The UK entry is rubbish and will probably come last. The contest appears to be a 2 horse race between Israel and Cyprus. The former is a large lady that chicken noises, Cyprus is generic europop, but she's well fit innit (and it's quite well put together). Ireland have been backed in to about 9/1 third favs in the last 24 hours having been 1000/1 at one point. The main selling point appears to be that it has gays in it and China has banned it.

I think it's a pretty weak field this year, the first half in particular is a snorefest.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Any good bets?

I've got a spare £14.38 in my Betfair account. I'll be sticking some on the Fatherland Cyprus to win but anything else?

[Boydy]

Stuck a fiver on Ireland at 10/1. The gays love Eurovision.

[-james-]

Ireland aint winning.

I think these are bets at current prices:

Germany best big 5 @ 2.52
Albania top 15 @ 2.6
Albania top 10 @ 6
Moldova top 10 @ 2.52
Winner w/o 2 favs: Sweden @ 6
Sweden top 5 @ 2.62

Play of the night might be Cyprus after jury votes, where I expect it'll be behind a few others and will probably drift, but it should smash the televote.

Germany best big 5 @ 2.52
Albania top 15 @ 2.6
Albania top 10 @ 6
Moldova top 10 @ 2.52
Winner w/o 2 favs: Sweden @ 6
Sweden top 5 @ 2.62

The gays run Eurovision.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

£4.38 on Albania top 10 @ 6.5
£5 on Sweden top 4 @ 4.

I'll also put £5 on Cyprus after the jury votes if they have indeed drifted.

[wullie]

I had Norway to win originally, but his performance was a letdown. I'm glad Romania missed out, their song had a stage filled with terrifying faceless mannequins.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Such a slow start.

[niko_cee]

Evil Phonics turning out for THE Ukraine.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's just happy to be out of the Ukraine for a bit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

This is what I needed.

Thank you, Slovenia.

[Spikey M]

That Leprechaun was outraged at that call for audience participation.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That Leprechaun was outraged at that call for audience participation.

You'd think that the gays would like it though.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

[Spikey M]

Well, you did.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Well, you did.

My post was before the audience thing. I wasn't a fan of it and I think it ruined the performance slightly.

This Lithuanian is a stunner, shame her Husband looks like a thug.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was pretty crap but the dress was actually hypnotic at times.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

This is fucking awful, what a shambles of a song.

[Serj]

That Norwegian song is terrible even by Eurovision standards.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The UK really don't give a shit anymore do they? They're never going to pick someone who might even break the top 15.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

lol at the guy running on the stage.

[SvN]

Oh my God

[niko_cee]

Stage invasion sympathy vote is our best chance.

The UK never gave a shit, and I hope no one else does either.

Are Australia still pitching up for this?

[Serj]

What did he even say?

This is what Brexit got us.

Then why do they pay them so much?

Yeah, they're halfway through the final.

[SvN]

Is Utori still about to seethe his tits off?

[niko_cee]

Then why do they pay them so much?

Pity.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ed Sheeran mixed with Mick Hucknall.

[Spikey M]

German Ed Sheeran? That’s Mick Hucknall mate.

[Spikey M]

Fuck off, Monghow.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

[niko_cee]

Was that French song written by someone with access only to a first year french book and no other knowledge of the language?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What the fuck is this?

[Spikey M]

10 points. The white Jason Derulo.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Nice to see Tormund Giantsbane is doing something whilst not filming.

[Spikey M]

‘We’re Vikings you know’

It’s been over a thousand years. Get a new thing. What a shit country.

[Magic]

I always hated this shite even as a kid.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Hosts doing a dab

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Edging towards sexual assault there.

[Spikey M]

I bet there are some Feminists burning shit right now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

This is fucking brilliant.

I bet this is comedy in Moldova.

[Serj]

This is one of the best so far, chorus lets it down though.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The ending

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He sounds like his balls are in a vice.

[Spikey M]

What a cunt

[P_3]

This is horrid.

Think I like Moldova thus far.

[P_3]

Love this from Hungary.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I am not a fan at all.
