The Official H!PS XIV Discussion Thread

[jeiwa42]

It's not really that I voted by accident, it's more like, I always liked their combi, and not thinking about that, and thinking of them individually, I guess I don't like them as much as the others, at which point I voted for each of them, and then realized I voted for a combo I liked, haha

But yeah, I got that you cant change votes, cause the polls havent allowed for that since day 1 and it'd kinda be odd otherwise haha And also the no edit thing says a lot about being careful, too.

WHY IS EVERYONE VOTING FOR DUU AND NOT KARIN!?!?!

[resop2]

Another round in the books and the tension in the groups race is becoming overwhelming. With no
groups yet eliminated, six groups hang on by one member, a different member each.

This year Morning Musume might become a non-factor as their numbers keep dwindling.

Now it is crunch time as we get down to the point where many of the remaining participants
have only gotten one or none votes per round so far. Something will have to give!

I think they're voting Duu cause she has a chance to win but others don't want her to. Karin on the other hand seems not likely to win(?) so they can keep her around until the time is necessary?

Or, at least, that's what this wookie thinks is going on lol

[Celedam]

And the wookie is correct.

It's always funny when the reality of H!PS finally hits people.

[rikkikow]

I told you that Haruka will never ever win a H!PS ever.
She had her chance and blew it the infamous "kick" year.

Spoiler: show

Haruka reflects on her H!PS future and contemplates retirement after two disappointing years.

[jeiwa42]

So...she's retiring to become a fairy/goddess of some sort?

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

See, I get that that's what they're doing....
but doing it to haruka is cruel. There are so many other options for people to kick off. >:C
The fact people hate haruka... IT'S THE REASON WHY SHE'S CONTEMPLATING LEAVING MORNING MUSUME! >:C
(didn't actually happen.)
