I imagine the internet is a flutter with hoo-ha over Gretchen winning again, but gosh darn it, she deserved it. Lovely as Valerie's dress was - I loved the neck line and pockets - that stupid zipper did her in, in my opinion. You may recall my aversion to most things 80's retro (see post: A Little Help) so this shouldn't come as a surprise. I would not have been exactly outraged had Valerie took top honors. But to my sensibility, the pant suit was better. And believe me, that is a sentence I never thought I would type.
As for the rest of the crybabies (seriously, what is up this season?), there was a lot of misplaced confidence rolling down the runway. I have to hand it to AJ for being one of the few to admit his garment looked not-so-hot. Peach, of course, took the mea culpa cake. I'm still not sure what she's about design-wise, but god bless her Midwest accent. I'm just waiting for her to go to Moods or run to Paneras for a quick bite. Or is the random pluralisation of names just a Michigan thing?
Taking self-delusion to grand new heights, however, was the also semi-creepy Jason. Holy jeebus, that man would annoy the CRAP out of me in real life. He is one of those people that would make me want to quit my job if I had to work with him. Or punch him in the face. The man will never suffer from self confidence issues, that's for sure. So kick him to the curb and let him get on with his life while I watch Project Runway in peace and without the need for blood pressure medication.
