$100,000 is not going to go very far in building out and opening a restaurant... even if she had the prize money she'd still need some investors, too.

She would be silly to use HER OWN $$ to open a restaurant! With a TC win she could get plenty of money people to cut her a sweet deal

Does she even know who the winner is? Last season they saved it for a live finale show.

Yes, indeed, $100,000 would come in handy for the opening of a new place...and, especially as she won all of that new GE Commercial equipment.

I'm not one to jump to conclusions (all the time), but if she's looking at spaces for a new restaurant, $100K could come in handy. But she wasn't telling.

Interesting how her final four picks were the same as mine... As she mentioned about Lisa, reality TV editing can give a very different impression from reality, but I guess I was right that Dale was the surprise non-finalist.

You lucky dog, you, Chuck! You got to speak with Steph! * sigh * And, we can't wait for her new place to open. Did it sound like she won TC?
