Q2 - Debbi Bradbury - Hi Amanda. When you guys are filming and someone messes up, who will be the first one to crack up?

A2 - Um....that'd be me. I am always the first to break. Always. It's embarrassing. I'm like a walking giggle.

Q3 - Lydia Hartzler - Tomorrow I have to be at work at 5:30 am. What is the earliest you have had to get up for a filming day?

A3 - On Sanctuary, 4am was my earliest wakeup. My usual day is 4:30am wakeup. And I'm perky!

Q4 - @the_h0 - There is so much of the Sanctuary we have yet to see. If you could invent one room what would it be used for and why?

A4 - I really want to see a big eat-in kitchen! Great appliances and a huge wooden table where we'd all hang out.
