Gretchen Jones takes home Project Runway Season 8 award

Project Runway Season 8 was a season of big surprises. The biggest surprise came in the Project Runway finale results. The judges of the Project Runway Season 8 show could not seem to agree on who they wanted to be a winner. In all likelihood, fans of the show will be debating the result for quite a when too.

'Project Runway’ into the season 8

Lifetime Network is running the eighth season of "Project Runway". There were fourteen episodes to get a winner. There was one winner out of the seventeen contestants. The episode ran an extra half hour, mostly for product placement, in order to replace "Models of the Runway".

The finale of ‘Project Runway’

The “Project Runway” finale this year began with the season recap. The "Project Runway" finale didn't really happen until after a long discussion of the season 8 "Project Runway" contestants talking about their experience that season. There had been minor model drama, but in general the “Project Runway” finale show went off relatively smoothly. Andy had a green-and-silver collection that judges instantly took him out of the competition with. The judges, though, could not agree on whether Gretchen or Mondo should be the winner. Michael and Nina loved Gretchen's 1970s casual line. They said she "had her finger on the pulse of fashion" with it. Guest judge Jessica Simpson and also the show’s host Heidi Klum, nevertheless, thought that Mondo deserved to win for his creativity and style. Gretchen ended up winning since the two against one vote always wins with judges.

All about the direction of ‘Project Runway’

The "Project Runway" finale has been easy to predict every since season 6 on Lifetime. When the show had been on Bravo TV, it appeared that the judges were making decisions depending on the actual clothes in front of them. The clothes didn't seem to matter as much in season 8 of "Project Runway." This was just like Season 6 and Season 7 were. Season 8 had a lot of people getting eliminated that had great talent. Because they weren't "good for TV" personalities, this happened. There's also too much product placement now. This had been shown with the extra half hour dedicated nearly totally to that. Season 8 of "Project Runway" showed one thing to every person watching. It isn't about the clothes anymore. Nobody is wearing anything like the "rewind" designs Gretchen came up with. There's a good chance Fashion is not going in that direction.
