>> [alternates] are being sequestered still but seperate!
That’s gotta totally suck. Stuck, but with no influence on the process, and no visibility into what’s happening.
Amazingly these 3 alternates thought that they might be one of the chosen 6 until the last day. They paid all that attention and took it all in and it didn’t matter.
But they are the bench — ready to go in on a minute’s notice if one of the regulars gets injured, gets sick, or runs out of recipes to share.
