I just finished the episode. I think the show is very good. I think they did a good job teaching the girl how she can "have her cake and eat it too". I liked the whole bit with the supermarket trip and then the taste testing. Lots of people need to do an exercise like that in their own homes.
I think that girl will change things, though likely not as drastically as what was suggested. I don't see her continuing to work cleaning bathrooms to get free yoga.
I would be curious to know if she gets rid of the car. I remember after college, I visited one of my roommates in Queens. He was paying as much for his parking space as I was paying for rent on my apartment. It was insane but folks in NYC think nothing of it.
Overall, I think the process opened her eyes to the fact that there are cheaper but equally enjoyable ways to live. The winery seemed to really impress her. I could see her heading up there for weekend getaways, maybe to attend any special events or festivals they hold there.
