Every once in a while a mid-tier girl will beat a tier one girl for seemingly no reason (Ayu beating Nagato Yuki in one of the first years). Or the steady pacing of Tomoyo going from the 7th new entry girl to fighting for first place against Fate (before the finals).

Part of the reason for this is by the design. If underdog factions gives up easily, we won't be able to sustain the growth in voter number ISML has enjoyed for 6 straight years. Therefore, much of my studies and simulation remains devoted to how best to give out some rewards to the weaker characters while still letting the dominant girls make themselves felt.
