Worst Project Runway Contestants

Kenley’s overconfidence caused her to butt heads with everyone, including Project Runway’s host, Heidi Klum. Her unusual designs may have been interesting, but they certainly did not give her license to treat everyone else as if they were inferior.

How has she not already joined this list? She was manipulative, self-righteous, and after being horrible for the entire season she won. She should be top of this list, imo.

Wendy seemed to feel as if she had something to prove for all of Season 1, especially because she was one of the older contestants. She had conflicts with almost every other designer, she constantly made excuses for her poor performance, and, in the end, just seemed to be a generally unpleasant person who thought more of herself than she ought.

With his oversized ego, eccentric designs and personality, and undeniable flair, Santino certainly brought drama to Season 2 of Project Runway, but it wasn’t necessarily welcome drama. By season’s end, everyone wanted to see him gone.

How is Ven not on this list? His repetitive designs were bad enough. But when he, as a fellow fat person, treated his customer so terribly in the real women challenge, he was over in my book. He's now my least favorite contestant ever. Jeffrey comes close, though, for also treating a customer badly.

Stella’s insistence on using black leather for every challenge and her limited design sensibility (i.e., rock star chic) made her one of the least interesting designers on the show, while her grating voice and thick New York accent made her one of the least likeable.

Although eccentric personalities are often fascinating to watch, Elisa’s eccentricities were more annoying than interesting. The worst moment was when she spit on the fabric to mark it instead of using the more generally accepted chalk.
