I'm thinking it's possible that they may be doing an ending mini-comic and the item first before announcing who won. Easter doesn't normally get a plot to it period so we're lucky we got that much. XD
As for the survival of this thread... Easter might be over, but we aren't done yet. As I've said multiple times earlier, if Diedrich won (which I think is extremely likely) the Easter Bunny pretty much loses his holiday. There's no reason why he can't start appearing elsewhere, and we can be there to voice our wishes to the staff. Although it doesn't necessarily mean it will happen, we can still try. Meanwhile, Diedrich will end up staying in Easter. That's really not a bad deal.
