To expand on previous points, you can compensate for a predictable elimination order by being inventive in other ways.

For example, my magnum opus is the ultimate in predictability: it merely retells the canon story arc from Season 1, so EVERYONE knows in advance EVERYTHING that will happen. People read it, though, because I do that retelling in an inventive new way.
