And as a reader here are Reality on Bravo, YOU CAN WIN TOO! Every week, Reality on Bravo is teaming up with some awesome sponsors to offer prizes for lucky readers. Anyone who leaves a comment on Monday’s post or on the voting post (which will go live on Thursday) will be automatically entered to win the super-awesome prize - a astrological reading from Beth at Astrology Explored!

As for the competition, you have a say in that too! Every week after Project Runway, I’ll announce the weekly challenge and our 10 competitors will scurry away to write some amazing posts. Read them, and on Friday, vote for your favorites. Your votes, along with the opinions of our amazing judges, Bethany (the winner of the RoB “Create Your Own Reality Show” contest) and April (an extraordinary professional writer and blogger), determine who stays and who “goes home”

And now, here’s what you really want to know - THIS WEEK’S CHALLENGE:

On this week’s episode of Project Runway, contestants created outfits for women who had achieved an amazing goal - losing a TON of weight. Some of them had lost over 100 pounds! This week, your challenge is fairly easy - write about a goal you have for 2008. The New Year is arriving quickly! Your goal can be about blogging (”I want to post 1000 entries in 2008!”), about your blog topic (”I want to meet and interview Heidi Klum in 2008!), or just about your personal life (”I want to run a triathlon in 2008!”). It can be as crazy or as realistic as you want…just show us your passion. Make us cheer for you. Give us the motivation to set our own goals for the year!

You have until 8 AM on Friday to post, but remember - your link will be posted here for voting as soon as you post your entry, so for maximum voting, get your entries in soon!

Bloggers, start your engines! Check back later for a complete list of posts from our blogtestants, and don’t forget to vote on your favorite! Oh, and if anyone else out there wants to play along, send me the link to your post and I’ll include it on the list - you won’t be eligible for the grand prize, but you will get a little link love.

Good luck, bloggers!
