Personally i don't like this episode. While it is interesting to see that the anime's story seems to be combining parts from Isara's, Michiru's and Chisato's routes, i felt that this episode was trying to rush everything for the finale.
Unlike the previous episodes in which you couldn't exactly guess which heroine Yuuki will end up with, this episode completely ruins that by throwing the viewer with all the obvious hints related to Chisato.
Eventhough i actually said in one of my previous posts :"The best that i can think of is the anime can shrug it off as Yuuki never noticing Satsuki's feelings.", i didn't actually think that they actually did that in such an inconvincing way...

Thoughts on anime Episode 9, speculation on 10
:
They really did just left it totally unresolved (even calling out the whole point of that contest but reverting to the status quo), while the whole rest of the episode really pushes things hard towards Chisato, from the pre-OP (her calling him "Daiki" by accident -- or did she? -- was an interesting way of illustrated it) right to the pre-ED cliffhanger. The whole episode was almost more focused on increasing Yuuki's "harem" (if you want to look at it that way), until it came to a "crashing halt" (literally). If he does end up with Chisato romantically now, it's almost less because he had to make his own choice, but because the plot forced him into it with that "accident" (the next episode preview ruined the suspense completely...) that will trigger Chisato's trauma and force things to be resolved. I'm not really sure that I like that approach, as I would have preferred to have Yuuki make an actual deliberate choice one way or another. All of the events were foreshadowed, but the way they're connecting them just seems quite forced, particularly here.
The scenes at the end of the preview seem very clearly to be a very obvious scene from Chisato's route. I too have to agree that the die is cast now... but I'm not terribly thrilled by the turn.
