This week's ranking from :fi: . After listening to all songs in full again I changed my opinion on some.
:12: :es: Spain (still stays on top)
:10: :lv: Latvia (+5 positions, it's actually a really high quality song)
:8: :au: Australia (+3 positions)
:7: :at: Austria (-2 positions)
:6: :cz...
I think this year Eaea is a masterpiece that should be a strong contender for the win. The fact it's not top 3 in rankings and betting odds makes it underrated in my opinion.

Points from :fi:
It is a strange (but good) feeling to have our own entry as my personal honest number one for the first time ever 😄
However, my actual points are:
:12: :es: Spain
:10: :cz: Czechia
:8: :sl: Slovenia
:7: :no: Norway
:6: :au: Australia
:5: :lv: Latvia
:4: :ee: Estonia...
My first ranking this year!
12p :cz: Czech republic - a powerful song!
10p :es: Spain - another powerful and captivating song
8p :sl: Slovenia - very catchy!
7p :no: Norway - a huge earworm
6p :ee: Estonia
5p :lv: Latvia
4p :hr: Croatia
3p :be: Belgium
2p :ua: Ukraine
1p :ro: Romania
I think one reason songs like this year's Australia and Azerbaijan get a low televote score is that voters know these songs will get a massive jury vote regardless. So they will save the televotes for entries that need them more to balance with the jury vote.
My final ranking from :fi: after the semifinals:
:12: :rs: Serbia - Konstrakta
:10: :ua: Ukraine - Kalush Orchestra
:8: :is: Iceland - Systur
:7: :lt: Lithuania - Monika Liu
:6: :uk: UK - Sam Ryder
:5: :pt: Portugal - Maro
:4: :se: Sweden - Cornelia Jakobs
:3: :nl: Netherlands - S10
