30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS

It is bullshit, but not for the reasons you state Joel. It's Earl's challenge and it's his right to announce the winners.

It was revealed early on that Earl was struggling in his personal life. Earl was also always up front about his belief in the challenge being it's own reward.

So what if the winners haven't been announced yet?
1. It hasn't even been 3 weeks.
2. There's a lot of blog entries to judge.
3. It's only Teff's impatience, to put it politely, that has created an issue here.

I think it's bullshit because I don't think Teff has any right to announce any winners for the January Challenge. The least of the reasons being that she only became involved in the last quarter, and even then, it was controversial, and her redirection of the challenge was also controversial.

We all get sick, we all have personal issues, we're all winners here and I think people should lay off Earl.
