* Put the rows into a fixed-height container so that the size of the page doesn't keep jumping as the images load.
* After the second page or so, I found it too annoying to skim such a large list of images, so I just picked one and hit "next". Maybe only show a random subset of the pictures to every user to reduce overwhelmingness, or do it facemash/hotornot/cubeduel style and do 2 at a time.
* Bonus points if you can make all the images somewhat larger (maybe 50%) and the same sizes (by cropping with the face centered).
Overall, I applaud you for your effort. Unfortunately I can't imagine this having any longevity after the next week or two. Which doesn't necessarily make it a waste of time, some things are just worth doing for the sake of doing. :)
All good points, though your last one kind of negates the motivation I feel to implement your suggestions :)
I do mix up the order a bit to make sure people at the end don't get neglected. But people in the middle probably have fate set against them. Poor middle panelists :(
I'm very happy wasting the amount of time it took. ;)

Quick suggestions for improvement, design-wise:
