I’ve been adding things up every day and it’s pretty open so far 👀

That’s so true Hope that awful maths isn’t a sign of my vote tallying skills

Less than 48 hours to get votes in and I’m still waiting on 50 countries xx

Daisy dares you !!!!

That is such an interesting post Bre, thank you!!! I feel guilty for being the host that revealed the end of three strong streaks 🥲

This era is a bit meh to me. I thought it'd be fun that she went back to a disco sound but I was quite enjoying the Radio 2 vibes of Hana and Familia. Her voice is just so pretty on those.

I am sooooo conflicted on how to vote. I have three 18-worthy songs I knew and loved already pre-contest, and three 18-worthy songs I’ve discovered by hosting. Normally I don’t listen as much as I have been as a host so I’m still more familiar with the ones I knew before but these newbies are rivalling the oldies. Yet giving some of them only 10 points feels SO wrong. Damn, this is high quality.

#VoteErikaJayne

you did finish one place higher than i announced you based on tie breaks though, if that's any consolation lol x

You scared me that I f***ed up the results even after triple checking Addy but your PM votes were different to this 🤣

SEMI FINAL 1: QUALIFIED: LOOKYLION (Lov3less - Gaslighter) SEMI FINAL 2: QUALIFIED: TRIFOSKI (Michelle - Oontz) It seems Oprah Winfrey has perked right up again after being seen crying at Kathaldazia's DNQ. These are the last two countries who will make up our final 41. SEMI FINAL 1: DID NOT QUALIFY: 21st MOTHERTOPIA (Priya Ragu - Vacation) SEMI FINAL 2: DID NOT QUALIFY: 21st UTOPIA (Relay Tapes - Violets) This gif of Octavia Spencer has been the mood of our household all day since I totalled up the votes. I hope you're all happy at creating such a sad working environment for your host </3 There was no deduction for Utopia in the end after their vote confusion but unfortunately they were just edged out of the qualifying spots anyway. and that's that.... I don't know how to blur out only the DNQ section of my spreadsheet so I'm just going to post a separate vote breakdown for those who didn't qualify, and then y'all can see the spreadsheets post-finale. In the end, deductions made no changes to the qualifiers.
