I agree with Buff. Kaori wasn't doing anything with any malicious intentions or scheming. She was doing it because she couldn't accept it herself, not because she wanted to force the band into a second audition. There was little she could do in that situation. Attacking the people who are concerned for you, especially if you aren't in a position of responsiblity to do so (Prez, VP), is not a good idea socially.

Asuka is clearly two-faced. I don't blame her though. Everyone is like that. You just have to go with the flow sometimes. Even strong people cannot survive when they turn everyone against them, and showing her evil self to everyone would do just that.

Reina's thigh slapping tantrum was the best thing in this episode.
