Agreed.

Perhaps there's more internal divisions within the Saki faction than what I had thought. Maybe a significant number of Saki faction voters want either Saki or Nodoka to win it all, and hence realize that now's the time to turn on Toki (or, at the very least, cease supporting her and just abstain from voting entirely).

Should Louise prevail in a low-total vote Quarterfinal match, the only other plausible alternative I can see is Saki faction voters simply being asleep at the wheel. But that would make the Saki faction seem much more incompetent than what you'd expect them to be given where we are now with 6 out of 8 quarterfinal spots belonging to Saki girls.


So yeah, I like your thinking, should Louise pull off an upset.
