Apparently, Ellen DeGeneres is Kanye West's fashion idol. Did anyone see him on The Ellen DeGeneres Show? He actually went on and on about Ellen's great style, telling all the guys in the audience, "No, but seriously, this is, like of the people that you should look at whenever you're trying to figure out how to put an outfit together, especially for guys."

Motioning to Ellen's ensemble, he added, "I would completely wear this right here."

Ellen was in stitches, and so was I.

I never thought I'd say this, but I am glad that Kenley made the final three on Project Runway—the girl won't win any personality contests, but, boy, does she know how to turn out a spectacular wedding gown.

As we saw last night, the judges chose their final three based on the wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses that the designers created, and Jerell failed miserably, fashioning a wedding gown that Michael Kors dismissed as garish and a bridesmaid dress that Nina Garcia called mumsy.

Korto's busy wedding gown wasn't much better, and her bridesmaid dress was rather plain. But Jerell's designs were a true disaster. So while I had rooted for him all along, I had to agree that it was his time to go.

Leannepr Leanne's sculptural wedding gown was stunning. Kors said it was chic, and beautifully crafted. Meanwhile, her bridesmaid dress was pretty and contemporary.

But it was Kenley who stunned the judges—and me, too—with her gorgeous wedding gown. Kors said it was romantic without being superior, and he said her flirty bridesmaid dress was the cutest damn dress he'd ever seen.

Am I the only person who had been rooting against Kenley all along only to find myself rooting for her last night?

Also, was anyone surprised by how snarky Jerell was after he'd been voted out? In his post-elimination interview, he cracked, "If you want a basic white tee, you can just get one from Michael Kors—that's just not what I do."

Someone is bitter. Why leave on a sour note like that?

Anyway, do you think the judges made the right decision last night in letting Jerell loose, and who do you think is going to be the ultimate winner?

My money is on Leanne. Her collection is artistic yet wearable.
