** To put it in perspective, the speech occurred after Gretchen had stabbed her teammates in the back during judging[[note]] (heaping praises on her teammates before completely reversing her opinion and proclaiming the entire collection to be "crappy")[[/note]] and then cowed them into throwing Michael Costello (who had immunity) under the bus. It took Tim (usually the most staid and professional of the "experts") losing his temper for someone to ''finally'' say what every viewer was undoubtedly thinking.

Added DiffLines:

* The Season 7 episode "Takin' It to the Streets." Emilio and Seth Aaron create a stunning, cohesive set of two looks inspired by New York's Harlem neighborhood. The judges are so impressed by the quality of their work and their ability to work together as a team that the two earn the honor of being the first designers in Project Runway history to ''both'' win a challenge.

* Pretty much everything Tim Gunn does is a CMOA, but his recent [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz7isk-kwqY lecture]] about Gretchen in Season 8 pretty much tops them all.

* Season 16 has one for the show format: after 15 seasons of watching designers freak out anytime they have to design for a model bigger than size 00, they're throwing out the [[VerySpecialEpisode single token plus-sized challenge]]. The new models range from size 0-22, with variety in body type and height, and the designers are randomly assigned a new girl each challenge. Designers who blame their poor performance on the model's size get NoSympathy.

* Season 5, the look of "OhCrap" on Kennley's face when she realizes Tim Gunn is going to be one of the judges for the finale, after she's disrespected him that whole season. Yeah...it was so awesome!

** On the same chaper, no matter what opinion you may have about Wendy Pepper, but "The Shoe-Gate" does give Wendy a JerkassHasAPoint moment for once. Despite Kara Saun being clearly on the wrong[[note]]She got custom designed shoes from a friend for free, got extra help from that same friend in the workroom, and when Tim told her that she couldn't have free favors as stipulated in the contracts, she told her friend to put an arbitrary $5 price on the receipts, which is a huge gap comparing to Jay and Wendy, who had to scrap their budgets for cheap shoes.[[/note]], Wendy finally calls her out for blatantly cheating after placing herself on the moral highground for weeks to attack Wendy for her behaviour on the show.

* Episode 8, the Runway is simulated in rain, and the designers have to design a dress around the theme. In a moment of Genius, Sean Kelly designs a dress with powdered dye pouches inside, that when the rain hits them, its leaks onto the white dress he made. It wins him the challenge.

* The majority of the unconventional challenges fall into this. Taking something that you don't normally associate with fashion (or as textiles period) and turning it into something fashionable truly falls into awesome. Designers have worked with fresh produce, plants, materials from their apartment (including things like blinds, lampshades and chandeliers), lawn chairs, mop heads, recycled materials, candy, car parts, newspapers, potato sacks, party supplies, DIY supplies, duct tape, even stationery and school supplies! Granted, a number of these things are usually glued onto muslin for practical/safety reasons, but you do have to admit that there is still an art to it.
