Will a shorter contest mean it's more likely someone will make it all the way to the end? Let's find out.

Rules
1. Each round, pick one in the set to win.
2. Each pick you make can be used only once for the entire contest, so choose wisely.
3. If your pick loses, you are out!
4. Forget to make a pick before the deadline? You are out!
5. Picked something you picked already? It's considered a "no pick", and if you don't change it before the deadline, you are out!
6. Should a round end with no one surviving, everyone making a valid pick that round will advance to the next round.
7. Should there be more than one who makes it to the end of the contest, a tiebreaker of total vote difference will be used to determine the winner (and second, if necessary).
8. Your picks must include the round number and be bolded. Your pick will not count otherwise. No exceptions! This is to make your pick perfectly clear to me.

9. Please do not delete your posts. If you need to make a change, put CHANGE in your post before submitting a new pick.
10. Picking ahead is allowed. Be sure to use the correct round numbers when doing so.
11. The winner will be the Last User Standing and win a nice prize.
12. Due to the shorter length of this contest, there probably will not be a separate SLUS contest. Rather, I will likely award whoever finishes in second here as the Second to Last User Standing, along with a prize.
