Wouldn't that contract have to be signed when you agree to compete before the first episode is filmed. The only reason I say that is that you actually see the runners up and other contestants far more often than the winners on other BRAVO TV envents and even TC.

I find it hard to believe that TC would be held over the barrel by a cheftestant. Stefan looked like he could play hardball but this seems a bit of a stretch.

Finally, I know that everything is in the editing, but it really did appear like Stefan 'lost' the finale. He just was not in top form. He surprised everybody I think.
