That's why I don't get why people didn't jump on board. If two people are insanely popular and great at stars, unless you're there #2 or you need them as a shield, it always benefits you to nominate them first, as it eliminates one of the big threats way off the bat. There are exceptions, but it is almost the go-to strategy in stars. Or used to be.
For round 1 I am Providing you Typhlosion and Andalarew (attempted) for reasons of personal bias. I feel as they are a threat to my game and a threat to the stars house as a whole
