For me the break is a smart move, one purpose of the whole thing is to stimulate the creativity and the competition of the whole group trying to pull out the best by everyone, if less and less people does it it's better take a step back and try to understand what's more useful to the group. As Dave and Dan said most people need to focus more on the basics prior taking such difficult tasks.
All challenges where great, I started all, finished few and learned a lot from my errors. The Zelda one was too difficult to me, I tried to push myself too far from where I am now and the result was so bad that I felt frustrated. It will remain unfinished in a deeeeeep sub sub directory in an external hd, hidden to myself :) I think other people have felt this way and found the whole thing too demanding.
The good thing about this is that now I know what I need to do, lots and lots of composition exercises and loose drawings.
I don't think the re-makes were a big deal, only 2 of 7. And wasn't simple fan-art but a request that you may face in a real client commission.
Bloodsport in the future? I think the interest must be rebuilded doing parallel activities.
Maybe a simple stop will help, maybe it's a natural selection, just fewer and fewer people have the constancy to continue so you have to advertise the event to increase the daggers and keep fresh people coming in, or maybe you should take note that 10-20-30 people are enough for a challenge.
