My Overall Thoughts on the Project Runway Season 8 Finale

Project Runway's Season 8 Finale aired only a short time ago.
Guess what!? I was disappointed in the results.
Let's start with what Tim Gunn thought:

I agree when he says the Michael & Nina are crack smokers. ^.~
The "Wearable" Panties Gretchen Designed
Let's start with Nina:
First of all, one of Nina's defenses for Gretchen winning was, "you could find her clothes in a department store!" or something like that. How ironic is it that that is the usual excuse she uses to try and eliminate someone? Hmmm... that seems odd. Also, since when are high fashion clothes found in a department store? I'm sure you wouldn't see clothes from designers like Alexander McQueen or Versace in a department store.

And now we'll move on to Michael Kors:
Isn't he the one that said Gretchen's collection was where fashion was headed? If so, I wonder when people will start wearing panties made out of sweat pants material while walking down the street. I think most people would look absolutely ridiculous if they wore panties outside in broad daylight, and I'm sure most would easily agree with me. I've also yet to see a pair of panties go down the runway in New York. Well, up until I saw Gretchen's collection.
Mondo's Polka Dot Dress

And what was up with Michael and Nina not liking Mondo's polka dot dress? It was clearly the best of the season.

Mondo's collection was clearly the best out of the 3. In fact, it was also better than all 7 of the decoy collections as well. It was the best of all of the 10 collections produced by the Project Runway designers this season. It had color, every single piece could be worn by multiple age groups, it was just so interesting and artistic. It's probably one of my favorite collections in Project Runway history.
Andy's Pleated Dress

I thought that the judges really underrated Andy's collection too. I actually loved the head pieces in his collection. I thought that they added an interesting effect to the collection, and seemed very whimsical. Many of the pieces were elegant and beautiful, while some could just be worn while walking around on the street.

In my honest opinion the final 2 should've been Andy & Mondo, with Mondo winning. Mondo's collection was fashion forward, no matter what Nina & Michael Kors think. I'm sure Mondo will have loads of customers in the future. There'll NEVER be another designer like Mondo. I'm hoping Mondo will keep his unique sense of style, and hopefully we'll all see him in NY Fashion Week for every season of the year :D

Oh, but before I go, how about a little parting present? ;D
And look, there's a 3rd pair of panties ala Gretchen
Another Pair of Gretchen's Panties,
