Do You Agree With the Three Project Runway Finalists?

Spoiler alert! The last episodes of Project Runway gave a glimpse into the real lives of the finalists. Tim pays visits to their hometowns, where they've been working on their final collections for a month. Learning the roots of the designers is cool; seeing their work spaces, their surroundings, their family, their friends. And Tim really shines as their mentor. Aw. The challenge was to create a wedding dress — oh, and a last-minute bridesmaid dress — and the results were eye opening. It really showed who had a vision. I was a bit disappointed in Korto's — does any woman want to wear beige on her wedding day? — and was blown away by Leanne's. Kenley got the quick insult of her dress resembling Alexander McQueen's Fall collection (it's so true). And Jerell's adorned gown missed the mark. It's crunch time people. Do you agree with the final three? Or did someone prematurely get auf'd?

    I don't really like Kenley, but I agree that her designs for that last challenge were better than Jerrell's by far, and his collection looked weird. I think the final three are the right three.

    I thought Kenley's and LeAnne's wedding and BM dresses were amazing!!! Korto's and Jerrell's, not so much. I think the reason they let Korto go on is that they think she has more potential and/or ability than Jerrell.

    Kenley has such a bad attitude and one look. She did do a better job than Jerell though. Korto's dresses were awful but over all she's been better than Jerrell too. She just seems so 'I'm so much better than everyone' all of the time. I'm betting Leanne ftw!

    Despite the fact that I think Kenley is a snot, her wedding dress/collection looked a lot better than Jerrel's. Once I saw her and Leanne's dresses, I knew they'd both be in. It came down to Korto and Jerrel and I think they made the right choice.

    As much as I dislike her, I really loved Kenley's designs! sorry to say but I thought that the person who should have made it was Jerell. He's such a great designer!

    KENLEY SHOULD HAVE GONE!

    Her "painted" dress was a rip-off of Balenciaga and her wedding dress was a blatant rip-off of McQueen. I thought they were supposed to be originals. Actually, in general, a lot of her dresses have been similar to Balenciaga. It's hard to believe her now when she says she doesn't pay attention to fashion. Really? Or is that your way of trying to deflect away from the fact that you seem to copy?

    Korto shoulda been Auf'ed. I thought Jerrel was a shoe in for the final three for most of the season! Couldn't believe he didn't make it.
    And I know everyone hates Kenly, and yes she was really rude to Tim and Heidi, but I still like her for some reason and I'm glad she made it.

    I hate Kenley. no bones about it. That said, based on the jobs done at the show+ strength of their collections, they were right for Jerrell to go home. Korto will show better.

    I really disliked Kenley the entire time, but when I saw her dresses I knew she had to stay. I like Jerrell's concept, I just don't think it was executed properly. Too bad, b/c I loved him during the season.

    I really thought Jerrel was in over Korto. Jerrel's just a bit more exciting and Korto...eh. Her bridal wear was just not cute. The color was horrible!

    I dunno. I can not stand Kenley but she did a good job this last time. But she's pretty much a one trick pony. I like Jerrell's style as well as Korto and Leanne. I'm rooting for Korto!!!

    Jerrell should have been guaranteed a spot at BP last week for winning the last challenge.

    Kenley's collection is better than Jerrell's BUT her entire collection is one big knockoff: Balenciaga, McQueen, D&G...

    I'm pretty sure Leanne's will win- it is all original, all her, and all beautiful.

    kenley should have never made it this far. She should have been kicked off before making a collection. She bombed several of the last challenges. Someone loves her and is bending all the rules to get her to the final 3. It's like this extra challenge was just thrown in to give them an excuse to keep her.

    This season of Runway has been filled with overt manipulation by the producers, last week Jerrell not getting an automatic ticket to Bryant Park due to his win is an example of the show making "personality" and "drama" higher on the list than fairness. Hell I'll go even further Suede getting sent home over Kenley in the "music challange" when his outfit was head and shoulders above hers was clear production sabotage! If the producters are using questionable execution and too much sparkles as a reason to send Jerrell home then he should have went home long ago because challenge he's been doing that from basically day one.

    If anything they should have let all 4 of them go to Bryant Park, because lets face it Korto had "stinkers" two weeks in a row but overall her work has been good, Leanne has done great work but hasn't really stepped out of her comforts zone, and Keneley has skills when it comes to execution but a bad attitude towards the judges/Tim and keeps cranking out the same 50's/40's looks regardless of what the challenge!

    Did anyone catch a glimpse of the dresses that Jerrell for his collection when Tim went to visit him at his studio? There was a BEAUTIFUL gold one with an asymmetrical bust line that I loved. I think his other pieces were definitely much better than Korto's. Technically speaking though, Korto does make a better garment than Jerrell. Kenley annoys me but I do love her stuff. Either way, I will still be watching on Weds!

    While I thought Kenley did well in last night's challenge, the final three should be about the collective portfolio of work and Kenley was the weakest link there. And she has a bad attitude to boot!

    I really do not like Kenley's attitude. She's rude and abrasive and then blaims it on what seems to be a wonderful childhood (though one cannot judge these things from reality television alone). But, I have to say her dresses were great and I applaud PR for judging on talent (not the keeping her on for entertainment part - you know they did!!). With that said, I think that Jerrell's had more imagination and excitement then Korto's Sad

    i like how they said that korto's wedding dress and BM dress had nothing to do with each other... and kenley's did? how on earth was that blue number a brides maids dress? that's a cocktail dress if i ever saw one.

    I agree with rmur because when i saw kenley's wedding dress and her bridesmaid dress, they weren't cohesive. Although i don't like Kenley, for her being so rude and disrespectful, her designs are interesting and Jarrell shouldn't have used that gray at the bottom, it did make it look pretty dirty. But he is talented

    I may be the only one who actually likes Kenley. She does have a bad attitude sometimes, but I think in the last episode she checked herself. I LOVE her designs, and even though, yeah, her wedding dress did look like something out the Alexander McQueen collection, so what? People have been doing big billowy tulle forever. Its not like she stole an original idea. I think (hope) either Leanne or Kenley will win.

    Kenley should have gone home a while ago....absolutely cannot stand what she brings to the show (drama and attitude!) She has not consistently been original or one of the best and I really do believe its producers keeping her on....such a disgrace.

    And def best line of the night go's to Jerrell with "If you want a basic white tee you can get that from Michael Kors." hahaha

    I hate to say that I agree with this final three -- I really wanted it to be Jerell rather than Kenley, but his wedding and bridesmaid dresses really didn't measure up. I think it was fair. I liked many of his choices over Kenley's throughout the season, but it's true his clothes looked sloppy and there were times I questioned his taste level.

    From the beginning of the season I knew (or at least hoped) that Leanne and Korto would be at the top.. but I also thought Kelli would be there and Wesley too (ha, that judgement was so premature, but I still would like to see what he would have done the rest of the season)...

    definitely agree - love Leanne and Korto, and even though I can't stand Kenley, she has an amazing point of view and I love her style - while Jerrel had some good ideas, his POV was never very solid or all that spectacular - I'm rooting for Korto though! even though I think Leanne will probably win...

    Jerrell's point of view has been the same since the first episode he's a little over the top,opulent and "blingy" and that's what he made last night. He was current and Fashion forward, and Kenley regardless of the challange stayed retro and her dress last night was a little to clost to Mcqueens however her executions throughout the show has been great with the exception of the pants she made for Leanne which should have sent her home.

    If we are talking just about last nights looks Korto should have went home that's hard for me to say because she's one of my favorites. Her Bridesmaid dress was the same color as the wedding dress and that is a NO NO there can only be one bride and if the bride is wearing red then no one else should!

    I didn't like any of the bride dresses but loved Kenley's bridesmaid dress. Kenley reminds me of a female version of Santino and, oh gosh, his name has slipped my mind (the tatoo guy from LA).
    I think her attitude shows she is a fighter but she does need to learn to take constructive criticism from the experts. I would ask if she were a guy would she be treated badly?

    I thought Leanne's was too much of the same stuff she shows all the time and I didn't like the wave action at all. Hated the other two gowns. Kenley's was the least ugly.

    I have a lot of opinions today but I'm going to say them anyway.
    With the sneak peak of the lines, I was not impressed with Korto's, Jerrell's or Leanne's, did we see that much of Kenley's? I thought the wedding dress was the feature of Tim's visit with her.

    Kenley should be out! Her designed are not original and she has no respect for others. Her bridesmaid dress was beautiful, but that's the only thing she's made on the show that is/was. I guess she just got lucky. Poor Jarrell, the bust on his wedding dress was dreadful and such a poor choice of color!

    F**K Bravo, they let this show go down the sh*tter. its such a shame. It was RIDICULOUS that Jerell even had to compete for a spot at Bryant Park. He won that last challenge and by the rules of the competition that should have guaranteed him a spot.

    sigh. one of the only two reality shows that i watch and i'm so disapointed.

    Korto should have gone home
    while jerrel's dress last nice was bad, kortos was worse.
    her dress lacked design, focus, and an over all vision.
    jerell always does something fab

    When I saw the runway shows (all five of the designers had shows) I seriously thought that Jerell, Korto, and Leanne's was amazing and Kenley and that creepy guy's clothes were more joke than actual work. Jerell's wedding dress was bad, but the rest of his line was gorgeous!

    mommie, you're talking about Jeffrey.

    I haven't seen the whole episode yet so I dunno what their collections look like. I must agree with bastylefilegirl about the manipulation of the producer's on this season. Just because there wouldn't have been "drama" if Kenley did leave doesn't mean it wouldn't have been a good show. I think it might actually have been ::gasp:: about the fashion!!! Plus, they were still a bunch of characters left that were I dunno actually kind of funny. So this whole need for drama is a load of crap.

    true. I just hope she doesnt win. I didnt really want Christian to win and he did, I totally didnt want Jeffery to win and he did... because Bravo's all about the drama, Kenley will probably win. Sad
