This week we are filming battles every night. Our clocks are completely turned around. Dusty, Morgan, and the two babies arrived late Monday night to join us.

This evening, we started filming in one of our most intricately designed sets ever! Last night, Nick and Aaron-the set designers-with the crew’s help began to transform the Northern Burns’ garage into a fifth century tent. There are many advantages to having the set in the garage, one of which is the controlled lighting, which makes …FULL POST
