I hope she does. But if she ends up like she did at COR again, it's simply impossible. Judges may help her with PCS and GOE though.
If she ends up off the podium, what would they do? If Mao comes in 4th, AND if Yukari, Fumie, or Akiko do really well, they may leave Mao home. If Mao is off the podium and the other two girls other than Miki on the podium do just okay, then they may make some excuses for Mao.
If Mao comes in 5th, I feel that she should be left home so that we won't repeat what happened with Miki.
