A woman is going to win "Project Runway"Last night, Bravo aired part one of the Project Runway season finale. The final four (Korto, Jerell, Kenley and Leanne) were working hard on their collections in their hometowns when Tim Gunn stopped by to pay them visits and, of course, offer his critiques. Korto plays with her drum partner for Tim and her friends This season is a little different, as the four finalists had to construct a wedding gown as part of their collection, something no one was excited about. Arriving back in New York for the final week of preparation, Tim told them they also would have to design a bridesmaid's dress to accompany the bridal gown, and that was what they would be judged on to find out who would be Aufed and which final three would be showing at Bryant Park. From left to right: Kenley, Leanne, Korto, Jerell Poor Jerell, the lonely only guy was let go based on his overdone bridal gown and shoddy bridesmaid's dress, leaving Korto, Kenley and Leanne to compete at Fashion Week for the chance to win Project Runway's wonderful prizes.Leanne shows off her bridal gown In the past four seasons, there has only been one female winner, Season 2’s Chloe Dao. Each previous finale has included at least one male (quite often two), so Season 5 is an anomaly of sorts. Korto, Kenley and Leanne all have very distinct styles that will make it difficult on the judges in next week's conclusion. Who will win? Will it be Leanne, Portland's architecturally inclined designer of chic wear; Korto from Arkansas, who brings her African influences into beautifully constructed garments; or Kenley from Brooklyn, the woman everyone loves to hate but can still somehow pull off a cute and wearable dress?

Go Korto!
I must admit that Jerrel was my original pick but since his recent elimination, I'm now for my second choice, Korto. I absolutely lover her work. I hope she gets it. Go girl!
And I feel it necessary to say that I think Kenley is a giant duche. That is all.
Korto or Leanne
I hated that Jerrell had to get eliminated last night--he was such a cutie and was the best representative of the gay men this season (plus, I actually thought Korto's design was worse). Three of the five seasons of Project Runway have had a gay man among the finalists, so it was sad not to see that trend continue.
That said, it has to be between Leanne and Korto now...it has to be. Kenley cannot win. Anyone who snaps back at Tim Gunn does not deserve the Project Runway title.
Personally, I'm pulling for Korto, but I'd be happy to see Leanne win as well. Just not Kenley.

Eeeee exciting! I actually
Eeeee exciting!
I actually was really excited to see Jerrell's stuff - he was so talented and successful throughout the season that I thought it was unfair he had to go.
But as for all the finalists -- LEANNE for the win! Her stuff is tooooo gorgeous. Some internet reports have said that Leanne kicked some serious butt at Fashion Week.
Thanks.
Leanne for the win!
Granted, I love Korto and Leanne both, but I've been pulling for Leanne since the beginning.
That being said, her and Korto's lines are absolutely gorgeous. While I'd be happy if either won, I'm personally rooting for Leanimal =]
Kenley...
I think Kenley gets too much crap. There is no doubt that she was occasionally a bitch, but every single one of us is at some point. (Korto certainly was on occasion). Every time she was rude to someone on the show, she clearly felt like she was being attacked. Some people are defensive because they have issues to work out! Perhaps if the other members of the show had actually talked to her about it in a civilized manner, it would not have been such an issue.
I think they played that up
I think they played that up too much - especially since Kenley is still THERE. It's not like she's the bitch that gets booted quickly. I even liked her at the beginning! BUT she was completely rude to the judges/Tim at points so that is inexcusable. Either way her clothes aren't that nice in my opinion.
wooo!
LEANIMAL ALL THE WAYYYY!
Janet: Everybody's talking about it.
Amy: About what?
Janet: How you met Lucy and lived to tell about it. They're calling you a hero, when really you're a slut.
Amy: You shut up
Janet: A gay slut.
korto or leanne korto's
korto or leanne
korto's line will probably be unexpected, leannimal expected
Kenley ~meh there's no denying she has talent and skill but I don't want her to win, solely based on her bad attitude and copying ways:
I really want Leanne to
I really want Leanne to win.
Korto is cool too.
Kenley... ugh, I want to hate her, but she made it this far for some reason, and we have to trust the judge's judgement on that :/
team leanne!
leanne ALL the way.
and i don't love to hate kenley.
i just hate kenley.
her voice makes me cringe.
she's HOT though.
but that just isn't enough.
LEANNE LEANNE LEANNE!!!!
<3 maddy boom.
"incite a revolution then go work on my tan."
leanne all the way
Korto!!
The quality of her work is the best. Week in and week out it's the best. It's really no contest to me.
Jerrel was a jerk. He was funny, but a jerk.
