I have to say, the reason I went for number one was the anonymity.... at least then it completely rules out past performance and voting for the person instead of the picture.  I don't mean that in a nasty way, just.... well, if you were tied between two pictures and one was someone you like, and the other is someone new or that you aren't as friendly with....well, the friend will always get the vote.  At least anon. entries make it completely fair.
