Briggs-Rauscher Iodine Oscillator: Cool Chemical Reaction

(youtube) This reaction is an extremely interesting reaction that is a rare phenomenon in chemistry - an oscillating reaction. Three clear solutions are combined, and the color gradually changes to amber. Suddenly, the whole thing goes dark blue! This remains for a bit, then fades back into amber and the whole cycle repeats.

Does it really matter how you mix them?
Like Home Simpson likes to say: "Blue M&Ms, Red M&Ms - they all end up same color".
