Ok, disclaimer 1st I am not a programer this is just based off of observation and theory.
Premise: since the system is ranking items it needs data no mattter what thus you aren't voting on an item exactly you are simply voting on an items rank.
This implies that the more often you hit vote neither when presented with 2 terrible items the more likely you'll keep seeing those terrible items. This is because there is not enough data on the bad items.
So when you see to bad items really you must choose or the system program will keep kicking it back until it ranks somewhere.
Example: The Walkie Talkie Coins vs The Overly Complicated Swiss Army Knife
IF you go vote for neither, the system still doesn't know how to rank them it needs more data.
If you vote for say the Walkie Talkie Coins then at least the system knows that they beat out the OCSAK and might let you move on from that though it will still likely want to know where the OCSAK ranks and present it again against other items.
I've been working off that and seeing less repeats

I vote every time, and I'm seeing the same two dozen items pop up in about half of the pairs I get.
Yeah, but I think the issue is that if a lot of other people are hitting neither on pairings with those same two dozen items, then they're going to keep popping up. That's why I just grit my teeth and keep trying to rank one above the other. Someone has to get that data in the system, so I guess it may as well be me.
This is part of how I'm trying to convince myself it's a good thing that I haven't seen my item yet, too. Clearly it's so awesome that everyone who sees it votes for it, so it doesn't get kicked back as often. ...Right?
...Right?
...Bueller?

I think you're right. That's what I keep saying to myself when after a few hundred clicks I've seen certain items 5-6 times and haven't seen mine yet.
OR if everyone thought my item was so horrible that it's been consistently voted against. :D But I think that's quite unlikely if you've followed the judges' advice on formatting, auto-rejects and so on.

Shhhh... Don't say that! :P
True story, though, I tried to follow all the advice I was offered, so hopefully it helped. Glad to hear I'm not the only one thinking this way.
And here I am again on a string of items I JUST voted on...
