Yes

I'm getting some gin in for Saturday.

We really don't need the suspense.

I can't bear it. How long can they draw this out?

Norway.

Happy for Norway. Deserve to be in the final

I don't like this way of doing things.

Yea Mans is lucky not to have been cancelled after the divorce.

not sure if it has been said upthread but Claude is Congolese and the song is inspired by his mother and what she used to say to her children as they faced hard times on their journey and in their new country

Why are they doing it like this?

Yay! Albania.

Yay Sweden are through. They have to be one of the favourites to win now

Ramping up the tension. Frankly I'm losing the will to live

No surprises so far.

Ohh I don't like how they are doing this voting ?

I am getting very confused 😕

Iceland x

ICELAND!

Thats a surprise. Someone unexpected isn't going through

Good.

Not sure I like this 'new' format- and not sure why it needs shaking up.

Oh- Iceland. I did quite like them.

ICELAND!!!!

Vikings FTW

It’s largely believed to be because the green room is on tiers, and they can’t get cameras up and down fast enough for the split screen thing. So they’re putting them in groups

Nobody in the history of the universe enjoys this kind of thing. Just get on with it!

Woooot! Netherlands.

Awww I liked Netherlands

Hooray for Iceland! I do like a Sea Shanty though so maybe why that’s why they’re my fave so far!

I hope the final has normal voting
