OZEKI WILL DETERMINE THE FAITH OF THIS COMPETITION.

Omg. Will it happen?

It was a wild ride and a real nail biter, but the inverse round ends with only one elimination (at one point it appeared that up to six would be eliminated).

So, the campaign of Country Girls ends but they had a really surprisingly strong showing. Ozeki Mai says "Gomen ne" one more time.

The most disappointing thing is the next Round probably won't be as exciting.

We'll take a break before we start up the next poll. Maybe another reverse vote...
.

Date Shimai is still in one piece.

crap that was intense. Happy my Daishi isn't gone. <3

but then again Karin isn't either... so....

So pissed at myself because karin would have only had 3 votes right now.
>.<

This round was almost legendary. Instead my second fave to win got elimated. Oh well. Country Girls did surprisingly well considering how new groups usually do.

My allegiance now switches to Meimi I think, or possibly Rikako, though supporting Karin is really tempting.

While my alligence will forever be on Sakura's side, the fact I don't want to see another Musume win H!PS means I'll need to be making some tough choices soon. She's not long for this game with the cards stacked against her and it's clear Ayumi is a Stronger player compared to her so if anyone else out there wants to see a non Musume win. You know what to do. Or not, I'm half asleep while I write this. Back to sleep I go.

so when's the next one start? :3

I forgot a pairing in the leaders list. Oda Sakura and Ishida Ayumi are the "Friend-imies".

So this means that no matter who gets eliminated this round you are breaking up a pairing.

Some reminders on what you will be heartlessly killing:
