This week's Judge of the week is Rob Castellon! (L2 from Maine, but you knew that already, I'm sure. He's watching!)

We know you know some great judges out there, and they could probably use a nomination for Judge of the Week! I know they're not Rob Castellon, but I'm sure they could use some love too!
