Some math for all of you from GameFAQs:

Assuming Tharja gets lets say 650 million votes next hour (a rough average based on the past few hours)

Robin needs 3233.74 million to just tie
He needs 5150.74 million to have a decent shot at winning (9 hours left to go after this one)
And 5817.48 million to push Tharja into a 3x bonus

Robin's strongest hour this whole match was at 9am yesterday, at 3230.20 million. His previous bonus hour was 3037.56 million. Judging from previous data its not expected he will get much more than 3000 million. If Robin performs crazy poorly and ends up getting another bonus hour by the end, the amounts he'll need to win will be even further into the realm of impossibility.

As long as Robin gets within 600 million of a tied score after this, he wont get another bonus hour.

Also according to the numbers: Robin would need another x3 round to have even a faint hope of beating Tharja. And would have to do it without tipping the numbers so much that Tharja gets a bonus hour. Which is a very tiny window.

Robin has basically already lost.

Unsurprising, since the winner was pretty much determined as soon as the roster was first announced.

Pretty much. The fact that the multiplier is active so early sounds like a death flag... And the first hours proved Tharja can take the lead anytime she wants. But apparently people on Team Robin have kept storing flags since then. Maybe that is the little push we need. So don't lose hope yet! IT'S TIPPING THE SCALES O'CLOCK!!!

We still have yet to see what our flags can accomplish. This gauntlet isn't even close to the one-sided affairs that the 1st two were. Both Lucina and Camilla won by margins of 4:1 or more. Tharja's scores per hour haven't even been winning 2:1. It has been pretty consistently 7:4 or 7:5.

Well, comparing the ratio to the two first would be unfair, since the multiplier wasn't there. Who is to say Robin wouldn't be losing with a third of Tharja's score. But I see what you mean. 

Just thinking, but... what if this multiplier wasn't effective enough and we can still have a multiplier in the last hour... Can't discard this possibility.

EDIT: Just saw Tharja is still leading...

The comeback mechanic artificially scales things, though, such that a 4:1 ratio is impossible. The current situation is the equivalent of Tharja easily winning 3:1 under the old system.

Don't give up hope! Tharja had one of her weakest hours yet. Only 450 million for her. Typically she gets 700 million.

Damnit all, I can't keep joining you're team if you're always going to pick losers! In all seriousness, it is disappointing. One of these days the most popular person in the gauntlet will be the person I also like the best. I can't keep striking out. Ephraim, Cordelia, Minerva, Julia, Robin

Guys guys, what's with all the negativity? Seriously, what's up with that? 

Sure, Robin lost, but I had a lot of fun here. We actually had a real final match that lasted as it did. There's nothing to be ashamed of here.

People getting far too overly invested in a silly little side thing?

I find trying to figure out the optimal flag strategy more interesting than trying to push a particular character to victory. Got over 10k last gauntlet, don't think I'm quite pulling that off this time Round 2 was a bit of a crap shoot for me. Thought the x3 would happen more.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but this was hardly a real final match. IS simply obfuscated the numbers with their bandaid comeback mechanic. This match was still the equivalent of sending a toddler in to box Mike Tyson.

Well that's probably true

Robin needed you more! No matter, soon enough we shall have another bonus. I am seriously hoping we get one more!

DONT SPEND YOUR FLAGS SO WE CAN GET LOW FASTER!

This is the time of day where Tharja's scores start to dip. Her score this past hour was her 3rd lowest of the entire gauntlet (only hours 1 and 2 were lower). If we can outscore her with our massive flag spam there is still hope!!

I plan to save my flags as much as I can, but it's getting later here. I want to have them spent before I go to bed ^.^''
