What about this for Vote-Off 9?  All participants submit one fully clothed picture and then a set of other photos that are defined by @ed and published prior to the event.  The event lasts for as many rounds as there are photos and the voting for each round is to determine which one of the participants has the current photo displayed for all to see and the rest of the participants never have their version of that photo see the light of day.  Except, for the final round, votes determine which participant will have ALL of their photos put on display.

This makes voting quite interesting.  For some photos, some participants might want to vote to show off their version.  For other photos, they may want to vote to ensure their pic isn’t the one displayed.  I could see there being a LOT of votes in both directions each round which would be fun.  This stays true to the intent of the Vote-Offs that it is votes that determines who is revealed, it just changes it slightly.  I would think that votes cast would need to reset to zero for each round.

The success of this type of Vote-Off would be in the creativity of the set of required photos to enter the event.  Perhaps a mix of pics that participants might not really care if they are displayed, along with several which would be a bit more revealing or embarrassing which a participant may not want to have everyone else see.  It could take some work but each round could include a blurred or redacted version of each person’s photo so that others can decide which one they want to vote to see without blurring.

Now that’s a very interesting twist, whether in this round or not I would be in favor of that being part of the deal.

The list of required photos is “published” meaning shown on the website so that everyone knows which photos to submit if they want to participate.  Sorry, I see how that was not very clear.  When votes determine, a photo is “displayed” meaning it is revealed for anyone to see.  So for each round one winning photo would be displayed, and at the final voting round all photos for the winning/losing participant would be displayed/revealed for all to see.

I think having a blurred or redacted version of each photo may encourage more voting, but that would probably take a lot of work.  If this were possible, however, then each round would start with all blurred entries from each participant displayed on the website page and after voting the winning entry would be displayed without any blurring.  Not sure if the remaining blurred entries for that round would just stay blurred or be removed, doesn’t really matter I think.
