Antonia Lafaso Wins TOC 6! [View all]

Meant to post this last night while I was still watching.
She finished 2nd last year by one point & was crushed.
She wasn't going to compete this year & Fieri wasn't going to push her.
The production manager called her with a couple weeks before the deadline to say she had X days to change her mind.
A couple days later, she called Guy to say she was in.
Then, she won the thing. $150,000 and the belt!
Also, very cool was that the finale judges were Chauhan, Williamson, & Lin for all 3 contests, then Martha Stewart joined for the final.
Plus, Tiffany Faison was part of the show all season so they had all 5 Champs on stage at one time.
Six seasons and the champ has been a woman every time!
