But then Rachael Ray popped up on video. Guess who's getting a brand new kitchen?
Ray sent design expert Carter Osterhouse to lead a team of local construction workers.
But no one knows more about makeovers than Wilma Stephenson, who has spent 41 years at Frankford High.
Last year the documentary "Pressure Cooker" showed how she deals with kids from rough streets and trying homes.
Stephenson is strong medicine but she gets results, pushing her kids to $4 million in cooking scholarships over the last twenty years.
Today those kids saw something for the first time: Wilma Stephenson crying.
Stephenson has called out only once in 40 years, and won't be breaking that streak anytime soon.
