...and that's what happened to Meimi. (btw, hi Murotan) and the referee's name is of a former H!P egg who cries a lot.

This is the first year the cheat has been to my advantage

That's a lot of Sakura votes... o.o

Yes, the curtain was pulled back. It’s a shameful sight. I need some pick me up from the first and fourth H!PS winners.

Team no-MM-victory should vote for Ayumi

[rikkikow]

This could be the last round.

Remember don't look directly into the trap. Karen is in the drivers seat. There is only one person who can take her down. Be aware of the tie vote giving Karen the win. So make sure there is enough votes on Murota so that the clowns behind the curtain can't make a tie. And please don't waste your vote. As they say voting has consequences. Over and out. Good luck to all.

Falsely pointing to a trap can also be the real trap. Don't be too certain that there isn't something else inside those clown costumes or that the clowns behind the curtain are not simply puppets.

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

well f***, Karin's making it to the finals.
It's a defeat for me.
So now I'm gonna help Karin win. >:D

[resop2]

I think it's interesting that two of the three remaining are "if I don't debut soon I will retire" girls.
