Welcome to the Best White Collar Season 4 Episode contest. It works a lot like the NCAA basketball tournament, with episodes going against each other and the winner moving to the next round. Before we can begin though every episode needs a ranking and that's where today's poll comes in. You can choose up to 3 episodes. The poll will be open until 7 pm CST and the actual contest will begin tomorrow evening. Comments are always welcome and they make the hiatus go by quicker. We'll also be doing a contest closer to the premiere of season 5 for best Mozzisms. A nomination form will be posted later for you to include your favorites.
Below is a very brief synopsis of each episode this season. It is meant to spark your memory not to be inclusive of everything. Thanks so much for participating. Hopefully it will pass the time quicker before the summer season begins.
