Project Runway's Kenley: The most irritating reality show contestant ever?

Not since Omarosa appeared on the Apprentice (and faked a serious injury after a piece of dust fell on her head) have I despised a reality show contestant as much I despise Kenley from this season's Project Runway. Have any of you been watching this? She's a bratty little jerk. She's every girl I ever hated in high school. She's the obnoxious girlfriend you hope your brother never brings home. She's overconfident, insensitive and laughs when other people fail. Not to mention the fact that she only knows how to make ONE DRESS. On Wednesday night's episode she was so disrespectful and rude to Tim Gunn (Tim Gunn!) that I wanted to reach through the screen and smack her across her stupid head.
This week's challenge was to create an outfit for one of your fellow designers based on a musical genre. Kenley was assigned Leanne and she had to make a hip hop look. Her '50s floral print tank and high-waisted pants were so off the mark (not to mention ugly) it was actually kind of sad.
In the workroom, when Tim expressed concern about Kenley's lack of direction, the little creep immediately started sassing him. Tim said:
"You need to listen. It will benefit you tremendously as a designer. It would help if you removed the sarcasm and the facetiousness."
Kenley's response?
"Tim doesn't get me as a designer...I cannot really listen to Tim at this point because what does he know about hip-hop?"

Later, when she got slammed on the runway, Kenley defended her outfit: "It's hip hop in a classy, expensive way."
HAHAHAHA
Check it out. Does this looks expensive and/or classy to you? Heidi said the pants were the most unflattering pants she'd ever seen in her life. Kenley whined and complained about this. She said that her challenge was especially hard (OK. Other people had to do punk and country and make clothes for men--that's equally hard) and that she needed more time.

Unfortunately, she didn't get kicked off last night. And, according to what I saw, I think she might even show at Bryant Park.
Sigh.

    Her whiny voice drives me nuts! Even when she is not complaining, she sounds whiny.

    I was shocked that they sent Suede home instead of her, when she so completely missed the mark. But she does bring some drama to an otherwise very boring group of designers. This is the weakest bunch, from a TV point of view, of all seasons.

    Seriously... Kenley needs to go back to Walmart. Or better yet, back to her time capsule that will hopefully send her dated butt back to the 50's.

    MonicaG your post was right on!

    She acts like a spoiled brat, who has never been told no! She is totally a one-trick pony. If you don't broaden your horizon's (even as an artist) your designs will eventually become ho-hum. I have been a hair stylist for 20+ years. It's great to be able to do the classics, but if you don't keep up with the times, and step out of the box, you'll eventually get left in the dust.

    She has a lot to learn!

    I don't think we need to meet her to know she is an ungrateful and obnoxious brat...she has no creativity and is completely rude to everyone. She needs to step back and realize she is not a "real designer" yet...she is in the tryouts, and if she keeps this attitude up (if she can't take criticism well) then she will be a nobody after the show.

    Ha.. I totally agree... It sucks because at the begining of the show.. I thought I'd love her.. (I just really loved her hair)... But then as the season progressed she just got progressively more and more bratty!... she's totally rude and disrespectful to Tim, the judges and her fellow designers.. I mean it takes alot of bitchiness to outright laugh at a designer on the fricken runway.... and that annoying wicked little laugh of hers is enough to make you want to smack her... *sigh*... I do love this show for it's contents... not the drama.. and she's ruining it for me!

    OMG! I cringe everytime I hear her speak! Her voice is just one of the many obnoxious qualities about her. She's immature and rude and has WAAAAY to much confidence in herself. I agree with the previous post that Suede got robbed last week. Based on her 'hip hop' design it's quite clear that she designs for Walmart. I pray she doesn't make it to Bryant Park.
