Eurovision 2022

[funkstar]

The sympathy vote for Ukraine is not coming in that strong.

Sympathy for the buttocks, though...

[PFVA]

Thank you Ukraine for the 10 points.

[PFVA]

UK leading.

[Istar]

WTF is happening?

[Misfit]

I know it will all go horribly wrong once the public are involved, but WOW!

Seeing us top is just bizarre.

[funkstar]

Norway is getting utterly robbed, here.

[KlaxonCow]

Norway is getting utterly robbed, here.

I mean, yes, it's a slightly silly song but it is actually a good song (and better than most of this ballad crap tonight).

Maybe the juries are worried that it's a mockery of a song, as it's not serious, and are put off. But, ah, the public vote won't give a shit about that... so things might get more interesting later.

[PFVA]

I like the hat of the Latvian presenter.

[Misfit]

Did France just give us 12?!

[KlaxonCow]

Did France just give us 12?!

Yes, I know.

I think I need to go lie down. Both Germany and France gave the UK 12 points!

[NorthWay]

I was kinda sad that Circus Mirkus didn't go on from the semi-finals. They were proper ESC weird.

[PFVA]

Now for the popular vote

[Misfit]

Well, that's helped our average score a bit!

Does this mean that it's not all political voting and we've just been really **** in the past?

Obviously, it's political/block voting, but clearly, a decent song can make a difference.

[funkstar]

That's where the sympathy vote was, then. Just hiding in public.

[Misfit]

Well there was only ever second to play for wasn't there?
