Joe Flamm's mom interacts with some of the contestants, namely wishing Fatima well on her road to recovery. She is so funny. Regarding the dreaded cauliflower, she said, "Don't worry, honey, it's dead to us." Joe Sasto commented on one of Adrienne's posts back in January 2017. Filming began in May.
