It's too bad there isn't any other Final Fantasy 3 characters in this contest, because I'd really like to reaffirm my hypothesis that it's impossible for any of them to get a good picture some more.

That's a given (unless you're talking about Mog). The Amano art just does not work. Also, very few of the characters are in the FMV sequences so that's another strike against the FF6 characters.
BTW, Zelda is the first character to ever garner 100,000+ votes for herself. Sure Carmen is uber-fodder but it's still quite a feat.

Finally...it looks like a match where I'll finally get 47+ points since Rikku/Lenneth. KOS-MOS has a very strong night vote, and Amy has a very good day vote, the percentage might end up 5 percent or so lower in the end for KOS-MOS.

If KOS-MOS can get down to around 67% with the day vote I guess I'll do alright. Maybe I'll do better with the male bracket.

Go Amy, own that after-school vote and get KOS-MOS down to low 65s... enough so I win the oracle AND spread betting! If it actually happened, I'd have a 5-day average near 49 (which I'm sure isn't a record or anything, but it still feels nice averaging a 10-place gain per day).

If there's one thing I've learned... is that the first hour of voting tells you little more than the 10% range the %'s might fall within. I wouldn't worry about individual changes in % for a while, and on the weekend voting peaks at noon.
This is a graph of votes per hour in the Tifa/Ivy match last week:
