Sunday at 23:522 days My whole Top 10 qualified + myself so can’t really complain. Also would have loved for some of the ones outside my Top 10 to have made it, but I can’t have it all!!!

Sunday at 23:542 days All of my top 10 votes qualified!(And I'll be taking good care of the sunfaded wooden spoon)

Sunday at 23:582 days In my almost three years of competing, I have never been more shocked by a result than 26th for KathaldaziaI was trying to convince people it was going to win during the listenthrough
Sunday at 23:592 days I lost two of my votes - Altyr and Rontvia - if I was told I'd lose two then I'd probably not expect it to be Rontvia, and Altyr I'm even more surprised by!
Sunday at 23:592 days First time I've DNQed in 2 contests out of 3. In the bigger picture, only 3 top 30 finishes out of 12 which is nowhere near good enough. I thought this would be reasonably safe, but if all the alt voters think I've sent a pop song and all the pop voters think I've sent an alt song then I'm going to be in trouble. There's plenty of stuff I could have sent that would have been safer / I know the host would have liked, and likewise there's other contests I could have sent this to (the last BJSC or regular PFSC for example) but missing out on my first choice last time does funny things to the mind.
Monday at 00:022 days feels surreal to see more than one country starting with Z on the roster, let alone in the final 😲 congrats @awardinary @DaTilt

Monday at 00:152 days From the opposite semi TALA would have been in my top points, so it kinda looks like it was a victim of wrong semi syndrome!!! Hopefully Bal will continue to participate <3
Monday at 00:202 days As alluded to earlier (and as I have probably mentioned every single time I've DNQed in the last decade, so I can finally stop harping on about it x) this is my first back-to-back DNQs since my 3 in a row in BJSCs 54-56 so that doesn't feel great but it is what it is! The pressure of keeping up my run of bouncing back from DNQs is off now I suppose, my next job is just to avoid making it a triple again, onwards and upwards ~ shall still be giving myself a pat on the back for sending another song that I'm confident I will not regret sending in the long run and from an artist that should have been new to everyone, good to see that it got a double figure number of voters including a gold medal, thank you very muchly to @Scene for that <3 as well as to @Jade for another medal and to Till, Pavita, Savan, Dandy, Freeze (😮), Lewis, Dobbo and Iz for the rest of the points. A handful more points than my DNQ got in the previous contest and finishing in the same position but further away from qualifying (though again I am genuinely glad that is the case as constantly DNQing by low single-figure margins was quite frustrating).I'm not going to post the Q streak update tonight (I haven't updated my spreadsheet for this contest yet whoops so better get that done in the next couple of days), will aim to post it in the not too distant future, keep an eye out for any potential Jim bus replacement in the meantime if I am procrastinating too much xAnyways, from my votes/rankings:12 Q10 Lentyll8 Q7 Q6 Q5 Q4 Q3 Q2 Q1 Q15th Niceland16th Aelandor17th Macromia18th République d'Áskorza20th Ojnoj22nd D'yermak'er24th FSR Rontvia26th New Lexico27th Harmonica31st Altyr MuunilinstAnd lost from my ranking of semi 1:5th Flynnonda9th Kathaldazia10th N DNTN11th Pagasa18th Ennea19th Bronzil22nd East Rukahavian24th Sandénia25th Lookylion26th FARC27th Freidland29th A-KonohagakureI considered my top 16 from both semis as good enough to be happy to vote for / put on my 2026 shuffle playlist so lost only 3 of those from my own semi (with only one of those actually getting points - and me providing more than 60% of the total points for said entry, still mourning that loss of an AQ for Lentyll!) and 4 from the opposite semi (but a few more of those being in the would-be points zone), am sure it shocks no one to say the AQ is also one that will be worthy of points from me so that leaves 26 songs in the final that I will want to vote for to some extent even before any more growing on me! So will still be a good final to look forward to and many thanks to Dan for the hostings even if a bit later in the day than planned.(I was planning to go on the treadmill for half an hour after the results finished, am I still mental enough to do so at gone midnight xx)
Monday at 00:202 days Karma served. Sorry for betraying y'all alt/indie bloc. We promise we'll send one next month xThanks for the votes, anywayyy

Monday at 00:262 days I’m with blacksquare here being utterly shocked at Kathaldazia DNQing. This would’ve been an easy 12 for me in the semi and most likely an 18 in the final.Brutal start of the year!

Monday at 00:302 days This thread is viciously homophobic and to recover from this I will simply have to abuse my power as mod and cancel the semis and their results and qualify myself for the final
