Three way tie between @Summer in Transylvania, @Azrael and @MariNisia at the top of the table

Israel have played this wrong. They could have leant into the ethos of the competition and gone with some humility and talked about a peaceful future but this young girl is being used a propaganda. The EBU have lost a lot of good will and Holland was clearly one of the favourites

I was in Ethiopia when The Timeless Child episode was broadcast and I wasn't able to watch it for over a week. There was nothing online which was a coherent critique of what was actually on screen. Those that praised it just gushed with little supporting evidence and those that hated it did so with very little coherence. I might watch Space Babies tomorrow morning or I might do a double bill on Sunday.

My third unique for my theme team
