Eurovision 2022

[Lord Camomile]

Basically every country gave them 12 points.

Aye, pretty much.

 

[ginger_syn]

Fingers crossed for second place uk

 

[onenameshelley]

Seriously, if we were to beat 'em now we'd look shiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Yeah I thought that earlier.

 

[quimcunx]

Omg. Just switched on. Have they changed how they do it?

 

[Lord Camomile]

That is quite the drop off from the jury vote.

 

[quimcunx]

Thank God we didn't steal it from ukraine.

Can you imagine if we won it after all these years in the hinterland and were still hated for taking this from ukraine.

 

[ginger_syn]

Well done sam. And the Ukraine

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fuck me, that was an incredible unison announcement from the hosts!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Putin stole Eurovision from us

 

[tommers]

Always what was going to happen. 2nd is amazing.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Second. That's great.

 

[ginger_syn]

That was fun , thanks .

 

[Bingoman]

Second long time maybe next year

 

[Saffy]

I enjoyed that so much this year!

 

[ElizabethofYork]

Yes, that was great. Thanks for your company everyone x

 

[Lord Camomile]

The top of the leaderboard looks like it's in reverse alphabetical order.

 

[May Kasahara]

This could be the thing that turns the tide, I mean Putin will have to stop shelling long enough for them to host next year's Eurovision.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Second though!

 

[strung out]

I agree, I don't like this method of announcing the results. It makes the jury votes kind of pointless.

How is it pointless? The same number of votes are available from the jury vote as the public vote.

 

[friendofdorothy]

Oo that was a surprise!


(Don't mention the war)

 

[onenameshelley]

Ooh I am all a bit happy teary here its all the love and absolutely not the gin

 

[souljacker]

So it's not a song contest, it's a 'been invaded by someone we all hate recently?' contest.

 

[Epona]

How is it pointless? The same number of votes are available from the jury vote as the public vote.

Just the way it is announced/presented.

Each jury vote is announced and we are told who gets the 12 from each jury.

Then the public vote is announced as a block for each entrant.

The announcement/breakdown of results could be done differently perhaps, so that they are both presented in the same way.

 

[AverageJoe]

Would have been nice if Sam had hugged the Ukrainian band after their win.

And maybe just joined them on stage in solidarity

They used to do it country by country and it was boring cos you knew who had won waaay before the end.

Absolutely not, it's their stage not his and that would have looked well odd. Who does that?

Trouble is if we did that we'd be about halfway through the public vote by this point.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Also that, forgot that.

 

[D'wards]

I reckon we'll host next year, or else they'll have spruce up a bunker

 

[Lord Camomile]

Absolutely not, it's their stage not his and that would have looked well odd. Who does that?

Aye, could see where the sentiment would come from, but ultimately it would almost certainly not go down well at all.

As you say, their stage, their moment. There'll be plenty of space for other displays of solidarity.
