October 6, 20195 yr Just realised I actually correctly predicted the winner for once!!! Also forgot to say thanks to J&J, really enjoyed this contest ^_^
October 6, 20195 yr Nice to be the opposite to what I usually do! I've finished first in the semi and ended up struggling in the final a couple of times now, but I did the opposite this time *.* (v nearly didn't qualofy and ended up finishing top 10!) I had a feeling that was a tough semi for me! Congrats Lotunia! Really enjoyed that song so don't begrudge it being a winner! :D
October 6, 20195 yr It is the first time... :o ...since BJSC 107 when The Delgados' 'No Danger' did exactly the same thing. :D It was also done by Gabrielle's '#sitterher' in BJSC 58 which actually somehow got 2 12s, 1 10 and 2 8s but still came last (it was once the record holder for most points for last place, and still is the record among contests that used the Eurovision voting system for the final). Those seem to be the only previous occasions! Another small but less specific factoid I've noticed while updating some stats - this was FSR Rontvia's 100th finalist, making them the first nation to achieve that milestone (Hendinia and République d'Áskorza are tied in a distant 2nd with 84 finalists each, and I'm 4th with 73, slay) Wow :o It’s been pretty amazing to be part of 100 finals. Makes my 18 DNQs easy to count without double checking now too :lol:
October 6, 20195 yr Bré please feed our stats addiction by posting the list of most final appearances!
October 6, 20195 yr I AVOIDED THE BOTTOM 10 NERISSA HAS BEEN DEFEATED AND THE GUARDIANS OF THE VEIL HAVE SAVED THE SONG CONTEST!!!
October 6, 20195 yr As a celebration, the Jadakissnia Brothel is giving one free session to every leader of every country
October 6, 20195 yr Congratulations NocheLuna! Wasn't at all a fan of the winning song (back to this is it) nor indeed most of the top 10 aside from Thelonia & Klum Rep so poor results on the whole this time. A lot of the good entries finished further down the pecking order. I'm set on my next entry, very much in good time for Hallowe'en.
October 6, 20195 yr Bré please feed our stats addiction by posting the list of most final appearances! This is everyone with at least 50 final appearances: 100 FSR Rontvia 84 Hendinia 84 République d'Áskorza 73 Persephonia 72 Altyr Muunilinst 72 Bøtanikkä 71 Aeroche 70 Espen 67 Fljótavík 64 Elëdan 63 Kylienips 62 Unovia 59 Ojnoj 57 Danæviia 57 Tinnmark 56 New Lexico 56 Ramrynia 54 Séyetana 54 Trifoski 53 Kluminican Republic 52 Greenfroze 52 Skall 51 Daehun Terra Avium will probably be the next to reach that level (currently on 48). Notably out of that list everyone has at least 10 DNQs as well... except Aeroche who have only 4 :lol: as ever Aeroche's stats dominance really can't be understated, it's mad that they're ahead of much older countries like Espen, Kylienips and Tinnmark. They'd be ahead of me and Bøtanikkä as well most likely were it not for the One Big Final era.
October 6, 20195 yr Cadelicia are on 45 so also not far off that list! FARC (also 45) and Utopia (42) are the only other currently active nations over 40. x
October 6, 20195 yr Cadelicia are on 45 so also not far off that list! FARC (also 45) and Utopia (42) are the only other currently active nations over 40. x Funny how there is a three qualification gap between the next few countries! 51 Daehun 48 Terra Avium 45 Cadelicia / FARC 42 Cor Lupus / Utopia :lol:

Je suis Muriel’s Wedding. </3 6th this contest is fabulous though. Thank you all and amazing winner! 💜
October 6, 20195 yr Author I thought there’d be more of us in the 40’s :o I have 38 finalists so I'm coming for you 40+ club!!
October 6, 20195 yr That list makes me realise I am one of the more successful countries! Just don't have that win yet :( It saddens me when these debutante countries are winning so quickly yet the likes of me, Tinnmark, Espen, Unovia etc are still waiting after nearly a decade of toil!
October 6, 20195 yr Tinnmark particularly should just be given an honorary win at this point, they've been here for well over 100 contests! (and did have one huge 2nd placer unlucky enough to go against Sigala which was days away from being too popular to avoid veto)
October 6, 20195 yr It should have been with Opus last year. Would have also been the best winning entry of them all.
