The Official H!PS XIV Discussion Thread

[sb]

Now to discuss something serious.

This is footage of Uta Shimamura's contract negotiations. The topic is Miss Shimamura's participation in H!PS.

I would like to warn fans that this footage may have an impact on your opinion of all the parties involved. So viewer discretion is advised.

Sorry for being so cute.

Haruka's legs have definitely grown longer but not enough to win a H!PS IMHO.

I had a feeling that is how it really played out.. I'm happy Uta dealt with it like an adult..

What can I say she's a dancer.

Group A is the only one up for grabs as Maria and Risa pretty much have their Groups locked up.

I'll be at work when the polls close so there will be a bit of a delay. I'm really considering pairing up two members like I did last year for the next Round, since barring a tie, there will be 20 girls left.

The intact group battle has ended in a tie between last year's winner ODATOMO and Peaberry when the dirty old man and the tyrant got voted out.

MM.'15 hangs on to the team lead by a thread (61% to 55%).

So far, in just four rounds 30 pairings have been negated. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.

Why the fuck is Karin still in this. Seriously you guys. wtf.

[resop2]

Because Karin is a perfect angel who does not deserve to be kicked off of some stinking island.

(Of course, all of the H!P members are perfect angels except for <insert the name of your
favorite idol here> who smells funny and should have been spared the humiliation by not
being allowed on the island in the first place.) This parenthetical comment was
