Nil points, here we go.
Wow, they’re really having to pad around that Australian entry.
Tell you what, why don’t we just stop the show for a few minutes, otherwise it might threaten to build up some momentum.
Bold of Eurovision to get Nadja from What We Do In The Shadows to help with hosting.
Will you start the fans, please!
Wait, did… did we send a decent song?
@Dave I think you need to repost that Red Dwarf’s Cat as a cowboy image for UK…
United Kingdom you say? No, no we’re not.
Actually credit to him, he’s giving it some effort and it’s livened things up a bit.
Houston, we have…Kind of a decent song from the Uk🤨.
UK guys is… real?
Not an actor in a wig and fake beard?
Well, it’s not a ballad.
Yeah, that wasn’t bad, but like not my scene at all.
Staging was a bit shite. But not the worst song we’ve ever sent.
Wait, did… did we send a decent song?
Yup, for once!!! Here’s hoping!
Bold of Moldova to give an acceptance speech before the voting.
Mika’s suit is getting 75% more magenta every time it cuts back to him.

Didn’t they send that “we are the winners of Eurovision” song in 2008 or 2009?
Ukraine just blanked poor mika
No chance they’ll give the mic to the Ukranians
UK guy was fine. It hurts my Britishness to admit it, but he was fine!
I’m not sure that counts for Eurovision.
Shaky cam lightning effects! Delightfully shite.
Call off the search, I think we’ve found the new James Bond
Interesting that Poland chose to send the Nazgul from LOTR as dancers…
Brave of her to perform through her OCD.
The hell?
I want to scream and wake up now please
Complete with portal to hell
I bet there are people in Serbia watching this now going “aha, yes! They’ve really nailed that satire!” And you know, good for them. But that was just weird but boring.
Complete with portal to hell
WTF is going on?!
It’s like a Europop Tarantino soundtrack.
Nice of the competition to end with a solid dose of mediocrity.
Why was Estonia’s intro at the Sept of Baelor?
Cowboys with a bit of upbeat! Not sure about this one?! Wolves again!
Why was Estonia’s intro at the Sept of Baelor?
I thought it was Winterfell!
I’m feeling a lot more generous towards the Czech song now…
So for me it’s Norway, France and Moldova who are the ones to beat.
France was a proper Zion rave tune.
Moldova or Spain’s thong.
My top songs are Spain > France > Ukraine
I’d rank the batshit ones as Serbia > Norway > Moldova
I’m going for Spain or Ukraine.
I’m feeling a lot more generous towards the Czech song now…
Me too, even the Spanish one + Norway!
Spain or France for me, I think. Possibly Norway.
Poor guys clearly fucked his leg.
Maneskin! I like them, even if their name does sound like the discarded part of a certain intimate surgical operation.
Ok, that green lycia suit might replace Serbia’s entry in my nightmares tonight.

Context for the Serbian entry.
We'll want this for tonight's semi-final, so: your 🧵 on why Serbia's #Eurovision entry this year isn't just 'the one about Meghan Markle's healthy hair' pic.twitter.com/Gm3YiaWTaX

Still doesn’t make it a fun Eurovision song.
Did Graham just introduce Armenia as “Minnie Driver in 30 years?”
This guy’s trying to start a war here
Ah great, time for a medley of Mika’s well-known hit.

They started the show with everyone chanting Give Peace a Chance, and now for the counterargument…
Poor forklift driver sweating under the stage all night.
The Rasmus’ song is shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
When eurovision commentators say “rock” they never mean what I mean when I say “rock”.
So, which of the awful songs will inexplicably be tied with a good one for the top spot all night? I’m betting on Netherlands, it’s bland enough to go really far.
Mika finds his new outfit:
I’m a bit worried that some professionalism might creep into this broadcast at some point

After 60 years there’s bound to be a slip-up somewhere
TEN POINTS TO SWIZTERLAND?
Wow, in the points already.
Surprising votes so far. 12 to Spain, little to Ukraine, a decent amount to UK.
We’re…not on zero?
That’s one hell of a hat.
If it comes down to Spain or the Uk…I’m still going Spain.
So who’s going to be the UK correspondent? I’m going with, oh, I don’t know, Cat Deeley.
Turns out the UK is the country that people in Ukraine feel sorry for.
Cat Deely is far too good for this. I’ll guess Scarlett Moffat. Can’t be worse than Amanda thingummy from last year.
So who’s going to be the UK correspondent? I’m going with, oh, I don’t know, Cat Deeley.
I’m wondering whether it’s a member of Boyzone or Westlife who’ll do it for Ireland. And what incongruous part of Dublin will be on the green screen
France is getting mugged here. Norway too.
Isn’t it normally Scott Mills?
Top of the leader board, wow!!!
We might actually have a chance here.
Germany is dressed as the best Quality Street.
This is possibly the weirdest scoring ever
She really didn’t pace her energy there.
Poland: We Stand with Ukraine.
Also Poland: Don’t pay attention to how many fascists are in our government.
That guy in the Ukraine team was delighted that they were doing so well, until he realised that his hat was blocking him from seeing the top three countries in the table.
