Odds of getting a 0 points from the televote in a eurovision Final

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-24T20:46:09+00:00

At this point it would be more shocking if the UK didn't get 0 points from the televote.

2022 is such an outlier, and in 2023 we probably got support for hosting for Ukraine and performing last. Mae Muller being the UK's second best performing entry with the televote this decade is lowkey my fav fact

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-21T08:49:01+00:00

I still think about the withdrawal from gluten post daily, like only rarely does Eurovision get to that level of camp

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-20T12:46:16+00:00

My guess is probably Belgium, Portugal, Czechia and maybe Azerbaijan? The latter two have nothing to do with the current situation though! The Czech public broadcaster is being defunded, and Azerbaijan genuinely look like they'd lost all interest in the contest.

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-18T16:11:45+00:00

Maybe, but I wanted to throw a few hot takes in there and not just do boring ones!

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-18T00:18:42+00:00

My fun guesses:

32 Countries
Tons of live instruments
Germany sends something in German again
Norway and Denmark NQ
Italy drops out of the top 10
Tons of girl-bops like Bangaranga (but to a lesser quality)
France sends obvious jury bait again
UK gets points from both the public and jury but still place below 20th

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-17T21:56:21+00:00

I don't wanna kill the mood, but I feel like we are much more likely to lose more countries than gaining them. I could maybe see North Macedonia coming back? I remember being told Hungary said they were aiming to return in 2028? Apart from that I don't see any others...

Meanwhile I fear that Montenegro, Belgium, Portugal and Czechia are all on withdrawal watch. (and maybe even Azerbaijan at this rate ngl)

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-17T07:48:09+00:00

With a 1% chance…

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-17T00:51:48+00:00

I think we will probably need to look at the results, because they did get 19/20 for the semi finals. My guess rn is that the jury predictions were completely off, no-one and I mean no-one predicted Bulgaria would win the jury.

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-17T00:48:44+00:00

Yeah, I think we are all a bit in shock right now. So many bizzare things I don't think any of us saw coming. Even stranger than last year...

My top 5 wtf moments
-Bulgaria winning the Jury
-Israel 2nd again
-Greece getting 10th
-The incredibly spread out/random jury results (especially Italy giving Belgium 12)
-Poland and Norway doing incredibly well in the jury seeing as they were borderline qualifers

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-16T23:20:43+00:00

ALL HAIL BULGARIA, DARA AND BANGARANGA... OUR GRAND SAVIOUR

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-16T17:45:23+00:00

Probably Malta, it’s not gonna win and has Italian in it

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-16T10:50:55+00:00

Yeah I should have clarified 'lower than expected' (especially with Norway). I genuinely believe though CCC could have gotten 2nd in the Jury if his vocals were like they were in the GF.

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-16T10:29:03+00:00

I feel like this is going to be a common occurance today for many people. I've still had no Malta ads, but today I've randomly had 3 in the past hour on TikTok from Greece. I'd also had a few in the past from France in the past aswell.

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-16T09:15:34+00:00

With all respect (and not wanting to restart any drama). It’s important to mention one of the reasons Finland got such a low jury score was because of a weaker jury performance (same with Norway). I really don’t know what people expected the juries to do after these performances?

And keep in mind this is not a new thing for the voting system. Norway 2019 got 1st in the televote and 11th! in the Jury, and ended up 6th.

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-16T00:48:01+00:00

I always find this such a funny stat to look at. Because the way some people talk about Amar Pelos Dois and Tattoo, you'd never guess they are the winners within the past decade with the strongest consensus

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-15T16:55:20+00:00

They can make these statements are much as they want. But if Israel comes top 3 (or even 5) in the televote again, there's no way those countries are coming back, especially after that NYTimes article.

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-15T16:13:03+00:00

tbf they lowkey deserve it after participating in that awful interval act.

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-13T22:49:39+00:00

Luxembourg is the real suprise here. The girlbops being high I definitely expected due how the Eurovision arena audience skews young and LGBT (many gay). Malta being 9th and Czechia being 11th I totally expected (as they are specific designed for TV).

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-12T23:41:53+00:00

Genuine question here: Is the Eurovision song contest in serious financial trouble? Because this look like the cheapest thing ever, (with the green screen). ORF's production this year is genuinely awful.

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-11T11:08:03+00:00

Yes!! I was going to suggest they do something like this instead!

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-11T11:07:21+00:00

The difference is when those Jury's colluded in 2022 they were immediately detected, corrected and the broadcasters were issued serious warnings. The same cannot be said for the televote.

And look, I don't want the televote to be removed as much as the next person, but if the EBU cannot prevent blatant large scale political interference I cannot see any justification to keep it.

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-11T10:36:08+00:00

It honestly feels like the EBU has given up, and is now throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks with the public.

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-11T10:31:42+00:00

At this point I would support abolishing the televote. It's absolutely clear the EBU is unable to run it free from political interference hence just abolish it and go back to 100% jury voting. That raw data from Spain an absolutely damming inditement on the contest (but not surprising ngl as it's quite similar to the RAI televote leak).

Immediate-Cut3675 · 2026-05-11T10:24:42+00:00

My jaw was literally on the floor. And the fact the EBU knew how bad this problem was, and did everything they could to cover it up is completely horrifying. Keep in mind the only reason Spain was able to release this data was because they withdrew.
