Dee was the winner of the 2008 Shear Genius. I personally don't think she deserved it, I think Charlie(runner up) deserved it more.
Cadel Evans from Australia was the runner up in the 2008 Tour de France. However, Evans would finally become the winner in the 2011 event when he became the first Australian cyclist to win.

A winner is the person or team that comes in first place in a competition, while a runner-up is the person or team that comes in second place. The winner is typically the one who achieves the ultimate goal of the competition, while the runner-up falls just short of that goal.
the winner is mohit...
Actually, the Runner Up did better. The runner up was an excellent, all-around singer that could sing anything thrown at him, while the winner could only sing a few things well. It was a matter of prejudice against the runner up, which is why he was a runner up and not the winner, even though the runner up (Adam Lambert) was better than the winner. The runner up definitely did better this year- Adam Lambert was clearly the best.
The winner was Brandi M. and the runner up was Destiney
