Back in Brum. Looking forward to the results and a new playlist to distract from the post break blues, especially as we're being treated to a second Eurovision week in a row.

I'm probably not going to cancel my Kiev hotel room until tomorrow, just in case...

Odessa does look gorgeous though, Eurovision needs a proper seaside contest!

Really looking forward to tonight's playlist, seeing as I've got bugger all to do for the next month - I may as well make a triumphant return

Interesting. One thing I did notice was that the governor of Odessa is Mikheil Saakashvili, who was president of Georgia when they went to war with Russia a few years back, We Don't Wanna Put In and all that. Might have no impact at all but wonder whether that would put Russia off taking part even further.

I notice a lot of the Odessa has won talk, is coming from Odessa itself unsurprisingly! I'm not complaining though I always wanted Odessa to win just to have somewhere non-obvious and of course for Eurovision-by-the-sea. Although I think the travelling fans would be well advised to pack a few jumpers rather than tank tops and shorts.

That puts an interesting twist on things!

I'm just awaiting votes from thms, avb, brb and ChickensFromKiev now.

All votes by 5pm, otherwise you're in for a stern ticking off.

I wonder how much a boat room would cost? In Odessa

Just been checking out maps as my geography is shocking - looks like there will be a lot of Moldovans in Odessa, and I've found a beautiful beach resort hotel, just need absolute confirmed dates and I'm all over that!

Welcome to the results!

I have to say this is one of our strongest Euro playlists in a while (if I do say so myself). It's been a relatively close vote, but we do have a winner.

However, before we see who finished first, we need to see who finished 20th-2nd.

So, here we go..

Wooden spoon in a contest I was hosting! Oh the shame, the shame of it all...

I knew I should have stuck to my first choice (which was Hero, for anyone interested).

Our first non-voter of the eve. Really enjoyed this, just not enough to give it points. Another classic example of an Icelandic song getting screwed over!

Genuinely surprised this one didn't do better. An absolute legend of the contest, and with something that is so uniquely Italian.

The winner of our first tie (and also winner of 'Serbia's Smuggest Man 2004-2016)...

I still can't hear anything but Paradise in the opening strains of this.
