Ok people, say HI to me. I discovered only NOW that Sarah Dawn Finer and Lynda Woodruff are the SAME person.
That's not very amayiyziyng of you.
And I thought my Sanna Nielsen/Filippa Bark faux pas was bad.

The only reason I wouldn't want Lynda or Sanna to do it would be because I think they could make the best ever Eurovision song together...Those two have the potential to do something utterly incredible!
Indeed! Lynda would make a fabulous backup screamer.

Sarah Dawn finer will be magical, and Lynda Woodruff is probably the most hilarious thing I've ever seen in Eurovision (and that says a lot!)

Of course. I really want Sarah Dawn Finer hosting, and as herself. She'd do a brilliant job.
It would be very silly to have Sarah hosting as Lynda.

Ok, I'm ready for a compromise, 3 options 
:
1) Petra and Mans
2) Petra and SDF
3) Petra, Mans and SDF
SDF as herself of course, Lynda is not funny anymore.

I'll honestly take (almost) anyone as long as it isn't the embarrassingly pathetic Rickard Olsson, SVT's go-to host guy for various events and shows.

Oh jesus christ, now you scare me, it is not totally impossible. Shoot me if that happens!
Yeah, he really is. It's hard to describe or pinpoint exactly what makes him a terrible hosts, but it's a whole key of factors. Most of them have to do with his attitude, though. He's past 40 but acts as if he was still in high school. He tends to add completely unfunny, non-scripted awkward jokes here and there and can be quite patronizing on the quiz show he hosts. It would not matter so much if he was tucked away on his own show and that was all he ever did, but he's been hosting so many things these past few years, often 3-4 events/programs during the same season. I'm just so sick of him.

Two good examples for why he is a troublesome host..
first is when he hosted a discussing show for the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and the german womens team got eliminated in the semifinal against Brazil and he came with the glorious comment: "There is something with Hitler and Germany that makes it still hard to feel sorry for them when they get so beaten in football. You just think Hitler, Hitler, Hitler, Hitler." He and his fellow guests never apologized for the comments despite it got huge critique both from Sweden and Germany.
The 2nd example is from his quiz-show where he had a person that had origins from the sami people and made several jokes for this woman, which made the woman very uncomfortable. I can't find now exactly what he said, but it is several accusations about if the woman is doing some activities that is traditionally sami, but she repeatedily saying she didn't do much of it. It never came an excuse from him this time either.
This is just two examples, but he has said many stupid "jokes" over the years and has NEVER apologized for them. I think that a person like this shall never ever get close to a show like Eurovision.
I honestly don't care if he never apologizes, I think everything can be made fun of. He's just a terrible host, regardless of the crude jokes or not, and that is why I don't want him anywhere near Eurovision.
