Also of note: @blacksquare BARELY qualifying but getting a very respectable 7th in the end. Sophia Stel really is the queen of growers!

Ooft, 4th in the semi! That definitely was a very lucky draw for my song though so not that surprised it didn't fully cross over (and one of my big fans didn't vote </3)

Also feels very correct that after predicting Aeroche to finish top 2 with two entries that missed top 15, that as soon as I give them a shit prediction, they exceeded it by a country mile 😂

It’s all about the balance x

AS IF WE NEARLY LOST FREIDLAND IN THE OTHER SEMI I’m triggered

Girlies I promise Molly in the Club is a grower 🐠🖤

19th to 7th?

Oh my

Oh my god I’m so sorry Cody but you should be 27th if we break the ties as per usual x Also Jadakissnia is 12th.

Wow, semi 4th to 33rd in the final... this happens to my entries weirdly often nowadays.

Edit: oh, now 34th 😅

Congrats Iz!!!! Always great to see a new entrant to the winners circle

I was about to celebrate blocking out the who top 30 until I went to validate and realised Lola Blanc already got me my 19th that I needed. Whoops

Now just need that 34th for the whole top 40

Wait is it not split by who gets more 18s 😭

I must admit that I never actually checked this and just went off my memory. And you would think that my memory would be reliable since I fairly recently lost out on a victory on a tiebreak but perhaps not.

Oh well then what are we doing here

The votes have always been the first tiebreak parameter in the Final. The semi ties are broken by 18s etc

5th to 19th is a bit of a bigger drop than is ideal but that’s happened a few times lately to me, the semis being a little more concentrated has given me a few boosts on a couple of occasions

Thanks Harve for a wonderful job as host!

Oooops. Let me correct that then.

(I'm sure there is/was a justification for why final and semi scoreboards are split differently but that reason is not obvious to me right now).

Pav is the new Regina

13th would've given me an eleven(!)-way tie for my most common position, but instead a fifth 12th finally breaks that tie

Well done Iz, I tried hard to get behind the entry but I just couldn't on this occasion. However, over the years I have supported many of your leftfield choices and admired the courage you show to always stand out with something unique knowing that someday you'd get your crown. Great work.

I wonder if people will change up their entry plans now for a visit to the land down under if that's where they still are in the BJSC world map. I am rethinking my plans as we speak.

Thanks for the votes to get Black Mighty Orchestra into the final and into the Top 30 in the final. 24th is a unique position for Zanmatony so we are glad to tick that one off our bucket list!
