Finale, Part One: The Tell Tale Heart

October 12, 2006

Page 1 | Page 2

“Do what we know you can do.” -Tim
“Do not play it safe, amaze us.” -Heidi

There’s a great section of “Sunday in the Park with George” -- and let’s call it to mind in regard to this episode. “White. A blank page or canvas.The challenge: bring order to the whole.Through design. Composition. Tension. Balance. Light. And harmony.”

They did what they could do and they amazed us. They brought all those things, just as well as I can bring the obscure musical theatre references. The exception here is the harmony. Where was the harmony? The biggest cliffhanger in Project Runway’s three-season history!

The countdown begins…
Adieu to Atlas and back home for two months of solid designing and sewing. Tim makes his visits to the designers. This is always everyone’s favorite part of the season. And always chock full of highlights:

Michael Knight’s sweet, sweet father: “Never once did I say Michael, you don’t want to do this.…”

And then, poor Tim Gunn’s priceless look when Laura’s youngest son greets him with turtle poop. And who knew Laura was married to Professor Einstein?

We get a look into Jeffrey’s troubled past and Uli’s triumph from a small town in East Germany. Ah, the American Dream.

5 Days To Runway
The designers return to New York, and Laura, you know, just heads uptown. Uli, Michael and Laura show their obvious affection for one another, but Laura does not “jump off the sofa” to greet Jeffrey.

4 Days To Runway
The racks roll to the workroom where Tim gives his notes. I’m starting to worry about Michael’s collection. Laura delivers her classic style, Uli’s less printy than usual and Jeffrey’s stuff just looks really cool. Tim collects the receipts and Jeffrey is the last to turn them in and seems to be avoiding Tim’s gaze. Am I reading into this moment?

3 Days To Runway
Jeffrey leaves the room and Laura confesses to the others that she doesn’t think Jeffrey did all his own sewing. “I really have no problem with Jeffrey, I believe it’s his designs but you don’t just pull craftsmanship like that out of your ass.” The three scour over Jeffrey’s collection and agree to confront him. Uli defends Jeffrey but admits she feels the same way. In walks …Tim? Not Jeffrey who comes in a few moments later.

The rest of the show is the Project Runway version of the Tell-Tale Heart, just as dark and tension filled as the Poe classic. Laura tells Tim of her suspicions, Tim tells Laura he’ll tell the producers and they’ll investigate, Laura tells Jeffrey she told Tim.

The next day Tim tells Jeffrey they’re investigating. Whew! Jeffrey claims, “Absolutely not.” And then his defensiveness kicks in. This is the thing about Jeffrey we’ve seen throughout the whole season, except he seems less vocal than in the past. Is it guilt? Is he just exhausted?

Tim gives Jeffrey an opportunity to come clean telling him that they’ll be looking at his receipts very carefully. This is complete “edge of your seat” stuff here. I totally needed xanax.

I don't want Jeffrey to leave, but I don't think he will. I think he just took his time and sewed better than he did when he was in a rush. Thats the way it works for mostly everyone.

Scott, kudos on a great season of commentary!

This time around, Finale-Part I actually managed to create some real drama! Last season's "13th Look" was so out-of-left-field, it was hard to take seriously. However, I have to say that I believe, after reading Nick Verreos' blog as well as The Dish, that Laura suffers a bit from the editing of this episode. I think she was justified in questioning Jeffrey's sewing of these garments, but I also feel that the producers are setting up Jeffrey for an against-all-odds victory. They had to do something to prevent the outrage that would follow from a villain like Jeffrey actually winning, and it wouldn't be credible at all for Michael of Ulli to be the antagonist, so in steps Laura. From reading the online comments, it seems to be working- everyone has forgotten how horribly rude Jeffrey has been to Laura all season (saying she should have a stroke and die?) in order to focus on how mean Laura was in this one episode. I predict Jeffrey will win, now that he's got the sympathy of the audience.

Re: Jeffrey

Dear Project Runway Judges and Personnel:


I realize that it is probably too late and that the final show may have taken place already. I am writing you this e-mail because I believe very strongly that if you do not let Jeffrey participate in the finale that the whole production has been a farce and that a true winner will not be found.

I believe that Jeffrey designed and completed all of his outfits and it is not impossible for him to complete all of them in two months. He showed that he had no problems with coming up with ideas to get started on a design. This is the hardest part of any creation/design, to figure out what you want and then just do it. Everyone else had a problem with this a side from Uli she had a lot of her designs made when Tim arrived at her home.

I have enjoyed the program very much and do believe that the final four people you have chosen to go to the finale show is correct and that it has taken a lot of hard decisions from your panel to come up with the last four designers. I believe in their talent and look forward to seeing their designs in stores in the near future, especially Jeffreys and Ulis.

If he does not get to show his designs then there should be another season where he should be given an automatic pass to the finale. I dont believe I am the only one who thinks this way, even my 9 year old thought it would be terrible if he did not get to show his designs.

It seems to me that jealousy can be a dangerous emotion and that it did get to them. I dont believe Jeffrey would stake being kicked out of the finale especially after seeking his other team mate being kicked out. I think this is a power play from Laura.

Would it be possible to have another finale? I think a grand finale would be in order where Jeffrey would have an opportunity to show his designs against the winner of the finale.

However, if this is not possible and the last show has already happened, then I think it would be a very enjoyable show to see all the winners face off with each other and have Jeffrey included with them, and have an ultimate over all winners, 3rd, 2nd, runner up, and Grand Prize winner.

I thank you in advance for you time and consideration in this matter.

How can Jeffery not show his collection when kara showed hers with the doll house shoes she didn't buy, He will get to show his collection and Jeffery will be back to his same mean and nasty self, hope he gets Laura good, How can she say to him ( you are a friend of mine ) Hell can you lie any better than that??

Shari wrote:

Laura was out to get Jefferey from the time she walked in to the suite. She knows that she can't win this on her own merits so she accuses Jefferey of cheating. What I can't understand is why? During the Jet Setter challenge Jefferey was done the first night and had no work to do the next day. His outfit was outstanding in that challenge and it was three pieces. It's not like this is the first time his "mad skills" have been displayed. I'm more inclined to think that Michael got help. When Tim was at his home he had practically no collection done, then two weeks later he's in NY and voila he has a collection. Granted his collection is crap and not at all what I expected from him. His outfits look like they belong on a stripper. And what's up with Tim Gunn asking Laura if her boy's could sew? So she can get help in her own home if her kids can sew? I frankly don't care if he did have help sewing, he is the most talented and creative of the bunch and he's been my favorite since the first episode. I'm more inclined to think that he hired help to create the collection in his showroom and worked on his runway collection himself. Regardless of the outcome on this Jefferey will have an excellent career in fashion. He ROCKS!

Rose wrote:

Laura had it in for Jeffrey when he arrived at the NY apartment, remember, she wasn't going to stand to greet him?
Than made a smart remark about whether Jeffrey was going with them when it was time to go to work. She has shown me to be a real witch, with expensive tastes. She llives in a NY city loft which is not inexpensive. She carries Louie Vuitton luggage, etc. Come on, she really wants to win and at all costs. Most of her designs have already been done, unless she comes up with something really new.
Jeffrey doesn't always have a pleasant personality, but that says nothing of his expertise in design. I don't always like what he does, but he gets his work finished with very few problems. If the others have a problem, it is jealousy. Ulli is the only sweetheart in this group of 4, but I am for Jeffrey all the way.

Lisa wrote:

It is possible for Jeffery to complete his collection with craftmanship when you are focused and have a plan in mind. He is very talented, as all of the final designers are. I would hate to see him disqualified over Laura's suspicions. I think that she is nervous and he is her competition. Laura should be ashamed of herself with the accusations about Jeffery. It's about design, it's about creativity and being fashion forward. After all, when the collection is made for mass market, I am sure that Jeffery is not going to personally sew each garment.

reese wrote:

i hope jeffrey doesn't get auf'd. i hate laura because she has one "seriously ugly" personality. i don't care who wins as long as it's not laura. i love michael, but i'm not too impressed with his collection. i think uli is a sneaky person. she stole michael's model. she instigated laura's confession about the jeffrey scandal. and sometimes, she just says the wrong things.

Allison wrote:

Actually Shari when Tim went to Michael's house to check on his collection it was 4 weeks before they got to New York not 2, and not every piece was complete.

Nancy B. wrote:

I may be in the minority in this matter,however, I think the designer's concerns regarding Jeffrey were warranted, and taking the issue directly to Jeffrey first was the right thing to do,even if he didn't recognize it.

Kari wrote:

I don't find anything wrong with Laura's concern, or accusation - however you'd like to spin it. If Jeffrey has nothing to hide, the accusation will die there. My fear is that based on Jeffrey's reaction, he did elicit help in fabricating the garments. From what I've been able to discern from his personality, as it shows on screen, he's not the type to let this kind of thing get to him of he knows he's right. I hope above hope that this isn't true - he's an incredible designer and has designed my favorite pieces throughout the series, and I've been anxoius to see what he sends down the runway. I do believe, as painful as it might be, that if it has been proven that he has taken shortcuts, he should be removed from the competition. The show is about design talent, true, but within a set of rules that everyone else has abided by. It would suck if we wasted this opportunity with a mistake that he didn't have to make. I agree with Shari, my only relief is that Jeffrey should look forward to a great career in fashion. If I had the money, I would TOTALLY buy his dresses!

Maybe in the trailer, jeffrey is relieved and uli is hugging him because hes glad that he gets to stay? bcuz i refuse to think that jeffry cheated, he is so talented, and i love the whole circus type feel you get from his collection

nadine wrote:

jeffery looked a whole lot guilty like he cheated, and it would not be right for him to show his collection if he did not sew them himself. if he is all that talented then he has nothing to worry about. and why risk being caught cheating when you have that much to loose. it would be a pity to see him go but. hey !!! every one eles had to do the work by themself, why should he get a free ride. anyone could see that jeffery was not himself he was sweating. what does that tell you!!!!!

Florence Finegan wrote:

I think Jeffrey treated people the way they have treated him. He doesn't take any crap. He's honest and people don't like that about him. They'd rather have him be socially polite. I think he's great. He says what I feel and I love that about him.
I think that initiating an investigation on him based on Laura's GUT is totally wrong and Tim and the show lost alot of credibility with me when they did that. Jeffrey is the only honest one left on this program. He would never go thru another designer's collection behind their back they way they went thru his. They should be ashamed! I hope he wins it all!!

Robin wrote:

Everyone in the final show has had thier good and bad design moments.
I personally have loved Micheal the whole time, but I am worried about what he is showing this week.I do not think that all of it is his best work. Personality wise his eye has been on the prize and he keeps things real without Drama.
Uli seems to be a caring person and tries not to hurt others feelings. She is also very genuine with her garments and only does what she feels she can be proud of. She has done a lot of the same type of patterns and styles and I do believe that we will see that out her show.
Laura has done nothing but had an opinion about EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY from the start. She is the type of person that likes to share her opinions of something with everyone else first and then she voices it to you. At least she stands face with people, but the fact that she did not go to Jeffrey first shows that she is accusing him because he makes her feel threatened. Also, being the way she is probably stems from living with almost six guys.
Last but not least; Jeffrey did not start out impressing me with his designs from the beginning. His Coutoure Gown was beautiful and from then on he showed his talent. The whole mom challenge was totally wrong.The lady stated her opinion and Jeffrey could not handle hearing it. That dress looked like a moo-moo and large people like things with curves just like small ones.
He is a total rocker/punk designer and that is great, but he does not design for the average person. The worst thing about him is his bad attitude. Life is not always good to you, but you cannot take your anger out on the people around you (even the ones that you just come across in life for a moment). Enjoy your success from choosing sobriety.

All in all, I believe the jeffrey will win out of shear talent. That is what this is about -- individual talent! He has it and needs to appreciate it a little more so the people around him will too!
Personality will not win this, but it will give him more success in his business.

Good luck to all!

i really think jeffrey should win and i hope he doesnt get auf'd. hes been my favorite since the beginning and like people have said laura has been out to get him. shes a bitch. but if he doesnt get to show his designs that sucks.thinking back to the trailer for next week with jeffrey crying, what could the reason be that hes crying other that he got kicked off, i mean i really dont want him to but why else would he be crying unless maybe they told him hed be staying and he was so happy he cried but that doesnt seem like something hed do. if he does get auf'd i still dont think he would have someone else sew for him, doesnt it seem like hed want the credit for it and think back to when keith got kicked off for having books jeffrey said he thought he deserved it so why would jeffrey get help when he thinks stuff like that is fair. i guess its possible but i still dont think he would do something like that. i dont think it'd be impossible, like laura made it sound, that he could sew that well when they had that much time.

I just want to say that I am thoroughly disgusted with the very transparent manipulation in the editing of the interactions and dialog of the final 4 designers in this installment ... and paraphrasing lovely Heidi's descriptive but firm declarations ... It all looks and sounds so CHEAP! All in the name of RATINGS...
I hope you guys will do something really exciting and run a post-finale feature on Project Runway showing the actual sequence of events leading up to the last week's grandios ending! Keep it up!

Get real, Y'all!! Jeffrey's designs are Out There! What planet is this guy from??? For most of the world, any of the other three would be fabulous options for apparel... Who the heck would wear that awning material with a bag of zippers on it??? I mean, really. Jeffrey's craftsmanship has always been half-assed, and for this to be suddenly impeccable...not fooling me.

Helen wrote:

Remember, Jeffrey owns a clothing company. Where were all
of his employees when Tim went to visit his workroom. We
all know Santino was a former employee of Jeff's. (Although
I don't think Santino would have been any help sewing!)
Jeff must have current employees and their help would have
been diguised as regular company paychecks.

wishy wrote:

I really don't think Jeffrey will be eliminated. One thing I've noticed throughout the season is that the producers like to lead you down a certain path with the clips they show. They need to hook you with some drama/excitement to keep you interested and coming back for more. They'll show certain clips taken out of context that will make you think one thing, when in fact something completely different is happening. Like in the show where the F4 were announced, it looked like Jeffrey's model was holding his hand for support as he got less than favorable feedback, but in the re-union episode, the model was in fact feeling faint and sick and he was supporting HER, not vice verse. It's little things like these that always make me skeptical about what will actually happen as opposed to what they lead you to believe in the clips for the next show. I'm only hoping that Jeffrey's bursting into tears is from relief and not from him actually being busted for cheating. More will be revealed....

Cathy wrote:

Its interesting that suddenly everyone loves Jeffery. Before he was hated and reviled as the villan of Project Runway. He made rude comments about Angela and Laura, and acted like an arrogant ass throughout the challanges.He made clothes that I wouldn't put on my dog and thought he deserved the win over everyone else.
Now after everyone learns that he has a child and had a rough childhood, its"poor Jeffery- Laura must be jealous". So if Laura wasn't rich and came from a poor background- would she be as villified as she is now?
Laura's collection was as well received by Tim as Jeffery's. In fact, you could see Jeffery getting nervous in the background as Tim reveiwed Laura's collection.
Its time everyone put the stones down and let this thing play out before they make judgements.

Tracy Taylor wrote:

Nice try Bravo, trying to build sympathy for the now sober, had dad-with-rage, rebel Jeffrey and trying to make Laura out as a bitch. What a stretch for TV...making a smart woman into a bitch. Can't wait to see Laura's collection which already looks like it will stand out as the prettiest thing to be seen in the season of "fashion ugly" that's all over the runways in NY and Milan. Jeffrey's will surely be creative and wearable for the average rock star. Even if Laura loses she'll win because so far she's the only designer professional or amatuer that is making clothes real women will actually feel great in. That goes for you too Michael Kors..just got back from trying on some of your clothes...ug pleeaase

Maybe all the OLD designers need to compete on this show !!!!!!!!!!

The next day,Thursday, after last weeks show, I again watched a rerun of the show, except this time it ends with Jeffery crying in Uli's arms. Is he gone? No, he appears on the video from the website, backstage at the final fashion show of project runway.
Shoud he win...project runway should be Auf'd. Jeffery is a lying, stealing, cheating without respect for anyone other than himself, his mohawk wearing girl friend, and a precious baby, whom I hope falls away from his father's tree as far as possible. Even if he wins the big prize he will have to spend it to replace all the people he hires to work for him when they all walk out and he re-hires and re-hires until his prize money is gone.
He has no respect for any one or any place. His mouth and temper will make him a looser. And then he will sit around and cry about all the people that done him wrong song.

Bruce Hawkins wrote:

Are we all watching the same show? I guess the beauty and success of this show is that we all have our own valid opinions.

I just love Tim and Heidi. What a great pairing. They are a great part of the show's success. And Michael Kors is always on target.

The model competition totally me. These amateur girls are second rate at best. They look ungroomed and seem to know nothing about walking on a
professional runway. Tyra and Miss J, we need you. What happened to the tall, elegant, seasoned mannequins that used to walk the runways of Seventh Avenue? Sorry, but being a model is more than playing dress up.

Why is it that when someone (especially a woman) is assertive and trying to protect the integrity of a competition they are labeled a bitch? I personally commend Laura for being observant and discerning.

I also think editing can make things on television seem far more intense than they really are. We should always be aware that more goes on behind the scenes than we know. We are only seeing the highlights. And things (dramas) are strung together for ratings.

Again, I feel Laura was totally justified in her observations. And I believe she is probably the only contestant that I feel would be able to handle the extreme pressure of running a real fashion business in New York. Her designs may seem dated and old, but in actuality, I belive her designs are the most commercially viable.

Most of the other designers are doing specialty work that would not sell in large quantities. And when we think about fashion, unfortunately, creativity is not always the bottom line. Isn't the sales volume the bottom line?

I actually love Michael and his talented, down home sweetness, but I think he would get eaten alive by some of the real hard nosed barracudas in the garment district. Love his ideas and I think he has a great potential for artistic growth considering how well he takes direction. Despite all this, I think he is very talented, faithful and perceptive. I hope he wins.

Uli's work is interesting and sophisticated, but she panders to a niche market, as does Jeffrey. I think her clothes will do really well selling in resort and vacation areas.

And I still feel Jeffery has made great strides to recover his personal life, but when he is under pressure, he seems a bit overwhelmed. I would be afraid that he wouldn't deliver or follow through with a client he didn't care for. Interesting to see him in a vulnerable position for a change. I hope this television experience sends him back to his design business with a new perspective on his own scattered and erratic behavior.

Sara wrote:

I think that Laura did what she should. As much as everyone may dislike her and think that she is a snob...she is the only one who decided to call him on it. The guys weren't considered bad when they exposed the one guy (keith?) because of his design books. Getting help sewing is no different. He admitted to Tim right there on camera that he sent a few things out to be pleated. If Jeffrey does get kicked off of the show, I can't say I'd be sorry to see him go. He's a jerk and has been through the whole episode. The sob story of being a drug addict didn't soften my opinion of him. Just be cause he is a designer doesn't mean he can be so rude to his customers...he may find that he has none left if he treats all of them the way he treated Angela's mother.

Mark N. Barker wrote:

I adore project runway. I am really worried that the finale will break my heart and that scene with Jeffery in breakdown is exactly what we all think it will be. Of course, TV being what it is, the producers could just be pulling our strings to get us to watch. Preparing us for the fall and then giving us the old "made you look"

I like Jeffery, I do not think he is lying at all. Being a computer designer I have always worked with someone who seems to do amazing and perfect work in half the time it would take me to do a lousier version of the same work. Of course they always end up thinking the same things about me... it's an artist / designer thing.

This is what I think was going down with Jeff's collection. He probably did in fact work more on his collection under better circumstances than any of the others, and he does have more ability and experience than an architect would. Maybe he had his employees put together the line he is manufacturing while he worked on his Fashion week collections. I betcha he would get a lot more work done than a mother of five under those circumstances. And two months is a lot of time for twelve pieces. We have a group that has some better time management skills than years past I think. Two of the four were effectively done when Timm came for his one month visit, and Uli was quite far along herself.

On the flip side, Jeffery is regularly a huge jerk. Even though he is one of my faves on the show, and I know he is a great guy, we all see this. And his on screen time has been constructed to look a bit suspicious.

Laura is not all that beautiful a soul though, she is an instigator, one of those people who never learned that some times it is better to keep quiet. She was always puting her two cents in during the show and it is just continuing. She's being a bit of a highschool bully with Jeffery. While I understand where she may be coming from, bringing something like that up will cause trouble, and she wouldn't have brought it up if Jeffery was her "buddy". This is my problem with the whole situation that was brought up during the p1 finale show.

cece wrote:

The fashion show was in September. The show is taped. Begging to include or exclude Jeffrey is a month too late. There were pictures of the collections and designers everywhere on the internet and in People magazine. There was even a link from the Bravo website. That being said, how else could this snippy, cut-throat season end? Season two, where are you?

The first two years, four designers also showed, but one was a decoy, with less money, no TV appearance, and no chance to win. Have they done it again through the back door? Does Jeffrey turn into the decoy? And why was this season so rushed? Two months instead of the longer (6? 7? I forget) period the first two season finalists had? No wonder they all are growling at each other.

Kimberly Reddick wrote:

Trust me....I think Jeffery is obnoxious and I would hate to see him win, but I do not think he cheated and here is why.

In the some episode can't remember which he made the comment that is too complicated I can't do that well in the time frame. Showing his reality in the timelines of the challenges.

In the Couture episode he did his entire dress by hand in the same time the others did theirs. I really didn't prefer it, but was amazed at what he got done in a short time by hand that everyone else didn't.

Thoughout the season he has prided himselves in his ability to sew better than the others.

And lastly he made a comment sometime after he made it to the finale he was going to get as much done as he could because you never know what they will throw at you fashion week. About time someone wake up.

I personally really don't want Jeffery to win, but I don't believe he cheated. And I must say after the glimses of what I have seen I am eager to see his collection. I also think it is about time some designer gets their stuff done before fashion week. I understand it is a lot to do, and I know I couldn't do it. However, most challenges they get 1 day or at most 2. That would calculate to 24 days for the finale and they get 2 months.
Though I do not like Jeffery if he has the best runway collection he deserves to win. This isn't about personalities and we like it is about the best designer. And to be truthful I would buy that zipper dress after I smacked Jeffery for being an obnoxious jerk.

Go Jeffery!

Diane wrote:

Jeffrey shouldn't be auf'd. Let's look at the timeline of the visits by Tim.. He visited Laura a month before the finale and she had most of here outfits 90% done.. Two weeks later he was in LA to visit Jeffrey. He had most but not all his outfits done.

Who got extra help? Laura had to deal with her rugrats that would make anyone crazy. I don't see how anyone could have completed that much work when Tim visited.

I think in reality, Jeffrey was much more focused. He wasn't working at home. Instead he went somewhere else where his focus was only on his design and making his outfits. Yes he probably was doing both this collection for the show and his personal business. Who says he can't design, something and not feel it's right for the show, but fits in his business collection. Thereby getting 2 things done at once.

Laura has made it clear that she doesn't like Jeffrey and that she wants him out of the competition. Period. She created doubt in the minds of the others. Michael and Uli questioned how he got so much done, but didn't push it like Laura did. It's one thing to question, it's another thing to acuse someone to the point where they may be out of the competition, the show and a chance of a lifetime.

I think he should be able to show his collection. If they want to continue an investigation that's fine. I don't think the judges should be made aware of what's going on so they can judge purely on the line.

Then freeze the winnings for a month to determine whether or not there was any wrong doing. If there was, then Jeffrey loses the win and it goes to the next in line if that's how it ends up at the finale. He still deserves the opportunityto show his work.

I think that Laura was very jealous of Jeffrey. Jeffrey has alot of talent and vision. He doesn't seem to show old and tired styles, unlike laura. Micheal also has alot of talent. He is innovative. Uli's designs were very similar every time- less thought out.
I hope this show isn't about personalities, but instead talent. Jeffrey may not be a conformist- but who needs that. People are all different and they should be able to express themselves in any way they choose. He chooses tats and dark clothing -whatever.
And as for his reactions after being accused of cheating- many individuals display feelings and show emotions in different ways. He looked as though Laura had blind-sided him. He seemed to be feeling happy and excited to be there -then suddenly out no where an accusation was made. (Put yourself in his shoes.) I don't believe that he cheated. How could anyone say anything like that when the question can be posed to them right back. Did Laura create her designs, did she sew all of her pieces or did she cheat?
Jeffrey has real talent and abilities. Something inspirational that the others don't have and can't learn.
Whatever happens, Jeffrey should show his collection. He should be the winner.

Laura wants to get jeffrey out of the competition cause she feels threaten. Her pieces are too old for a young audience. WHO WANTS TO LOOK LIKE AN OLD WOMAN??? She said it from the beginning. She wasn't excited to she jeffrey at all. I find it stupid and i think that they should let jeffrey participate cause he is a good designer. If anyone should not participate it should be Laura. Shes sneaky and she'll do anything to win. Even if it to make up stupid lies about the fellow competitors.

Patricia wrote:

I think Laura was justified in questioning. It does seem odd that Jeffrey was completely done. I think that by watching you see that the other 3 are all sewing, but Jeffrey looks bored. They should have let him go to the hotel and sleep. This isn't an endorsement for Laura, just pointing out the obviouse. This is the first year I don't know who will win and I am not enamored with any single designer.

Erinn wrote:

I just want to say that I know whatever I write will not influence anything that happens in the following episode, but I just want to say that I think all the designers are talented. There is no doubt about that, but I realize this is a competition and someone has to win abiding by all the rules. With that said, it is sad that the worst has to come out in every person when there is money or fame involved. All of you designers will have success after being seen on this show. Laura, I don't think you are a bad person, but just remember that all of your inner thoughts dont need to be spoken. Maybe Jeffery cheated, we dont know, but you don't have to be the judge of that. Sometimes you need proof before making such a damaging statement. Also, Jeffery. You have so much talent. I know you will succeed. You have obviously accomplished and overcome so much in your life, and just remember you will keep achieving if you strive to achieve. I wish everyone, Uli and MIchael as well, the best and I hope that everyone of you gets to show your talent on the runway next week. Best of luck.

I enjoy Project Runway immensely. I do have a problem with what appears to be a little bit of sadism on the part of Heidi. She appears to take pleasure in making it difficult for the designers, who are often under immense pressure to complete their projects.

Now on to Jeffrey. I feel that Jeffrey is by far the most talented of the four designers. He has been able to come up with excellent designs, that are complex and well made. I believe that he is able to focus on the project and "make it work" because he is doing this on an ongoing basis as he designs gowns, etc. for celebrities, et.al. in LA. JEFFREY SHOULD NOT BE ELIMINATED. I FEEL THAT HIS COLLECTION IS THE WINNING ONE! The final show would only be marginal without his collection.

In addition, I feel Jeffrey let us in on who he really is by showing his affection for his son and partner. By contrast, I feel Laura is very hard/callous, and that she is jealous of Jeffrey's talent and would do anything to remove him from the competition.

"Nuf Said!"

I think that Jeffery is an ass. His fashion is nothing new. It's called 1980s New York streetware. (BTW, I had a striped dress edged in zippers in the 80s that I bought at the mall, no joke.) It's not couture its crap and he deserves to lose.

He treats everyone badly and if they appear to be ahead of him in anyway he goes on the verbal attack (i.e. Michael's "vanilla" taste.) I don't feel sorry for him because he is an addict either. Everyone has their troubles in life and have bounced back to achieve some sort of success on their own. So he was a junkie and now he's shown that he has no integrity too. Now there's a deserving winner. (sarcasm off)

His behaviour after the accusation PROVES he cheated - his subdued defiance is completely out of character. And since when is it acceptable to send ANYTHING out to be constructed by someone besides the contestant? They didn't prove that Keith USED the books and he got kicked off, but Jeffery ADMITTED to having others participate in the constrution of part of his line. If Keith was removed from the competition then Jeffery needs to be removed as well.Those ARE the rules, aren't they? After all, where there's smoke there's usually fire.

Such Sturm und Drang, people! Taking all personalities out of it, it really is a matter of a) everyone following the rules so there's an even playing field, and b) the designers' talents. I don't believe there's anything in the rules that says anyone had to be likeable or charming. No points are added for being nice or taken away for being a jerk. All the drama shown is for our entertainment...it's not a part of the judging of the designers'
work. It's a matter of following the contract and rules set forth by Bravo which were agreed to and signed by all the designers. After that, it's how the designer's last challenge turned out. A certain amount of outsourcing apparently is within the rules...it's a matter of matching paperwork to back up the designer's claims. If Jeffrey followed all the rules up to and including the receipts being accurate, then his work was judged along with the other three designers for the top spot. If he didn't, then obviously since it's been shown all over the internet that he HAS shown his collection at OFW (apparently there are a lot of people who've written in who haven't the seen the photos of his collection on the runway with the other 3 designers), then it's a matter of the judges choosing among Uli, Michael and Laura who will be the winner of Season 3. Seeing how the editing of last
week's was done showing Uli, Michael and Laura turning in orderly receipts and Jeffrey having a bit of trouble getting them together to give to Tim, I think it's a foreshadowing that IF Jeffrey was eliminated, it was for not having his receipts in order (backing him up on what was outsourced and what was not), not whether or not Laura expressed her opinion that Jeffrey may have cheated.

Lighten up...it's just fashion!

I think that Laura is just a very sad, sad woman. I cannot believe that she would stoop so low. I so don't like to bash people, but dang this woman does not stop. Jeffery's outfits (each one this season) were done a ready for the runway, does her pregnancy gives her permission to rag on everyone. I have to say that someone above said that no one backed talked Kayne when he outted Keith...well here is a good reason, yeah Kayne had seen the books, so there is the proof. I think that Laura is just pure evil. Does she not remember that it took her forever to win a week...I surely don't. I am a fan of the show, I even got my husband hooked on it. I have like Jeffery from the jump, only because he was himself and not pretending to be someone else. Uli, there is something about her, I think she would do great if she did different styles. Well that was my opinion. I hope that Jeffery still shows. And as for Laura...my dear woman, you are just nasty and that is sad.

I am a great fan of reality tv. This is the first season that I've watched your show and enjoyed it very much. Season 2 of Top Chef was also a favorite of my reality shows. However, I think that Project Runway really failed reality tv by not being able to eliminate a contestant at the end of the last challenge and send someone home, therefore bringing 4 people to fashion week instead of 3. Even though we all have our favorites, someone must be eliminated at the end of each challenge. If not, the show loses credibility. It is not fair to the 3 people to have to compete with the final 4 again instead of 3. Come on you guys, please make adjustments to next season. You may believe that each of the 4 people deserve to go to fashion week, and obviously they do because they made it so far, but still someone had to lose the elimination, and you had a duty to all contestants and to the reality tv premise that someone has to go at the end of each challenge. The only reality tv show that has some rounds that are not elimination rounds is Amazing Race, and thats shared upfront that not all rounds are elimination rounds. All other shows sends someone home at the end of each challenge. Does anyone else agree?

i pretty sure jeffrey doesnt get kicked out cuz theres pics of him on the runway with a microphone at fashon week in his myspace. plus hes in the background along with is designs in the tim trailer tent thing. i dont think he cheated either. it just doesnt seem like hed do something that stupid when hes so close to winning. and the whole "jeffrey is an ass" thing, i dont think he really is. he just tells it llike it is but can be a little rude sometimes. during the mom ep. he wasnt that mean angelas mom just took what he said more personally. ok yeah he was a little rude but i didnt think it was anything to cry over. personally i think lauras worse she acts like her and jeffrey are fine during the reunion ep. cuz she defends him and says he had it harder cuz everyone elses moms didnt care what they wore. then she hates him again cuz hes her biggest competition she even said she really wanted to win if not for anything else just so jeffrey wouldnt. she also said when he came she wasnt excited to see him. his collection was better so of corse he couldnt of done it himsef (sarcasm). if ur gonna say jeffrey couldve had extra help then who says laura couldnt? seems like out of all of them she would because she works at home and has 5 kids running around. or even michael he had pretty much nothing done or even uli.

Not real fond of Jeffery because of his attitude but he does have talent. While I love the show I don't think I could take another week of looking at Laura's bare, anorexic, boney chest - does she have anything in her closet except those plunging v-neck dresses? Yuk! All of her designs (except for the black & white cocktail number) have been the same. Michael and Uli are my favorites - can't wait to see who wins.

Of all the kinds of shows I promised myself not to get hooked on...*sigh* I've become a PR fan within the past month and a half. This seasons two part finale however is just leaving me sick and not sure if I want to go through the agony of watching the end. Obviously...I'd like Jeffrey to win but with the scenes being shown for part two. It looks like that's not happening.

We all can go on about Laura and how she called Jeffrey out etc etc etc. But as someone has said. "This was all last month." Heide, Tim, and the producers are more than likely looking around for next seasons contestants. So, if there is anyone connected with the show reading this, I have two suggestions for next season.

Suggestion One: Make it so the finalists can't see each other's work. If they can't see each other's work then they have to concentrate on their own projects and keeps their noses out of other people's business. It's painfully obvious that everyone had too much time to look over each other's work. If Laura couldn't see what Jeffrey's line was like. Do you think any of this unnecessary drama would have happened?

Suggestion Two: Time crunch the finalists one final time like season two(?). Kind of like this..."Glad to have all of you back here in New York with your designs ready for the show in two days. By the way...you will need two more designs by showtime." This way the finalists aren't going to care about the competition. They will be more worried about getting another design ready to show. If this had happened for season three, Laura probably would not have had her line done.

Hopefully, someone out there is listening or reading these blog thingys for ideas and suggestions. I, for one, do not want to see this kind of drama happening to finalists again. It was uncalled for. They had survived your shows trials and challenges and all deserved to have their work shown.

Jeffrey, you are a fantastic designer. I know that you will do incredibly well long after the show as well as Michael and Uli. It's called karma, Jeffrey. Laura will eventually be on the receiving end of some "serious ugly" karma. You've got so much to look forward to in your career Jeffrey. Just let it go and keep repeating that most memorable line from the reunion show...."That was just pig."

Taylor wrote:

I know that Jeffery won't be kicked of Project Runway because there is a picture of him following his collection on the runway posted on Freep.com taken by the detroit free press. Thank God because him and Michael are the only ones with real talent anyway, and by the looks of Michael's collection, Jeffery is gonna take 1st. Uli is good but all the prints are driving me crazy! And Laura's designs look like they belong on the sale rack at Dillards.

My most important message: do not let your emotions take over your objective taste.Separate the two.
Now about the cheating. Laura has a right to have a suspision and she has a right to tell it to Tim. At least she did not do it behind Jeffrey's back ( that would be sneaky and immoral). If Jeffrey is innnocent, he will end up feeling triumphant; if he is not, he will be punished. Either way, the right thing would be done.Thus, Laura has proved Jeffrey's terrific abilities or reveiled his dishonesty. WE'll find out.
On a more emotional level, I really don't want to see Jeffrey go. I like him dispite his horrible temper or maybe because of it. I can see underlying currents in his character. Not that I like what he does, but as a psychologist I am trying to guess why he does it.I don't want Laura's doubts to be true.
On the other hand, I respect Laura for her taste, elegance and ability to present herself in the best way. I also admire her determination, after all she has to go through the hardest time, some people do not leave theis beds when pregnant. Also, she was bold enough to tell Jeffrey and take a balme on herself, though everybody agreed that Jeffrey could've cheated ( good thing Michael admitted that Laura is not the only one resposnsible).
FInally, good luck Uli and Michael, they both are great!

All 4 contestants have a briiliance in their own design tallent. Each have their own special technique and touch. If it is proven that Jeffery has had even 1 stitch sewn by another then that is an advantage the others did not have, and for Project Runway to keep having a return season then the producers must investigate any allegation just as they had to do so with Keith. My only question is does Jeffery have others that work in this business with him and how could it be proven if they helped him sew. I think that Jeffery's receipts and comments about sending items out for pleats could be a set up for a fall against Laura. I think that Jeffery has proven that he is a single minded person with the derogitory comments, childish name calling, childish remarks, toward designers but the way he treated Angela's mother and comments he said made me feel that he thinks he is above designing for the average person, alot of actors and actresses consider themselves average and the fashion world seems that it may be getting on track for the real size female, how will he design for them. Let's remember that Jeffery had more deflamatory comments during the season that the other final 3 had combined. Editors just made Laura a true honored spokesperson for the group, but she was woman enough to take a stand just as Kayne was against Keith. If the producers find out that Jeffery did have help it's better that it's found out now rather than after allowing him a show he didn't deserve and someone coming foward for their 15 minutes of fame and make everyone involved with the show become tarnished and we the audience have to suffer by losing the show or having it revamped and we lose out with new people pushing their ideas into a show that is already good.

I think that anyone with talent would have been working on their FINALE wardrobe all season. With 3 monthes you should have it done. Not whining about others being able to have more time for sewing when they are running after screaming children like Laura. I have 5 children and if they were around I would not have time to sew a button! Jeffery is a get things done type person, and used to the fast pace. Given more time to sew... He showed us all he is the Best. I WILL buy his clothes. I can pick up Laura's designs at any Vintage Clothing store anywhere in the country.

I starting watching project runway because of my daughters. They like Micheal an I agree with them. I did not want my daughters to be exposed to meanness but Micheal always showed respect to the other designer and never was negative about anyone. He always congratualated other winners. This was a great opportunity to teach my daughter of about winning and losing. Micheal taught them that you do not have to tear another person down to feel good about yourself. I want him to know to stay just that way rather he win or lose.

It surprises me that Tim would go to the producers based on something Laura said. What about Laura's collection, she had a lot done when Tim visited her. I wonder how she accomplished that much in such a short time while taking care of 5 kids in a noisy place. Jeffrey had a place to work away from home , so he certainly could have finished his collection. It takes longer to sew sequins than to topstich.

Anna wrote:

I believe Jeffery completed his line on his own.
I believe this because I just saw the BPR marathon yesturday and I payed close attention to Jeffery's way of thinking with every challenge and situation that was at hand. He is always anticipating some hidden surprise. He's forward looking and doesn't like to be caught off guard. This explains why he became outraged with Angela's mother (although to most it was not right). Recall that he said "she was setting me up to look stupid on the runway". And what did he comment about the party with the two special guests? "...It's never a f***** party!" How about the scene with Angela messing up the sewing machine? He explained to Michael, "...its a domino effect, Robert goes to his machine and Angela is on it, you go to your machine, and Robert is on it!" I beleive he is the type of person that wants to move forward without unecessary obstacles, he just doesn't like them. Notice how he reacted when Tim told them that they had use every inch of the fabric they bought, "What the F***?!". I believe he worked hard, VERY hard to complete his line because he anticipated the possibility of creating a final outfit during fashion week. When Laura confronted him about what she said to Tim, with every sentence the camera showed Jeffery and it seemed to me that Jeffery was anticipating she said good things to Tim. Then when Laura told him of her suspicion, the look on Jeffery's face was of two emotions; one, weak because of his exhaustion, and two, "what is this B**** up to?!". His reaction to Tim was not out of guilt but out of fear that he will be eliminated. He has portrayed himself (to me, at least) that he is forward looking, straight to the point, that he anticipates unforseen screw ups and that he doesn't put up with anyone's B***S***! Recall how he said to Angela, "don't look at me with those sad eyes!" when she confronted him about her mother. I know his attitude can be harsh but when you get down to it, he didn't get on PR to win the nice guy award. Throughout all of the episodes, all I saw from Jeffery was work work work. Granted not all of his designs were #1 but they were executed on time, because he always took into consideration the time alotted for each challenge. Recall what he said to Angela's mother, "in the time we have been given, I can't change this now,... I only hope the judges will like it" and off he dashed to the sewing room.
I want you to know that I spent the whole saturday watching PR for this reason alone... to observe Jeffery's behaviour and I believe that he completed his line on his own and without any help from anyone. Remember that while every other designer kept saying, "I'm goiing to win this," Jeffery kept saying "I just want to get to Bryant Park!" He is more eager to show his abilities than winning the race. He is, "I am who I am, I know what I know, I can what I can. You don't have to like it but this is who I am." I admire him for what he stands for. I believe strongly that he did it all on his own. Personally, it doesn't matter who wins, what matters is their creations.

Edge of your seat? This faux drama, which persists like a lingering cold, was wholly manufactured by the PR producers. Yes, Laura, Uli, and Michael questioned whether Jeffrey sewed his designs or outsourced them, but the situation could have been quickly resolved on camera so we could return to the REAL drama: four talented designers vying for the top spot.

This episode and teaser advertisements showing Jeffrey breaking down left a sour taste in my mouth.

The Finale, Episode One was short on fashion. I was so disappointed I didn't sit on the edge of my seat, I left it.

Michele wrote:

Did you all watch the same season that I did? Jeffrey has been an obnoxious jerk from day one. He's been rude to the other contestants (as well as their mothers) and has even put down the models. When Tim visited him his collection was finished and his "office" was a warehouse. He also said that he was working on his clothing line at the same time. He must be a miracle worker. When Tim asked for all the receipts, why was he the only one that didn't have them ready? Laura may have brought the subject up first, but Uli and Michael both agreed with her. She was the only one who had the guts to confront him. Kudos to Laura. In the previous two seasons, all the designers had work to do when they arrived in New York. Maybe he did sew the garments, but it just might be possible that he used items that were already finished for his existing clothing line.

Becky wrote:

For the first time, I think the models should be judged independently of the designers. Nazi is just head and shoulders above the other models. She has that spark a person is born with--you can't learn your true talent. I know the final is in the can, but I hope someone is listening and will take this into consideration. Anyone else feel the same?

I believe Jeffrey should be able to show his collection. Laura suffers from a lack of self-esteem, in my book. Project Runway is interesting BECAUSE of Jeffrey, besides the fact that he is one talented individual. It's too bad jealousy has to rear it's ugly head. Seems to me Project Runway is making a whole lot of money, once again, BECAUSE of Jeffrey. Hope it all turns out for the best and that he WINS!

I will be so disappointed if Jeffrey is disqualified because of someone as insecure as Laura actually accused his morals. Jeffrey tries to act like a tough guy and definately has no patience (but who would on a reality show) but I think he is a teddy bear. Laura has been intimitated by Jeffrey's talent from the beginning as I would be also as Jeffrey is very talented. As stated in one of the other comments Kara was able to show when it was documented that she tried to pull a fast one. In a two month period vs a two day period I feel Jeffrey sewed his collection. No ones talents were shown to a full extent during the challenges. But when you are not on a tight deadline as the challenges you are able to do your best work. I am certain that he was able to achieve the goal in the two month period without any outside help. Hopefully Laura will be laughed off the runway and Jeffrey will be laughing in her face when he wins.

I dont think Jeffrey is all that talented, would anyone actually wear the crap he has designed?

The previews for part two showed Jeffrey breaking down and Uli comforting him...What was that all about?
if it does prove that he cheated maybe they could let him show his line anyway but not be part of the prize consideration?
who knows? I look forward to the finale part 2.

After all the above being said, just think a bit: what is a TV-show about? Attrackting audience, creating drama, tension, editing, etc. After all, that's what makes the business going! And if not enough of that was created by the produces to keep us going, there comes Sour-Grapes Laura to create some extra drama.
I wonder if Laura noticed throughout the show Jeffrey's consistency in coming up with designs without having to bang his head against the wall....plus not having trouble executing them on time. Most of what he wanted was to be left alone and get the job done. No, I dodn't think Jeffrey cheated. And let's face it: him and Michael are the most talented ones. The main difference: Jeffrey is more mature in his work.
I really-really hope to see Jeff's collection during the Fashion's Week. Without him present there would be little competition left...
JEFFREY, WITH OR WITHOUT WINNING ON THIS SHOW, YOU'VE ALREADY EARNED YOUR PLACE IN THE SPOTLIGHT OF BEST DESIGNERS. JUST KEEP GOING!

That's Entertainment! All the attention being given to Jeffery and Laura on this blog just proves to me how we are manipulated by the producers and editors. They are of little concern to me though. I am still in awe of Michaels work. He has done evening gown, street clothes, sporting fashions, shorts, haute couture, and won two challenges. The others have not shown such diversity and creativity. His choice and use of fabrics for each challenge has been impressive. I think his line of clothing, whatever it turns out to be, will be very successful in the mainstream. As a costume designer, I'd love to have someone that diverse working for me. And he's nice guy too!

Laura has shown what the jealousy monster can turn you into! I have always loved Project Runway, but this time I hope Jeffery does get to show his line. It would be a horrible he does not. I go to classes on how to improve my sewing, and my sewing fasting. Jeffery has those sewing tips to a "T". I would love to go to his shop and learn how to sew the way he does. Jeffery sews for Rock Stars. If he did not sew quality work then he would not be able to stay in business. That is the way it is. Personally, I would not buy any of Laura's clothing because it would make me look old. I also love Michael's and Uli's clothing line. May the other 3 designs have good luck! I do not like Laura and I prayed every week Laura would have been uf'd out! That is all I am going to say! Good luck Jeffrey!

Maryclaire wrote:

I agree with all of Tina's comments. I find Laura's candor refreshing in regard to Jeffrey's perfectly executed final line. He never exhibited the kind of meticulous finishing work demonstrated by other designers on previous episodes, so how/why would that have surfaced during his 2-month at-home sabbatical? I understand that established designers never/rarely complete any garment, but Jeffrey signed onto the BPR rules as a contestant. His open arrogance and dismissive attitude to one and all only begs the question. As a recovered/reformed addict he surely must know that the addict's manipulative, deceptive personality lingers long after the substance is gone. Perhaps that got the best of him.
I root for Michael and Laura... and I want to know how to contact Laura. I would wear any of her clothes TODAY. I don't care if she wins. Thanks. MC2

Well I have been watching this program for the first time. What I have seen is that everyone has a limited time span to create there fashions. I am a person that has made a few outfits in my life span, when you have to sow fast you don't do a very good job. I am in support of Jeffrey, I think that he went home and put his nose to the grind stone. As we have seen on the last issue Michael took a month off he addmited to doing this on the last show. As for Laura she is due any day, and has 4 other sons, a mother myself i know how hard it is with just 2 boys. I also think she is jelouse of Jeffrey for he is the true designer. He has showen his talent and takes it to heart he is up an up front person, no need to lie and point fingers. He went home and worked hard probably putting in over 15 hours a day, as americans we teach with hard work you will succeed. So hence Jeffrey should win he was the only one that put his full heart into his work instead of taking time off! As for Heidi She has alot of creative talent for summer ware and will go far in summer ware. She has been the only one that hasn't pointed fingures she is a calm wind meek and mild. But it comes down to who is the most advanced and who worked hard.....that would have to be Jeffrey.

If Jeffrey gets booted before he shows on the runway, I don't think I'll be too enthused about watching the big event. Michael, my previous pick for winner, isn't doing it for me on this one. His stuff is alright, but what happened to his style? The Pam Grier and jetset outfits were really cool, but it looks like he lost it behind animal prints and sequins. I'm not much of a fan of Laura, and Uli's taking the safari theme too far instead of sticking with her awesome print-work. I really think Jeffrey can win it, but if the producers want to play "badguy" with him like they did Wendy, then I'm just giving up on the show. Not that I'm saying I liked Wendy's work, but personality and drama just shouldn't factor into it. That's what hooked me on Project Runway in the first place; focus on work and talent, and not about who hates whom.

I Really don't like Jeffrey, don't care for many of his designs and really don't like his attitude toward the other participants. That being said, I think everyone is forgetting that he looks very tired and looks like someone who did put-in the 18+ hours a day working on his line of clothing. Remember, Laura is the one who acused him of cheating. Did she or could she even begin to put-in the 18+ hours? Not being pregnant! Jeffrey should be allowed to participate, but I really think Michael will win ... or at least I hope he will win.

Reading the tripe that's been added to this board has just about put my eyes out! For the last time: Jeffrey DID SHOW his designs at Bryant Park. The fashion show took place a month ago and he, Laura, Michael, and Uli all participated. The only question that remains unanswered is: will Jeffrey be allowed to finish the Project Runway competition? Since I haven't seen the contest rules, I don't know what the stipulations are for the creation of the final line. If each designer is supposed to sew every stitch themselves, then Jeffrey disqualified himself when he admitted to sending two items out for pleating. If the practice of outsourcing negligible quantities of the line for specific finishing is permitted, then everything is cool. Do you think you have that now?

Oh, puleese! Forget about the drama! It's all about the designs. I've really enjoyed this season and can hardly wait until the finale. Actually, Michael is my favorite. I think that no matter what is requested, he gives the best show, even if his long gown didn't make the cover of Ele magazine it was still awesome. Everyone signed off on what the "rules" are so if indeed Jeffery cheated, there's only one thing to say... "Jeffrey, you're out!"

I love Michael's designs. Laura should be able to accept the fact that Jefferey made those clothes himself and had no outside help. How did she make it this far anyways? Her designs i feel are for an older genereation. her dresses are dresses I've seen in old black and white movies. Uli has a great sense of taste in clothes. I will be happy if Michael, Uli or Jefferey win. I love all of their designs.

Jeffery doesn't have 6 kids running around, with a turtle, who poops alot! of course he got done faster then laura! plus, he never had a problem with time management unlike the other three finalists. To me laura isn't original and she's very boring. sure her stuff is good but i've seen it all before in herberger's! in fact i probably have at least one dress that she has done before. jeffery is talented and if gets disqualified i will stop watching right then and there. I like uli and everything, but to me she's like laura, the same thing over and over again, and micheal he's talented but he still needs a little work.

Marjorie wrote:

I am not in the least impressed with Jeffrey's designs or the way he treats others. If he got canned from the show I would be more than happy. The fact that he went from an unfinished sewer to a finished one in two months is very suspicious and I do not trust this person to tell the truth. His designs are all so LA punk which is getting boring for fast. I do not find his designs beautiful or attractive.I believe the way a designer treats others should be judged along with their design talents. This guy is not a team player and he would have a hard time working with or for others. He needs to stay in LA and work for himself. I can't see his designs being popular in most cities. His rock n roll rags are like chaulk on the black board to my eyes. Trendy - not!

Paula wrote:

I recorded the last episode and was just able to watch it. I am so furious that the producers would allow Laura to kick the legs out from Jeffrey. She is so not about talent and all about back stabbing. Let's face it, she does nice work, in her little cocktail party world but Jeffrey is a REAL designer. The first one I've seen since the show began. He has a real vision and should be allowed to show his work. I can't believe that I have to wait two whole days to find out whether or not he was DQ'd.

The whole season was a battle of middle America versus a new creative edge. At least let the judges decide if he's the winner, not some snippy, jealous, middle aged, hormonal, classless (yes, you can dress her up but you can't take the turtle poop out of her mouth, must be taking lessons from Barbra) unethical skunk!

It seems like she devoted the entire season to bashing the competition. Very Taliban of you Laura.

This is pathetic. I do hope that the producers were just being edgy with the editing and that common sense prevailed. If not, then why have a show? How do you know that anyone did their own work? I'm on pins and needles waiting for this to culminate and I'm not getting a warm-fuzzy about it.

If I were going to be in the final grouping, I would make sure that my designs were finished too. I'm not super organized but I can whip up a design in a few hours if needed. Did you see the size of his workshop? It was a PROFESSIONAL work space. Not the spare bedroom or a corner of the living room. He is a real working designer. Use your brains. Figure it out. Please, give the prize to the winner, not the sinner.

I HOPE Jeffrey wins, the guy is amazing! Definitely the most talented of the four. Ulli is good too, I live in Miami and can appreciate her designs...it's very well done, however it's nothing I haven't seen here before.
Micheal started off well, and then his stuff went to total crap! The keyword is TACKY! No talent or imagination, just good at construction. Maybe he can get a job working for Micheal Kors sewing his crap...
Laura...I can't even believe she made it to the end. Does anyone actually like this witch?

Carrie wrote:

I know from experience that a person's work is better when given more time to complete it. Come on Jeffrey...Rock and Rule!!!!! Laura is nothing but a jealous witch. All of her clothes look alike. She hasn't shown anything unique. I think Jeffrey is the most creative on the show and I'm hoping he wins.

Cindy wrote:

Come on guys! Do you honestly think that Jeffrey is a good designer? How many of you would wear his awful rocker crap? I would not be caught dead in his clothes! And Uli? Please, she keeps me bored with her stupid print dresses. I don't like the crap she pulled with Michael and his model. I think Cain should have been in the final four instead of Jeffrey or Uli. I love Michael's clothes but I am worried about his picks for the show. I have seen the runway pics and I was not impressed with any of them to tell you the truth. I would hate to be one of the judges! I have been sewing since I was 5 years old. The drama impressed me more than the sewing. I have met arrogant people like the pregnant one and it is not easy dealing with selfish, self-centered people. Anyway, looking forward to tomorrow.

karen wrote:

Just remember what Jeffrey said about Kayne, "Who cares if Kayne gets hurt?"
Who cares about Jeffrey? Looks like Jeffrey is participating in Byrant Park. Tim and the producers listen to the designers and some of what goes on in the design room is shown on the show. We don't know the entire story, but as least the designers can speak up. Jeffrey has done it in the past so Laura is entitled to her opinion.

Katie wrote:

Laura needs to realize that when you are given two months to complete a collection, as opposed to two days, the level of craftsmanship will obviously increase dramatically. Jeffrey should be the winner of this season, and Laura should just get kicked off for plain stupidity. In this finale, it is quite obvious that Jeffery has the best collection with Laura in a very distant second. Michael and Uli dont really place because their collections are basically the same and need a lot of work. Laura only brought her suspicions to Tim Gunn after she realized that she will be coming in second, with Jeffrey being the top designer. The show will be marred forever if Jeffrey gets kicked off. And Laura will have NO creditability if she wins due to Jeffrey's dismissal.

Roxanne wrote:

I believe that Laura is the classiest designer. Her clothes are timeless. Uli is sweet and does lovely designs. Micheal is very talented and has done some gorgeous looks. Jeffrey is avante garde. If he cheated, he needs to leave. I believe Laura should win. The people who are posting here with negative thoughts about Laura and how a pregnant woman with children cannot work as hard as say Jeffrey are being biased or have never been pregnant with children. Most pregnant women with children can do things with one hand tied behind their backs. Bravo to Laura for proving that!

MJ wrote:

I may be way out in left field, but what happened to Laura's DAUGHTER? Did anyone notice the photo of Laura holding a baby girl with a bow in her hair? She has four sons, talks about expecting her sixth child, and said "I'm expecting my fifth boy in a row." So where's Number One daughter? Anybody got any ideas about this?

Adam wrote:

Thank god someone else has got some sense, so thank you Joni D. Yes, Jeffrey did show at Bryant park, but judging by his breakdown in the preview, it seems obvious that he's been disqualified from winning. I'm not a fan of Jeff's but if there's one thing to his credit, it's that the guy can sew. He was the first to finish in the "Jet-setter" episode and he made three detailed pieces. Thusly I don't think it's fair to base the accusation solely on the level of craftsmanship, or the number of pieces. I do think, however, that if so much as a single hook was done by someone else, that his integrity has been compromised. We'll see if we're right but my prediction is going to be that he was allowed to show, but was still disqualified. That in itself is a quandry of ethics that is not consistent with precident set by the Keith episode. If the rules are so black and white, then logic dictates that Jeff should not be allowed to show at Bryant park if he is, in fact, disqualified. One thing I can say about the Youtube preview of the Bryant Park show is that Jeffrey does NOT look happy, although his line was perhaps the most stunning. Of all the designers, I would say that Jeffrey best understands what it means to design a COLLECTION, and by that I mean something that posseses all the qualities of freshness, continuity, perspective, and marketability. So my pick for the win? I think Jeffrey will be disqualified, and I think that Michael and Uli have the unfortunate disadvantage of coincidentally PICKING THE SAME THEME! As the patent office will tell you, forming an idea independently does not make it unique or original. To assume as much is to demonstrate a level of obliviousness. The verdict, This one is going to Laura. Her collection does demonstrate 3 out of the 4 qualities I mentioned above and she can worry about the concept of "New" during her mentorship with Inc. Heidi's sympathy for Uli will not save her this time, and Michael failed to deliver elegance in any form. Jeffrey will flourish in the industry, notwithstanding his apparent disgrace.

I absolutely love Jeffrey! If he does not show at Bryant Park my heart will be broken for him. He had 60 days basically to do 12 complete outfits, thats 5 days per outfit. Lets think logically. During the competition he was never rushed for time, and he always showd well put together work--except maybe for the first challenge, with the lopsided dress. His couture gown was beautiful, and most of it was hand sewn, and he had a very short time to do it. My point is...with his own space and less stress and headaches to deal with, wouldnt he be accomplish more? (that and he didnt have 5 heathen children and turtle poop to clean up after) Laura walked from a stressful situation to another. Michael said he took a couple of weeks off. And Uli although I love her didnt have alot done when Tim got there. Jeff said he only slept a couple of hours a night. I think he had plenty of time to make everything perfect. I dont think he pulled "craftmanship out of his ass". I do think Laura on her best day could not accomplish that craftmanship. and by the way Laura you are no where close to being "Fabulously Glamorous"!!!!

MMP wrote:

I don't think it's fair to vilify Jeffrey.
How do we know the other 3 designers did not have outside help?
Exactly....it can't be proven so Jeffrey should not be treated as
a villian that cheated just because he was 'accused'. If he is
"investigated" the other 3 should be equally investigated as well.

Catherine Zoltan wrote:

People who steal suspect others are stealing. People who lie suspect others are lying. People who cheat suspect others are cheating. Since Laura started this witchunt on Jeffery, why isn't someone looking into Laura's activities to see who she outsourced her work too? Keep your eye on the Mountain Jeffrey, injustice always recoils on those who deal in it. Catherine

Kayla wrote:

to those who say laura is a good designer--NO SHE'S Not! She can't design anything that isn't eith plain or lost in lace! her dresses are meant for herberger's not high end retailers.
As far as jeffery goes, i would wear his clothes. and think about it people! they are given two months-- roughly 60 days for twelve garments, thats one every five days and he's a fast worker who doesn't have to clean up after 6 kids, put them to bed, wake them up, take them places, make them supper, clean up their turtles poop, and all the other countless things they need. jeffery has one kid and i'm pretty sure his girlfriend took care of him most of the time so he could work and possibly set up a life for them.

Jeffery's "attitude" is just who he is. He's hard core and he's not going to hide it for Laura's sake. And who cares about what he said to angela's mom? he said what he felt. Did any of you actually like Angela with her stupid "rosettes?"

Jonny wrote:

Ok. Jeffrey was my least favorite in the beginning of the season. Now he is my choice winner. His style is something I would never even think of wearing, but he is, in my mind, the most skilled individual of them all. If they disqualify him, I will devote more time to "FOX News", and quite seriously never watch the runway again.
Bravo - a note; If you disqualify Jeffrey, you will loose viewers. I know it's probably to late to make that call. I hope he shows, and his dreams come true. God obviously has a calling on his life.

Elli wrote:

Jeffrey is the most talented of the group. They are showing him crying but it's probably tears of relief. They are jerking your collective chain. After seeing some of the designs I would be surprised if Laura won. Her clothes are old. Not just my opinion. Michael Kors, Tim Gunn, Nina Garcia and the lady from the Wall Street Journal have all said the same thing "We've seen this before". If Jeffrey reamins in the competition Laura cannot win. And yes, I would wear Jeffrey's clothes. My mother, who is in her 70's prefers Lauras clothes though.

Connie wrote:

Wednesday - this day will go slow to find out what happens!

Some say they won't watch PR if Jeffrey loses or is eliminated? If Jeff was eliminated, it would be because they found out something that confirmed beyond a doubt that he cheated. If he loses, it's because the judges feel that someone else did better. This kind of judging is very subjective. You just have to accept that's the nature of the contest. But not to watch again because you disagree borders on adolescent immaturity. This season has been a cliff hanger and that's what makes the show so entertaining. I'm looking forward to the next one!

I have watched all the shows each season. Uli is sweet and has comfy one note stlye. Laura designs for elderly boobless women again all pretty much the same.Michael had some nice outfits seems sweet. The most creatve ,wide rangeing interesting creations were obviously Jeffrerys. (except for the fat MOM fiasco-Of course we all know this episode was edited to Portray Jeffery as rude.)
When Tim visited him at home it was obvious he is such a sweet parent. also I noticed he was very kind to other contestants (words of encouragement and hugs ,etc.) He simply made honest comments -just as the other contestants did.These reality shows are fun to watch but so manipulaed during editing one wonders how much is true reality.

I have to say that whether Jeffrey sewed his collection or not he should not win. He is very rude and disrespectful. In my opinion he is the type of person that gets far by stepping on other people. For some unseen reason people in this world are attracted to mean nasty people. I do not know why. He is a good designer, but I would like to see Uli or Michael or even Laura win. Winning this would be the American dream for Uli. Larua is very classy in her designs, Michael is very modern and casual in his designs for the most part. I am not saying I don't like Jeffrey's designs but there were some he made that I though were horrible. He has a bad attitude problem and I don't like him. I feel Laura was justifed in her feelings because Jeffrey has been rude from the start. Look how he made Angela's mother feel.

I think laura is very jealous of jeffrey. she had it out for him from the beginning. laura's style of clothes are nice and sophisticated, but thats all she knows how to make. show us something new pls!!!! I think jeffrey is a good designer, but some of the clothes he's made so far are out there! he's my least favorite. If Bravo disqualifies Jeffrey it's because they have proof that he cheated on making those clothes all on time. Jeffrey souded dishonest when they asked him if he made all those clothes. that's too.. bad for him! my favorite designer is michael. I hope he wins project runway! go..... michael!

Get real people....this is television. Yes, Jeff will be there but does he deserve it? Everyone has his/her own taste in clothing. What appeals to me (Laura), doesn't appeal to others. That's okay. I have been a fan of Michael and Laura since the beginning. I am a little disappointed in what I saw from Michael for the finale but I was expecting WOW and instead got OWW! Laura has a sense of personality that is missing from alot of women today, we got lost in the whole "I wanna be free" jeans and t-shirt and she has shown what it is like to dress as a woman again. Cudos to you Laura and I am truly hoping that you win although I do see where the hype of television is playing you as a villain and do not expect that you will. My fingers are crossed though : )

Jeffery should would win what laura did was her own jealousy and her insecurities finnally coming out. It is a pity that she is as cold hearted as they come. She has no class what so ever. All her designs are the same Timm Gunn is right she is a one note.And what is with Mike and Uli agreeing with her. If Jefferery doesn't get to show because of her nor class move . This will be the last time I will ever watch this show. If he does get to show . Because of all the trouble she caused Laura should not.

You know, Laura reminds me of this friend I used to have; a really competitive shrewd. When someone was in her way of winning, she would talk nasty about them or accuse them. Laura is her, and Laura is the one I couldn't stand from when I started watching Project Runway. I never had a good feeling about her.

Ok....so the final is tonight and I am falling off of my seat at work, waiting to see whom will be this seasons winning designer. I love Michael Knights designs and he has had the best attitude throughout the whole season. I would love to see him win. Laura would have to be my second chioce. Her glamerous and chic designs for the mature women will be a new style to grace the project runway. Uli is interesting, yet her designs are always the same.I personally cannot relate to her Florida style (me being more of a NYC kind of girl). Now Jeffery....hmmmm....I really think he did receive help on the sewing with his designs. He probably had a few Mexican's working in his "sweat shop" while he just barked orders. How the heck can anyone execute great designs like his and sew them all himself. I would have thought it was possible, if he did not brag about all the other work he did with his own line outside of Project Runways collection. Also, he never showed great sewing skills while on Project Runway, so why should we think he was the one whom sewed all of his finished garments? Though I do not doubt he put a lot of hard work into the collection, I feel other people put a lot of hard work into his collection as well. Good luck to all of the designers on their future endeavors.

I just want to stick up for Jeffrey and say that everyone has been giving this man a hard time, and I LOVE his designs. Even the one from trash was beautiful... if he is anything, he is honest, and he deserves the chance to show his fasions and have a chance at winning. Laura has just become more cranky as her pregnancy rolls on, which any woman would, but why attack Jeffrey? I like Laura, and her work as well, but it is just catty to act that way.
