Hmm... who says programs are an hour and a half?  Most stay around an 
hour -- at 1.5 hours, folks are getting seriously restless.  Any rate, the 
home show was about 45 minutes between the intro, video, and awards.

Don't forget... You've got the two Saturdays 2/6 and 2/13, plus the last

decided but are afraid to compete with what they just saw win."

Three out of the four judges were also entrants last spring.  It shouldn't 
be a problem.  I've always viewed the judging as secondary to the 
"sharing".
