MODERATORS
Israel is also getting a suspicously high number of votes in last night's semi-finale. Higher then even Ukraine since the war with hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees spread throughout Europe who got their act to win in 2022.
It's so funny because if anybody watches this intercontinental embarrasment, the European Broadcast Union failson that "counts" the text message votes is treated with so much reverence every contest for a couple of minutes. If they don't do anything about it and Israel wins the "public" vote then the contest will have likely have to be hosted in Israel the next year.
Europe is such a an embarrassment.
:
The final score is split between the public vote and a panel of judges from every country. The votes you see from the presenters are the judges votes, then the televotes are added on at the end in reverse order, ending with the one who got the most votes from the public.
That's in the final, in the semi-finals they just say who goes in the finals and then the scores are posted online after the final.
But the public vote can have a huge sway on these things toward the end on Saturday. The juries or whatever they are called are between a rock in a hard place. Their vote is shown country by country weighted like 1 to 12 and many countries broadcasters will be afraid of looking antisemitic compared to a potential tidal wave in the public vote.
yeah, usually the jury vote is more biased than the public vote, like the exact opposite of what they are supposed to be
12 points from montenegro for serbia!!! Yeah sorry literally the same country...

Edit: Not really this time.
Yeah, nationalism plays a huge role in televotes.
