Thanks Red.
Now I just need to decide who to support.

Hello! Checking in.
ilovesooty · 13/05/2022 14:09
Brilliant. Thanks for the thread.
The UK is well drawn at least.
Raahh · 13/05/2022 14:12
Thank you! Red.
I am looking forward to tomorrow night.

Kicking off the night is the upbeat Czech dance number which is a great starter. Norway suffer from being song 7, before Terry's Drink at song 9.
Based on the results the best slots are roughly 5th, 6th, 11th, 12th and anything after 20th.
5th - Switzerland
6th - France
11th - Netherlands
12th - Ukraine
20th - Sweden
21st - Australia
22nd - UK
23rd - Poland
24th - Serbia
25th - Estonia
I think we've got a great slot actually. Everyone is going to reach peak drunk for song 19 with Moldova. I can imagine that some Eurovision Parties are going to go slightly mad at that point.
Sweden have to follow that, which might go either way for them. Then its Australia which isn't as upbeat as some of the others. Then the UK. Theres only 3 acts after us. Poland is a good song and Estonia is an uplifter but not going to win. We SHOULD be firmly in the memory when it comes to voting.
However, I do notice that most of the favourites all have good slots too.
The betting odds are still coming in on Ukraine to win. However they have to win both the jury and the public vote. I think there is room for someone else to sneak in because of that.
As of lunchtime friday these are the favourites in order. It will be interesting to see if this changes before the end of the show on Saturday:
Fav - Ukraine
2nd - United Kingdom
3rd - Sweden
4th - Italy
5th - Spain
6th - Poland
7th - Serbia
8th - Greece
9th - Norway
10th - Netherlands
The bookies are putting the UK with a 40% chance of being top 3. Given how Eurovision voting works, if you have a good song, you tend to score well. Its mediocrity what lands you in the bewildering strangeness where the difference between nul points and the left hand side of the table is purely whether people like you.
I actually think, that this year's politics may work in the UK's favour better than recent years too. Watch out for a potential second place (behind Poland naturally) for the UK from Ukraine and probably Poland.
But damn is there competition from that Swedish entry...

I hope MN fix all the app problems before Saturday night. It's making it so hard to enjoy a thread.
StarryGazeyEyes · 13/05/2022 14:45
If you haven't seen it, the Moldovan official video is inspired!
megletthesecond · 13/05/2022 14:46
I'm still moping because Latvia didn't make it.
stickygotstuck · 13/05/2022 14:48
Oooh, thanks OP!
FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 13/05/2022 15:00
I’m in - it’s my favourite night of the year! 😍
IsFuzzyBeagMise · 13/05/2022 15:16
Thank you for the new thread, Red!
Looking forward to tomorrow night. I'm deciding who I'm going to vote for based on what I've seen so far. I have a few likes but no loves.
MinglingFlamingo · 13/05/2022 15:45
Thanks for the thread! I'm So excited the Prosecco is already chilling on the fridge
IsFuzzyBeagMise · 13/05/2022 15:51
Mingling 😅
I have sparking wine (need to put it in the fridge though) and snacks lined up :)
maddiemookins16mum · 13/05/2022 16:36
I’m excited, we have 2 friends coming over and we’re going ‘Cyprus’ this year as our theme.
I’m doing a Meze for our meal and am making my infamous Brandy Sour Punch.
LittleOldLadies · 13/05/2022 16:38
So excited for tomorrow. Although not as excited as my 13yo who is obsessed! Love that I’m raising one of the the next generation of Eurovision lovers!
ATrifleofFun · 13/05/2022 16:51
I am so hyped already. Norway are very catchy and I have had their song in my head all day. 😁
munchbunch12 · 13/05/2022 16:53
I've had the Austrian song 'Halo' going through my head today, and it didn't even make the final.
ilovesooty · 13/05/2022 18:27
I've got into the mood by watching the 1998 final again. 😁
mathanxiety · 13/05/2022 18:33
Thanks as ever, @RedToothBrush.
Interesting to see Serbia so high in the odds.
Hoping Czechia will do well. First in running order isn't great. Also hoping that Iceland will do better than predicted.
Four big hitters are one after the other in good attention span territory:
9 Italy
10 Spain
11 Netherlands
12 Ukraine
Three right after the interval might suffer. Sad for Lithuania there.
14 Lithuania
15 Azerbaijan
16 Belgium
LadyEloise1 · 13/05/2022 18:39
Ukraine will win.
It's political.
But then again what do I know. 
StarryGazeyEyes · 13/05/2022 19:36
Very happy for a Ukrainian victory - genuinely like it despite it being an ear worm all week. Also loving Moldova and Estonia, though don't suppose they'll be troubling the top spots.
rifling · 13/05/2022 19:45
Getting excited now although I really wanted to go in person but couldn't get a ticket! We'll do a European buffet with a bit of whatever Lidl has to offer. 😆
NatMoz · 13/05/2022 19:54
If Ukraine did win would UK step in and host on their behalf? So i could go in person
Taytocrisps · 13/05/2022 21:36
Getting in the mood for tomorrow night by watching a Top of the Pops Eurovision special. I'm especially enjoying the 80s numbers - remember how daring Bucks Fizz were when the lads whipped off the girls' skirts? And a soulful Johnny Logan.
And at 10 p.m. there's Eurovision at 60.
You're welcome 😀🇪🇺

A bottle of Pinot Grigio in my case.
