02/52 FSR Rontvia off to a great start from the first couple of voters Danaeviia also off to a great start with the first 18 of the evening Nelionoir not far behind though Cody already higher than he predicted he'd get in the whole evening

Commiserations to Taahino and Trifoski - both narrowly missing out on points!

Right then... we're about ready to kick off by heading over to East Rukahavian - I'll post an updated table every other vote so you can keep an eye on how everyone (but mainly you) are getting on!

Awww is it your birthday or Lewww’s? Happy birthday to half of Klumroche either way

Also THIS was the look I got from Mr D* earlier when I explained we couldn't watch the final of Sewing Bee live because I was going to be presenting the results of a pretend song contest

It's not impossible if the person listened to both semis (which I suspect Mack did to be fair as his votes did contain entries from both)

Results will be presented in order of receipt (with one very very minor change as I couldn't resist), which means we'll be beginning with one extreme of East Rukahavian who managed to vote pretty much as the final thread was opened and ending with the other extreme of Scotland2 who managed to ace the time extension as they voted literally as I was boarding my train yesterday at about 6am.

The Fljótavíkian representatives are delighted to open the final results show as this evening we find out how the 52 countries in BJSC177 have voted and ultimately who will take the crown. The 41 finalists are lined up below awaiting their fate. Will the odds and predictions have been accurate? Will any of the dark horses gallop all the way to the top 10, or maybe even victory? Will Cor Lupus obtain victory or sadly have to endure yet another 2025 flop by finishing second or lower? All of these questions shall be answered from 8pm this evening. (Hope the above table is actually legible enough for everyone - just added it to the post and the image quality looks really quite fuzzy for me right now not gonna lie but hopefully it will be passable as it's too late to do them all again eeeek)

I really love Freak Like Me, that and Lose Yourself are solid 10s

Oh god - fingers crossed I didn’t make an error that affects the winner then 😂🫣

…right I think everything is complete now and can confirm that Yehesi were the only non-voters so thank you to everyone else for sending your scores through - and hope we see you back in the not too distant future Tim! I’ve got my fingers crossed that I’ve totalled everything okay but I’ve had to rush this more than I’d have liked so Brer may want to have his calculator at the ready. Although any scoreboard errors will have to stay as I’ve had to do images 😢 - fingers crossed there won’t be any I’ll try to start between 7:30 and 8 tomorrow, hope to see you there!

God all of the tracks beginning with d are amazing, it’s just growing and growing

Agree that Just a Little is a really strong single, quite far ahead of everything else so far for me <3

I’ve had a Quick Look through and I think everyone has voted aside from Yehesi - but I’m doing this by memory so who knows how accurate that will be 😂

I submitted something earlier, wish I’d had longer to think about it properly rather than going with the first thing that came to mind but it’s been a hectic time so it will have to do

Last month's infohazard/deal top 2 is probably my favourite ever - and both the albums they are from are really strong too. Loving this at the moment, it's great fun and really pretty varied too

It's been really intriguing watching this all unfold as the week has progressed, especially when compared to the semi results and predictions. I'll be doing the final results in order of receipt as I'm having to do the prep as I go along as I've been ridiculously hectic this past fortnight, so you'll get the same story as I have done... however that pans out as there's still about 20 sets of votes to come in. To those who are still to vote - I'm not going to be super picky about the midnight deadline because I have a 5:15 start in the morning so there's no way I'll be up at midnight for it to make a difference, but I do want to try and get the rest of my prep completed on the train to and from my course tomorrow so if you could be aiming for before you go to bed, rather than tomorrow morning then that would be appreciated
