against Jeff?
I don't think she had proof so why even investigate it. Was all the Designers under the same scunity? I thought Project Runway was a Design contest not a personality contest. Are you guys trying to disqualify Jeff because you dont want him to win? I remember Last year you said you didn't want Santino to win because Jay had won the year before. It would be a freak show. I think the designers should be judged on design not personality. Jeff good luck. No matter what you are a talented designer and you wil go far.

Hi Tim!

I love your style and diplomacy on the show! It's so refreshing to have a reality series with intelligent people on it for a change. I really learned a lot from the "Everyday Woman" episode. Why do designers have such a hard time designing for plus sized figures? Are there any classes on designing for different body shapes taught at Parsons or other fashion institutes? There are a LOT of young, hip women who fall in that 14-22 sized category. I'm an 18/20 and I know I would spend more money on clothes if the choices offered weren't so ugly. Why do so many designers turn out the sort of shapeless tents that Robery made for Vincent's sister instead of cuter, more flattering outfits like what Uli made for Kayne's mom?

P.S.-Can't wait for Season 4!

This is the only show I watch regularly. I admire the participants for being able to handle the pressure of any of these structured challenges. I'm a creative artist and my best creations come with detachment from stress...sleeping on it, going for a jog or a drive, thinking about other things... Point being, I noticed Jeffrey's ease and focus ...and how many times he was done 'way ahead of time' during the challenges along the way. Others have commented thier observation of that. His ways may be different than our conditioned ideas of politeness, but I can not recall him ever being untruthful during any episode. I believe he represents a modern and leading-edge version of integrity to many people (myself included) and that is why so many people feel for the way he was accused...and that he was even accused at all!

What's the point of having rules if no one is going to follow them? Every contest has rules and contestants should have to abide by them. I can't believe the number of negative comments against Laura. I think she did the right thing. The 4 finalists have all worked very hard to get there and they should all have to follow the rules. If Jeffery has done nothing wrong, then he has nothing to worry about. I think I am the average woman and I think Laura's designs are more in line with what the average American woman wears.... and so do all my friends and colleagues that watch the show. There are many more woman that can wear Laura's designs than Jeffrey's. I think Tim is the best part of the show!!

Hello Tim,

I have a question about the couture challenge, did that mean that nothing is sewn by machine? hems must be sewn by hand? etc. etc. ??? I did not understand what it meant to sew a couture gown in two days for the challenge.

Also, question 2: Many of the designers put attractive embellishments-beads, rhinestones etc. on their garments. What other tools are permissible to use (especially when you have to complete a collection in 2 months) ie/ are bedazzler's, machine embroidery ( Bernina sells the machines), knitting machines etc. verboten?

Question 3: On the couture challenge, I thought that Laura had a beautiful dress but it did not pack well. Was packing and shippiing the garment part of the challenge? Who is responsible for packing the garments on the show?

I had an idea of using starch spray and ironing the ruffles up towards the neck and using rolled up tissue and tape or any method to hold the ruffles down (like teasing hair or stroking pet fur the wrong way then fastening it down-)with some king of duct tape so the collar would spring back jauntily.

Question 4 or whatever: I live in a very small town in the midwest where we had a nice local sewing shop where she was able to offer beautiful fabrics of all kinds. Later she said that she was finding it extremely more difficult to get good quality fabrics because of trade issues and it is showing in the goods. She is still open but is only doing quilting stuff-ginghams, terry etc.

The only other options we seem to have is Walmart and those fabrics are umm---well iffy. If i had won the position to design for a full collection, I would be afraid that I would be reduced to Walmart--I do not want to knock Walmart but I haven't found the loveling dress and suiting fabrics I used to see at the local shop which do not seem to be available anymore. Any commentary on this? What can we do about trade policies? Which are good congressional bills etc.?

Finally, I was able to get to the Mood store homepage but I am unable to see their fabric collection let alone access it. How does the website work?
It did show a store outline of where the various fabrics were supposedly displayed but no pictures and nothing to click.

Thanks for your time and looking forward to the next season. I sure do miss the current designers already, even if I do not understand Angela or Vincent. I did like her icon black and Vincent's green gown for L Connor.

Bless

I used to be a big fan of Laura's until she accused Jeffrey of cheating. Laura is very talented but also very manipulative. Tim, ask yourself. Who would benefit the most by having Jeffrey kicked off the show? Of course, Laura! There is no doubt in my mind she is doing this as a strategic move to win the competition and I have to admit I am upset with the producers for going along with her. She has absolutely no proof and all the motive in the world to make Jeffrey dissapear. Her own words "I am surprised at how competive I have become" and "I really want to win" and "I want to take those other designers down". Tim, you should know better!

What is the big deal if Jeffrey sent somes shorts out to be pleated? That doesn't mean that someone else completely sewed the garments. I seem to recall that in Season 2, Santino had reported to Tim on Tim's visit, that he had a gown pleated (Fortuny pleats, yet!) and Santino was certainly not disqualified. So is seems there is a precedent.

Hi Tim,

How can Project Runway justify, not only picking Jeffrey as the winner, but also just passing him through to the finals when he behaved sso horribly all season long. He was a nasty bully & that behavior would have gotten him fired from any company in America. Why should others, who only wanted to compete on an even playing field, have had to deal with the harrassment he dealt out?? And don't you think it sets a poor example for how you get ahead??

I am sadly disappointed at this seasons choice for the winner of project runway. Not one item that Jeffrey sent down the runway was wearable. His entire collection looked like cheap, trashy, left over scraps thrown together and totally unrealistic in today's fashion world. I think Uli or Laura should have won. All of their items were beautiful and completely wearable. They were classy, and tasteful. I will say that I am regretful for wasting all my time watching this season's poor display of a "supposed" winner. If ALL of Uli's clothes were wearable then why did she not win? And if ALL of Laura's clothes were beautiful and meticulously designed then why did she not win? I can assure you Project Runway will not be watched in my home again. Spending hours watching it this season has by far been the biggest waste of my valuable time this year. I do think that this contest was set up from the beginning. Not one person with any sense of fashion at all would have chosen jeffrey as the winner. It must just be for all the drama!! What a complete and total disappointment!!

Congratulations, Jeffrey! I have always liked Laura and she really did a beautiful collection, but her accusations against J. really made me feel outraged. Maybe that's because of Jeffrey's very pathetic reaction to it. But it did seem terribly cruel. Part of the problem was the unpleasant precedent made by kicking the very talented Keith off. He probably did bend the rules; he always seemed to be doing that. But that nasty incident was always lurking in the background. Kind of like Nixon's impeachment.... Anyway, I loved all 4 finalists and I thought Laura, Ulli and Jeff all did collections worthy of winning. The rest is taste. I really couldn't have decided myself. I wish the judges had congratulated these 4 great guys more--not just for making it to Fashion Week--but for the wonderful, meticulous, exciting collections they put together. No one person of the top three deserved it a whole lot more than the others. Bravo!

I am OUTRAGED!!! What happened to the so-called "integrity" of Project Runway. Jeffrey obviously cheated! Do you think he was going to hand over receipt for the stitching his sweatshop employees did for him? What kind of investigation was done? The implementation of the rules should be consistent. The inconsistency makes me question the outcome. If Keith was kicked off for breaking a rule, Jeffrey should have too. Even if he sewed his own garments (which no one thinks he does -- even sweet Uli questioned it), he went over budget! Is that not breaking a rule? I guess the penalty from breaking one rule is that you get to replace a leather skirt from your collection with a leather pair of pants you have laying around, but breaking other rules gets you kicked off. If that is the case then Keith should have been allowed to continue with some minor penalty.

Jeffrey's designs are strictly fads; like the mood ring & pet rock of yesteryear. I don't think he has staying power. On the other hand, l Uli's collection was the best of the 4 in my opinion...not one dud in the dozen. Laura's, too, was lovely.

Why put all of this in if they are going to choose someone that doesn't appeal to the mayority? Uli's collection makes women feel beautiful and sexy (universal). Laura's collection was impeccable, absolutely gorgeous. Why Jeffrey? His collection was boring, ordinary. I don't know if I will be watching next season, I'm certainly going to miss YOU!

Dear Tim,
I am writing this to you because I feel you are the most honest and trustworthy person involved with Project Runway.
When I want evening-wear I go to a designer who does just that. Classic, Beautiful Evening-wear.
If I want sport wear I go to someone who designes sport wear.
Attractive but functional sport wear.
My point is, I don't understand why the judges seem to want to force a designer out of their forte'. I understand stimulating creativity and inspiration but if an outfit is beautiful, functional and not too "out there", what's wrong with it?
Also, when did "innovative" change its definition to mean "ugly"? Jeffery may be willing to try new things, but that doesn't mean that they work. His clothes are ugly.
Admittedly, I am speaking as a 51 year old grandmother, but
class is class, no matter how old you are and he just does not have it.
As a result, I will not be watching Project Runway in the future, which is sad because I really liked the show but I can not and will not support something I think was wrong.
Thank you for your time in reading this note to you. I truely think you are tremendous and I look forward to seeing more of you.

Hi Tim! First I'd like to say that I admire you and your poise, especially when you are in uncomfortable positions. The first time I say Project Runway was last season...it was the last couple of episodes. I was hooked and watched every episode of this season. It actually got to a point where not only could I predict who would be "auf" but why. And most of the time, I would agree with the judges' decision. I really enjoyed the show and I do feel that this season was the best. However, I'm really disappointed with the outcome of this season. I'm not expressing my feelings of whether I felt Jeffrey cheated or not. Honestly, I could understand his point of view. I could also understand where Laura was coming from. What I took into consideration was the results-the Show. Eventhough I wanted Michael to win, I felt that Uli's collection was the winning selection. I would have never thought that Jeffrey would win. There were a couple of pieces that I liked, but Uli's collection is more marketable. I'm 24 and I would wear either Uli's or Michael's collection. If I was older, I'd go for Laura's collection. But I felt that Jeffrey's collection, however creative, was no comparison to Uli's collection. I'd love to know how to contact Uli and Michael. I'm sorry to say, I won't be watching Project Runway anymore.

Wow. I have to hand it to you. Bravo was an expert at manipulating our emotions all through this PR season. This is the first time I've written to a blog, but I must agree with many of the comments I've read, that this outcome was a real disapointment. I know that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, but I believe that the rules are not very clear to anyone, including the judges, or that they are not consistent when they apply them. You become even more aware of this after you watch rerun after rerun almost every day, and still don't understand their logic. Maybe it's because I'm latin and my sense of beauty and proportions are somewhat different from the american "mainstream" or the saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I tell you, talent has no language or color. I've learned through my life that true success comes not by winning a competition, but by a combination of hard work, learning from your mistakes, a positive disposition and, maybe, a little good luck. Saying this, I believe that last night winner, Jeffrey, is a very lucky man. But a win doesn't make him a successfull person. Maybe if he takes this win and combines it with a little humility, gratefulness and compasion, he'll be on his way. Maybe if he began behaving just like I'm sure many people treated him, respected him and cared for him while he was overcoming his addiction. Sure, many people may think, including the judges, his collection was creative and inspired, but if you pick up any fashion magazine fron the '80's, you will see these same fashions, better thought and executed, and these judges are old enough to remember and know this. Yes, he could be different, but as Tim so cleverly said to Laura at her home after seeing her green dress, "is it pretty? I don't think so." Anyway, good luck to Jeffrey and may you see the light. As for the other designers, don't worry. Sometimes losing you win. Now you'll have time, experience and connections to make it on your own and not because you won a contest. Michael, you were and are my favorite (surprise) although the pressure got the best of you. However, you managed to get a beautiful collection on the runway and I know you will go far. Laura, If I were a woman, I think I'd be you. I look forward to see your creations on any red carpet. Uli, you surprised me in the best way. You should have won. As for me, I'm sad to say I've had enough of Proyect Runway. There are better things to do on any Wednesday night, sorry Bravo. Best of luck to everyone involved in the production, especially Tim, who should think about not renewing his contract, or he will inevitably fall into their game. Carry on!!!

Tim, I'm not in the habit of sending emails, however, I believe this is an exception. You show to be a man of character and good upbringing as well as all the judges involved in the show. However, I don't understand how the judges ruled Jeff as the winner. Participants in any sport are highly regarded when they show their TALENT and MOST IMPORTANTLY GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP. My children have watched the show and throughout the entire series commented of how arrogant, rude, and lack of manners Jeffrey was and yet your show gave a prize to this person based on “talent”. My friend “talent” does not give an individual the right to trash or be rude to others and in all honesty I am so disappointed with the show that I don’t believe I will watch it anymore, unfortunately for my children and me it lost its magic. I believe that no matter how hard and difficult a person’s life is as in the case of Jeffrey, it doesn’t give him the excuse to be rude. The decision in declaring Jeffrey the winner only sends a distorted message to the new generation, saying that “it’s o.k. to be rude, curse and trash other people as long as you have talent”. I’m wondering have the judges ever consider to include in their judging sportsmanship and character as an element of their final decision making?

p.s Please don’t mistake my comment as “judgmental” because it isn’t, I don’t know Jeffrey on a personal level therefore, I can’t judge the man, however, I can judge the character and the demeanor based on what your producers present to us as viewers.

My boyfriend and I are still in shock over last night’s final decision. Shocked and dismayed and baffled by the selection of Jeffrey as the winner.

The contrast between our reaction to Season 3’s finale and Season 2’s finale is significant. Last season we felt elated after the show—thrilled for Chloe and Daniel. The contest came down to two very deserving individuals who had proven themselves throughout the season to be a Top Designer. Both Daniel and Chloe exhibited characteristics that were easy to root for—professional demeanor, positive work ethic, appealing personalities, creative, inspiring, motivated, dedicated, skillful, and sane. Santino was clearly brought along for the ride to provide the conflict that reality show producers often feel obliged to provide to insure “good tv.” Although we don’t agree with this kind of viewer manipulation, we felt certain that the judges would ultimately choose based on professionalism and craftspersonship—which they did.

Although I am clueless about the fashion industry, I am savvy about television production. As a video editor, I know firsthand the power of the editor and their ability to portray an individual as kind, cruel, ditzy, intelligent, or psycho with a simple video cut. The decisions that have been made editorially throughout Season 3 have successfully fed us certain impressions about the contestants. Decisions to show Jeffrey as an unprofessional, immature, psychologically unbalanced, often cruel but mostly contentious provocateur have been more than successful. Editing cuts were made intentionally to feed us impressions about Michael, Uli, Laura, and Jeffrey—not only to give us a sense of their fashion sense and sewing skills but also about who they are and their ability to work under pressure. We saw whether they could maintain grace under pressure or lose it when the stakes got high. Jeffrey was made out to be the “bad boy”—unable to deliver a professional work demeanor amid contestants who could. To reward that kind of unprofessionalism is baffling and sullies the reputation of the show, the producers and staff, Tim Gunn, Heidi Klum and the participating judges. Jeffrey personifies the kind of decline in civility that industries all over are having to deal with. Managers are being sent to workshops like “How To Deal With Difficult People” to learn how to rein in and adjust the inappropriate and disrespectful behavior of staffpersons who are costing companies in time and money.

It’s an insult to your audience to think that a contest between professional people who exhibit a professional work ethic would not be an adequate draw for ratings. It’s hard to believe that Tim Gunn stands behind this decision.

I was glad when Jefferey wasn't kicked off because I was dying to see his collection but once I saw it I wasn't really thrilled, and honestly I was hoping Michael would win, but I thought Uli should have won. She had the greatest collection of the four. I really don't understand how the person who had the uglist clothes could win. I am totally against this ruling and this show has lost alot of respect with me. I am not alone in this thought and wish the decision could be changed.
Who did you want to win or thought should have won?

Even Michael's clothes were nice and wearable. Jeffrey's were UGLY! Look at them again online. YUK! AWFUL!
Shame on those judges for picking such a ghastly untalented designer! Made me not want to watch the show any longer. Jeffrey should have gotten last place.

Tim, I am confused about why the judges told Kayne his black back-slit skirt was skanky because it revealed too much when the model walked (I agreed), but Jeffrey's yellow plaid gown had the front slit cut to the crotch and he still won the challenge. On both runway walks, especially the one in Paris, the gown parted at the crotch as the model walked but not one judge commented on it. In my mind, that alone disqualified the gown as couture, it was cheap. Secondly, since Jeffrey repeatedly made disparaging remarks about Laura's cocktail look being a "one note", all high waisted baby doll dresses, and the judges seemed to agree and really lectured her about it... then why were Jeffrey's short dresses in his show all high waisted baby doll dresses, and that was Ok with the judges? Jeffrey's only evening gown looked exactly like an Uli dress, which Jeffrey made fun of as moo-moos, and the judges even said it was a nightmare, but he still won? I confess to being thoroughly confused by what the judges approve and disapprove of... seems to me exceptions were repeatedly made for their favorite designer.

Hi, Tim!

I've been watching PR since the first season. I am intrigued by the talents that these designers have shown. I was disappointed to the fact that two people felt the need to accused others contestants when they are so desparately in need to win the competition! I think that all persons have the right to show what they can design on each challenge until they are auf'd. I absolutely think that Jeffery has an amazing talent being the rocker style with a passionate side. I also love the way Uli and Michael design their clothes but I had expected to see the designs that Michael showed throughout the competition to be apart of the finale and that was his signature. Uli has an amazing eyes for prints into fashion! I applaud her. Way to go, Jeffery! I congratulate the runner-ups! Great Show!

Why have rules if you don't enforce them? Why harp on integrity when there's no penalty for having none. Season 1: Kara Saun showed.....even with her "overbudget" shoes. Season 3: Jeffrey goes 3% overbudget, and had he not been audited would have gotten away with it. But.....NO PENALTY for trying to "slip one by." (Do we really believe he doesn't have a calculator and can't add his own receipts???). Not letting him show might have been a bit harsh.....but losing ONE place in the overall standings (which would have precluded his "win" WOULD have been very appropriate. From the comments of everyone I've talked to, it's clear that only your judges thought he had the best collection, anyhow. The competition is interesting and fun to watch. It's merely a shame you don't carry your lectures about rules and integrity to their proper conclusion.

Ugggh...week after week with such dedication I watched Project Runway. I'm completely baffled as to the outcome. Jeffrey? come on. He has one note..a bad note. Uli shined for the final competition. Yes, women would wear her clothes, Yes women would buy her clothes...so No Uli doesn't win. Nina, Michael...thought you two had more style than that.

The ending was such a disappointment..I could have handled any other person besides Jeffrey to win.
I so enjoyed the program all season, and what a bitter let down. This was my first, and last project runway for me.

Tim,
I have been watching PR for two seasons so far. Sorry, I didn't get my arms around it for Season 1. I have to say that PR is a TRUE reality show. You take a group of people with a common goal, achievement in their chosen field and give them an opportunity to find success. They compete with others but the main competetor is themselves. No one is eating jellyfish or building shelter with a couple sticks. The competition on PR is about each designer's own stuggle to find themselves in their work. It is facinating to watch. Even if you don't really like someone like Jeffrey, you have to be pulling for him because of all he has endured in life. I really thought Uli would win but in the end I felt Jeffrey hit a home run when he needed to. Congratulations to all on another great season!

I absolutely love the show Project Runway, it has to be my favorite and the most interesting reality show yet. That being said, I was a little disappointed that Jeffery won. Don't get me wrong, I loved his designs and I thought he did some great pieces, but his attitude alone should have got him kicked off the show. He is so unprofessional and it seems as if he can't work with everyone in the real world. Face it, there are a lot more difficult people than Angela's mother and Laura. I truly don't believe that he has the patience and understanding of a costumer. His solution to solve a problem is to curse them out, and I don't believe and, I’m sure many others agree, that it is necessary and many wouldn't appreciate that kind of behavior. I believe that Ulli should have won. Her final collection was great! And everyone loved her! Her designs were very different than what she was done throughout the competition and they were wonderful. She is a nice person, and seems like an easy person to get along with. I am still completely shocked that Jeffery won, after the judges admitted some of his dresses were horrible. I'm sure all of the finalists will go very far and advance greatly in their careers. Good luck to all of them!

I just had a question about your view of Project Runway's season 3 winner. Do you agree with the judges about Jeffrey winning. Don't get me wrong. Jeffrey had good clothes throughtout the season. But when it gets down to Bryant Park all that matters is your collection. And his was not the best. Uli totally went out of her comfort zone and her clthes SHINED. She had the best collection and got compliments from not only the jusdges but also the audience at the runway show. It totally surprised me the way the judges talked about how great Uli's collection was and then chose Jeffrey as the winner. I understand why Laura and Michael didn't win, but why Jeffrey won. That will always be a question. Uli rocked that runway and should have be announced Project Runway's proud season 3 winner!

Hi Tim,
I think you are the glue that holds PR together! You do an absolutely fantastic job mentoring the designers. In fact there were times when you were helping, not my favorite designer, and I would think to myself....don't tell them that, they'll fix it and win, if they can't figure it out..too bad! I know, I'm not being kind but as a viewer you do get attached to the designers!
The question I have is how will Bravo address the discrepancies of items available to designers with an established business versus a designer still sewing on her Kenmore? Is it fair for the designers who don't have businesses to have to rent specialty machines that an established designer has in their workroom? Also, I'm sure established designers have access to fabrics, notions, etc at a reduced price due to developed business relationships, ie Kara Saun and her shoes. Is this fair to the designer who pays retail, doesn't have the equipment nor contacts? I believe Laura had a valid concern and it was addressed by Bravo but only as a band-aid fix. If you continue to have designers with established businesses against "home sewers" I think the problem will esculate.
I hope there are many more seasons of PR for us to enjoy!

I don't have a question, but a statement. I'm totaly disapointed with the judges choice.

I don't believe that "normal" women would wear Jeffrey's designs.

I just had to let someone know.

Adding my voice to the comments that Jeffery's win was shocking and a huge disappointment. I can see that he designs for a very specific market -- rock stars. Okay -- so what percentage of the population is that. Do Michael Kors and Nina Garcia actually expect Jeffery's designs to be sold in Macy's? Perhaps I have misunderstood the intent of this competition all along -- I thought it was looking for the next Michael Kors, apparently I was wrong.

Someone in an earlier post spoke about the editing done to manipulate the drama and the viewer's impression of the persons on reality shows. So, has anyone else noticed that we, as viewers, were shamelessly manipulated regarding Jeffery? During the season the show presented us with a thoroughly obnoxious and unlikeable character. He was shown being incredibly mean, loud, arrogant, officious -- taunting the other designers, bad-mouthing them in his individual video segments, mercilessly making fun of them. Then, suddenly, in the finale segments, we were getting an entirely different edited picture of Jeffery -- sensitive, caring, paternal -- we see him with his son, we see him crying. There is a suspicion of his having broken some rules and instead of lacing into Laura -- as he had no qualms about doing earlier in the season -- he takes the criticism quietly and we see him soulfully despondent on that little terrace -- poor, poor Jeffery, so beset! Where on earth did this come from? Did they replace bad boy Jeff with a sweet look alike? Here's my guess -- they decided before the runway show that Jeffery would win, so they quickly tried to repair his image. I feel terribly abused by the producers and editors -- and I am really not sure I will ever watch this show again.

Really, come on now. Uli should have won the competition and EVERYONE who watches this show knows it. The goal of this season's contest was to win a mentorship at Macy's. Does anyone really think that Jeffrey is going to learn anything from the Macy's program? Maybe he should have won a mentorship with Betsy Johnson because that is more like his design style. You don't reward a diabetic with an internship at Godiva! For shame Nina, Michael and Heidi. We put our trust in your hands to choose the best choice for the prize. Jeffrey and Macy's don't mix and you disappointed us all.

WHAT A FRAUD ! I love Tim and Uli, but I will never watch Runway again. It is OK for the weekly presentation of a show to be edited and manipulated for dramatic impact. But, IT IS NOT OK FOR THE FINAL RESULT TO BE MANIPULATED for whatever interests the show and its producers have ! Everyone knows, from the audience reaction at Bryant Park and even the "discussion" among the judges that Uli won. To award the winning to Jeffrey, especially after the lead-in by the judges was one of the most dishonest and revolting things I have ever seen done by a television show. Uli will be fine. She is a great designer and she will be OK. And, SHE WON. And, I love Tim, but I will never watch Runway again.

Uli did a beautiful job, as did Michael. Jeffrey's attitude in this particular instance was deplorable! it was tatamount to discrimination against anyone who was not "model-perfect"....and to boot, the design that DID win could still not be worn by many "plus-sized" women....a waist cinching belt just doesnt work (and on the thinnest of them all)! i applauded the idea of the "everyday woman" episode when it first started out, but the outcome there too was as much of a disappointment as seeing jeffrey win the whole shebang. thank you.

Everyone I know thought Jeffrey's final collection was god awful. Even assuming it was innovative (and I'll take your word for that, although I don't believe it to be true), it was ugly, ugly, ugly. That green and white striped dress aside (which was awesome), the line bore a striking similarity to the ensembles I put together when I was five, playing dress up in 1985. So congrats to Jeffrey for recreating the look of big sister's clothes on little sister circa the mid-80's. How original and daring!!!!

I know you care very much about the designers and want what’s best for them. To guide them in the right direction:
1. Will you give the first challenge to be “ Design an outfit for a working girl in a ranch in Nevada insprired by a landmark.” Just get it out of the system, for eternity.
2. So that the designers will have you pop into their lives everyday. For the final collection, give each of them your bobblehead. And design a collection called “ Japanese Evening Safari.” That should cover season 1-10. Smokey eyes too.
3. Will you please show us beautiful NYC images just like the ones in Paris.
4. Will you take them on better field trips like the cruise on Seine. Not dumpster diving in NJ. The statue of Liberty should be from NY not Paris.
5. Will you please put some inspirational artwork at Parsons Camp Sweatshop so that the designers don’t fizzle out at the end of the season. Yeah, like make exactly what’s in the luggage or what Heidi was wearing when she gives the challenges. Or hoochie outfits.
Even playing field remember?
6. Will you tell the judges to gather around and tell Heidi not to say “I would wear everything you make”. Duh. That’s what you are getting.
7. Will you ask Bravo to get more guest judges. The designers can predict the taste level, expensive looking, what Heidi wants to wear, don’t bore Nina outfits to show at OFW.

Wow…Carry On. Make it work and Don’t bore the fans for season 4. I,m now verlempt.

Jeffrey's designs I thought were ugly, and just atrocious. I don't know alot of women that are into that rock star style. Also some of the out-fits I see Heidi wear on the show are not cute either. Although Heidi is absolutely fabulous. As for Nina and Mr. Michael Kors I don't think you guys are completely fair when it comes to judging.

Laura's clothes were elegant, and well made, Uli's were fun and wearable, Michael's were sometimes great and other times missed the boat. Jeffrey's were obviously not for middle America. They were what I call trash clothes. They have a short shelf life. That means you throw them away after you wear them about three times.

Hi, Tim,
I have been a fan of Project Runway for all three seasons. I was a big fan of Nick V. last season and Kayne and Michael this season. I must be a jinx, as my favorites seem to start strong and then lose their touch toward the end!
I always look for the encouraging, protective person in a room, and you are that person to the designers. I can see that you really want them to succeed. Do you keep in touch with them after they leave?
I have always wanted to get one of the My Scene Barbies that featured Nick V.'s design. I don't think they were released to our part of the country.
My seven year old has been keeping a design pad for a year now, and she is actually very good, but we live in North Dakota. How can she start her career if that is what she continues to want to pursue after high school? Does she have to move to New York or LA to attend a school of design in order to make it in the business?
I would love to see Uli, Michael, Kayne, Jeffrey, Allison, Milan, and Keith make it in the design world. They all seem to have so much creativity. I think that Vincent is on the verge of a breakdown and seems like the type of person who would come back and take revenge or something after losing. He is clinically insane and probably should be on some anti-psychotic drugs.

All of the challenges have been so fun to watch and see what everyone was going to come up with and the process of them making was so interesting, but watching them stand around in their homes and explain what they've done without getting to see them work on it made me feel like I'd missed something, and frankly I got bored watching them sit in a room and fix last minute hooks, buttons and so-forth. And it was deffinately not entertaining watching Jeffrey sit on his butt and do absolutely nothing! I would not have given it to him in a million years, because he makes things that no one in their right mind would wear! I thought the dress he made from newspaper was great! But when he came out with the yellow dress that someone threw up plaid on, I was disgusted! And it won! WHAT? Also, they ripped Kayne to shreds over his gown in the same episode and it was beautiful!

But, afterreading all these other comments, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one questioning the integrity of the judges, the editors and the entire premise of the show. Jeffrey's designs are "innovative", but as the judges often tell the designers just before they "auf" them, "there is a fine line between innovation and poor taste". I think the judges need to consistently practice what they preach! I see this choice also as a financial one- it took season 1 winner, J
