[Alla]

More points to Spain than us, ok, that's been noted Andorra

Those 12 don't count, it's like Greece-Cyprus.

 

[Dark Carnival]

yay Cyprus!

 

[Madison]

Pretty sure this was still the era of a random pre-drawn voting order. From memory the ordered point reveal started in 2011.

It's not random. It's the running order of the non-qualifiers from the semi, followed by the running order from the final.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Those 12 don't count, it's like Greece-Cyprus.

We didn't get Monaco's 12

[Dark Carnival]

Dublin the SPIRITUAL HOME OF EUROVISION

FUCK OFF

 

[D5K]

It's not random. It's the running order of the non-qualifiers from the semi, followed by the running order from the final.

There was one stage where it was predawn though?

 

[Alla]

And ran for President. Twice.

Is that true?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Is this Dana the one who won Eurovision?

No this is Dana Carvey from Wayne's World.

Oh this Finnish babe is SCREAMING

[win_the_game]

WOO! Javine clawing her way up to 20th place.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Why are Latvia getting points?

 

[D5K]

Why are Latvia getting points?

Sign-language heartstring tugging

 

[AGinAg (37)]

What even was Latvia?

 

[Alla]

Why are Latvia getting points?

Deaf people voting.

 

[win_the_game]

Why are Latvia getting points?

Europe's clearly DEAF.

 

[VoR]

Ireland do love a BIG BIRD WITH A BALLAD

 

[lolly]

What even was Latvia?

Cancer

 

[Penelope]

Is that true?

Yes!

 

[D5K]

This mega close voting is definitely more exciting with the scoreboard rearranging after every single point, which we’ve lost now

 

[lolly]

Ireland do love a BIG BIRD WITH A BALLAD

And tepid boybands

 

[Madison]

There was one stage where it was predawn though?

Yes - starting from 2006.

 

[Alla]

I don't remember the voting at all, but knowing the actual result is amazing.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Yay Hungary!

 

[VoR]

Does anybody remember watching this voting sequence live? Presumably we were all hammered but HOLY SHIT the tension!

 

[lolly]

I don't remember the voting at all, but knowing the actual result is amazing.

It's a fucking relief. I'd be spitting blood otherwise.

 

[win_the_game]

UKRAINE!! Fuck off.

 

[D5K]

Does anybody remember watching this voting sequence live? Presumably we were all hammered but HOLY SHIT the tension!

Don’t remember it at all!

 

[lolly]

RITA

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Does anybody remember watching this voting sequence live? Presumably we were all hammered but HOLY SHIT the tension!

No memory of ANY OF THIS SHOW. Not a second of it!

 

[Madison]

Does anybody remember watching this voting sequence live? Presumably we were all hammered but HOLY SHIT the tension!

I was in a room with Greeks in it. It became quite annoying.

 

[dmlaw]

Wogan really did deserve to die, didn't he.

 

[Alla]

The British one drinking! No shock there

 

[VoR]

Even I'd forgotten about Denmark getting that high
