Heres a story from nymag.com with all the drama on Projects Runways account of why Gretchen won the upcoming designers reality show all hosted by the very entertaining and debonair Tim Gunn
.
During the early part of Project Runway's surprisingly stellar eighth season, contestant mentor Tim Gunn would post candid YouTube postscripts to each episode; so candid, in fact, that Gunn eventually took them down for fear of offending his higher-ups. Now that the season is done — and the outcome, with Gretchen Jones winning over fan favorite Mondo Guerra, among the most controversial in Project Runway history — nothing's holding Gunn back anymore, and he voiced his displeasure with the decision during a recent Kate Spade event in Pennsylvania. In fact, he says, Heidi Klum enlisted him in an attempt to cast a tiebreaker vote when she and Jessica Simpson couldn't prevail over Gretchen lovers Michael Kors and Nina Garcia.
Watch [Below] as Gunn works the stage like a consummate stand-up, dissing the influence of the finale's guest judge ("Nobody mentioned Jessica Simpson"), revealing a rift between him and Klum ("I heard Heidi was very upset about [his comment calling the judges crack smokers]"), and calling out the ultimate futility of debating Kors and Garcia ("Nina and Michael are smoking enough for all of us"). Still, as he eventually acquiesces, "Mondo will do fabulously anyway, and Gretchen really needs the money."
We were Team Mondo but in the end Gretchen followed the comments of the runway judges and took home to $100,000 prize.
Second place is better then nothing right?
