Likely to be totally wrong, but I'm confident I've got Sweden right.

What's the point of trying to predict the outcome of a random draw? Just askin'.

Not sure if serious...you do know it's not random, right?

It's not random, the producers make up the draw to try and make a balanced show.

the same as trying to predict the result of the final scores.. shits and gigs

I think trying to judge song quality is a bit easier and makes more sense than the running order.

Before the Semis it is anyone's game. But once both Semis are over I think everyone has rough idea of who is going to do well and likely to fail. Just my opinion and off-topic anyway

I would add a fact that Australia will be like from 10 to 13 (I assume 13th, but only because they gave 12th last year to them...umm, maybe they even will be punished with 11th or 10th ). Russia will be somewhere 22-26, I think not the last one but it could be great closer.

if SVT is listening to the odds and will get a "favorite" position and if not, means that they don't want them to win

Hmm, without sounding petty and going all conspiracy theory... is it possible SVT might not favour Russia? Obviously Sweden have now hosted it twice over the last few years, and I've no doubt Russia would throw millions at it (as they do everything they host, they go way over the top...), it could make SVT look a bit weak, and as we know, they like their tltle of the Gods of Eurovision right now

Its possible they could see Russia as a threat to their title and prestige. They've been very, very, strong the last four/five years in particular.

Last year the running order was announced at 1:41. Two years ago, at 1:37. So it seems we'll have to wait a bit more.

by the way, if they don't get them a favorite draw can also mean something completely different : despite their odds, they didn't reach the top spots of their semi. Only is unknown. I'm -personally- not sure that or got 1st in their respective semis, but that's just a guess.
[MENTION=4437]ParadiseES[/MENTION] why are you telling us that ? I'm working tomorrow! I have to go to bed RIGHT KNOW and now I can't.

I think Spain will sing the last and Belgium the first this time.

If it will take as long as they needed to decide the semi final draws, we'd be lucky if we knew the running order on the night itself..

 

[esc87fan]

Did you all notice that most of the West is in the first half and most of the East is in the second half?

We better!

 

[ParadiseES]

We're some minutes later from the schedule! I guess Bjorkmann is having a hard time to organize so many slow songs in the first half

They're just trying to decide who they can throw under the bus and who they will spare a deadly fate.

 

[tuorem]

Can't wait to be shocked about how scandalous the final draw is Can't wait to rant and defend the entries that will be hurt.
