Guys, afterall there are also other purposes in our lives than Eurovision... don't take it all too seriously.

What do you mean?? I've already booked my cryopreservation for Monday morning!!!!!!

 

[crashworld]

or show them the performances from earlier today

But that's assuming The Netherlands are out because they didn't rehearse at all.

Joost Klein was last seen buying a tractor. Martin Österdahl was seing leaving the country.

Mama kupila traktora, PA

So Dutch TV has just reported all delegations came together and said that apparently all Dutch flags have been removed everywhere throughout the building. My guy said the same. Dutch delegation left the building. So.... it seems he's out and they're just discussing how to avoid any more incidents.

Joost Klein won't be appearing tonight in the jury show according to reports.

 

[MopManMoss]

Joost Klein won't be appearing tonight in the jury show according to reports.

He won't be appearing because he has gotten into a fight with the visible spectrum of light

 

[crashworld]

Urmmm. So how is the jury going to vote then? On the assumption that Netherlands is out?

 

[aef]

Apparently the incident did not have any connection though?!

All delegations came together to say about the Dutch flag? Didn’t get it.

 

[Augustas]

Any reports who Joost is fighting now?

 

[gigi_copp3]

Will the Dutch jury vote tonight?

 

[GermanBango]

Any reports who Joost is fighting now?

Valentina Monetta apparently

 

[Leydan]

In all of this, Joost aside as it seems he may have done something shady af. I feel real bad for the rest of the Dutch delegation. Months of work & Prepation, a favourite to win and now at the very end of this point all of it gone to waste.

Of course. It’s the country that brings the peace to the contest. Just look outside of the arana:

Watch socials go into meltdown now because occupies the 5th spot in running order now - Eden pushed Joost out.

Jeez, this is a mess and EBU should have just made a clear statement by now to avoid all this utter nonsense doing the rounds.

This has to be a bad joke.

I'm gonna quote it: "Next to the press room where I'm standing all delegations came together and our sources there have said all Dutch flags have been removed in the building and that it suggests things aren't looking well for Joost."
