Already wondering whether even two 18s will be enough for top 10 for me - one or fewer certainly won't

Your destination has caught the captain's attention. Eight passenger has entrusted you with their most valuable declaration—18 points!

Bronzil, Jadakissnia, New Helvetica, Bøtanikkä and Elëdan, please come to the cockpit!!!

THREE 18’S!!!!!

@Scene @LiamSime @RobBot THANK YOU SO MUCH OMGGGG

Skall, what a beauty, would be such a fantastic winner, and not one I'd ever dreamt could ever do it as I said in that other thread, but easily my favourite here.

Please can Skall win!!

It reminded me a lot of something that would fit in a movie scene/end credits sequence. GORGEOUS!

I knew Skall would be a big beneficiary of that, would love if it could hold on <3

I'm surprised YAKAYA didn't get a single 18. It was very close to getting mine!

Two 18's 😱 I expected @brave lil toaster's after noticing I was missing from Baleghde's votes (and the text basically mirroring what was said in the odd thread about me and FARC haha) but @Qween's was quite the surprise (and I think my second Altyr Muunilinst 18 this year 😱). Thank you both!

Now to see if I make the Top 10 for the first time since MKTO in 2013, or just miss out!

Skall's song is genuinely beautiful, even if it's not the kind of song I'd usually listen to in my own time. I tend to vote based on what I personally more listen rather than trying to judge songs like a professional jury, so it just missed out on my top 15. But I honestly think it would be lovely and unexpected winner.

Also, thank you to those who scored BAYLI with points. But another one of my entries that gets tipped to well but under performs quite a bit lmaoooo </3

Can I please have Lentyll, Neliönoir, FARC and Sovarasma come to the cockpit please!!!

Wow Skall! Incredible to see such an understated song do so well. Just wish I had connected with it a little more as I preferred Pyrrhic and Wawa by the Ocean which both DNQ’d. Where were the fans then?

Shame Elderbrook hasn’t done as well as they previously have but I knew it would be one that could fall into the ‘like but not love’ trap. Will have to go back to the drawing board for next month.

Good news from the cockpit! Your nations have all received multiple premium declaration.

So Aeroche/Hendinia/Sovarasma need five 18s to win which feels doable but probably going to be pretty tight.

Oh man one of my faves getting knocked down after the 18s

And last but not least...

AEROCHE v HENDINIA

is anyone still awake lmao.

I am so sorry everyone, it took forever to land this plane tonight!!!

But thanks for your patience as we are declaring the winner in momentarily!!!

Hendinia...you henny received.
