the 10 of 12 given words:
using 
stepladder (where the winner 
advances and the loser leaves)
adjusting stepping back room
luck thing change board

using the stepladder format provides 
the drama for it flags itself out naturally

it needs no adjusting but just stepping 
back to see the appearance of a fresh 
face as a contender every time 

there is room for luck to interfere 
though but this is a thing expected 
in any competition 

the change of different persons provides 
more excitement as demanded by viewers 
who pay big money for any grandstand 
views with privileges on board

  4. The eye always seeks new, and their is always someone there to exploit that knowledge. "It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye." (not sure where that quote is from, but it seemed appropriate here :)
