Analysis:

Well there ain’t much to say really. To be honest I laughed when I saw this because it’s not exactly a true reflection of what will really happen.

We all know that this will change completely by the time the final votes are tallied. I actually had fun watching the more “srs business” fans piss their pants on social media and forums over placements of certain girls in the list.

There are probably 2 things that the list that might be foreshadowing something. First, Takajo Aki’s ranking might be pretty accurate and it could be a wake up call to kind of stop being a be-otch about her JKT placement and be more like Nakagawa & embrace it.

Second, Sashihara Rino taking center nova does not seem out of the realistic realm of possibilities and if she does indeed garner enough votes; taking #1 would be rather refreshing.

Other than that? Meh. It is what it is for initial results. Best to wait until the actual event for the shock and awe of it all.
