You've read all about this season's 12 hopeful finalists, watched their casting videos and gotten the first tastes of their signature dishes, and you've likely already picked one — or a few — to root for during this week's premiere ( Sunday at 9|8c). Now it's time to help your favorite finalists top the fan vote.

Currently Christina Fitzgerald is in the lead with 21 percent of the votes, though Matthew Grunwald is close behind, currently earning 16 percent of the votes. To help them secure their places, and to bring up the rankings of the other finalists, all you have to do is vote for them online. You can vote as many times per day as you'd like; once per day after voting, you can enter the sweepstakes for your chance to win Star superfan swag.

This week's sweepstakes prize is a canvas tote bag with the Food Network logo, as well as a Food Network journal, just like the ones the finalists will be using during the competition. We'll be introducing new prizes every week, and by entering the sweepstakes at any point, you'll automatically be in the running for a $4,000 cash prize at the end of the season.
