I think she is saying that there was a snowball's chance in hell that tink would get the group(s) she went to preference for the year before (and who presumably she had interest in this year). Hey, if you went to my pref and put XO on your bid card last year and then dropped them, then you really didn't want us in the first place so we will drop you like a hot potato this year.
I too was confused but I figured she was imbibing with Earp
