Molly was hyped all during rehearsals AND had the pimp slot and still finished 17th so I'm not expecting any higher this time round

[Braden]

It would need to be done if they want to fit the other scoring in though.

This video explains it all, Ross.

Thanks Braden

Ew though, it sounds really strange and unnecessary

Not here for the effort to go and find the televote results

[Headie]

^I've watched that video before and am still clueless

[Firewire]

I don't like it

It's supposed to be a suspenseful way to reveal the winner. It might work, but hopefully if it ends up being anti-climax it'll go back to normal next year.

I don't get why they can't just merge the jury and televotes like previous years?

[Samm]

When's the first semi?

[Firewire]

Tuesday

[Black Dagger]

Only if it stops Sergey. It's ****ing dirge.

[Black Dagger]

I hate how they're only announcing top 10 with televoting. Too much will be going on on screen to take in after some vodkas.

I don't give a **** if they feel humiliated being announced as last place in the televote with 4 points. They signed up for this ****.

[Braden]

Are they only revealing the top 10? This whole thing is such a ridiculous idea then.

With the televote. Jury voting is presented as it is yearly. All 43 before the top 10 are announced one by one. The other 16 just go up on the screen.

[EspeonBB]

I don't know why they didn't just keep the old system? I assume they did this to cut time since last year's show overran but there's so much other stuff they could cut instead (like the million interval acts)

[Firewire]

Axe Jon Ola Sand!

[Braden]

I can't even comprehend that. It sounds like a total mess

I hope it goes back to normal next year.

[Tarryn]

The results are the best part.
Eurovision are trying to change it for idiots whose attention spans don't last 10 minutes.
They are ruining what makes the show special

[Firewire]

The voting is often the best part of the show

[Headie]

Welp if Russia wins I think less Eurovision fans would travel to the event because of how anti-Gay of a place it is

It will be a mess if they win (and they're the favourites so... )

[Josiah.]

I did the maths and there is 2,436 points overall for both the juries and televoting each (2,494 points overall if Romania wasn't forced to withdraw).

[LaLaLand]

Can someone like simplify the new results thing? I'm dopey ha.

Are they still going to be going around every country for their televote results live or no? That's my fav bit

Not the televotes. They're compiled all together. So effectively a country could get 0 jury votes but win the televote with like 320 points and that'd shoot them up into top 5.

[Braden]

Yes but they'll be giving the jury vote instead, and announcing which country got 12 points. 1-8 and 10 will be on the screen.

Then afterwards the televoting is applied.

[LaLaLand]

Ahhhh okay! Gotcha. I'm okay with that I guess!
