I've got my tickets saved, and been reading here, and what I'm seeing is:

Orchid, Cactace and Camellia are guaranteed to have bride versions brought over and are therefore wasted votes. Therefore, when I splurge my votes at the end (and I'm going for full rewards so I'll have 4k tickets+), vote for whoever will knock those 3 out of the top 3 (and Camellia isn't even an option, so we're safe from the uninformed masses driving her into the top 3)
