They are already home. The selected Iron Chef is known long before the taping of the battle. It is that way on ICA. It was that way on the real Iron Chef, too. ICA uses stand-ins to fill the spots on the podium.
On the original IC, you usually saw a shot over the challenger's shoulder that showed only the selected Iron Chef. That's because the others weren't there. (Yes. There were occasions when the other Iron Chefs would be in Kitchen Stadium watching the battle, but that was not the norm.)
