"I've been nagging on about it for the last few years, and it finally happened. We're all very, very proud."

    Guest judges for the challenge were designer Patricia Field and actress Lauren Graham of NBC's Parenthood. "I'm a giant fan," Graham said. "I've seen every episode and I just think it's such a wonderful show."
