Talk:Trixie and the Illusions/@comment-25270260-20160527015419/@comment-5837525-20160527023402

Insurance to eliminate all potential competition. Chances are Trixie and the Illusions would've won in the semifinals. If the Dazzlings went on to face them in the finals without removing the Rainbooms from play, the Rainbooms would've had free reign to enact whatever plan they had to stop the Dazzings with their magic.

By forcing the Rainbooms to advance to the finals and playing up Trixie's jealousy, the Dazzlings ensured that:
 * 1) Trixie would sabotage the Rainbooms and prevent them from using the magic of friendship
 * 2) The Dazzlings would have the least amount of competition in the finals, and
 * 3) The Rainbooms would be so shaken from having been sabotaged that it would allow the Dazzlings to absorb their magic.
