Eurovision 2024: Semi-Final 2 (8PM BST)

I would imagine the number of votes cast in Italy for a semi final are rather small, so a motivated group could probably achieve that - I seem to remember Romania and Albania getting similar landslides in Italian votes before. Far more people will vote come Saturday
 
I don't know anyone here that can stand Italians in general. The worse.

True but it’s a big bloody country also - not sure how easily you can move the percentages by that much in Italy
 
Israel into second favourite on Sky Bet

Those numbers must be spreading fast
 
Oh God will Malmö survive a potential Israel victory?
 
Can you even imagine a Eurovision held in Israel in these circumstances?

This is what i’ve said for the whole length of time i’ve been a fan - as long as a country is in it, they could win it. It is then down to the EBU to deal with the shitshow of the contest being in the likes of Israel, or previously Russia. It’s not worth the fucking risk.
 
Yes it would proceed in a meaningful way? In a country where the pressure to boycott the contest would be immense, and at present couldn't guarantee the security of the people that did end up attending?
Exactly. I completely agree. It wouldn’t.

And that’s before you even get into the politics of Israel wanting to host and the EBU saying no. What do Israel’s allies like UK and Germany do then? Pull out with them?

The whole thing will descend into chaos.
 
This may be all be moot if it gets 5 from the juries

Exactly, a 40% among 15 countries is madness, and not even a large group of people can't do that in a country like Italy. The fact that this leaked and every one will be aware by tomorrow will encourage every single pro-Israel person to vote on Saturday. They will probably win the televote with an insane number.
 
I’d be surprised. The juries will have people against it for sure and it’s more of a “vs” vote than a televote.
 
An Israeli win would really seal the clusterfuck that this year has been. And it would absolutely be a mess of the EBU's own making.
