The guy from Italy behaves like a cartoon character.

WE BLANKED ISRAEL WHAT????

 

[Iker]

Ireland dropped to 6th already, was 2nd for a while. ETA: Finland pushed Ireland one position higher

 

[Gwendal]

(and so I'm tired of taking back my unconventional odd of Portugal finishing last because other ballads would get more points, but well, I've always been awfully bad at odds)

 

[Zorjan]

If the 12s keep on rolling to Switzerland, they may end up winning, even without that many votes from the public

Glad to see Israel doing that poorly, but Switzerland certainly won't be my favorite winner either

 

[Gwendal]

Käärijä out. Why I'm not surprised.

Mimicat queen

 

[Chrisiam]

We are now in double digits!

 

[Iker]

Hope beats

You don't believe in already?

Switzerland might end with around 350 points in jury that are alone enough, with around 100 points in the televoting.

 

[NeoTen]

Switzerland only top country performing within odds projection margin.
Croatia 15% under performing for the projection
Israel still within the projected gap to overcome, with a margin of 10-20 points.

 

[GermanBango]

We might get more than 100 points

 

[Himan]

Switzerland might end with around 350 points in jury that are alone enough, with around 100 points in the televoting.

To beat Israel...

 

[AliceEsc]

Switzerland might end with around 350 points in jury that are alone enough, with around 100 points in the televoting.

Switzerland will have way more than 100 tv points.

You don't believe in already?

I never believed in a Total-Victory, only TV-Victory.

 

[Hatari2600]

It's going to be a Loreen vs. Käärijä repeat after all, huh?

 

[Etanna]

Ireland having such a classy spokesperson is a huge contrast to their contestant

(Edit: i don't mean to say that bambi isn't classy, just that the visual presentation is very different)
