    I don't know if it's workable, but I think for these later rounds it would be better to leave the votes open for a certain period of time rather than just getting 5 votes. Why should just 5 people on this site have a say? This would also give you a chance to drum up more interest.

    Just a thought.

    I wish, but unfortunately we're lucky to be getting the five votes needed to win. I've PMed five or so people just to finish off the rounds.
