ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Speaking of Kenley, from the way they cut the episode, it seemed like she came back with a better attitude. Was that the case?
JERELL SCOTT: You know, I have to say yes. What most people don't understand is how difficult the process was. We were burned out and tired. Honestly, you really are defending your life. So I can understand some people handle it in different ways. I can totally see why she was defensive, and I think people were too quick to say, ''How could she just snap on Heidi?'' But you really are defending your life. Someone's gonna go home, somebody's dreams are going to be crushed. So what I think happened was she had time to look at herself, and I have to say, she really took the high road coming in and wasting no time to apologize and say, ''Hey, let's get through this last thing. This is our last time together, let's have fun with it and enjoy it.'' And who wants drama? That's not what we're there for. This isn't I Love New York; we're not sitting in a hot tub getting drunk. We're here to show the world what we do.

So, you saw Korto's, Leanne's, and Kenley's lines. Which did you like best?
For me, I think that they just did such a great job casting this. Especially when they got down to the four of us, we all have such different points of view; it was really exciting to see what people could do when they had some time. Not that 45 days is a lot of time, but some time to actually work on it. So I can't really pick a favorite, I love them all and I respect them all as designers. They were all amazing.

What was your favorite challenge?
I really loved my New York nightlife dress; I think that was really overlooked. And the collaboration between me and Stella for Brooke Shields, I really loved that. But all my collaborations were really fun, I really like working with other people. Honestly, I really am a very live-in-the-moment kind of guy.
