What would you ask the LEGO Masters (USA) judges?

MeganL

There's a possibility we'll be offered another interview with Brickmasters Amy and Jamie from LEGO Masters USA.  I have some questions ready, but though I'd ask the group here for more ideas.

What would you ask the LEGO Masters judges?

I would like to know if, once the cameras had stopped rolling, they had been tempted to try any of the challenges given to the builders within the same time constraints to see what they could come up with as it must have been quite difficult to spend so much time in a room with so many bricks and not want to build especially given their roles within the company.

Did they ever have any strong disagreements between them as to which build was the weakest in a given week? And if so, how did they resolve the issue and determine who would go home?

Would they judge a season 2 or pass the duties to someone else?

Which build was the one each judge enjoyed the most?

Have the judges brought any of the challenges back to Billund for employee challenges?

How can watch these people with a straight face?

Have they been impressed by some builds to the point of thinking they probably wouldn't be able to do as good (even outside time constraints) ? Not only technically, but also artistically, in the story telling...

Did they take away any particular things (lessons, techniques, ideas, inspiration...) from the show that they've since been able to utilize within their normal jobs as designers at TLG?

My daughter wants to ask how they went about picking the teams for the season. 

My son wants to ask what their favorite challenge was to watch in person, and why?

MeganL

Thanks, everyone!  The interview is tomorrow morning (Pacific time), so if there are any other questions, there's still time to get them in here.  I'll try to fit in as many as I can!

SumoLego

Did the strength of the teams' prior builds have any impact on the decision to eliminate them in the current challenge?

In season 2, would Amy and Jamie participate as a team in one of the competitions?

Is there a limitation on the parts available to the participants?  Were the teams able to request certain parts in advance of the build competitions?

Any plans to turn any of the competition builds into a future retail set?

Will any of the more interesting builds be put on tour to the LEGO Stores?

@MeganL, can you post a link to the interview in this thread once it's finished? Looking forward to hearing more from the judges!

MeganL

Sure thing!  Right now we're trying to get it transcribed and published on Tuesday.

The interview has just gone live.  The essence of most of your questions are in there; of the ones that aren't, I think I could answer most of them, based on my visit to the set and the interviews I've had with the various people involved with the show.
