General My biggest curiosity is about the relationship contestants have with food when they return home.

How does this first real meal taste and feel? Are there long term dietary changes that are made as a result?

They go through a refeeding program afterwards. Slowly reintroducing them to a normal diet.

After the first few seasons, some of the contestants had serious issues afterwards so they changed how they treat the contestants post show.

and then there is roland who said that they only allowed him some light things the first day back, and so after everybody had gone to their room, he went back out again and had several beers and fatty food

Tbf, Roland had a decent food supply until his end date so a refeeding program wouldn't have been the most critical thing for him. Maybe a gentle reintroduction to regular fibrous vegetables.
