Looks like the real ones are actually 1-2-2-1. The file names of the samples end in either "gt" or "gen", which kinda gives it away.

I thought the same thing initially -- I guess it fooled a few of us with that first one!

I thought the first one was the clearest once you've read that the synthesised voice attempts to guess which words should be stressed from syntax: sentences beginning with the word "that" often should stress "that" because they're distinguishing that choice from some other, but probably not for this particular instance where it's an off hand reference to some girl from some video...
