A fierce victory

Last Wednesday night at 11pm marked the end of yet another stitching season of Bravo TV's Project Runway. This year's group had to have been far the fiercest competition yet.


I never could have told you who was going to win. I could have speculated in the beginning, picked out my bet, and even if they won every challenge of the competition i probably still would have been wrong in the end. I think that's why so many people watch Bravo's competition shows.

Recap to prove: First there was underdog Jay McCarrol coming out over super-star Kara Saun, and the malitious momma who was Wendy Pepper a la season 1. Then there was Chloe Dao, the boring (in my oppinon) pattern maker win over the eccentric Santino Rice and cutting edge newbie Daniel Vosovic - that no one expected in season 2. And season 3 was host to four finalists from witch the judges (Victoria's Secret supermodel Heidi Klum, Elle Magazine fashion director Nina Garcia, and legendary designer Michael Kors) chose the rebelious Jeffery Sebilia out of the pool to win over German gone Miami beach Uli Herzner, chic hip-hopper Michael Knight, and New York City's own red-headed baby-boomer Laura Bennet. When it comes to the winners there really is no pattern.

This season, the final three contestants left to present their very own 12-peice collection at the prestigious Bryant Park tents at New York fashion week were Jillian Lewis, Rami Kashou, and winner, Christian Siriano.

Why it was collectively, AWESOME:
1. Posh Spice was a judge.
2. Christian won.
3. All of the collections were actually good.
4. Rami did NOT win.
5. Tim Gunn announced he is running for office in the 2008 election. (I wish)

In sum, Project Runway is a good show, and it ended well.
