Of course, you're watching the "Project Runway" finale, right?
My position right now, at the first commercial break: Anybody but Laura!
At the second break: We've seen Jeffrey's show and Uli's. Both very nice, but I'd give the edge to Jeffrey. What do I know? I thought there were nice details, interesting jackets. Uli had of lot of flowy, sheer things that had some nice color and print.
At the third break: I'm so annoyed at Laura for putting Jeffrey through the wringer, accusing him of cheating, that it's hard for me to be fair. But I will say I liked her first dress, or was it just that I loved the very long, straight red hair on the model? Anyway, too many ooky black feathers. Plus, did I say I don't like her? Michael. Everybody loves Michael, but that stuff looked kind of badly made and the styles seemed way too trashy. I didn't get the color at all.
At the fourth break: Based on the things the judges said, I think it's between Jeffrey and Uli, and I've got a feeling that the emphasis on Jeffrey's going $200 over budget means they're going to draw attention to that as a key deciding factor. I think Uli won it.
The home viewers picked Michael!
The judgment: Michael is eliminated first... and summarily. Second out is Laura: "too limited for us." So it is between Jeffrey and Uli. Jeffrey won!

I know this is totally corny but I almost cried watching it. I was so excited for them. They have not announced the "placements" and all of them have presented their collections.
During the entire season of course Michael was so sweet and nice.
But I have to go with Uli tonight.
Why anybody but Laura?
i agree that jeffrey put together an interesting collection but laura's collection had an elegance missing from the others'
but what gives with these models --what a dangerously emaciated group--
much more so than the models during the previous episodes.
Totally different commentors here--cool!
I'm just going to listen.
I'm so glad Laura didn't win. She reminded me of people who have stabbed me in the back before. I could not believe it when she said "I wasn't questioning your integrity."
In the end, though, my wife and I agreed that Uli and, possibly Michael, will end up making more money. From comments made, I wouldn't even be surprised if a chain like Target or Mervyns already want a deal with Uli.
i'm quite upset that jeffrey won--his designs did not have the vaunted "point of view" the judges seemed to want.
and how in blazes does michael kors judge color and "flashiness" while wearing those dark sun glasses which probably block a significant range of the color spectrum?
I agree with blue and caroline. Jeffrey had a couple of cute outfits, but, ugh, a lot of his taste is just offputting and creepy, like his personality. I don't understand the judges love affair with him. And of course his illegals were doing the work for him. As though there would be receipts for that!
Uli and Laura for me. I loved several of Laura's evening gowns and Uli's flowing looks. They both had gorgeous detail in their hems.
The audience clapped for Laura the way they didn't for anyone else. Obviously they were quite impressed by her work. I wish she had understood she needed more range.
Uli's was the best, Laura's next. Too bad Tim Gunn sort of discouraged Laura from the experimentation she was trying when he went to visit her. Otherwise she might have won. Michael's was too hoochie, but it did look a lot better on the models than it did on the hangers.
I'm like a broken record here, but I think the judges by default favor the assholey enfant terrible every season. Just churn out some forced, wacky designs, and it's "oh so innovative!" ...all the other crap you do is forgiven.
I thought Jeffrey's green striped dress was brilliant, but the rest of his collection, not so much-- and definitely not as flattering and aesthetically pleasing as Uli or Laura's.
Oh well.
I think I am begining to understand why the fashion week winner is going to be more of the high-design-who-wears-that-stuff? variety.
Where Uli and Laura did indeed design clothes that women want to buy (and will buy), the clothes by le enfant provide inspiration, buzz, and excitement. It's a rarified crowd to whom that appeals, but I suspect this is true.
Note that the WalMart guy looked at Michael's entire season as a winner. He'll find work, too.
I found Laura's efforts to disqualify Jeffrey the upperclass equivalent of a neck tattoo and berating someone's Mom, even though he did deserve some penance.
Hmmm I guess I am in the minority on this blog - Laura's clothes, although very wearable, did not bring ONE NEW THING to fashion week. In fact, most of her designs had a lot of recycled elements from her challenges. The contest is to the the HOT NEW DESIGNER not to make nice clothes. Jeffrey had the most consistency in show - there was a flow from piece to piece and he created a line that was innovated, well made and doesn't look like you could buy it at Target - that is the point.
My biggest peeve at Laura "I never wanted Jeffrey eliminated from the show" whatever. Ugh, rude.
I gotta say, Laura, where does get off saying she didn't question Jeffery's integrety?
While watching the last runway sequence, it was a tie between Jeffery and Uli. I liked Uli's "non-print" pieces, but in the end had to give the nod to Jeffery because he pushed the envelope a little further...
I don't understand how Jeffrey could've won. The extent of my non-understanding led to this.
Ann, it's all your fault -- I never even heard of Project Runway before you started doing recaps. (Note that I give you credit right up front!)
