First, I would like to take this time to thank those of you who have taken the time to mark items you have seen after each cull. I know we all understand that feeling of not knowing how well our item is doing, or even if it still exists and hasn't been quietly DQ'd or something. Being able to see that my item is still in the running after the 4th cull is a tremendous feeling of pride for me, so I hope you can accept my humble appreciations.
Having said that, I think it's also time that I mention:
That it's clear my brilliance and sheer scope of vision is going to carry my item straight into the Top 32. The past years of not making the 1st cull were clearly the result of incompetence (on your end), at least from the majority of you. For those who did see the genius, you also failed me by not voting enough.
This will be the year when, despite all your wishes, I take control of the inner workings of Pathfinder and mold it into a new form! A new era where you worms feel the iron heel of my boot as adventures and maps weed out sissy weaklings and entitled whiners! Also, speaking of wishes they'll be twisted...
Don't worry, I am still leaving room for 31 of you to find a place in my mighty shadow, not unlike comely maidens in filigree slave-girl outfits. Filigree is still in this year, right? Doesn't matter, it will be with me in charge; filigree battle-maps, filigree haunts, filigree traps... Actually it's... starting to not even look or sound like a real word anymore the more I say it.
So, in closing, best of luck to all of you in your scrambling for slots 2 - 32.

For those who like watching the numbers, here are a few interesting tidbits so far:
Overall the culls have been very even in terms of item type. If you projected the Top 32 strictly in terms of percentage of field, the only thing that would have changed between initial submissions and post-4th cull is that the Top 32 would have one fewer Eye slot Wondrous Item and one more Hand slot Wondrous Item.
That said, there have been some outliers in terms of survival percentage, and I've listed them below, marked with an asterisk if the initial population was <10.
Overall survival percentage of 44.48%
High Survival:
Wondrous Item - Feet: 90%
Shield: 86.67%
Wondrous Item - Belt: 72.73%
Wondrous Item - Chest: 66.67%*
Low Survival:
Wondrous Item - Eyes: 26.67%
Wondrous Item - Headband: 25%*

It looks like we might have another stealth cull. Do we want to start using the fifth cull column as a prospective cull column?
It's too soon to declare a stealth cull. It's very common to not have all items reported as seen by this time of day. If we find out later there was one, it's pretty easy to populate Cull Column 5.

From the original submissions, the survival rate of item types past the third cull is:
Oooh... Chest as in 'upper torso'. I was somehow reading chest as 'large box', and was confused, since I didn't even know that was a slot.... /facepalm

If you guys don't know what that is you should start reading Discworld.

Not unless I am too. (A valid possibility.)
As "spacious" as necessary, and offers storage space? :D

Changes color and texture to match any outfit; transforms into a bathing suit on command; uses mimic adhesive to maintain support without straps in situations where straps are unwanted...
I may have submitted the wrong item this year.

Will there be a way to get the writeup of your item back? I had a bit of a harddrive crash recently and realized I never bothered saving my item on the cloud. Sadly, it was culled the first round, apparently.
There isn't an offiical way to get to your item.
Your best bet is sending Feros a private message.
He kept the texts of each item he voted on.

A deal so good, you can't let go! 5 out of 5 stars.

Can someone explain what, if anything, some of the things signify? I notice that some of the cells are shaded green, others gold, others left unshaded. I'm guessing that having an X in the row underneath the culls means it's still in. Anything else I'm missing?
Colors simply relate to whoever changed the cell last, I believe. And yes, if there's an X in the cull column, that means it was seen after the cull, on the day specified in the cell to the left.
