I think it's safe to say that none of them would get to #1 or top 20 if not for at least one whale, it's just how it works. Unless your tipping yourself to top 20 (""cough, cough"" Kati) And now the whales created an enviroment where the girls know they don't have to put in an effort. It's not on them it's mostly on the room members who keep going back for nothing. A lot of those rooms should just be the model and her 1-2 whales alone for the amount of effort put in. If it was a large group or a small group nickel and dime tipping models the top 20 would be making way less, outside of just the bonus they get.
