WIG BACK IN ORBIT thank youuu calum and hinterland!

Thank you to all the little believers voting for Blink Twice :wub:

Memories of being joint 14th in the first scoreboard of the evening are more satisfying that this points dirge.

Yayy thank you hinterland for our second medal :wub: great to have left such a good first impression for u x (would have returned points if I could)

 

Both of the current runaway leaders being countries going for a first win!

Thanks Calum and Hinterland - you can stay *.* was about to moan about Persephonia being too low before that points boost, the vocals on that one reminded me of Joy Division <3

quick someone snub the top 2 and give points to the rest of the top 5, make it messy :lol:

We're pretty late in the game right now so that 31 point lead for Nelionoir is certainly looking strong! There's still about 10 votes left yet though and neither Kluminican Republic or Republique d'Askorza are giving up the fight!

Ouch that hurt

AHHHH JOOP THANK YOU

 

my second gold medal of the comp

oh my this is a lot :drama: would be iconic to have a 6th time in second without a win! seems like it’ll be down to who the last voters are!

Thank you Jupiter and !!! - back in the top 10 :cheer:

Thanks !!! :3 (and after seeing that 18 I notice Floating Points did pick up a lot from earlier, thank god)

It's a scrap for that bronze medal

Thanks hinterland for the points

A pair of votes that... honestly, don't really do anything to the lead. Although Republique d'Askorza are pushed a little closer to contention. The real battle feels like it belongs in the top 5 and top 10 race, with Jadakissnia looking strong for the former after an 18 from Persephonia.

really fighting for my life to get a second hit this month 😵‍💫
