Code written in #python3
people = ["A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J"]
def do(list):
    list.append(list.pop(0)) #Turn the first person over to the last
    list.pop(0) #killing one person
showing = []
while not len(people) == 1:
    do(people)
    showing = people.copy() # Copy to show
    showing.sort() #aligning
    print(showing)

# The result
['A', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J']
['A', 'C', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J']
['A', 'C', 'E', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J']
['A', 'C', 'E', 'G', 'I', 'J']
['A', 'C', 'E', 'G', 'I']
['A', 'E', 'G', 'I']
['A', 'E', 'I']
['E', 'I']
