Bookies think
Slovenia, Iceland, Azerbaijan, Croatia, and Portugal are toast.

I think I'm probably close to that but would save Iceland and bin Poland or Cyprus instead.

I’d ditch Estonia, Portugal, Azerbaijan, Cyprus and Croatia. Or Norway/Slovenia.

Where can I hire those scaffolding lads?Asking for a friend.

How long until the results? Need to get the washing in before the spider willies get it…

I liked Iceland, Estonia (sorry), Azerbaijan, San Marino, Netherlands

Ok, I liked Ukraine and Italy. Also Sweden. Strangely fond of Albania and, maybe, Estonia. Maybe San Marino, too.

40 fecking minutes to go before the end of this

I wouldn’t mind them putting my scaffolding up tbh
might even offer some tea and biscuits.
As long as they don’t sing , it would be grand

I'm binning

Croatia
Portugal
Norway
Belgium (twitter is going mad for it amd it'll probably go through but it was awful IMO)
Azerbaijan

I want them all to qualify. And win.

I suspect, Grindr.

My thoughts exactly

Whaaaat. I think I’ll just look up the results here later.

Is this a Frozen rip off?

Oh fuck me they’re yodelling again

poland
slovenia
belgium
azerbaijan
Albania
for the chop i reckon

what is this song? It’s very disney

Get them offff

Far better looking than the average scaffolders.

I'm getting my roof refelted soon.

My favs tonight Italy (i know its big 5), Sweden, Netherlands, Albania, San Marino and I quite liked Switzerland.

Strangely I don't think Sweden was my fav tonight. I love it, but... Italy for me.

The comedy interlude is better than most of the entrants. Who knew the Swiss had such a sense of humour?

Belgium will qualify I'm sure.

Ok what’s happening??

Best song of the night 😆

PETRA!!!
