June 27, 20205 yr Author Yes, in case anyone's interested unlikely ik Mi Amor and Dumhdurum entered my chart this week. I'd be happy to host again now that I made it through this one! Now you all know what a witch I really am :P
June 27, 20205 yr I thought I'd do a bit better but that's only co of others hype haha! A v worthy winner :wub:
June 27, 20205 yr I'm really pleased with what is only my second top 10 finish from 32 contests. Thanks to all who voted for 'Better Friend'. Well done to Altyr Muunilinst on a closely fought win. And thanks to Jupiter for hosting,you did a fantastic job.
June 27, 20205 yr also thank you very much Jupiter for hosting this one! It's been fun throughout and it ran on time :') that's more of an achievement than it sounds!! As you know I've loved the theme throughout and you've really brought some flair to it. Maybe we'll have to be nicer to your entries in the future so you can host again!

June 27, 20205 yr That’s my second 2nd place right? (@Bre) It is indeed! So do these results mean that if John passes on hosting it goes to Rolloland? (Or will Ojnoj get the chance since they passed when they won - or did they, I can't remember)? Yeah Jonjo did pass when he had the hosting rights before so it would go to him first if John passes (as the succession is based on which countries have never hosted rather than which have never won). ~ Well congrats to John on dark horsing to a win at the last second, an exciting finale there, whew. I wasn't invested at all in any of the songs contending but 'Mi Amor' was decent, there have certainly been worse winners! Did not vote for a single one of the top 8 in the end, I feel like that might be a record for me :lol: (think I remember a time where I didn't vote for any of the top 6 off the top of my head but I'd need to do some digging to see if there's ever been any more than that). FSR and Ojnoj were both at least commiserations though and the final 2 songs in the top 10 both got double figure points from me to make up for it a bit - great to see HAARM giving Rollo a rare top 10 (only the 2nd ever!) and BRONSON giving Thelonia a strong bounce back from DNQing the last couple of contests! <3 Shame that Suedeonia fell just short of the top 10 in the end, that was a brilliant discovery. Happy with Wholune, Rep of Adonia and Summericia all being top 20 too and a decent result relative to the odds for Greenfroze. 24th for 'Aman' is an ok result after it was floundering for so long near the start but still deserved much better! Back to hating New Lexico now though. xx Biggest disappointments here are BETHY being paid absolute dust (where did y'all's Jadakissnia taste go :() and another undeservedly low finish for Dobago, seems very bittersweet when FARC recycled Dobbo's PFSC entry and did wayyyy better with it this time...! Very happy with getting a top 20 finish myself, three in a row and 4/5 in the year to date, hooray. Very polarising entry clearly, finishing with 12 out of 17 votes being 10+ points! I think my theory that semi 2 was better for my song is definitely at least partly vindicated although across both semis it was just a small handful of people giving it high points and little else really (and I see I was a little more comfortable qualifying than I thought). 17th though... that was already my most common final position and now is even moreso, this is the lucky 7th time! :lol: Thanks for the excellent hosting job Jupiter!

June 27, 20205 yr Oh didn't see that winner coming. Thought Hendinia would be a secure winner. Nova was okay so not a bad winner. Pleased for Rolloland, Rontvia, Thelonia and Aeroche being top 10 and liked Ojnoj too even though it just missed my votes. Flynnonda did very well, shame they didn't hold top 10 though. Harmonica though what happened there and Dr Dick last isn't a surprise but was a tune. Yass for managing 20th despite being joint points with Daehun.. Much higher than I envisioned! Great job Jupiter, was really great presenting! Edited June 27, 20205 yr by Rob S
June 27, 20205 yr I see we seemed to out-perform our ranking we should've been based on number of voters, only 15 of them! Links in with the theory that my song had vocal lovers and not much casual support which gave off the impression it would do better than it did. You guys need to stop hyping me up each contest as I think I've performed worse than the predictions in every contest so far this year! Predict me last and I'll be happy when I come 40th :) I will take getting 18's from Hendinia and Aeroche, two of my favourite BJSC countries as a sign of success anyway x Also good to see my points in the semi final helped Where's My Juul? into a qualifying positions! :heart:
June 27, 20205 yr Dropped from 7 in the semi to 0 in the final from Cadelicia!! (I was gonna say I hoped that Oliver's post saying he thought I'd be a safe qualifier was a sign that he was a fan... :lol:) Also lost all the points from the semi from Flynnonda and Frandoot, although I did gain Sandénia. x
June 27, 20205 yr I don't mind trading in a midtable finish for a Persephonian 18, that's a fair deal in my mind! Excellent hosting and a banger of a winner so a good time was had by all UwU
June 27, 20205 yr Right so here's some fascinating stats following on from discussion in this thread xx Headline conclusion: with a small handful of exceptions, the bias towards songs from one's own semi-final is pretty distinct and clear-cut, this month at least. It's such a clear correlation that I'd be pretty surprised if this isn't something that's always the case, but I'll investigate a few older contests at some point to double check! I ended up pretty close to the middle (still a small bias to my own semi, but below average among semi 1 voters) which I choose to believe is also good evidence that listening to both semi-finals helps to eliminate that bias. Though that may just be a coincidence. Countries in blue were in semi 1, countries in red were in semi 2. Ordered by % of points given to semi 1 songs (ignoring any points given to the auto-qualifiers), so if the bias exists, you'd expect the top half to be mostly blue and the bottom half to be mostly red, and well... This has been FiveThirtyBréight x (well done to Flynnonda for being the ultimate non-biased nation!)
June 27, 20205 yr 25th, I'll take that. Thank you very much to everyone who voted for us. Thanks to Jupiter for running this contest. Congratulations to Altyr Muunilnst on winning.
June 27, 20205 yr Congrats to Altyr! And great hosting J00ps. Bit disappointing on the position but still got that Q streak at least. x Jacob is clearly the better Sturtridge this month xxEvery month tbh. x
