Project Runway has taken extreme measures to make sure its seventh-season finale isn't spoiled.

In addition, R&B singer Faith Hill was revealed as the seventh-season finale's guest judge -- as she took in the finale runway show from a seat in the audience and told The AP even she had a hard time critiquing the actual finalists because she hadn't learned all their names yet.
"I remember pieces," Hill told The AP. "If I had my book in front of me, I would be able to remember. But I just remember the pieces so vividly."
Project Runway's seventh season premiered on January 14, so only five episodes have aired so far.
Project Runway has traditionally used "decoy" presentations to prevent the identities of its real finale finalists from leaking, however Friday's 10 collections is a new high. The finale runway show for Project Runway's fifth season -- its last Bravo edition -- had featured collections from six finalists.
For its sixth season, Project Runway producers still proceeded with the show's original plan to film the season's finale at last February's New York Fashion Week despite the show being stuck in legal litigation that had prevented it from premiering its already previously-filmed episodes.
While extra security was added and the sixth-season finalists' collections were presented anonymously, details about their identities still leaked out.
The Friday finale runway show of "Project Runway" had so many designers that even its surprise guest judge had trouble keeping track.
"I remember pieces," country singer Faith Hill said after the show, admitting that she hadn't yet learned the names of the contestants that she'll be critiquing. "If I had my book in front of me, I would be able to remember. But I just remember the pieces so vividly." About The Author: Steven Rogers
