Okay, now that most of the weak sisters have been culled out of the competition, we can get down to the serious business of true moe.

Shana vs. Izumi from Hayate... Advantage here is all Shana. Izumi's still a very minor character, despite her one episode a few weeks ago, and Shana's new series just got rolling (apparently, with a recap, but at least it's fresh in the mind.) The Hayate voting block hasn't really been voting as a block in the last few, so I expect them to save it for Nagi.

Konoka vs. CC? Interesting if close (and likely futile). Konoka's moe is rather unusual - in a sea of paper-thin one-dimensional Negima characters, she's a fairly ordinary girl with an extra dose of nice. Okay, yes, magic and all, she's not the girl next door, but by contrast she ends up seeming that way. A little bit of traditional fan service doesn't hurt either, though it's pretty tame by Akamatsu standards. CC, on the other hand, is just plain mean; not so much "prickly" as "rapier". She's not there to BE moe, she's there to kick some ass, even if it's Lelouch's. Advantages are nice proportions, good comedy, and appetite for fine brand-named pizza. Swanning around in an open straitjacket makes for an interesting wardrobe choice, if you're in to that sort of thing. CC has a bit of a vote advantage, so given no obvious moe imbalance, I'll have to lean towards predicting the round for her, but it could still go the other way too.
