Yes, but I've even noticed the same type of icon in this project tend to get the most votes. Similar colouring, similar cropping, I don't know what it is.
I think you're seeing the effect of a loyal core of voters. As people are eliminated, a lot of them drop out of voting. We have a few folks such as you who vote every time. Beeej put out a call in her LJ, too, for additional voters. We've had at least 5 new-to-us voters since then and I can guarantee you their opinions have been running counter to the typical vote in the group.
I think if I could better diversify the voting pool beyond participants, most especially a problem as the round progresses, that we would see a different mix of winners based more on which group (icon makers vs. non) was better represented in any particular week rather than such a strong trend to sameness. One of the reasons I love the Alternates post so much is I'll make a handful of icons each time. One will be "LIMS worthy," that is, I like it and I think it's esoteric enough to be safe and then I'll make a bunch of icons I like but are too "pedestrian" or simple for LIMS.
FRACKLES?!?!?!? *shudder* That's just plain wrong.
