Project Runway Finale Show. Spoilers

At the fifteen minute mark: They were allowed to go back to Mood to buy more material. Stanley is working against the clock; Michele is going to try to add color to her collection and is working on styling; Patricia showed a sneak preview of drawing for her collection, (I liked most of it) but Tim Gunn is still pointing out that the collection lacks cohesiveness.

I loved Patricia's creativity and her vibe. I respected Michelle's work but would never wear any if it. I was really hoping Patricia would win.

But really, who dressed Heidi in that horrible jumpsuit and jacket then forgot the eye makeup?

Demi Lovato went around without makeup to make a point that women are beautiful without it.

On Heidi, however, it almost went to such an extreme with a flat base that she might be trying to pull off some other statement.

This years contestants were interesting. Remember, this is the first time that there was a team competition, which means we really never did get to see what people's aesthetics were until the very end. We had glimmers of their potential, but that was about it.

In Patricia and Michelle's case I think they both grew during the contest. If Patricia could have had a more cohesive look, I think she would have won. Michelle won based on the cohesiveness of the look. She is a futuristic Annie Hall. I can see her look taking off with a popular sci-fi movie.

Stanley, what can I say? I don't think the team competitions helped Stanley. I think he lost his eye. Some of the dresses were fantastic, and the rest were average. In total, compared to the look of the two ladies, his look had a been there, done that feel to them.

One thing I liked this year was the high number of likable contestants. I liked all three of the finalists regardless of their style. And each seemed multi-talented...although I was very disappointed in Stanley's time management. He had weeks to work on his collection! There should not be anyone being sewn into an outfit minutes before the runway. Patricia and Michelle were definitely fresher as far as looks go. And the fact that Michelle stepped up to help Stanley speaks volumes. Past contestants would have done nothing.

I like Heidi and think she looks good in just about anything. However, the flower outfit gave me some uncomfortable 80's flashbacks!

he had so much unfinished. What was he thinking?

Michelle's things were interesting but was hoping Patricia would win. She could have introduced something new and unexpected to the fashion world. She could have even been a trendsetter. Hope she finds a niche in the industry.

It was Patricia's to lose. I think she used the show to showcase all of her talents, instead of honing in on one or two styles that could be repeated to give that appearance of cohesiveness the judges always look for.

I expect Patricia to start a line of some kind. I'm sure it will take off.
