Please correct me if I double counted. In addition, I didn't count people who posted partial votes that indicated they were still making up their minds. And, of course, these exit polls are NOT predictive (yet). After all, four votes puts you in the top 16 right now.

I just went for the four concepts I liked the best and decided to ignore the more technical considerations some of them raised.
-Corpse Stitcher
-Necrotic Tempest
-Caltrop Golem
-Lantern Thralls
Statistics! Fun!!!! I want to play too!

I'm half-tempted to switch one of my votes for the Tremagguan; it was nowhere near my top-four, but they're all relatively high and the thought of the parasite-leech-men not getting through makes me sad :(.
I did miss the edit, thanks.
My votes are:
Jared Goodwin — Tremagguan
James Martin — Wyrmhiri
Jim Groves — Skintaker
Chris Mortika — Lantern Thrall
My voting decision was made less on flavor and more based on what I want to see at the END of the competition. Namely, these four wrote monsters who generated the most narrative and emotion to my mind. Since the winner writes a module, I want that module to be as gripping as possible.
Condolences to Hunt and McGowan, who were the last two selections I cut before placing my vote.

We're only allowed four votes? Arrgh. Far too many monsters worth voting for in this round.
My votes are going to (in no particular order):
If I had two more votes, I would vote for:
Skintaker: beautifully fills a niche with a rare sympothetic villain.
Marrow Worm: sometimes adventuring is ugly business. This is proof of that. The threat of it can be as effective as using it.
Carapace devil: An elegant alternative to intelligent items which opens the door for a whole class of creatures that hide inside of items.
I don't have a forth pick as of yet, but further review warrents it I'll edit this post to reflect that.

Remember, all someone in the latter category needs is a few silent voters to be right in this thing.
Edit: to be clear, I've only counted people who posted four final votes.
Matthew McGee — Ossuary Golem (Possibly one of the most interesting ideas this round).
Joshua Kitchens — Astrumal (Inventive annoyance monster. If it is still possible to use weapons that are stuck to this thing-albeit at a negative, then I think it could be way more entertaining to fight one of these than a rust monster. Imagine yourself and your armor stuck to this thing trying to fight it-- and doing some damage-- and imagine the other partymembers; the wizard and rogue... laughing.)
Dennis Baker — Brown Urus (I find this herd idea really exciting; and the fact that it also involves manipulating other species as guardians is an interesting touch.)
Alex Shideler — Prismwing, Larvae (Sandtrap!)
---Honorable Mentions
Crysalis- A little too much seemed to be going on.
Caltrop Golem- I like the revenge from the grave idea.

I don't like to reveal my votes, as I believe every entry should be taken on it's own merit. I feel that one should at least read through the entry, if not analyze it with scrutiny. The judges expect no less. That said, I am shamed to admit I voted for one of the monsters that was not really a monster. It was just too well written, and the potential inherent between this particular contestants original item submission and the item-monster in question was too...potent. There was also a quality that each monster I voted for shared...but I wouldn't want to create any bias!
I don't like to reveal my votes, as I believe every entry should be taken on it's own merit.
Uh-huh. I seriously doubt that a poll like this one creates a measurable bias when compared to the influence of people arguing on the actual threads. But you do whatever you want. Enjoy the competition.
Go Splorudra!

Minor nitpick: ties are properly ranked at the bottom of the grouping, not the top. The format should be like so:
Wow, really? I feel like a petty little arse saying this, but could I get a reference on that? I can only think of instances of ties ranked at the top of the range, and googling around has kind of backed me up, but hasn't given me anything definitive.
As for using this thread to decide your votes; yeah I can't imagine people even looking at this thread before they've read the entries thoroughly and formed some opinions, it's just a bunch of numbers if you don't know what the monsters are!
I'm pretty sure the only way this thread introduces bias is due to the handful of people who "Game" their votes by eg. switching one of their votes from a runaway leader to bolster an entry that's outside their top 4 but they really want to see in the top 16 as discussed in the "Full Rankings?" thread. That's their prerogative and I doubt anyone thinks that's the purpose of this thread. I guess it's possible that people do the "Oh well my favorite doesn't stand a chance so I'll vote for the one I hate the least" thing so often seen in politics (and it drives me up the wall), but that's why Roguerouge always puts the message on the end pointing out the tiny margins towards the bottom of the rankings. We've had entries get through with zero votes in the round exit polls before (eg. Boemundo last year, twice IIRC) and it'll happen again, no one's out of the running yet!
The main purpose of this thread for me at least is exactly the same reason I look at political exit polls. I tend to vote early and the wait between casting my vote and the result being announced can be interminably long, so in the meantime I obsess over every scrap of data I can get to see how my choices are doing.
Also I find a perverse kind of entertainment in doing tallies :P.

I don't like to reveal my votes, as I believe every entry should be taken on it's own merit.
The other reason I do this is because Paizo never reveals vote numbers at the end of the round, and their stated rationale is "Because." While not as good as final returns, exit polls do give a sense of fair play to the competition for me. If, for example, Jim Groves didn't advance, then at least we'd know that was an unusual result requiring explanation, for which we could then ask. The gold standard would be final vote tallies, but since we're not going to get those, this is the best way we can keep an eye on the process.
We've had entries get through with zero votes in the round exit polls before (eg. Boemundo last year, twice IIRC) and it'll happen again, no one's out of the running yet!

Also I find a perverse kind of entertainment in doing tallies :P.
Data entry does have its small pleasures, yes. I used to do my little league team's baseball statistics. Great improvements on the polling. The partial vote indicators are really helpful!
And yes, Boemundo, as I recall, believed the news attention he was getting in Brazil boosted him in the voting. If there's a Saskatoon lobby or a Netherlands landslide, it's fun to find that out now. And poor Nick Wain doesn't have any regional lobby!
This was tough and I wish I could take more than four votes, but here's what I'm going with in no particular order:
.
.
.

Chymick
Skintaker
Astrumal
Slithering Horror
My votes:
Jim Groves - Skintaker
Alexander MacLeod - Ardorwesp
Sean McGowan - Rictus
Richard Hunt - Splorudra
I also really liked the Chaitrakhan, the Churjiir, the Haga, the Ossuary Golem, the Sin-Fallen Angel of Gluttony, and the Slithering Horror, so it was a bit difficult to narrow down to just four.
Good luck to everyone!

Huh, replaced my manual tally with a matrix of the votes to automate the tally, track partial choices and to make life easier if people change their votes (and not at all to generate votes by time graphs, that would be sad ;), and apparently Skintaker has been one short for a while, anyway:

Incidently sorry that when I post ties are at the top of the range rather than the bottom, but that's how the spreadsheet does it and I'm lazy too lazy to do anything other than C&P the list :P.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranking
Looks like it can go either way, and yours might be the more common method.
Ranking ties at the bottom seems far more useful in this case, though. I want to see how close I am to the in/out break point, not how close I am to the top!
It also means you don't need the T in there, because reading down the list the skipped number comes before the tie, letting you know it's coming.
My complete vote is:
Splorudra
Chaitrakhan
Corpse Sticher
Skin Taker
My vote for the Splorudra has already been counted.

Huh, Wikipedia was the first place I checked, how the hell did I miss the article *confusion*
Ahh well, good point that its more useful in this case, I'll change it up manually when I post then :). Hmm, would people be interested in me copying this vote matrix into google docs and sharing it? It's very quick and dirty, but you can just sort, then C&P the table summary for speedy tally generation :).

Actually scratch that, there's a dead simple way of correcting it to show ties at the bottom of the range, wheeeeeeeeee:
