The final rival is going to be a Yandere, and that yandere has to be the journalist's daughter. Who else fits the thoery so well? She may have developed a crush on Senpai long before Yandere-chan, which is why she appeared to be doing yandere acts before the events of the game. She could spend a lot of time on the computer spreading rumours about rivals, or anyone who so much as glances at Senpai. I'm not sure where she would get all the money, but I'm sure I can think of a few ways, from blackmail to selling panty shots to Info-chan. YandereDev did say that she would also have the same abilities as Yandere-chan, and the tapes suggest that this Yandere has been active for much longer.

When Yandere-chan becomes active, I'm sure she wouldn't go unnoticed, assuming that she is at school the whole time. She might just decide to standback and let Yandere-chan do all her dirty work for her, or like all the other rivals, not be attending Akademi High until their respective week. Alternatively, what if both Yanderes were active, but never knew each other in person? What if you had to avoid being framed by her, or killed by any traps she set? It would be masterful foreshadowing. Of course, the hole in this is that the Journalist's daughter would be letting the rivals confess to Senpai if Yandere-chan fails to stop them, so maybe she'll just be absent.

Anyway, back to the point. I think this is the Dev telling us that we're not just going up against any Yandere. We're going up against one with far more experiance. Wouldn't it be more exciting to have the final rival be one that has been foreshadowed from the very beginning? From as far back as the public test versions? The final Yandere has to be the Journalist's daughter. It makes sense from a narritive standpoint, and the only evidence to refute it is lack of evidence, really.
