Surely a wooden spoon (with a little gold star on it)

LAND OF DW AQUAFINA And we lose out on a nation who spent 3/4 of the voting period also on 0... 28th Pestolia 8

After the excitement of all that, back to normality with some more qualifiers... ZANMATONY JUPITERDONIA

NEW LEXICO REPUBLIQUE D'ÁSKORZA And no, I was not lying, nor am I Bre and able to recall eleventy trillion BJSC facts at the touch of a button. We do indeed have the hallowed NUL POINTS in the form of... 29th Trifoski 0

Moving on to Semi 2, up first we have a nation whose name literally means ''the opposite of Altyr Muunilinst'' and breaking a 43 contest DNQ streak, a nation return to the final for the first time since Cleopatra was on the throne... N DNTN COR LUPUS

Through to the final: SCHERZLAND FSR RONTVIA Leaving us: 21st Buzzjack Mountain 33 (33% Deduction) 22nd Mosquetania 33

So that leaves us 4 songs, with only 2 spaces left in the final from Semi 1: FSR Rontvia Scherzland Mosquetania Buzzjack Mountain Scherzland suffered a 15% deduction and Buzzjack Mountain suffered a 33% deduction, but did that cost them a place in the final?

DOBAGO HENDINIA So close, but yet so far (well, 11 points to be precise) 23rd Seyetana 24

HUSHKANUKIA FARC It did look like they might make it at the half way point of voting, but alas twas not meant to be for... 24th Suedeonia 23

SOVARASMA NICELAND The eagle eyed among you will note that it was also NOT this nation that cost themselves a place in the final by not voting... 25th Aesthetica 20 (33% Deduction)

[MerylStreepinMammaMia]ARE YOU READY FOR SOME MORE?[/MerylStreepinMammaMia] REPUBLIC OF ADONIA JADAKISSNIA Alas that also means we must send another entry off to the dog food factory... 26th Greenfroze 16

Up next and off to the final, it's... CUMULONIMBIA ROLLOLAND But we also say goodbye to Pagasa, who also suffered a discount (not that it would have made any difference, oops) 27th PAGASA 10 (33% Deduction)

I spent most of 2021 doing that - 2 DNQ's later and I have gone with my 'gut' every month (and been top 10 every time)

Joining our other successful nations tonight, we have... KATHALDAZIA HARMONICA But that also means we have to say goodbye to another nation (and they can't even blame a deduction)... 28th QUINTESSA 9

LOOKYLION SUMMERICIA

Through to the final... KLUMINICAN REPUBLIC AEROCHE Being deported from Altyr on the first flight to anywhere... 29th East Rukahavian 9 (33% Deduction)

In my defence, Hello to was due to SUB-STANDARD broadband (not sure WHAT my excuse will be tonight)

I will be revealing the results from SEMI ONE first, as means of somehow falling below even your lowest expectations. Kicking us off and straight through to the final, we have... ST. BURBIA TAAHINO

I am here! I have a large gin and multiple spreadsheets so something is bound to go wrong, but let's get this show on the road and FIND OUT

CXLIII SEMI FINAL RESULTS ALTYR MUUNILINST Join us in a little over an hour to find out who has qualified to the final this month.
