This season, new graphics, music, and timing formats have appeared sporadically throughout the season. Some new episodes have them, some don't. What do you think the pattern is, and do you approve or disapprove of the changes?

I can comment on the pattern - the episodes that didn't have the new stuff were actually filmed earlier, as part of what FN called Season 5, while those with the new stuff are considered Season 6. The Cora/Richards battle, Battle Carrot, is the prime example. It aired on December 2nd, but is Episode IA0503, while last Sunday's battle, Cora/Stupak, Battle Chocolate, is Episode IA0603.
Personally, I'm not wild about splitting up the judging, or showing some of the judge's comments prior to the tasting. Otherwise, I'm OK with the changes.

I wouldn't mind the splitting of the judgment if they didn't include the first half with the final battle segment. They should put one less commercial break during the battle and stick another one in before the first judging session.
And HC, that makes perfect sense. I'm glad the mystery is solved. I guess a better question now is why FN aired the episodes out of order.

I'm just curious to see which episode debuts the new ICA outfits.

^Me too, ICC.
I haven't watched ICA lately, so I haven't seen any of these format changes yet.

Well, you'd think they'd at least keep the seasons separate from each other.
