Do we see any next year?

Netherlands- The broadcaster is furious with EBU. Would they potentially flounce off?

UK - Crazy as it sounds is it actually a possibility?
I mean what exactly do we do now?

 

[AGinAg (39)]

Got a sneaking regard that Morocco might not enter next year.

Not a chance. The money per hour of content makes it ridiculously cheap (when we aren't hosting)

 

[Kaleen]

Netherlands will depend on the outcome of the investigation. I do think it’s a possibility though.

Czechia is constantly on a knife edge and the broadcaster there is being defunded I believe

And the ratings are also very low right?

 

[auretz]

Yeah (albeit not bad for the channel it’s shown on - I think they’re the only country where it’s not on the main channel) - it’s mostly a passion project of the delegation and also the Czech music industry has found it’s quite a useful tool

 

[Kaleen]

Moldova is another possibility I guess. It felt like this year they gave us as little as they possibly could. The most basic as fuck staging I have seen in years.

 

[VoR]

I don’t think there’ll be many/any

Czechia - As stated, they’re always on the cusp. Would be a huge shame though.

Australia - Though I suspect they’ll want to stick it out for their tenth anniversary.

San Marino - Their broadcaster is apparently in significant financial trouble.

Can’t imagine anyone else being at major risk though.

 

[VoR]

Moldova will be fine. They just had an off year.

Romania showed it on their state broadcaster which almost no one watches. I guess that didn’t help things with them.

Azerbaijan would be nice, as much as I enjoyed the twins last year. Two NQs and entries that give low effort, do they care enough anymore?

 

[Penelope]

Australia have got to be a big flight risk, no?

No big loss. They are on the aggressor list + they have been shit lately.

 

[Lucille]

Not a withdrawal as much as a potential return, but North Macedonia's government has just swung heavily towards the nationalist party in recent elections. This may cause them some difficulties if they continue down this road...

 

[Kratz]

Oh Greece will be getting ready to clutch its pearls again

 

[Kratz]

And yeah no chance of UK leaving. We’ve had far greater indignities than 18th and returned.

 

[Marina Salty]

Oh Greece will be getting ready to clutch its pearls again

And they're still on really bad terms with Bulgaria.

 

[Lucille]

We really need an Eastern European win soon, surely Serbia can pull one off in the next 5 years?

 

[Penelope]

Was Ukraine NOT ENOUGH for you?

 

[Penelope]

Personally I'd quite like a return to GREECE soon - it's been LONG ENOUGH!

 

[Lucille]

I mean one that results in a contest being held there as well!

 

[auretz]

Thinking back to where we were in 2008, it feels amazing that we’re now wondering if a country east of Vienna can ever win again things keep shifting, maybe this time in a decade we’ll be tired of the third Sammarinese win

 

[Penelope]

I want BIOTEN GALORE and a HELENA INTERVAL!

 

[Penelope]

A France win feels like it can really only be a matter of time at this point.

 

[Lucille]

I’d love a contest in MARSEILLE!

 

[Penelope]

Oh I imagine the fandom would be forced into being TUTTED AND SPAT AT TO DEATH by the RUDE PARISIAN THRONG

 

[win_the_game]

I’d love a contest in MARSEILLE!

So you can live out your Eric Videos fantasy?

I think Olly showed how WELL ADVISED THAT IS

They're on back-to-back wins already!
