Addy!

Same lol but I kinda get the Beyonce - Naughty Girl even though they are nowhere near remotely the same, but it's just what I kept hearing it in some parts!!!

I mean, we could very well have Explozja onboard as well, and have us all fly Outside and go to Heaven!!! Thanks to Nelly for sneaking a bomb in her suitcase!!!

Also a friendly reminder, even though you have DNQ'ed, you are still required to vote in the finals...failure to do so will result a ban in BJSC187 contest!!!

Would you have preferred to close the finals, and have everyone leave during the listen session!!! I think I did you a favor by having you go this early, they have no choice but sit through your song!!!

ATTENTION ALL PASSENGERS This is an important announcement from Bøtanikkä Airways Operations. During our upgrade process, one passenger successfully cleared all security checks, passed immigration, and was fully eligible to board...but somehow never had their name called at the gate. After reviewing the passenger manifest, we have discovered that FARC was, in fact, holding a valid Business Class boarding pass all along. We sincerely apologize for the gate announcement oversight. Please proceed immediately through the priority boarding lane, where our cabin crew will be waiting with a complimentary glass of champagne. Welcome aboard the Grand Final, FARC 🥂

No, but some people were sitting in the wrong seats and had to reorganize them!!!

Thank you everyone who joined us for the results <3.

But who made it out of @Qween and @pavi? I must say though, one of you lost in a three way tie Short hydration break

Despite not voting on time and receiving -15% from their score, @Travis still managed to defy the odds and snatch a seat in business class! Congratulations hun!!!

And now we only have 3 countries left fighting for 2 spots in Business Class!!! @Travis @Qween and @pavi please come to the gate 2 and see the agent!!!

Sorry mothers but your bid of Ƀ46 were impressive but unfortunately, it wasn't among the highest offers received today. Your journey ends here, but thank you for choosing Bøtanikkä Airways. 22 Mothertopia Sophie Powers & Lexie Liu - klepto 46 But good news for you @*Ben*, as you have made it to the finals <3
