Project Runway scandal?
"Runway" Sews Up Another Scandal
Tuesday October 3 5:47 PM ET
By Gina Serpe

It's all right there in the tagline: Heidi Klum cuts, the designers sew.

Except, of course, when it seems the designers don't actually sew and instead outsource the production of their garments to hired hands, as is the allegation among contestants heading into Project Runway's third-season finale.

The accusations of cheating are the second demi-scandal to hit the catwalk this season, and were leveled at final four contestant Jeffrey Sebelia by fellow designer Laura Bennett.


Three weeks later, the foursome reconvened at Bryant Park, at which point Sebelia's collection was, in Bennett's eyes, suspiciously well made, especially considering his signature deconstructed style and the condensed amount of time he had to turn the collection around, leading her to accuse the 36-year-old of calling in extra hands, a violation of the show's rules that could lead to disqualification if proved true.

1. Tonight's show is a recap
what's his name that got kicked off would have been in the final four (probably) and from the teasers he makes that well known tonight.

I hope Michael wins.

a fan of Laura, i also like her but i think Michael is the most creative. I can totally see Laura having a line at Anne Taylor or maybe Saks.

7. I think Michael is a shoe-in, but I'd love for Laura to win.
I love Laura!

6. I TOTALLY believe it
I've not been impressed with either Jeffrey or many of his clothes.

Good for Laura -- she rocks!!! She put Jeffrey in his pl;ace several times during the series, when no one else would.
