the reason we came 5th two years ago was because we threatened to pull out because we was unfairly finishing in the bottom 5 every year when sometimes we should have won it.

and considering we put the most money in the damn thing,they was scared **** of us pulling out.

According to wiki: "Since 2000, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Spain have automatically qualified for the Eurovision final, regardless of their positions on the scoreboard in previous Contests.[33] They earned this special status by being the four biggest financial contributors to the EBU (without which the production of the Eurovision Song Contest would not be possible)"

I guess that's what he's talking about

I always thought the hosting country had to pay for it, that was always a running joke here when we kept winning (see Fr,Ted episode ) .........though I don't claim to be a Eurovision expert

I think they pay for the hosting costs with the venue and stuff but not any broadcasting costs or something I really dont know tbh
