A good example I can think of is the haircut thing. We knew by then a haircut of some sort WOULD happen, but no one knew WHEN. And aside from speculation it may happen because of contest loss (amongst wider speculation of what could be a reason for that), no one pinned it for sure happening at the end of the contest loss. The thread and streams for sure blew up when they realized it was happening.
