Talk:Episode 49 - To Become the Number One Star!/@comment-24848025-20170322014418/@comment-24848025-20170323033628

I don't think 3 inserts is necessarily bad considering the closing episode for the Starlight Queen Cup went without a Opening sequence. This might be the episode that may drop both the Opening and Ending songs in favor of more episode time, especially since both the OP & ED songs would still be used as inserts. Next episode would be about shuffling Hime, Tsubasa, and Yozora out the door (though from what we seen from season 2, Hime isn't going that far.)

That said, Budget is more the reason I don't think they'll go the tie route and just end it with either a Yume or Hime win.

EDIT - I think if they do tie, they will do a tiebreaker because it wouldn't be Aikatsu otherwise to just leave it a tie and I would think both Yume & Hime wouldn't want it to end that way.
