Kai's Procrastination

So I haven't been voting. I feel really bad. It's pretty sad actually. But around the time I started this post, I did check the results so far... and something caught my eye.

Sengoku Nadeko is in...



SECOND. PLACE.

Wait, whaaaat?! Yes, Nadeko is in 2nd place as of the end of Round 3! She is currently UNDEFEATED at this moment. She went from 10th place in Round 1, jumped 8 places in the second round by narrowly defeating Konata, and is still holding 2nd place after Round 3, right after Mikoto, who is now breathing a sigh of relief as she takes place at the top again after a crummy time in the Sapphire Period. The holder of the Emerald Necklace from 2009 happens to be Suiseiseki, a character that didn't make it into the Final 50 from prelims. 2008 holder was Kagami Hiragi, but personally, I don't see her coming from 12th place this year to take the necklace back.

There are 2 people in the top 10 of the Emerald Period that have caught my eye and may make a few surprising upsets this Period: Sengoku Nadeko and Nakano Azusa. Nadeko obviously because she is in 2nd place, and could possibly grab a necklace out of the hands of Mikoto. As for Azusa, she placed a close 3rd place in the Sapphire Period, and throughout the whole Sapphire Period, she NEVER dropped out of the top 5. That is an amazing feat, and so far, she is showing the same exact pattern this period. If she keeps this up, she may snatch up the necklace as well!

I can't wait to see what these two ladies will do this period. It's just as exciting as the USA vs Slovenia World Cup game. Man that was nerve racking! But hey, they tied; all USA needs is a win to move up. And all Nadeko and Azusa need are wins, wins, wins, and maybe, JUST MAYBE, they can get the Emerald Necklace.
