Eurovision!

[Humdingerydoo]

Anyone watching? Any thoughts? I quite liked Switzerland!

I don't like Loreen or her songs but she must have some seriously impressive core muscles!

Utterly outraged! How did Finland not do better?? 🥹🥹🥹

Well done Eden, she did brilliantly!

Interesting to see the UK televote gave the 12 points to Israel

Isn’t it? I’d be interested to see a breakdown of all the public vote point allocations because that was a huge increase.

@Humdingerydoo we were obviously in the minority regarding Finland- I guess some (ok, most) people just don’t recognise visionary genius when they see it.

Wonder how the jury would have voted if she had been in last year's contest. She could well have won. Glad she ended up in the top 5 though, for her sake.

My God the UK - feel terrible for that Olly but FFS 😂

Nil points!

Were we the only country to get a bit fat 0? Skills.

No, I'm not accepting it. This is why I hate people, they never know how to vote (see: Trump and also Brexit).

I demand a recount!

I believe so. He definitely deserved more! Poor guy. But at least he's from a country that will make fun of the situation rather than make fun of him :)

In the public vote, yes. Embarassing. The judges were kinder, so not bottom of the board.

It’s a travesty!

At the end of the day, at least he'll always be remembered for his incredible performance in It's A Sin and not Eurovision 2024! 🙈

@Humdingerydoo The real winners. Stay classy Finland.

My ❤️ belongs to Finland ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Such a sexy beast. It's the socks and sandals for me. Gets me every time

Also, hilarious for marking it as sensitive content 😂😂

OMG! 😂

Exactly what Eurovision should be about

Windows 95 t-shirt ✔
Alan Partridge hotpants ✔
Jesus sandals and white socks ✔
Hair like Super Noodles ✔
Nuts out ✔

Fair play!

Never felt prouder at a 5th placing, well done Eden! Talented, strong amazing role model.

Thank goodness for this board as the telly Eurovision thread is a really horrid read..

I missed it! Did Israel really come 5th??? That's amazing. I swear the anti Israel crowd are noisy but not as numerous as they think they are.

The "other" Eurovision thread is awful, I really need to unfollow it as I see I've missed about 100 posts on there which I won't be catching up on!

It's awful but it's also helpful as a lot of people are really showing their true colours by loudly defending bullies and alleged threatening behaviour 🤦🏻‍♀️ Hopefully they'll look back at some of the nonsense they've said and realise how far down the batshit crazy hole they've fallen. Maybe they'll reign it in?! Stranger things have happened, such as Finland not doing well in Eurovision 2024. Not that I'm still bitter or obsessing about it.

😂 I don't have a suitable emoji for the Finnish entry 😅

Yes really helpful. It's on full display now and they're not going to reign it in.

I sense there's quite a lot of Jewish women (and allies) on those threads that don't know this board exists and could probably do with some respite over here, but I don't particularly want to advertise it because interlopers!

Have you booked your next holiday to Finland? @Humdingerydoo

I'm genuinely going to Finland with my family for half term 😂😂😂😂😂

(Unrelated to Eurovision though, I promise!)

😂😂😂 Don't believe you - bet you booked it last night around 11 pm. You should all wear Windows 95 tees.

I reserve the right to not comment on that first accusation!

But yes, we'll be flying over in Windows 95 t-shirts and denim cut-offs. Trying to convince the kids that mullets are cool. Wish me luck!!

I didn't watch the contest but did watch the voting! Think a bunch of my neighbours did too! It was 2 am here, I definitely paid the price today, but so worth it!!!🙌
