Yuuko, Chieri and the others are so confused because they are pushed around by S4 and the kiraras. And the worst is that they don't even know what is the standard S4 and kirara use to select the girls, so they don't know what to do to be more successful.
These idols are going blind because, besides being really arbitrary their "management" is shrouded in mystery.

LOL but even if the fans vote for senbatsu and have certain say in the process, the management still decide the line up for the rest of the year.... :| Sato Amina was voted 8th for Iiwake and is a fan favorite but barely get promoted. The management still push whoever they want, like Kaoru Mitsumune who can't even make it into the 64th senbatsu, tho considering Kaoru image, it's probably much better to promote AKB mainstream with an ex-model anyway.
I agree about the idols in the anime not knowing what's going on but the real AkiP is pretty troll-ish so no wonder S4 is this unpredictable character.
