Who ever mentioned in the course of this competition here on the blog that the producers had accidentally leaked the fact that Jeffrey won, you were right. I am stunned as I am sure many others are as well. I truly thought that Uli would win given what the judges were saying about her collection.
I guess the lesson is that you can be as nasty and cut throat to people as you want in order to achieve your goal. Jeffrey could easily have been the first person voted off the show, had Stacy not sewn her dress so poorly.
I personally don't know if I can watch another season of Project Runway.

GREAT Finale; everyone brought their A game or atleast what they thought was their A game. Michael I did expect a lil more but I still love your work and hope to wear or assist in your line someday. ULEE you should have one!!! and Laura you have inspired a lot of woman to know (including myself) that your talent never gets old, and when the oppurtunity presents itself it doesn't matter what age or circumstances TAKE IT!!! Thank You.

I can not believe Jeffrey won. Uli was robbed. ROBBED. I was a big fan of Michael before the finale, but he just didn't deliver. Laura, wow, incredible work, but I was board. Jeffrey, over budget, lacking receipts, and the same old weird, ugly thing that only appeals to a limited number of women in a limited age range. Uli. WOW. Prior to the finale I was not interested at all in seeing her collection, and I thought she didn't really deserve to be there. She won me over. SHE deserved to win. I have been addicted to this show and loving every minute of it, not always understanding the decisions made by the judges, but feeling confident that in the end the right person would win. WRONG. Seriously, not watching this ever again. What a terrible let down of a finale. And really, it doesn't help the Jeff is such a deep down mean person. Poor Uli. She was ROBBED.

I think you all picked the wrong winner Urin was far beeter than Jeffery. I to belive that Jeffery got outside help and you peolpe did not care becaause you already knew who was going to win. His collection was for a limited few. SHAME ON YOU I think you only want men to win. And Laura collection was far better than Jeffery as well. The order of winners tonight should have been. Urin,laura,micheal,jeff. That is a shmae you people picked a person who recieved help at the end. SHAME SHAME. You have lost a viewer. You are like all the rest of the reality programs all riggged.

Unbelievable! The judges tell Laura she designed an incredible collection that looks as if it is worth 3 times what she paid for the materials. Then they have the audacity to name Jeffrey, designer of all things trashy and a cheater to boot, the winner. I find it revolting that the judges equate fashion with clothes that only a woman between ages 18 and 22 would likely wear. Why can't fashion be elegant and tasteful and beautiful? When was the definition of fashion changed to mean clothes no self-respecting woman would wear except perhaps to a Halloween party? Shame on you. Laura, your clothes are amazing and any woman would be lucky to wear them.

Apparently you can send mostly cheap trampy looking stuff down that runway and that is what the judges think women should want to wear. I just don't understand.

I am confused with regard to the judging....

It was mentioned that one of the collections, Uli's," was a collection that every woman would wear/buy". Yet, she did not win. Also,Laura's collection was " exquisite and she was a perfectionist in execution." Yet, she did not win. Instead, Jeff won with a collection that a very limited group of individuals would buy or wear! What exactly are the judges looking for? An "out there" item or an "on the edge" outfit or just a bizzare collection of clothing ...are they looking for the next possible fad? Please advise.....

Tim, I want to tell you as a professional I felt the finale was correct and the most positive ever. I loved Uli and felt she was great and a grat person. I never really liked Jeffery, not at all, but he grew on me and made me look at his abilities and I just felt so happy when he won. If I had 2 months and was making a collection in a real work space and not a room in a house then that givfes one tha ability to focus. I do not get when you have 2 months, that you would go to New York and have unfinished garments. Laura, I pray God will bless her and she can be more positive. I am happy to not see her any more. Rich Snob and should ahve been cut the 1st part of the show. I felt that I would never watch your show again, Wrong you pulled it off and I can not wait until next season. I do think that Laura had no ability to create anything but the gown of an opening gala party. No imagination, no class and not a real person. Your producers made her the negative and I think that is why I started to like Jeffery was all her negative, nasty comments about someone that hs not married the bank account. You did great with Jeffery.

Ok, so I see how things work on this show... I see the message you are sending to America... Cheat, get caught, and you win!!! Jeffrey clearly cheated. I still believe he had outside help getting his line sewn, but in any event he GOT CAUGHT going over budget, and STILL won!!! No, he didn't win, he was given this title! Maybe the reason he went over budget is because he was paying off the judges! Something was going on somewhere! Laura, Michael and Uli YOU are the winners. I am a firm believer in "What goes around comes around" so Jeffrey will get his one day. The three of you will do better in life and business than he'll ever come close to.

There was nothing in Jefferey's collection that would lead one to believe he would win. Absolutely nothing. His clothes looked cheap. the only innovation was the "zipper" dress, and despite the claims by the other designers that his work was well made, it did not come through in what we saw on that runway. Uli and Laura's showing was far and above both Jefferey and Michael. There's certainly something wrong here. Bravo TV, you've lost me.

I belive that the japanese demons must have possesed the runway judges to make such a dissapointing decision. Everyone that I have talked to on the subject agrees with me in that Uli should have won. I mean she was like cinderella in that she is a nice person in general, fun, and tonight was her night. All her dresses exploded with life and she really set the standard; no one did what she did. Her music was in one word well uli, all the dresses were absolutely stunning, and there was so much variety. Jeffery on the other hand, showed dresses that didn't fit the girls, and most of them where simply slight deviations of a common outfit. They looked horrible, and reminded me of my moms old maternity dresses. It is an utter dissapointment that I cannot express with words. I sympathize for Uli.

I will NEVER watch your show again. it was a total setup and ULI got robbed out of the win. she was clearly the best. Jeff should have been kicked off long ago. Your show is nothing but a set up. this finale proves to me that there was no competition. the winner was chosen long ago. its as if you fought to find things wrong with everyone just to get jeff in. how ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE.

My friends and I felt that Uli collection was incredible. Michael Kors felt the color wasn't there, but I can tell you, I would buy and wear all of those dresses she presented. Jeffrey presented only a few items that were at best, wearable!

I was a big project runway show but I have to question its integrity. I will tell you if there is any show that is up against Project Runway that is remotely interesting, I will watch it, not Project Runway. I think tonight you lost a few viewers!

Jeffrey's schtick is so obvious. I feel like he tries too hard to portray a "punk" persona, and I'm really disappointed in the judges for choosing him.

I originally wanted Michael to win, but after seeing the runway show, I was sold on Uli. She stretched herself with some neutral/solid colors, and that tearaway cover-up and bathing suit was fierce!! I have been a loyal PR fan all three seasons, but I don't know if I have it in me to tune in for season 4... maybe they picked the "rebel" to appease upset Santino fans????

I thought his work was amazing and I was rooting for him from the beginning of the show up until now. All throughout the whole final show, all Laura did was comment on how she wanted to beat Jeffrey. By Laura commenting to Tim about his finishes, it was just a childish plea to get the upper hand over Jeffrey. On that note however, I am so glad that Jeffrey won! He deserved it and I was screaming in my family room when I heard them say Jeffrey had won. Uli would have been a close second for me, I loved her pieces! They were so original and very wearable!

What more is to say. This page wasn't available when I first signed on but my comment is under the previous blog from last week show. I typed as my feeling flowed and you should pay that blog some attention. But my critics to the other 3 Laura, Micheal, and Olie.
Laura while your colletion was smashing well put together, eye cacthing and after five ONLY. You did an absolutely smashing job, but it was a little to laura (expected). I am impressed and maybe you can get together and start an formal line with a major department store to have one of a kinds offer to those not so famous everyday people.

Olie I don't know where you are from but I can tell from what you love that it''s some where the sun shines all day. My advice to you is to network with guys that sales swimsuit and target sunshine. Your taste for color and the way you tastefully combine them are amazing. Honestly I love them as wild as they are they were great.

Micheal my love I feel in love from the preveiw commerical (with you) your clothes were suitable for this show you showed versitlity and range. You showed passion for your work and love for fashion. I can tell form what was aired of your audition tape that you wanted this dearly. You WORKED also the entire season and your collection was the best thought out idea presented. but your workmenship showed it's maturity. I saw the unperfection (if you will) in the zipper. The sems weren't pressed to hide the inperfections. yoiu stated yourself that you didn't work well with zippers you should have practice pratice pratice until you got it. But if you had a JAPENSSE SEMSTEREST (like jeffery did) you would have won. I honestly feel you will be the overall winner of PROJECT RUNWAY OFF AIR. You won the hearts and eye of both women and th women want-to-be's. There are some girls I know personally that have been doing research on you to get in contact with you. My advice to you is ( marry me) 1. Take your tiem perfect what you have and then take a small business loan. If you are afraid of loans. Open up a small hole in the wall and work your *^&#$% off. I know you will make it

I MAY HAVE SAID A LOT AND IF I WERE A JUDGE I WOULD HAVE CHOSSEN JEFFERY IF I DIDN'T KNOW AND SEE EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HAPPENED. BUT TO GIVE THE TITLE TO A DESERVING PERSON OLIE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN HOME THAT TITLE TONIGHT SHAME TO THE JUDGES FOR NOT THINKING IT OUT.

So Carry On.

Nina I do like the way you think and will start buying ELLE and last but not least MR. Kors- you are my favorite - I have always loved your clothes and could go on and on!

There is so much more that I want to say but where do I begin. first watching you show makes me happy. I work 50 plus hours as a nurse and do love fashion. I may not know all the names but work hard to buy only some of the best. I am a plus size woman-as much as I hate saying that but I certainly know how to dress. and fashion/accessories do make me happy and feel good about myself. Thank you to all for your education in fashion and entertainment. Your choice in Jeffrey's collection was very appropriate! My style is what i like to call more Sophia loren and therefore, that tells you Jeffrey is not my style but have to admit loved his collection. Well done! I am looking forward to more project runway! thanks, Michele B.

Congratulations to Jeffrey for winning. There are no boundaries for people who chose a life in recovery. While not my aesthetic, his collection held together well and the execution displayed great versatility. The audience and I responded most to Laura's work; it took my breath away, I hope someone, Saks or L & T takes her under their wing. I have never warmed to Uli's style but understand how it's tropical nature makes it ideal for cruise-wear. She is the one WalMart should be talking to. Michael was charming and his sportswear in general was very fine. His youth as a designer became evident in the Couture and the "Do Your Own Thing" last two challenges and I suspect had he not been an audience favorite, he would never have made it to Bryan Park. Some possible challenges for Season 4: 1) Go ahead and do a big woman challenge- if Gautier can do it, so can you. 2) Do a hand sewn challenge, the entire outfit must be handsewn or cut and draped. 3) Do a men's outfit. 4) Do an outift that requires a hat. 5) Do a challenge where they have to design something that can look good and be made inexpensively as respects material and fabrics. Capable of being mass produced. Inexpensive doesn't have to be as dreadful as America makes it, look at H & M.

Finally- it is a profound pleasure to see an articulate, gracious, and intelligent gentleman on the vast wasteland of television. I could watch Tim Gunn read the telephone book. His professionalism in dealing with the designers and his unfailing kindness and good humor have been a reminder to me of how to comport myself in the office with my staff. I can't imagine the show without him and if he were to choose not to appear in Season 4, I doubt I would watch.

Were the judges drunk when they chose Jeffrey to win. Laura's collection was the best. I cannot believe they chose Jeffrey's ugly non cohesive collection, the judges are only basing their choices on inovative criteria, but, they are forgetting quality of workmanship. Laura should have won, you guys are craizy. I am not watching the show anymore!

I'm sorry, but I'm disappointed that Jeffrey won. I found his work to be good, but Uli's presentation and cohesion shone through her collection. She proved to *not* be a one-note, as I was worried about. Jeff's was fine, but as you said about Laura's, his view only works for a small niche. It's a niche that I was say at least half the country doesn't find appealing. I am not trying to down Jeffrey's work, but I just felt it had less sophistication than Uli's. Michael's was a disappointment, but I am assuming with time, he will find that niche. Laura's was beautiful, but as you say, unsurprising. However, I would have voted her above his. But that is personal tastes.

To be honest, I have found this season to be a disappointment. The lack of focus on the workmanship has been missed and the amping up of drama has been annoying. I'm not sure I will be back for a fourth Season. Actually, I'm not planning on it if this pattern of drama over talent keeps occuring.

Thank you for this fantastic show. Love it since Season 1. I'm so glad you picked Jeffrey - i disliked him through much of the show as a person, but as a designer he's a clear winner to me. Rock on.

Jeffrey wowed me with the recycled material dress - its unexpected color palette and insouciant attitude - well I've never thought of myself as a punk or grunge fan, but I do know the long tradition of bohemian innovation (and so did the judges - even Catherine Malandrino). After everyone had showed their work, I kept thinking about the striped green dress. It made me HAPPY and made me think of how it felt as a child to wear something beautiful for the first time. It was so fresh. And, too, I could also see the Japanese inspiration (e.g. the couture dress - a few days after seeing it, I noted a Japanese ukioye of a stage actor in a similar vivid plaid). If you are creative, it means drawing on lots of sources of inspiration, and Jeffrey shows he is capable of that. That he is a man of sensibility.

I loved Laura's work, but got somewhat tired of it. Her critique of Jeffrey was a little too self-interested, even as she portrayed herself as a disinterested participant. The class warfare was barely concealed. Like the antique store owner loudly talking about shop-lifters when a curious but poor person dares to walk into her store. On a certain level, she dared - it was in a sense political - and she lost the "election."

The Kara Saun shoe story was far more flagrant, and if she stayed in, clearly (with the appropriate modifications) it was fine that Jeffrey did too.

I loved Uli's clothes, and in my opinion, she could just as easily have won. But Jeffrey always gives me memorable things, something that obsesses me for a few days.

Maybe in some bazaar fashion planet where woman are all twigs and have some offbeat taste but come on,really.Heidi u said yourself you would wear all of uki's designs and i am sure 90% of michaels or Laura's., us also. Truely in my city truely, workingmoms and ALL women out of 150,000 I can't see 1% of them wearing 1 of Jeffreys outfits. This was a great disservice to all of the designers it is truely not even close to what the public will buy. We are not the small percentage of high fashion Paris this is mainly middle America. I have loved this show and I have been rite thre every season and I am disgusted. I have loved Michael thus far but u were right on tonite and I do beleive Uli edged him out. Jeffrey designs for some small minority and you will not see this fashion in 90% of America so what is the point?So it can look unique in a couple fashion magazines? You know the craftsmanship wasn"t even the best. It was only the "edgiest" This just really pisssed me off. You lost ALOT of followers (regular magazine and clothing purchasers and viewers) on this one, obviously we dont matter and this show came down to your tiny little prestigous "click " viewpoint, and Heidi you made me a crazy Victorias fan, real women feeling chic, great but this s...

Well, another show I won't bother watching anymore. I've watched all 3 seasons, and will never watch another. Jeffrey wins? Are you kidding me??? The other 3 designers have it all over Jeffrey's awful messes, my 16 year old neice wouldn't even wear his trash. The only reason he stayed on the show was because he created good television. It certainly wasn't his designs. My only hope now is that he relishes his 15 minutes of fame, 'cause he doesn't have the talent for the long haul. The other 3 do, what a waste to place the win on Jeffrey.

Jeffrey only made it by default. He should have been gone after his rude display of behavior with one of the mothers. He disgraced your show. This was a nightmare and I'm never buying another Elle Magazine, I'm throwing all my Micheal Koors designs away and I never wanna see the likes of Heidi Klum again! What a sad pitty party!

Uli, I loved your designs as well and hope to get a few of your pieces. I love your colors as well as the other garments you make. I would wear them all.

This show was definitely between Jeffrey and Uli. I really thought Uli had this in the bag but I am happy either way. I would like to see what Michael has to offer in a few years and I already own outfits similar to most of what Laura has designed. That’s not meant to be personal. Obviously if I own similar outfits, I can appreciate her talent, but been there, done that.

Loved the season finale, Tim! I had faith that Jeffrey would be proven innocent and was so glad that Uli stood by him the entire time. The judges were dead on in their decision this year...while Uli's line was stunning, it wasn't quite as innovative or cohesive as Jeffery's, it didn't tell a story, and that is what the line is supposed to do, after all. I think Michael is going to have a great career in fashion one day, Laura makes beautiful clothes in her niche and Uli is going to make an absolute *fortune*, she'll probably do much better than Jeffrey much faster...but Jeffrey, under the guidelines of what PR wanted for the line, won. It's not about personalities, people, it's about the clothes!

Can't wait to see you in Season 4, Tim! I love your "big words", I use them too.

Truly the final four were filled with incredible talent, and any one of them could have won.

Uli gives a unique opportinity for women to feel beatiful as who they are, instead of feeling like they have to all look like movie stars. I love Uli__ as a person and as a designer. Oh! and you are fantastic, Tim.

I have watch Project Runaway even since the beginning of the show. I love the designer and their different points of view. However, the ruling tonight where Jeffery won was, in my opinion, not right. Jeffery if anything should have been in the top three not Laura. The top two should have been Michael and Uli. If Uli would have won that would have been fair. If Michael would have won it would have been fair, but to give the win to someone, who over the entire season has not presented anything other then hard rock is not right. This is not saying that he isn’t a talent designer. I am saying that his range is some what small. Uli collection shock even me so therefore if she would have won there would be nothing wrong. Michael range for clothing is something that many women want to wear. Jeffery is too focused on hard rock. His collection although it was wonderful should not have got him the win. I think they should do a recount.
I am designer and had hoped to be on season 4 of Project Runaway. However, the unfair ruling tonight shows me that Project Runaway is just another real show; it is not about the fashion.

I'm not sure this will even make it to anyone's eyes, but I just want to make it known that I am aghast at the results of the judges' choices tonight. Nothing added up to Jeffrey. This isn't a personal attack on Jeffrey, though he just didn't conduct himself well at any time through this whole competition, exhibiting cruelty to fellow designers, as well as Angela's mother, but his collection just didn't add up, nor did his ethics make sense. Ethics aside, his collection still didn't make sense. I have no doubt that Laura, Uli, and Michael have stellar careers ahead of them, and by above board, honest means, demonstrating ethics and humanity and I wish them all the luck in the world. I also wish Jeffrey all the luck in the world, but with the added request, that he review this whole season, closely observe his behavior, seeing himself through his son's innocent eyes, weighing his behavior against how he would want his son to see his father behave, and by doing this, walk away with a huge lesson that will impact his future positively. It is so obvious that his son and girlfriend are incredibly important to him, as they should be....and they should be worth the effort it takes to change these behaviors that are so offensive. They are indefensible. If you can do that, Jeffrey, the world can truly be your oyster! I can only hope that you have the humility required to care to consider how you are perceived by the public. I, with all sincerity, wish the best to ALL four designers. Especially the one I felt should have won, the two I felt could have won, and the one I felt should have not and who did, well, ya win some and lose some! And to Tim Gunn...as alway, you demonstrate the heart and soul of a truly wonderful and worthwhile person, well worth knowing! You are more than half the draw of the show! Can't wait to see you again soon, Tim!

Fantastic Jeff,
We all whooped for joy in our house when they announced Jeff had won. He is hot headed and irreverent but damn he is talented undeniably the finest collection of the bunch by light years.
Uli's was beautiful but i didn't think she had the 'collection' element down like Jeffrey did. Laura's had some beautiful peices but too many 'ugly' ones. Michael who i really thought would win for the first half of this series.. seemed to lose his way over the last few weeks and didn't get it together for the show. I think he has a bright future- just needs to get a point of view!
I'm thrilled for Jeff, he has come through some pretty tough times and is an example to everyone to just keep believing in yourself- and i couldn't support his bad behavior with the angela/mom debarcle, in the end he redeemed himself, being very gracious with Laura after she threatened his life and livelihood with her accusations. I thought he handled himself with great decorum.
I loved him and what an awesome birthday present for his wife- $100,000 and a snazy car... better trade that in for a family van though!!!

I, like over 40% io voters who voted ffor Michael, am dissapointed that Jeffrey won. Even Ulie was much better than Jeffrey. Although I loved your show, I thought maybe, just maybe, a designer that know what the marjority middle income people want to wear. Jeffrey's stuff definately belongs in L.A.The average professional woman, such as I am, wants comfortable, easy care, but feminine clothes. When will the fashion world learn that the bulk of the spending money is controled by us baby boomers, and every day people. We don't need the outlandish, gaudy stuff Jeffrey made. None of it was practicle for a soccer mom, a business woman or fashion conciuous lady who doesn't need to let it all hang out or "rock" her wardrow.

Michael, although yourner than the others, had a better grasp of what the average woman would want. I guess that's not fancy enough for Project Runway. What is the reason you ask for our imput, if you don't intend to listen to it. If you are going to cop out to the high falutly fashion scene, I guess I won't be watching Project Runway again.

PS Always put your wife before your child (you said on the show that you don't love *anyone* more than your little boy). Your love and bond with your wife creates the sanctuary for your child, it shapes his trust and understanding of relationships. There is no thing which has more intense influence on a child than the relationship his parents have with each other. So, keep that in mind, sweetie!

Disgusting...All I have to say is they made the wrong decision. I respect that they view Jeffrey's work as some sort of art...but at some point that art has to be worn...and sold and I don't know a woman in her right mind who would wear his clothing. He himself looks a little off and he matches his clothing...just odd to look at. I wanted Michael to win but he does need more time to grow and there is a lot of potential. I liked Laura's collection a lot. But some of it looked like Pigeon Couture,too many feathers. All in all, I respected Uli so much more after seeing her range in this collection. It was just a wacky print she had some really beautiful solids. I felt like I judged her too harshly before when she only had like 3 days to make a dress. Now that I see where she is going it makes me as a Miamian proud of her. She's great. She needs to make a men's line. I would probably wear it. I also think Michael would be good at a Men's line. I think Uli was robbed and I don't think I'll watch season 4 of Project Runway. Can we do a recount? I used to respect a lot of the panel and God knows I love my Korrs sunglasses but it makes me second-guess where fashion could go...and that's to the dogs. But congratulations Jeffrey...I can't fault you for winning even if I didn't like your collection...you obviously did something right...but please can you make a dress that fits a woman properly? Please just once. I felt like your skewed baby doll dresses make me upset. I really love your model, she's gorgeous. She was the best thing out of your collection....That's my take.

Winner here again

Third season I had no clue. Really I like each designer for different reasons. However all throughout the seasion I rooted for Uli because she reminded me of myself in a lot of ways. The real sunshine of the show had to be Uli. And yet the winner was Jeffrey, rightfully so, sadly two people could not win. Uli was right, again, second place certainly did suit her and her accomplishments. Some would say first, and I believe she should have won out of love for her and her collection. Jeffrey deserved the win. Flat out he worked very hard obviously (had the time to create extra leather pants)

Cheers to a great season, and to Uli and Jeffery who truly beat the others!

Jeffrey wins. How sad. Your show was the one that people talked about for all of the right reasons. Now it will be trahsed far and wide because you have become a mockery with this absurd finale. No help to make the collection. PLEASE!!!! Uli and Laua showed beautiful collection. Michael though not at his best tonight, we know what he is capable of. Jeffrey - trash, hooker, rocker wannabe designer wins? Shame on you PR. You have lost a lot of fans and your show will end up where others have - in the Reality TV Garbage, where it belongs. I will miss you, Tim.

I don't know what the judges were looking for, BUT Jeffery's line of clothing are not for the everyday woman. I just dont get it! Uli collection was fabulous, I ciould actually see myself in her clothes. Although Michael is still my favorite...he is too young yet. He is still looking for"himself" . Laura's collection was great also. I am so dissapointed tonight.....Uli was truly robbed!

I have been truly disgusted with Jeffrey's attitude and mouth all season long that his being named the winner has left me feeling ill. I realize that this has nothing to do with fashion but I think that it does send the wrong message to any young impressionable viewers of Project Runway - apparently it's OK to be a complete jerk and disrespectful- you can still win!! I think a disclaimer of some sort regarding his personality and lack of class is needed here and that I and perhaps others need reminding that we need to get past the fact that we cannot stand him as a person and that we need to view him as a designer first(?). My choice was Laura - a true class act that can design for women "of a certain age" as well as those somewhat younger. You go girl!!!

I have to say that over the course of the season Michael became my favorite, until the last few challenges. Uli was always a favorite, and Jeffrey always put such a strong point out that it was never easy to dismiss him. As far as the question of if he received help, I can't recall him ever pinning or glueing cloths onto his models, and in some cases was the first done with what he was doing (he won those challenges, incidentally). That this level or work was within his scope is indisputable, imho.
Having lived in Vegas, part of my sieve for any clothes is, "If you walk into a casino wearing it would anyone confuse you for staff." Laura's line could almost be a showgirl line, alas. Just my not-so-humble opinion.
Honestly, watching the last moments before the annoucement, I could have just as easily flipped a coin to see who I would have chosed to win between Uli and Jeffrey. I only envy the judges their lifestyels, not their jobs.

Congradulations to Jeffrey...YEAH!!!!!!! He was the most creative in my opinion even if his designs were somewhat geared towards the younger age group..Uli had some great stuff too but it was all the same ol same ol, tie dyed peasant dresses, and Laura had nothing but the same crap she always wore as her boring black funneral dresses..and of couse everyone wanted Micheal to win..but with what, a line of WHITE sports clothes? I'm really happy Jefffrey one this!!!!

I'm so disappointed about the final outcome of project runway. After such a wonderful 3rd season it seems like such a shame to give in to the obvious and choose a winner that caused the most trouble, did the most backstabbing to all of his collegues and lacked the most basic level of human integrity. Why Tim? Why Michael? Why Nina? Why Heidi? Why did you choose Jeffery? Were you all that jaded by the "bad boy" attitude. OR was it a ratings issue? Is a bad attitude and above average designs what it takes to make it in the fashion world? Why not go against the grain and choose the designer based on character and design - why not Uli? Her work was on par with Jeffery if not better. Her runway collection was consistant...every piece not just he first 11 all 12. Also, her work throughout the season according to the judges ratings was on par with Jeffery so why give in to the common reality TV show choice? Tim, where is the integrity you so passionately spoke about in the Project Runway reunion show?

As for wearability-Uli's outfits were so beautiful. Every episode her dresses seem to be just ok until the model puts them on and they come to life with movement and beautiful draping. It's so interesting to see her piece things together spontaneously.Some of Uli's print blending rubbed off on Micheal-but he just didn't have the flow. They leopard prints seemed so overconstructed while Ulis seem so effortless and light.

Lauras lace dresses were beautiful and classic. The feathers were a bit much though. She really tried to keep it youthful and the chartreuse belt was gourgeous pop on the runway.

The only dress of Jeff's that I would see as being wearable and interesting was the zipper dress finale. The collection worked and was innovative but each individual piece was not as strong as Uli's pieces. He won because they all tied together. But you can bet everyone on this website is bidding on Ulis dresses and that should show who can make a dress that is desirable.

Tim you are awesome. But I totally disagree with the judges regarding Jeffery's win. And it sounds like (albeit I may be reading between the lines) that deep down you agree with me...that Uli should have won. Her designs were beautiful and WEARABLE. The judges concurred that women would love to wear Uli's clothes. So true! So when is that a bad thing?
I was more impressed with Jeffrey's stuff in the show than any he produced all season...but his clothes would not appeal to as large a market as Uli's. Is that the secret? Keep your designs just edgy enough to be considered 'innovative' and only semi-commercial? I predict we'll see more of Uli than Jeffrey. And by the way...I think everyone is lucky at Project Runway to have your sensibility and style available to them. Bravo! (no pun intended).

Uli's items where nice but they were not made for anyone that has a figure. I really don't think Jeffery should have won - I did not see anything that normal everyday people could wear. Well I guess we can always hope for a better turn out next season.

I am so disappointed in Project Runway. Although a person can cheat his way to the top (Jeffrey), by having outside help Project Runway will still congradulate and uphold bad and illegal behavior. My true feeling is Michael's collection was too sexy, although he is my favorite. But, Uli should have definitely won hands down. What part of the show did you not see, I watched it clearly on my wedge screen t.v. This will be my last season with Project Runway I will not recommend anyone to view this show, because of unfairness. Clearly, Jeffrey cheated!!!!!!!!

I didn't like much about Jeffrey's personality throughout the show (Laura putting him on the spot really helped him in this regard), but his couture dress really caught my eye, and it was the same direction that I saw in his collection. Innovation is the key word in understanding why he won. I think he and Uli are really a toss-up: Jeffrey's designs in their own way come from left field, yet are believably wearable, while Uli's presents an optimistic view that may be more welcomed by today's customer. I would've voted for Uli, but both of them achieved a great deal with their collections. Great season - thanks Tim!

I disagree strongly with the viewers who feel that the most popular clothing -- that which appeals to the most customers -- is the most fashionable. If that were the case, fashion would be nothing more than loose-fitting sweatshirts and jeans.

Am I happy that he's turned his life around and all of that? Of course! But reality is, the pompous, pretentious judges seem to be more interested in being avant-garde than being effective. And if one looked at the body of work, his point of view actually is also very one-note. Yes, his pieces look different but they appeal to a very narrow client base.

Booooooo! (raspberries all around!)

Jeffrey had one wonderful dress - his striped zippered dress, and a couple other interesting looks. He had some BOMBS in my opinion, and I don't just mean the long blue dress. Granted his asthetic is not mine, but pah - lease! Laura's dresses were lovely - all of them. Some favorites of mine were the final dress Camilla wore and the long black dress with feather accents. That fabric was wonderful! Did she have one bomb? Not that I saw, and none that was acknowleged by the judges as they did Jeffrey's. Uli's line was beautiful, also. I loved most of her designs with one or two feeling a bit lukewarm for me. Michael's line was very appealing. His white bathing suit was, in his words "nasty", I loved it! The dress and bag his Project Runway model wore was beautiful, as was the short stappy orange print dress. Model selection was right on for Michael. To me, the entries that I liked the least, those that I found boring, or unattractive were all part of Jeffrey's line. The majority of people who Jeffrey's line appeals to, are going to Mommy and Daddy to get their clothing allowance. The overall message seems to be nice guys finish last. Of course in this case it would be nice clothes finish last. Maybe every participant needs to know that your target age is 16. I was disappointed in the outcome of season 3. Can you tell?

Plus the crop top sweater with suspenders? Please, that's not innovative. It's that same tired look that's been going on for years with pants (a la Michaels Jet set pants) Then the 2 hideous blue dresses... PLUS over budget??? and the whole receipt issue? Duh, he could have paid one of his regular seamstresses under the table to sew the whole damn collection!! I think he has some talent, but I really don't think he deserved to win. My favorite Michael didn't either, but his collection was not as horrid as the judges made out.... Uli's was really the most unexpected. although I felt like I saw the same dress 4 times....Booo!!

Although I loved Uli's collection, I feel that Jeffrey was the obvious winner. Remember the judges were looking at it from a high fashion stance and Jeffrey brings the innovations that the major designers bring to the world. Uli was beautiful and wearable, as well as the other two, but Jeffrey's eye has the potential to change the way we think about clothes--and that is what fashion is.

Well thank you Project Runway for allowing me the decision NEVER!!! to watch your show again. As far as Jeffrey goes, when I got a glimpse of his collection, the 1st thing I said was he got help on that collection. I sew so it is easy to see how someone can try & foll the judges. He did not need part of the 8K to get people to do that kind of work for him. He went from a haphazard designer to a collection that screamed he did not do it. I was hoping that Michael would win but his clothes were lacking substance. He will come to light. Uli was the biggest surprise to what she could do, her collection was wonderful & she was ROBBED!!! How you could disgard her & give that over bearing, pompous, self centered & angry man the top prize is beyond my imagination. You just lost a faithful viewer.

Yes, Uli's collection was wonderful and she'll get picked up by a designer immediately and be fine, as will Michael. And Laura's collection (which was my personal favorite) will impress someone enough to allow her to keep designing if she wants to. It's just a tv program to us viewers ......remember?

Laura's was very beautiful, but once again same ol' thing. Michael, he just dropped the ball. He was excellent in the competitions, but just OK in the finale. Jeffrey went over budget on wigs, just accessories. Not on his clothing. Wigs gone, under budget. And it doesn't affect his collection. No receipt for bubble shorts, gone. (Thank goodness, they were weird) He had a look for every occasion. He has been doing his business for years, of course, he can sew. Hell, I can sew when I have time. Big difference making a gown with 24 hours of work and making a gown with a average of 5 days. (60 days / 12 looks = 5 days each) Did the right person win??? I think so. So, congratulations Jeffrey.

OK, I'm done. This was the last straw. Tim, I know Jeffrey is innovative, but isn't the basis of all fashion it's wearability? It's appeal to us, the purchasing public?
I saw Michael's story through his collection, and yet had to agree with the judges. He is young and needs to mature.
Laura's collection was, in a word, stunning. Wow. As a sewer, I know full well what it took to do what she accomplished, and pregnant, no less! I do have to concede, though, that the judges may be right when they say they were not surprised.
Uli's collection didn't surprise me either, but it encompassed all the things great fashion design should: versatility, innovation, and wearability. Her clothes just looked fabulous.
Jeffrey's collection made no cohesive sense to me. Perhaps if he had chosen a broader colour range, or things were less "deconstructed." It struck me like some modern music; dischordant, jagged, and mostly just noise. There was no beauty to it, especially when compared to the other collections.
Michael Kors said at one point that they kept getting "Gwen Stefani" from Jeffrey. His collection was just a mess. Put it next to Laura's and you have a kindergartener on a primary-colored xylophone beside a stringed symphony. There was just no comparison and no excuse for this decision from the judges. Uli I could accept, Laura I would applaud -- but this was just a travesty. I think that this is it for me and Project Runway. It's just not worth it to watch when such beautiful design is shoved aside to glorify such a mess.

I will say Jeffrey's clothes are not for everyone. But is this not true of most fashion that comes down the runway? Jeffrey's work was the most inspired, the most creative and of all the contestant's designs, I found myself wanting his clothing for myself week after week. He deserved to win hands down. Laura's clothing was so dated and done. You would look like an old lady wearing her pieces. Uli was a close second and I enjoyed her collection but it didn't compare in scope to Jeffrey's. Michael fell short but he was the least experienced so I'm not super surprised.

All in all I agree wholeheartedly with the Judges for a change!

I realize Jeffrey should be admired for overcoming his addictions.However, in spite of that, from what I saw these past few weeks (at least from the editing standpoint),I think Jeffrey is a rude, crude,vulgar, enabled human being who could use a lesson in manners if he expects to survive in "mainstream" fashion. I thought his collection was not attractive. I have no earthly idea what the judges were thinking.

Can you click your heels together, say Hoochie 3 times and end up in Paris Hilton's closet. That's where his collection belongs. Jeffrey winning restored my faith in this show after season 2's disaster.

I was impressed with all the collections, and I don't think Jeffrey cheated. I trust Tim to figure it out. However...

I can NOT believe Jeffrey won. He's the definition of a Wannabe - and let's look at what he wants to be: a pseudo fashionista willing to bow to any trend no matter how fugly, redundant or whorish looking. Let's see Heidi wear one of those outfits and see where she ends up -- the back page of Us Magazine on the "Worst Dressed" list. The polka dots and the clown stripes? Skinny jeans that have come already and can't be gone fast enough? How is that "innovative"?

Michael's bold attempt at an all-white collection, interspersed with colors and one albeit loud print was more aesthetically pleasing, even if the judges found it immature. At least he can tell fugly!

And Laura with her long-reaching collection. While it may have been nightwear, it spanned generations, and always maintained its sense of sophistication. Every single piece was sophisticated, and wouldn't EMBARRASS any woman who wore them, which can't be said for Jeffrey.

Meanwhile, Uli
