Once again, they didn’t have the EBU reps actually talk. Were they trying to avoid having to deal with the boos as they started to present the vote? #SBSEurovision
Even when it’s not in English, and even when they’re not technically Swedes (KAJ are technically Finnish), the Swedish Eurovision entries always seem to click really well with Aussies. #SBSEurovision
Denmark’s coat at the start looked like it was made out of old hair scrunchies and those puffy things for exfoliating for the shower. #SBSEurovision
This entry from Switzerland is… fine, I guess? It’s not horrible, but it’s not amazing either. Im just neutral about it. #SBSEurovision
And people said Australia’s entry was too sexual. At least we had the decency to hide our jokes about cum with the fig leaf of a milkshake. #SBSEurovision
Honestly, I preferred Ireland’s take on this kind of general aesthetic last year. #SBSEurovision
I always do a bit of a double take when our commentator uses the term “twink” to describe someone. Not least because the first time I heard that word was in a completely different context and meaning (fully kitted out lv 19 players in WoW battlegrounds) to this gay slang term. ^^;; #SBSEurovision
Okay, reading that last post back, I’ve clearly reached the point in my Eurovision drinking games where my posts are coming out a bit confused. ^^;; #SBSEurovision
Are we really sure this lot aren’t Jedward in Mission Impossible style masks? We saw Eurovision being interviewed at Semi Final 2, so we know they’re there. #SBSEurovision
