While it should go without saying that we're all interested to see what each of the top 16 have come up with, I'll be equally interested to see which headshots were selected. I'm curious about the breakdown of everyones selection, which were picked, which were avoided and which were duplicated.
Many of the headshots can easily be villains, while others are quite a stretch. Did villainous looking pics get avoided in favour of a longer stretch? Did the judges consider how easy/difficult a particular selection was while doing their commentary? Did duplicated pics get similar treatments from both submissions, or did each contestant see something really different? How many duplicates (or triplicates) will there be? Maybe there are 16 different treatments for the same pic :P
I see so much other potential in all of these pics, and am really looking forwards to participating in discussion of what could/would have been. What cool ideas did people come up with and then leave behind? What trends will be evident in these discussions?
Naturally all of this will have to wait until next week but I can see the discussion threads on this round being active for a long time. I just can't get over how cool this round is!

I wanrt to say at least one pic got duplicated, but my gut says three! This weekend was like a spa day away from the pressure cooker and 24 hours out I'm feeling the tension creep back in like a playtest ninja.

Hm. We taking pool bets here? I'm going to go with... two duplicate portraits, but one of those two was used in three separate entries.

I'll take a chance and say only one duplication, though the portrait will be pretty gender-neutral, so one entry will have opposite genders.
That would be kind of awesome.
Now of course when this comes true I'll be booted as a cheaters, or revered as a psychic.
Being psychic IS cheating! Isn't that in the fine print somewhere?
