Hi Challengeers.

Now that our HOT and COLD winners have had a little bit of time in the spotlight, it's time to give a cheer to all those who didn't quite make it to the top, but did very well. So if your entry appears on any of these lists, you deserve a pat on the back. (Lots of ties in the Top 40.)

Love, Deb
