    I loved Suede. Me and my friend cried when he got ulimitated!! i love his kiss to heaven!! suede was there to rock it and he made it soo far!! he shouldv’e stayed.Sometimes the judges are so harsh. but not heidi.

  2. Julie Says:

    I can’t stand Kenley. I think her attitude is horrible. And I also think she should’ve been eliminated for her horrible hip/hop design.

  3. Whitney Says:

    This was a hard question, seeing as I love ALL of them.
    I couldnt choose between Santino and Jay…they both made me laugh and are both great designers.

    But Kenley has such a bad attitude towards people who try to give her advice. :[
    Maybe if she just chills out, she can pull out something and win.

  4. Darlene Burt Says:

    I don’t understand tonights voting, Kindey is the worst designer that I’ve ever seen, tonight was laughable, hip hop it wasn’t, and I don’t think it was fair that Suede was voted out !!!!!!!!! Tonight was her worst, her second was that purple big sleeved dress, the model looked like Mickey Mouse. I don’t like her attitude either. I felt like punching the TV when she was in, as far as my friends and I she should have been out long ago…… what’s wrong with you people, how could you think her outfit was hip hop, it wasn’t even close. This makes me not want to watch the show anymore, is she a relative of one of the voters ? !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    OMG Kenley Collins has got to go. Her clothes are dated and ugly. The judges want to see more of her work? WHY? This girl has no taste and horrible manners. She talks about having to fight for everything. Girl please you don’t know what struggle is. Try growing up in NYC and having to fight for everything. Obviously she had as my people would say “NO HOME TRAINING”. Is this what the world has to produce? Designers with no taste and rude. At least the Christian and Santino had fashion sense. I may not have liked the attitude but I have to admit the clothes they produced were great. This girl is by far the Sanjaya of project runway. After this season I think I may pass on watching this show.

  6. Christine Says:

    I would like to see Kyorto win this season. Her garments are nicely finished and classy. Leann has come a long way also. I hope to see her be successful.

  7. amanda Says:

    i love suede! i totally screamed his name at school and everyone stared at me but i LOVE him!! he’ll get a career- i’m there for you, suedie!!!
    and kenley is SOOOOO rude. STOP TALKING BACK TO THE JUDGES!!
    if she wasnt such a hit to the show, she would have left.

  8. lara Alcantara Says:

    yea! christian!

  9. CHRIS Says:

    HATE THE ATITUDE

  10. Ms An Says:

    I LOVE Kuto (probably spelled wrong)..she was consistent all season with her talent..Kenley NO COMMENT…sorry cant resist…sorry..she is TERRIBLE..can not believe she made it so far…she did not shine until the LAST show….my gosh..

  11. katie Says:

    i don’t undertstand what happened with kenley. she was so sweet in the beginning. what happened?

  12. Andrew Says:

    omg, i love kenleys old fashion style, as she was compelled into the final three for her eccentric demenor and unique flare

  13. Genny Mendez Says:

    I think the judges are geting tired. They been on the show too long, their judgements are getting distorted. Kenley should have been gone long ago. She’s there just for entertainment. If she produces an awesome line for Bryant Park, I will be shocked.I can blow whisles around her!! How did she get on the show anyway?

  14. katharine Says:

    Kenley giggling and covering her mouth every time Joe bragged about his good taste did her no favors in courting support; it waschildish and insulting, certainly not professional, but reflected badly on her character. Peace. Out.ksm

  15. Evelyn Says:

    I admit it, I like Kenley’s designs but that’s all she ever does! 50’s pin-up girl is cute, but that’s not enough to make it to Fashion Week.

    She is sooooo rude and snobby. It’s good to be confident but not overly confident. I know for a fact she should have been kicked off a long time ago but she brings in a lot of ratings to the show! Ugh, can’t stand her… especially when she is rude to Tim. Tim Gunn is so sweet!

  16. Christian Says:

    leann is an innovator.. consructs very well,.. & so much detail..
    korto’s look is very refreshing and wearable for the average person.. a definite plus.
    kenley’s has been done already, but i must admit that i like her defensive attitude.. & she’s so darling!!

    i just can’t decide!! i wish all 3 could win!!
    best of luck! XOXO

  17. Mary Says:

    I am SO OVER Kenley. I hate her attitude, especially the way she reacts to Tim. Tim is the BEST! And he is only there to help her, but she’s just too proud to accept any kind of criticism! I can’t see her going very far with in the world with that attitude. I liked her first few items, until I realized that she couldn’t do ANYTHING ELSE. Ugh. She’s so stale, tired, and boring.

  18. Jessica Says:

    i feel like way too many people hate on kenley. everyone fails to realize that shes 21 years old and according to her she fought to get where she is now. i think its so impressive that shes gotten this far at such a young age. i also dont think her attitude is intentional, you should try being critiqued like that. the others handle it better, but perhaps shes sensitive. i think her designs are great and even though people say theyre from the 1950s, if you think about it, people my age (same as hers) would absolutely wear them. i know i would. that bridesmaids dress was incredible. ive been a fan from day one, and i think she has a great chance. and if she wins, good for her, she deserves it!

  19. barbara diglio Says:

    love the show and would love to sit in the designing room when create their clothes (i sew.) Kenley has a problem with criticism. You can not go very far in life or business if you have an attitude. Her clothes leave a lot to be desired. Leanne’s clothes are beautiful, especially that last blue gown that was created after trip to botanical gardens. Your show is great and Tim is very classy. I think a lot of youngsters will go into designing becaue of this show.

  20. Robin Says:

    There have been contestants whose attitude and personality I did not like (Santino, for example). But I admit that I liked his designs very much and therefore would have no problem if he won. If Kenley wins, my conclusion will be that Project Runway is not about finding the best designer, but rather about TV ratings and/or selecting a designer based upon some preconceived traits that have nothing to do with good design. I say this because first of all she should have gone out with the “hip hop” disaster but then they gave her yet another chance after the fish scale dress - UNBELIEVABLE. The judges wanted to keep her in for whatever reason. If she wins, I will probably never watch the show again, which is sad because it has been my favorite TV show of all time.

  21. Rachel Says:

    Do I even have to say it? Kenley has got to be the worst contestant on project runway yet. Her attitude is atrocious and she can’t use that “I grew up on an tugboat” excuse much longer. People who act like she does won’t make it in the fashion industry. And her designs! The flower inspiration challenge? Who picks a bunch of purple scaly leaves for inspiration? No one on the planet would ever wear that dress. I think Leanne is should win. She’s upbeat and I love her designs!

  22. Janine Says:

    I think Kenley is a very gifted and driven individual, I like her style, clean and classic, I think she has a huge chance of winning, I hope she does.
    As for her attitude which everyone seems to dislike, people, remember she is in a competition for her future, not to make friends, did you ever stop and think maybe it’s the other people who are not mature enough to accept her as she is.
    Creative people like artists, designers, actors are the hardest people to work with or be with, it’s their nature,
    they want perfection and step on allot of toes doing it.
    Good Luck Kenley, see you on the Runway

  23. Jiana Says:

    Hmm. If you’re listing “bad guys/bad girls” for each season, wouldn’t it be Wendy for season one rather than Jay?

  24. rachel Says:

    kenley is so annoying and rude i dont even think she deserved to win last night

  25. dee Says:

    Kenley is just mean and can’t back it up. I agree with Heidi. That was the ugliest pair of pants I have ever seen (the hip hop outfit). Kenley and her ego should have been gone long long ago. That’s why I voted for Santino. He was witty, snarky, fun, and had talent!

  26. Avery Says:

    I think people need to get over themselves and give Kenley a chance. She is a great designer, and although she doesn’t do well with criticism, she is very innovative. I love her 50’s style-it is classic and feminine.

    I think the other designers just like to cause conflict by being rude to Kenley. I was happy to see that Kenely made it to fashion week. She deserves it after all she’s been through.

  27. Halloween Says:

    Stop hating on Kenley. She is SO cute always wearing adorable little thingies in her hair and being all fun.
    I’d love to have her as a friend BECAUSE of her attitude…she actually thinks for herself and speaks up rather than all the others who just nod their heads at Tim and the judges because they’re too afraid to say anything.

    She’s got balls. And Christian from last season is a CHARACTER! he’s so cool

  28. marleigh Says:

    Kenley has a bad attitude at times, but it’s plain to see it’s from insecurity. She has talent…to be sure. She should just relax, concentrate on her work and show kindness to everyone. If she was raised on a tub boat, she didn’t have to interact much. She has a chip on her shoulder and she needs to ask herself why and figure out how to rid herself of it. Koto is wonderfully talented, however I think she’s losing confidence in herself. She needs to focus. LeeAnn is wonderfully gifted and I think might win. She is understated in her design, but things are well thought out and beautifully crafted. She should fix herself up a little bit though…her hair is hanging…she needs to project a winner!

  29. Liz Says:

    I really love Korto and Leanne. But I can’t STAND Kenley. She drives me nuts with her obnoxious laughter, her snobby attitude and her ridiculous clothing. She has no taste. Period.

    I think Leanne is going to win she is really consistent and her stuff is AWESOME! So is Korto’s work but I just prefer Leanne’s stuff. :D

  30. Nodluv Says:

    Kenley is Rude and Obnoxious. She’s a great sewer, designer NO! Constructive critisism is something that everyone in the world has to deal with, obviously she missed class that day.

  31. Elayne Says:

    Kenley is a manipulative, immature, liar! Who does not know how to listen. She acts like a “victim” and how she got to Bryant Park is a mystery. Intersting note….all other Bryant Park contestants spent time with Tim Gunn and their families. As usual it was all about Kenley. Most of all her wedding dress creation was not created from her own original thought. Michael Kors, called it! She stole that look from a recent runway show. It’s hard to believe they are letting her get away with all her games, lies and attitude. Very dissapointing.

  32. Jan Michael Says:

    I am a registered nurse.. who happens to love fashion and have been fascinated by the designers. I am having some difficulty deciding which designer is the top this season. I love LeeAnn, Jarell, Kato ( forgive me for the misspelling). I wish only the best for these tremendously talented kids!
    I made a dress for my granddaughter Amadaya based on one of the designs that LeAnn made. She is totally delighted with it and I hope to make more dresses for her.
    I would love to send each of these wonderful people some fan mail.. but doubt that I can get an address for any of them.. at any rate.. Bravo to you three! I know you will be successful in whatever you do next! I love you !

  33. lauren Says:

    kenley rules. case closed.

  34. India Says:

    Santino and Christian were the funniest people ever for being obnoxious in a good way because they were funny… Kenley is obnoxious and its not funny at all. She thinks people target her, when really she is just a brat and annoying… So yes I love to hate Kenley so much that I DVR the episodes (so i can fast forward any part where it is just her talking)

  35. Adina Says:

    Kenley ripped off her design from Alexander McQueen, no question about it.

  36. Katie Says:

    Kenley may have an attitude, but everyone does. Hers just shows the most. And yes, she can be rude, but she seems like a good person, and her designs are the only ones that I would even think of wearing. I know it’s all supposed to be high fashion, but that doesn’t mean it has to be so out there to the point where you can’t even wear it. I think Kenley does a good job of keeping those things balanced. And she realized that she was treating people badly, but imagine how much pressure she’s under! I know everyone else is under the same pressure, but at least Kenley isn’t a backstabbing, talking about you behind your back, stuck up brat! She’s a good person and deserves a little more than you people are giving her. Good luck Kenley! You are soooo awsome! I’m praying that you win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  37. fikrifayi Says:

    i just love kenley!!! she’s cool and her designs are hot!!! kenley is just like me, defensive, which is good i think and she has her own identity… keep up your good work kenley!!! love you~~~

  38. Kim Reif Says:

    I never liked Kenley she always had an attitude just because she never won a challege and I get so tired of her whinning all the time I really hope she will not be the winner of Project Runway cause she defenitly needs to grow-up and stop acting like a spoiled brat

  39. Val Says:

    I think I have figured out that they are keeping Kenley around because she is such a great “villain”. Her presence creates the dramatic tension the show needs for viewers to stay interested. The other leaders, Koto and Leeann are much more talented but their personalities are rather introverted and bland.

    They are going for the ratings, so the show is somewhat “fixed”.

  40. JulieAngelina Says:

    Jeffrey cheated on his final designs..
    I’m with Laura on this one..
    He actually makes Kenley seem palatable.

    The defense rests.

  41. Jonathan Says:

    This poll is ridiculous! First of all, who Put Jay in and not WENDY PEPPER?! Hello? The question for voting is: “Who’s your favorite bad boy/ bad girl… and then after you vote it says “who do u love to hate?” I don’t love to hate Kenely. I LOVE her despite her additude sometimes. I get her whole “i’ve had to be tough all my life, and soemtimes i come off as a bitch” thing. at least she’s responsible for what she’s said. Again we have to cut everyone some slack for being over worked and stressed out yo.

    So anyway i Love kenely, I hate that she’s sorta become this seasons person to trash talk. cause you all know you voted her as the person you’d want to hang out in the back seat with… or did we all forget that? and WENDY PEPPER is the person I love to HATE.

  42. Maggiebeth Says:

    I love Kenley, my heart is so with her, but she can be so rude and never wrong.

  43. mary Says:

    kenley is a snob and i cant stand her. I dont like her designs or her attitude to tim and everyone on the show. I hope she is finally kicked off the show, If she wins I am not sure I’m watchin’ next season
