Downtime

Don't know what the Vegas bookies' odds were, but we have made it successfully through our first week of Knitters' Hunk / Knitters' Chick.  The voting turnout has been tremendous --- thanks to all of you who are getting involved.  And there is more yet to come!

In fact, later today, I'm going to sit down and do a little math to see if having 4 pairs a day might significantly speed things up a bit.  There are still 28 first-round pairs between the two competitions, so we're looking at a couple of weeks no matter how we go.  Those of you who've been through all this before, what do you think?  First-timers, what's your opinion?

Let me re-emphasize that as long as someone you nominated is still in the tournament, you are still in the running for the grand prize.  If I'm remembering correctly, there's only one person who's in imminent danger of elimination, so everyone is pretty much on equal footing.

If you've missed a day, or just want to see all this week's winners in one place, here are the past week's victors:

Idris Elba

Liam Neeson

Paul Rudd

Colin Firth

Johnny Depp

Lenny Kravitz

Jeff Daniels

Stephen Colbert

Jon Hamm

Benedict Cumberbatch

Aidan Quinn

Olivia Wilde

Anna Kendrick

Eleanor Roosevelt

There was also one tie which we will sort out next week.

Looks like a good group to me --- how about you?
