Weird, after nearly 7 years of using this forum, nobody has ever referred to me as 'Dancer'.

You'll get my votes later in the week when I've whittled down my top 10.

I always get confused as to who is Foxy! *whamp whamp* I am a Strictly fan so Dancer just sounds nicer!

I'm fairly sure it will be Kiev which will be the biggest damp squib to end all damp squibs. But I hope I'm wrong.

I'm stuck with a very funny mental image of the band trying to break into your house Dawn of the Dead style whilst singing Coming Home as you try to defend yourself with a shotgun.

I vaguely know, just giving them a few more plays yet.

Lol, Eurovision trending on Twitter right now because of how utterly ESC the Democrats nominations is right now.

Not really, to visit all three cities and make a decision in three days seemed a bit rushed, it's better to take a bit more time and make the right decision. Jon Olalalala has been to Kiev and Dnipro now, I presume they're going to Odessa tomorrow. There's clearly a bit of logistical stuff to sort out too in terms of financing/potentially moving the hockey to Kharkiv.

Vienna wasn't announced until early August two years ago, Copenhagen wasn't announced until September three years ago, so a few more days isn't going to hurt.

Personally I'm rooting for Dnipro having seen the arena, it looks lovely.

JOS does not look amused.

But hey at least Dnipro can deliver on boat parties. It's clearly going to be Kiev, but a 'Leicester' style surprise would be nice.

Sounds like the Ukrainian government have allocated 15 million Euros (£12.5m) to hosting the contest. I guess this will be higher once you take into account advertising, sponsors, etc.

In comparison

Baku - £48 Million
Malmo - £17 million
Copenhagen - £36 million
Vienna - £28 million
Stockholm - Budgeted £11 million, but can't find a final figure

The Ukrainian broadcaster is also airing a behind the scenes look of the city inspections tonight :s It's like X Factor The mayor if Dnipro is also throwing some shade at Odessa, saying they don't have a chance

I am, later in the year. There's two Non-Fantasy between each Fantasy Heat.

You can start PMing your entries to me!

You should all know the rules by now. First come, first served, no ESC, NF or previous Fantasy Heat entries allowed. Check the wiki to be sure. The naughty non-voter of Heat 1 is DQ'ed from this heat... I'll have to trawl back through to find out who that was.

Submissions will close at 5pm Sunday 31st July and the playlist will follow after the results of the Best Bottom 10s contest.

Good luck!
