Project Runway: Will Jack be back?

Project Runway contestant Jack Mackenroth attends a fashion show in New York.
After this week’s reunion show on Project Runway, I’m convinced Jack Mackenroth will be back next season.
Jack, who was open about his HIV-positive status on the show, chose to leave the show earlier this season, after he got an infection. He felt it was best if he left, sought out treatment and took care of himself. It turned out to be the best decision, he said at the reunion show. It turned out he spent a week in the hospital before recovering from the infection.
Before Runway, Jack had a successful career. He attended Parsons School of Design after earning a dual degree from University of California at Berkeley. He then opened his own shop, Jack, in New York and later worked for Tommy Hilfiger and designed for Slates, a division of Levis.
When the question came up about Jack returning in a future season, he didn’t give a definite answer. But, being a favorite earlier on this season — some even said he was one of the obvious top designers and a possible winner — he definitely has some fan support. Not as much as that wacky Christian, though. That kid has more attitude than anyone I’ve seen in a long time.
Project Runway, Jack Mackenroth
