I am not a pick person when it comes to bathrooms. I like to get in, go, get out. I can go anywhere, if you don't believe me, spend a week in the boundary waters. I did, however have an experience yesterday that was unlike any other. We were at Chili's enjoying a conversation after a good meal, and I knew either the conversation had to be wrapped up and we had to go home, or I needed to excuse myself.
As you may guess, I excused myself to the WC. There I found a set up that was not conducive to proper usage of the facility. The bathroom was mostly dark, a modern feel. The only light in the room were two spotlights pointed from above right on the toilets. My immediate impression was the effect the producers on WWTBAM are trying to achieve. When the contestant is asked the question, the lights of the studio go out except the spot lights that point in directly on the contestant. This puts pressure on the person, and really adds drama. Drama is not what I'm looking for in that room. I was worried I wouldn't be able to perform adequately. The good news is, however, that I do my best thinking in that location.
