In previous years, the champion always seemed to be predetermined by the Empire, with no surprises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, people had lost the patience to watch, just tuning in for the semi-finals to cast a vote and be done with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year was different. In anticipation of a reversal, everyone was following each episode closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though no such reversal had happened yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was fine. There were still two rounds left.
