Some clueless editor saw "competition" and made an assumption.

She must have done all right, if she's planning to go get her own place AND a trip to Europe with the winnings.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Her answer to "What will you do with the money?" doesn't necessarily mean she won that much.

She was the carryover contestant from the previous day when I was there, so she was only in the room with us for an hour or so. She was very quiet, and pretty nervous, but really sweet. The APs were freaking out because they accidentally let her go on wearing her sweater over her dress, which is apparently a no-no, but I think she looks fine.

Funny, I thought "What the heck is she doing with that sweater on?"

Ha, that's what they were saying too. It was definitely cold in there, but I guess they just forgot to tell her to take it off before filming.

Hey, it's November! (And there are snow flurries in the air.)

It's not like the episode was airing in June, when a sweater (and coats and scarves worn by the audience) would look out of place. :wink:
