    Random question: Why was last year's juries/televoters split revealed in average ranking? Didn't it used to be the points from juries and televoters split in the past?

    The new system see's televoters rank songs from 1-25(26 for non finalists) then the juries do the same and they are added together to make the countries points, so the juries have the power to drag a televote 12 down to a 1 or even zero but it works the otherway too

    And i presume a Jury 12 can be dragged down to zero because of a very low televote.
    Does dynamic voting take into account the Semi Final televote. That would give a good indication of how most of the favourites( except the UK) are performing. Like for Example if Austria got a 12 from Slovenia in the Semi they likely to get high points from Slovenia in the final.

    So the juries have lots of work ahead of them in the finals, ranking every single song!!!! Imagine if the juries ranked a song in 25th but the televoting puts that song at 1st, or vice versa!!

    The jury result is already known to them.

    Once armed with this information they introduce an order designed to keep viewers interested.

    Of course we don't know what televoters will do but they'd have to really hate the jury picks to overturn a result

    I've long since come to terms with a producer-picked performance lineup, but I'm not sure I like this. Perhaps I shouldn't have asked. :(

    I made a quick map of the voting order tonight http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a231/Sam11235813/Eurovisionvotingordermap.jpg

    lighter countries vote earlier, darker countries vote later and light blue countries don't vote

    It's only based on the jury results so might not tell us anything though

    Rise Like A Phoenix sounds pretty good on the radio. I can imagine Radio 2 playlisting it.

    Just turned over for the last 10 minutes of 'The Only Way is Eurovision' on Heat and they played Infernal, The Black Eyed Peas and currently Basshunter. Can someone explain to me how they relate because I have no idea.

    If you don't start spreading these out, then we're going to end wooining the joke.
