The eighth poll is over.

 

Some news:

 

1. Lowest slump.

Only 19 votes! Let's have some more please.

 

2. Nelly Furtado - Say It Right

The song has made the Top 5, at fourth equal, yay! So, the song is now officially retired and will definetely be moving to the semis. As promised, five points will be awarded for retiring, two points for being 4th equal in RR6 and they will have one more poll where it will come from the retiree poll - where you rate the song. The score with the majority votes will be added (for example: if the majority votes goes to "7", 7 points will be added to the song's score). The songs which will replace Nelly Furtado - Say It Right are Calvin Harris - Acceptable in the 80s, Reverend & The Makers - He Said He Loved Me and Newton Faulkner - Dream Catch Me, for these songs came 6th equal. Because Nelly Furtado - Say It Right is now retired, the 6th place will fill in the fifth spot.

 

3. Siobhan Donaghy - Don't Give It Up

This is the FINAL poll for Siobhan Donaghy - Don't Give It Up, as the song reached its fifth poll. So, if the song is in the Top 5, it will be retired and of course, it will be considered for semi-finals. But, as a reward for being retired, the song will get extra 5 points (for retiring), something from the bonus retiree poll, and their placing points from RR6. If the song does not get into the Top 5, the song will get 2 points instead (for being in the poll five times).

 

So, here are the official results (Purple denotes being safe, Red denotes being eliminated, Green denotes being retired):

 

Round Robin 8/20 - Total votes: 19 (as of 11:30pm, October 20 - NOT TAKING ANYMORE VOTES AFTERWARDS AS ROUND ROBIN 8/20 IS CLOSED)

Key legend: e means "placings equal" - eg. 2e means 2nd equal. rp means "replacement" - eg 6rp means the song came 6th, but it is allowed on the poll, because it replaces the song which is retired. rpe means "placings equal" + "replacement"
