Top to bottom in one move!

[RoverAndOut 4,058]

5 POINTS!!! This feels like it could go on for ages, there's not much between these and we all like different ones. Hope we don't end up with "round fatigue" though, and end up just downvoting whatever's bottom to get it finished.

[TQR 13,376]

I’ve only just decided, after much deliberation, what I’m going to downvote next. It’s a really solid top-5 and the fact there’s next to fuck all in it at this stage shows that. No rushing this one through. Back your choice to the last. Game on!

I don't really have a favourite here, and there's only one I dislike.

[time 8,189]

I have a favourite, but don't dislike any of them. I do consider one weaker than te other four, but wouldn't be too disappointed if it won.
