The host carefully opened the list. Seeing the final rankings, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes, followed by a mysterious smile as he looked up at the camera.
"Dear viewers, what I have in my hands is the final ranking of the top nine contestants of Shining Star. First, I will announce ninth through sixth place..."
The host built up the suspense as he read out the names for sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth place, leaving the top five yet to be announced.
"Next, I'll announce fourth place. Ivan Webb, in fourth place, with a total of 7.3 million votes."
"In fifth place, with a total of 7.12 million votes, is Zachary Winston."
"And now for the exciting part! Third place, with a total of 8.45 million votes, is without a doubt the adorable and talented duo, Hayden Carson and Leo Lynch!"
So, the C-position would be decided between Leonard Bishop and Liam Linden.
Claire Sinclair felt like her heart was about to leap out of her chest. 'It's finally time!'
