Heidi Klum Calls Runaway 'Project Runway' Contestants 'Cowards' On 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' (VIDEO)

Before the new season even began, "Project Runway" was making headlines. Much like "The Biggest Loser" this past season, contestants were leaving the show. Only this wasn't a protest, but rather the fact that they were simply overwhelmed. Or, as Heidi Klum put it on "Late Night" (Weeknights, 12:37 a.m. ET on NBC), "We had some cowards on the show."

According to the New York Post on June 24, a psychologist was brought on set to help one designer who was suffering a meltdown. Meanwhile, at the same time, another designer had simply packed up and disappeared in the night after getting placed in the bottom after a challenge.

The article goes on to say that Michael Kors gave the remaining contestants a pep talk in hopes of smoothing things out and keeping the show going, but Klum seemed far more irritated about the whole thing.

"Without my 'auf wiedersehen,' that bugs me!" she told Jimmy Fallon. So she and Fallon waved auf wiedersehen to the missing contestants through the camera.

Season 10 of "Project Runway" kicks off with a special "Road to the Runway" episode on Thursday, July 19 at 8 p.m. ET before settling into its regular Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET timeslot on Lifetime. Watch "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" weeknig! hts at 1 2:37 a.m. ET on NBC.
