Is setting up some kind of competition, like Pasta Duels, out of the question?

I think the problem with admins selecting several to tag as quality from PotM is you still have people not wanting to read more than two or three at a time. What if the admins would select the best two pastas from the PotM nominees to 'face off' against each other each month or week? From there, the users could decide which is better.

It would eliminate poor quality pastas to have the site-runners selecting the duelers, and still generate exposure by engaging readers in a competition. It also will be less likely to deter users from reading because they have to read through a half dozen nominations. Assuming I'm understanding the way PotM works, it would also minimize additional effort by the staff, but either way I believe the main parts of this idea could work.
