Because it is needed for them to stick around a little longer. Just like Italy almost won ESC 2011 and there are even speculations that their JESC victory is fixed.
I was refusing to believe in such things before but with all the latest "improvements" from EBU.....nothing can be excluded.
Can't agree more. This'll be like Italy 2011 to make them believe the whole Europe is in awe of their participation... Australia winning Eurovision! lol what an irony. Like in Sweden and all the fuss created around the bridge with Denmark (and Denmark winning by magic), I see all the bad jokes "Austria/Australia" coming from the presenters, tacitly telling us it's fixed already.
I feel sorry because I'm sure all this publicity will overshadow the rest of the contestants. I hope I'll be wrong because it'd be disgusting to all the European countries.
