All this talk of BJSC36 has made me read the final again. Lost out by 18 points. :drama: But 'Video Games' was amazing, so at least I wasn't bitter. :D

BJSC 36 is my favourite contest I've competed in so far! Such a range of fantastic songs in the final, even the songs that DNQ'd were great! And the top two were my 12 and 10 point songs too! (Aswell as my 2nd best finish in the contest :kink:)

It was a joy to host, mainly because my top two were THE top two and were thoroughly amazing discoveries which both went on to finish in my EOY top 30 (next to each other funnily enough!). It's rare to find one 10/10 discovery in a contest, let alone two! Most of the other entries were great too.

Does anyone else think that Greenfroze are a dark horse this contest? Seems quite a strong song for me - certainly not bottom 10 anyways!

 

Whilst correcting the odds, I really don't think Azealia will go top ten, there's much stronger tracks out there this time round.

The odds are looking really close!! Could we have a surprise winner? :o

 

Anyway, I'll be doing the average odds sometime this afternoon so if you want yours to be included - post in the next few hours. :D

Going by the last few months, it seems like the surprise would be the favourite winning for once :lol:

I think pretty much everyone bar Rich is under-predicting Nina. :(

I've done the averages for the 5 sets of odds given so far (only included Pavel's updated set of odds). So if anyone else wants to do theirs that'd be great! :D

 

I have to agree with Rich that I can't see Eledan not winning this, but we'll find out later!

From the averages so far, Nina is just in the top 10 so not doing too badly!

I've been having a feeling recently that Rebecca Stella's going to come from behind (pre-contest hype) and take the win despite most people writing her off. I can see Ronya coming in 2nd to her now.

 

I wonder how much I trust my feelings.

I think someone will win that hasn't even been predicted top tbh, I just have that feeling in my waters~~~

You should trust your feelings very much and it will be much appreciated if it happened tonight :D

The hype around it seems to have died off a bit recently, if anything I'm less confident of it winning than I was two weeks ago.

BJSC XLIV AVERAGE ODDS TO WIN!

 

I have averaged out everyone's odds to one decimal place, so where countries have the same odds, the higher country will actually be more favoured than the other :) 5 sets of odds were given.

 

Also, I have included each country's highest and lowest odds so we can judge which countries are the most consistent or inconsistent!

 

So, here are BJSC's average odds for the final in Botanikka!

29. 55/1 Umiiruka (18/1 - 100/1)

30. 67/1 Keypopian Republic (50/1 - 100/1)

 

Are the top 5 in the odds going to be the same top 5 in the results? Are Eledan going to convert their favourite status into a win? Will we get a shock podium from someone out of the top 10? :D

Swallow My Bullet being just above me makes me less bothered about doing so badly cos that song is the shit. Glad Bassline and Leave The Lights On are looking to do well though.

I still think we'll 'defy the odds' and finish at least top 20. I'm very used to this scenario now :lol: I think it'll be between Eledan and Daehun for the win, but I can see Ramyrnia being a dark horse as well.

Ooh! I hope so!! :cheer:

 

Hopefully Alex can do slightly better than the odds and secure another top 10! It'll be very difficult though with such a high quality final I think!
