Fierce Fashion Finale

After a long road of draping, tears and fierceness, it's time to find out who will win Project Runway Season 4. Will it be smug Christian? Spastastic Jillian? Draper McDraperton?

9:02 p.m.

Christian finally admits Rami and Jillian's opinion matters. He's not wearing his trademark spike, either - has he gone unfierce? He has apparently taken a break from the "cocky, confident Christian." Whoa. This is scary. We want smug back!

9:06 p.m.

They're casting models. That's kind of new. Verdict on the models: some are good, some are bad and some are "tragic."

Christian is back. He reminds his model to "Be really skinny, don't eat."

9:10 p.m.

Jillian freak out alert. Her head hurts from casting models. Seems like more is on the way.

Commercial break! Sick of naked bluefly.com ads. Let's try advertising the clothes -- it didn't work for Abercrombie and Fitch, it ain't workin' for you. Ok? Ok.

9:15 p.m.

Dramatic music as Jillian is apparently on the phone with someone who sounds like Darth Vader. Jillian freak out imminent in 3...2...1

"I think Jillian worries too much... it's a bit annoying," - Rami. Thanks for that gem.

Consensus is that models are tired, unfed and crabby. Perhaps the loopy cheese sleeves on Jillian's black and white shirt is contributing to the collective crabbiness of the models.

9:18 p.m.

One last gatherround. Papa Gunn is close to tears. Tender moment and group hug as he tells the designers they're the best.

The blood metaphor Rami uses to describe New York City is going too far. Have you seen the people of New York? Fashion does not pump through their veins.

9:20 p.m.

Jillian's famous last words: "I can handle it."

Christian's "girls" are super late. Why are models late? All they have to do is get up and show up.

9:22 p.m.

Christian's late model finally shows up.

First sighting of Victoria "Posh" Beckham in the crowd. No Becks though. So sad.

Consensus is that Christian's family is "cute" and Rami's brother is hot.

Michael Kors is pumping up the blazer and black t-shirt with sunglasses - INDOORS - and a black scarf.

9:23 p.m.

Jillian introduces her line - some of it is turtle-esque, some Trojan influences and a few shout-outs to Fem-bots. All in all - it was cohesive and yet the pieces were individual enough. A little muted, but good balance between commercial and high fashion. Posh is confused by cheese-sleeved black-and-white shirt-tard. "Is it edible?" We all want to know.

Standouts: long black dress with corset top and pleated skirt, hooded jacket with frills and some high boots that were "fierce"

9:31 p.m.

Rami introduces his line. Lots of delicious color - Christian, take a page from his book - and some draping as expected. The first two blue pieces - a dress and a suit - were unbelievable. The fit and details were spectacular on everything. The gold mermaid dress was Oscar-worthy to say the least, and even Posh decided to take notes at that point and Michael Kors lowers his sunglasses off to take in the effect.

Standouts: blue suit, gold mermaid dress and black-and-white illusion dress that got him to the finals

9:33 p.m.

Christian thanks the crowd, his family and calls everyone "fierce." His line looks like it belongs on the runway - lots of black, but the details are show-stopping. Michael Kors and Nina Garcia seem to be blown away, and Posh seems to be already putting in her orders. It's high fashion at its best.

At times we wonder if Christian's line is too fashionista - but then again, it perfectly fits the high fashion of New York fashion week. Fashion, fashion, fashion. Christian looks like he belongs. The hats were crazy, the ruffles were ridiculous. In the words of Heidi Klum, "it was a statement."

Standouts: black blazer with detail and belt, ruffled dress with two-tone brown shading and matching belt and of course the final dress that combined thousands of feathers with glorious ruffles ... God only knows how long that must have took.

9:45 p.m.

Fierce by Klum, which sounds like a perfume - one that we think Heidi should probably market.

Neenah! Gha-seee-ah! Michael Kors has removed the sunglasses.

9:47 p.m.

As always the judges seem to contradict themselves. Color or no color. Detail or flawless effort. Pick one!

Posh seems to like Christian's a lot - she calls it "high fashion" and "stylish" - but Michael Kors reminds her that not everyone can wear what she can. So, something in size -2?

Commercial break! The suspense is killing us. Think we'll get through without a bluefly.com ad? Probably not.

Our predictions

Sara and Kelly: Christian (said in unison)

Malavika: Jillian, but only because I'm a contrarian and know Christian will win because he practically admitted it on Regis this morning.

9:54 p.m.

Text votes say Christian wins. Sara hopes he cries. "I really don't like it when people win and don't cry."

Where's Ricky when you need him?

9:55 p.m.

Jillian is out. So sad. Nee-nah Gha-see-ah looks like she might cry.

9:56 p.m.

And... the winner is Christian! He cries! Rami cries!

"I love when they cry!" - Sara

Posh might cry.

9:58 p.m.

Posh loves Christian. She's clearly trying to get him to give her free clothes. I see through you Mrs. Beckham. Papa Gunn returns to hug his little boy.

Christian "signs out." He's going on vacay and let's hope he buys a bigger apartment with $100,000.

Last word of the show: Fierce. Appropriately so.

Fierce count: 7. (Two by Heidi, the rest by Christian)

New adjective of choice: Gorge or Gorgeous
