Come on EBU - I got scorecards to print out for tonight, so is :nl: in or out?? :lol:

Also so weird that all the Eurovision YouTubers have gone so silent - silenced by the EBU clearly? Who is in Malmö right now, and what's the mood?

It will be Zagreb.

EBU needs a new country to win. And a country from Eastern Europe is more than welcomed to keep other Eastern Europe countries in the game.

Baby Lasagna is overwhelmingly loved and they certainly don't want to have a repetition of 2023.

EBU might be not the most exemplary organization in the world but they certainly know how to make sure the right country wins.
Israel is likely to win televotes by a landslide, if Italy is any indication. So it all depends on how the jury voted last night...

If the televotes are counted as valid, yes.

But I am sure EBU will find a way to deal with that.

Unfortunately, it is easy to win the televote legally, even if it is unethical. You organize the purchase of SIM cards in all countries and give the maximum number of votes from each number. And if you have time for that throughout the entire final, the mission is even simpler.

So it was the jury that had a lot of responsibility tonight. We will find out tonight what they decided.

I agree !

I am just thinking that EBU can also be unethical and find a way of rigging the results or invalidating some of them.

They've already put Ukraine and Israel to perform at dead slots, so their vector is quite clear.
