Reasons for winning
Pharmacy - During her whole life, Pharmacy wasn't smart enough to develop true friends. She never cared about anyone on Earth, and cared about glory and money more than family and friends, and even though she barely believes this, she is willing to change. If she survives the Selection Hunger Games, she espects true love from the prince to save her, thus saving her life and conscience. If she wins, form the victory day forward she will be much more of a caring and significant person. Her snob-ishness might take a while to disappear, but she will fight with urge to be a better person and forget the things she've been through once for all, and be happy with the prince forever.

Bluebella - Bluebella applied for the selection under her aunt's rule, saying that she need to try and find true love by herself, not waiting for lovers to come from all the directions with roses and jewelry on a silver platter, like she always pictured. If she wins, she won't just expand and have resources for her medical research, but she will finallyy get attention from her parents, and most of all, a lover willing to sacrifice himself for her.

Melina - Melina always had trust issues. Upon entering the selection, she just wanted to get away from her deceased ex-boyfriend's family, always cursing her and wishing her death, unable to believe their son had raped her. She wants to win mostly to prove herself that she can earn love and respect from others, and she will do it by having a kind and delicate husband: Prince Alexander.

Ponia - Ponia wants to win to give a better life not just for herself, but for her parents, and she is willing to do anything to see a smile on their faces again. Ponia also wants to win for the crown, for the honor and respect she would receive form the country if she managed to win the selection Hunger Games.

Cleopatra - Cleopatra has no interest in receiving love. She never really needed lovers to feel good, as she prefers being feared over than being adored. She applied for the Selection determined to win giving her best shot, sure she won't fail. She said for weeks that she would make it to the selection and win, and even if people said she wouldn't do it, she doesn't care, because "it's called confidence, weak assholes!".
