Ashley Nell Tipton (cast in this season's role of 'underdog') took home the top prize in Project Runway's Season 14 finale, and for once, the judges made the right decision. They crowned the contestant with the least amount of attitude, cattiness and bitchiness, as they have in the past (i.e. Jeffrey, Christian, Gretchen, Irina). For a refreshing change, none of the last four contestants had attitude problems. No backstabbing, name-calling, or mean-spiritedness.
The award could easily have gone to Kelly Dempsey (in the role of 'quirky girl'), Candace Cuoco (in the role of 'goth chick') or uber-sexy Edmund Newton (in the role of 'macho straight guy'), all of whom maintained a comfortable level of professionalism. They concentrated on their craft instead of ripping apart one another.
The win vindicates Ashley since her fellow contestants never gave her the credit she deserved. After winning two challenges, she was the last one picked for the team challenge. Heidi scolded them for that. When asked during another challenge, all of the ones on the chopping block said Ashley should be eliminated. When the judges were paring four down to three, they asked the contestants who should go to Fashion Week with them. None of them chose Ashley.
Ashley had challenges on the runway last night that other contestants did not have to face - her models had breasts. Few of the other runway models had any curves at all.
