Damn, I left this game for like 3 days for Easter, and it has changed so much. Then everyone was just saving songs, and now yall are discussing cheating, the meaning of this game, secret strategies, what money this website makes e.t.c
But I love it.

The mentioned strategies are pretty cool but i kinda disagree with the up list strategy - if i see my favorite being close to elimination, i would try to save it early but if it appears to always be saved early, i wouldnt worry about it and probably wouldnt waste my save on it.

JAAAA ALBANIA !! NR 1!!

 

[Meldziel]

Congratulations to Albania! Also, it was a great fun playing with all of you guys (ok, maybe not with those who cheated :>)

 

[Looren]

Bad winner but anyway it's not important, we really had fun and thanks to everyone for this

 

[Skrzeczk]

Congrats, Ronela! Not really happy with this 1st place. Song from my bottom 3 won , but I respect your choice. At least it's not that predictable win, like Sweden, Italy, The Netherlands, France or Poland. I'm surprised that she is not very high in ESCUnited Ranking game. It was very close... someone could save Lithuania and Albania would be 24th. One saving can have huge impact on the results.

Overall results are ok. There are some interesting improvements, some interesting upsets, I really like most of the songs in top 6. My No.1 is 5th. It's a good result for "In Corpore Sano" . I really love this song. Nice to see Ochmann being 2nd (my country is my personal No. 8 this year). Somehow I expected him to do worse in this crazy game. I'm glad that "Stefania" got the bronze here. Ukraine sent to Eurovision really great song again. Latvia, Lithuania and Iceland could do better here but ok.

Thank you all for playing !

Soo yeah, i did save her that time! So happy for that.. But i like lithuania song to!

 

[Ana Raquel]

TALENT won

 

[Bobjan FR]

Happy with the winner, congrats albania ! ^^

 

[Mainshow]

I'm happy with the entire Top 11, tbh. Each entry would have been a great winner.
Albania has always been criminally underrated in Eurovision - even bullied by the producers.
It's great that it can shine on this forum.
It was a great game!

 

[Valts]

Last year Finland won and they got 6th in esc, I think that's a pretty realistic final result for Albania as well

 

[HarryUK]

Yesssss Ronela!!!! Now win the contest
