[Madison]

Je voudrais une exploratrice.

 

[win_the_game]

Where are the women in berets smoking cigarettes?

 

[Suedehead]

ETHEREAL MUSIC

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Was there a half second clip of Macron.

 

[Lucille]

Nice they’re celebrating all these women after the dramatic celebration to the one they brutally murdered earlier!

 

[Ellie]

This sounds SO SINISTER

 

[Madison]

None of these gold women are lookers.

 

[PercyPig]

What are these UGLY GRAPHICS?!?

We are truly spoiled by the BBC (I know they don’t produce everything but they do have knock on effect says Richard Osman)

 

[supermassive]

This feels like the EBU produced it.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

ETHEREAL MUSIC

I didn't want atmosphere, so this is perfect.

Although I do rather like it.

 

[win_the_game]

The complete lack of cinematography is unforgivable

So many shots of NOTHING.

 

[Lucille]

GASPING FOR AIR AT THE GRAND FINALÉ!!!!

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Dying at the ropey camera shots.

 

[Ellie]

 

[Lucille]

Couldn’t find a decent director? Why let POLANSKI live there otherwise?!?

 

[AGinAg (38)]

 

[Finn]

Kiribati has a LOVELY FLAG

 

[VoR]

Are San Marino just going to be two archers waving from a pedal boat?

 

[Ellie]

Couldn’t find a decent director? Why let POLANSKI live there otherwise?!?

Luc Besson could have livened this up a bit. Recreate the boat scene from Taken with the French team at the end.

 

[Tetris-Rock]

I feel like there is quite a lot of thought and detail has been put into this ceremony and it is all being lost because of the setting.

 

[Lucille]

LATVIA!

 

[Finn]

HELLO LIBERIAN FLAGBEARER

 

[Lucille]

I need you to zoom in so close on the Lebanese delegation I can smell the sweat drip down the Men’s hairy necks.

 

[Ill Advised]

 

[supermassive]

Are these BMX and sporty island portions sponsored by Decathlon?

 

[PercyPig]

I feel like there is quite a lot of thought and detail has been put into this ceremony and it is all being lost because of the setting.

Absolutely. If you think back to 2012 you can see how it would have all slotted in if it was in a stadium

 

[Madison]

I hope the sound mixer gets Ebola.

 

[Lucille]

Always the bottom

 

[VoR]

Nice of them to give Nemo a showcase, but isn’t he Swiss?

 

[PercyPig]

Honestly I don’t believe they can’t isolate the microphone picking up the rain

 

[Lucille]

Who’s this faggot?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Mona Lisa not even French!

She lives here now

 

[Lucille]

Did they set up these ramps but no one can ride them because of the rain?

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Nice of them to give Nemo a showcase, but isn’t he Swiss?

It would have been nice if it had been him.

 

[Lucille]

She lives here now

She’s HELD HOSTAGE you mean!

 

[Lucille]

She lives here now

It’s not like France is short of GREAT ARTISTS!

 

[AGinAg (38)]

It would have been nice if it had been him.

THEM

 

[Suedehead]

This feels like the EBU produced it.

Yeah that’s what Mr Suede just said

 

[ZenGiraffe]

She’s HELD HOSTAGE you mean!

FREE HER!

 

[Ellie]

Marshall Islands on a bloody speedboat.
