United Kingdom UNITED KINGDOM 2014 - Molly - Children of the Universe

I've been looking at the places countries who performed last have been. There is more ups and downs on their final place than there is on a rollercoaster.

Proving that analysing the draw isn't helpful here

oooo another dutch has appeared.

Im sorry AshleyWright im here since 2011 thats earlier than you

I thought that the general rule in reality tv is you want to go last (or as close to as possible)

 

[Happiness]

I think they thought that they were genuinely being nice to the UK giving us 26th to be honest!

So I introduce them my hand.

 

[QwaarJet]

Exactly lol! I feel there is a sense of traditional British pessimism here lol, when in fact we've been awarded a fantastic position and should appreciate it

Maybe, but I bet if you offered the UK delegation a switch with Spain, they would snap your hand off.

 

[galih]

..And they put Sweden in 13th position. No surprise

Especially when the voting doesnt start till last!

Spain are a real threat. People are seriously underestimating Ruth but she can belt like nobody's business. The song is crap but it's hard to focus on the actual song when listening to her sing.

I think Spain will come 3rd or 4th.

It's a different story in Eurovision, middle of the second half is the place to be.

and eat it whole

Now the initial shock has worn off I'm beginning to see the pros and cons... with a song like ours, 26th position could actually be beneficial!

 

[beyoncefromtheblo]

you don't agree?

 

[eddyegghead]

A lot of people on twitter are saying it's a fix that Sweden and UK were both chosen to close their halves, so clearly not everyone thinks last = bad

 

[Sean]

you don't agree?

Nope, Spain is now a contender for bottom 5

 

[beyoncefromtheblo]

Nope, Spain is now a contender for bottom 5

Why now and not before?

 

[ayzelto]

Great draw for Molly. It will be AMAZING ending the contest with that "Power to the people". It will be brilliant, and so beneficial for the UK.

Spain won't win, but I think somewhere between 8th and 12th is likely from that position.

Well the whole process is a sham. It should be totally random, they are in the real sense of the word, fixing it.

Why now and not before?

Well it always was but their draw between two of the biggest shows, combined with the fact there are much better ballads almost confirms it to me
