Italy was odds-on in fourth place before the first public points came in, so somebody either had knowledge of the points or predicted they'd do well in the public vote. I must have missed it first time but it probably is one of the best songs. Would be nice if the BBC could have played all of it after 3 hours of coverage!rik wrote: ↑Sat May 22, 2021 11:54 pmWell some people done their homework and knew how many points are given in total and therefore knew that Italy gotten most of the 12s and what was left for the last few. Lot of casual bettors making the price jump around silly on the favourites without reason. Next time will be better prepared!

Why do we even bother entering.
Too much political voting from eastern block, Greece always give Cypus 12 points and vice versa. Finland, Iceland, Denmark and Sweden have ther own little block.
In the past we could rely on Ireland giving us something and since when is Australia in Europe!!!
It is the BBC's way of pandering to the LGBT community and that is what we pay our tv license for.
Since we are no longer in Europe why are we still entering and paying for the humiliation of it.
Can we have a vote in parliment similar to brexit to get out of this shit!!!
It is utter Tripe!!!
N.B i'm starting my own political party "The Fuck Eurovision Party"
My agenga is simple,
"Let's Keep Britain Great"
or has that already been used by Nigel Farage, lol
although obviously not in Eurovision

Yep, that. The E.U. block making some sort of statement for sure.MemphisFlash wrote: ↑Sun May 23, 2021 6:47 am

The Switzerland singer seemed to think he'd won it after the jury's vote, couldn''t stop yapping. When the camera zoomed in after the Italy public vote came in, he realised it was all over.
My strategy for next year will be to lay the Jury vote leader, before the public vote is announced.

Hard to say Eastern Bloc voting had a huge impact!

You have to take it for what it is - it's not really a serious song competition.MemphisFlash wrote: ↑Sun May 23, 2021 6:47 amWhy do we even bother entering.

It's funny that Greece and Cyprus still do that.
As for the UK entry, well it deserved no points. It was abysmal. Must have been sour Remainers behind that, determined to make us look bad in Europe!
We are still in Europe geographically.MemphisFlash wrote: ↑Sun May 23, 2021 6:47 amSince we are no longer in Europe why are we still entering and paying for the humiliation of it.
I've never taken it seriously but after watching it last night it was almost like watching the World Cup final.
