I would ask the HGTV winner, if they would dare to enter any other contest, after this contest is the best in cable vision history ?

Winner was not even happy seeming like nothing at all. If it was me i would be freaking out and screaming.
How were you able to keep your cool so well with that nut case in your living room. Were there any catches that contractually you can’t disclose?
First of all I would ask her if she thought it was a joke,, next of all I would ask her if she was on meds or something! I mean, just to say ‘Thank You’ ???? Come on!
i would ask how many weeks in advance did they know so next year i will know how soon to stop watching because i did not win.
I agree with Sara except for the use of language!
I guess she wasn’t a blogger or she would have been gracious enough to answer our questions!

Did you have someone come to your home and prepare you for the “knock on the door”. Was it rehearsed? If so, I know she knew in advance, and they just kept us all hanging on for dear life.
Now that she has won, I would ask….why wasn’t she more excited!!!!!!!!!!!
what is wrong with you. Everyone who entered was waiting for the truck to pull up in front of there home. You seemed like it was a burdon. Give the house back and let some one who will be so happy and grateful for winnig such an incredible home, win it.
Did you find out you were dying, 10 minutes before they got there?
I have seen more excitement from somebody winning three dollars from an instant lottery ticket. I am sure that one will end up on talk soup.
What a disappointing reveal, I felt bad for the host,she really tried. Even if the winner does have a heads up they could at least fake it for the rest of us hopefulls sitting in our homes crossing our fingers saying pick me, pick me! Her reaction was a true let down. She shouldn’t bother going on Oprah. Oh well, thanks for trying HGTV.
Have some emotions you just won a 2.2 million dollar dream home and a chevy in the keys. where’s the extreme excitemnent and all the thanks to HGTV! You totally didnt deserve it based on gratitude. You should be freaking out right now and jumping up and down.If you don’t what the place i will gladly appreciate alot more than you did.
Do you think everyone was so unemotional because they were exhaused from spending the weekend at the keys,and maybe she kept scratching her head because it was full of sand?
Congrats, but I was a little blown away at the lack of excitement. It seems that it was just another win for you. The other people that didn’t win it were more excited than the winners. My family and I would be jumping for joy and on the first plane out to visit the place!
will you move to the home you’ve won and make it your primary home
i believe you were in shock, that’s why no reaction. but what about your husband or the family, i cant believe no one in the family screamed or jumped around…i really love to know your answer….Hummmm
I noticed that your husband said he had mentioned earlier today that this was probably what it was all about. It was so lame that they kept saying we are under cover and no one knows there coming. PLEASE and don’t ever just walk in my house. Why did you walk in the house the door was open, what if they had a gun? SO obviously they knew you were coming. It was soooo fake I am so disappointed. LAME LAME LAME
1) Are you going to try living in paradise, or sell for some cash?
2) What will you do to child-proof your fabulous new home if you decide to move in?
3) Will this be your toddler’s first trip to the beach?
4) What color suv will you choose?
5) How do you keep your home so clean now? (ha-ha)
Congrats, Stephanie; enjoy!!!
You didn’t appear to be excited, why?
I can’t believe it!! Are people in Iowa naturally dull?? What duds!!! They just won a big prize and they weren’t surprised?? And they just happened to have friends and family over – big hype for nothing. They either had to know in advance which defeats the big surprise BS or they are just very dull people. She looked drugged to me. What a disappointment and they couldn’t even get a spark out of her. REmind me to never visit Iowa!!!
Watching on TV walk into your home tells me you knew that you had won. Miss lake just walked in you don’t look surprise. beleave me the tax’s will eat you alive. chuck
Did Adda from West Palm Beach Fl have a better chance of winning the trip to Florida and the $5000 of flooring because she lived local to the prize location? I tried to win but I quess if you live in WI you didn’t have a chance !!
Why did you not looked suprised? Hmmmm who has a birhtday party at 9 pm on a Sunday night? Why did you not seem excited? Why were you scratching your head the whole time? This was the worst HGTV Dream Home giveaway episoide ever. It would of been so much better if the winner would of at least looked excited to of won such a prize.When did you actually know that you had won? The TV audience is not stupid….We know you knew before the cameras ever entered your door!
Talk about some harsh critics. What a bunch of judgemental, egotistical, jerks. You have no idea what she felt, what the situation was, etc. I hope one of you that are giving her so much grief wins next year so you can see what it feels like to be filleted by people who don’t even know you and weren’t even there.
I really dreamed of winning this house, Congrats!
This was definitely not worth the wait. Something was not right about the whole situation. A b’day party that late….you leave your front door open and not locked that late..someone is allowed to walk into your living room without you knowing it. Humm…if you come to my house at 9:00 at night you will have to ring the doorbell to get in. You would never be able to get to the great room without me knowing it..especially a stranger. There was no excitement, no surprise..nothing. Oh well, congratulations to the winners!!
If your selling. let me know how much you want for it. However, would you consider swaping it for a 4000 square foot Mac Mansion on 2.511 acers 45 mins from Manhattan. Our home is in tip top shape & about 16 years old?
