@matthewprivaten Winner - Finland is likely the jury fave, 3rd in televote. Israel will come first in tele again, 8-10th in jury.
Top 5 - Finland, Israel, Sweden, France, Denmark or Greece.
Italy - top 15, UK/Germany bottom 5
Shock NQ - Australia
You didn't ask but 20m less viewers than in 2025.
@bencsmoke I think he was put in an impossible situation between risking a massive fine and being blacklisted by the BBC and wider media (which would destroy his career) and alienating his fans (destroying his career). I get the sentiment of trying to be a pro-Palestine voice at Eurovision.
@baxterjules7@London_W4 A city shouldn't stop dead on a weekend at 11pm - it makes it feel lifeless. If you want to live in a place with culture then you have to let the nighttime economy breathe.
@MaxxyRainbow They'll make a mealy-mouthed statement about how he was suspected of a crime at the time of disqualification so they made the only decision blah blah. I don't see an actual apology regarding Netherlands coming any time soon.
@OwenJones84@SteveAkehurst But why is the campaign just Olly? He's being singled out and harassed to break his contract, get fined, damage his career, hurt his relationships with the BBC, his agent, and all other host broadcasters. There are other acts. There are decision-makers that are better targets.
