    So essentially this format is "We need to hide the Bloc Voting Because People Were Getting Pissed".


    It's so stupid. It removes most of the tension because you know all the countries who haven't got votes already got more votes than the ones that already have been announced, so it's fairly easy maths....

    The public vote means a lot more. Like how many people are on each jury, compared to how many people from each country are voting?

    Nah I'm sure it's all worked out regardless of population otherwise the biggest countries would just win all the time.

    Poland has a big diaspora. That's why they do so well on televoting.

    There hasn't been tension in the Eurovision in years. Normally you know who wins halfways through.

    My dad stuck an each-way bet on Poland at 100/1. Think he needed them to be at least sixth.
