Seriously, I think you're just cheating the statistics at this point. :)
Nah, statistics say I should last 3-4 rounds on average.

The funny thing about the statistics though is that every time you win, you can reset your statistics, since you have added information.

So, now that I know I've gotten through the first 2 rounds, statistics still say I should last 3-4 rounds after this, so now my expected value is 5-6 rounds. There's a brain bender for you =P The math all works out though.

Only because it is a random draw that has no exclusions. You reuse your numbers, they reuse theirs, and combined your odds from any arbitrary starting point are always the same, whereas your odds in the overall scheme of things adjusts on a curve.

Would the statistics change or not if we were able to choose new numbers for each round? My layman's opinion is that it would be the same odds. It would, however, be a royal headache for Chris and Joe. ;)

Can someone clarify for me the "rules"? Is it correct that in each round everyone that gets at least one number moves on to the next round? Unless there are only three (or less) people with numbers and then they each get a purple? Then everyone is back in (except the winners) and it starts over?

Chris and Joe are the only ones that can give you the definitive answer. If you want my opinion, I think you've got it right.
