Cathy, the behind the screen auditions go brilliantly--and they are extremely interesting to observe because of the white men who are so dismayed by the results, since they are hiring people who "do not look like them." The bias of the observer/judge is a well-known phenomenon that is consistently studied and proven over and over in hiring practices of all kinds. Another place where blind judging has become a super interesting issue is TV cooking contests (to which I admit I am addicted). Introducing blind judging--the judges have no idea who cooked the food because no contestants are named and none are in the room--has meant that the old reliable winning of men in those situations disappears. In those contests, the women are winning in very significant numbers. This tells you something about high-end chef-y stuff as well.
