I'm sorry if this is a really broad question, but what's a day of filming like? I've seen interviews where people say it's a whole 9-hour day, and the judges can take up to an hour deliberating on each dish. What was it like for you?

Do they warn you about the ice cream machine? I feel like so many people trip up tying to make ice cream. In fact, are there any special warnings from the producers? I think I read one guy say they warned him not to make bread pudding, because people make it so much the judges kinda hate it.

Wow, that's probably the most detailed account of the filming day I've ever seen. Thanks for writing that up!

Blow our minds right now. What's one thing that happened during filming that made the at-home viewer in you go "I never would have guessed they did that"?
