I am devastated that I wont be able to log in to GAF tonight!!! I want to whish everyone an outrageous night of Fremdscham and euro glam.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

sweden
estonia
latvia
serbia
Australia?
Italy?

 

[addik]

GAF, pray for me... I was going to air this over the internet, but some unannounced bullshit 4-night internet maintenance is threatening our plans. I might go to an internet cafe but its not as fun as watching it at home with beer. Gaaah....

 

[shink]

Will they even air the final in Australia? Isn't that like in the early morning for those down under?

As with previous years we actually do air it live and then in primetime in the evening.
Gonna watch it live for the first time.

But, I mean, how are you drinking in the morning?

Haha well I had a bit while watching the delayed telecast a couple of hours ago.

 

[CheDominik]

The plan was to have 3 friends come over but unfortunately that didn't work out because of a stomach bug that is going around. So it's only me, GAF and Johnnie Walker today.

Get another Johnny to join the party

I bought two liters of red red red wine. And I need to get wasted before the start, because I will probably break something if I heard our song sober one more time.

 

[Red Arremer]

I guess I'm the only person who doesn't watch this thing drunk.

You have about 5.5 hours to find a locale that is celebrating the contest in your vicinity. I'm sure there is one.

 

[DrM]

Quick look at odds, Sweden is gaining a bit on Russia, Italy, Belgium and Aussies are nearly even. Estonia has better odds today compared to previous day. Slovenia is dropping down, from 7th place after semifinal down to 13th - probably due to revealed running order

Nope, Philippines here so we're pretty much screwed

5 hours to go and the cable company couldnt give us a straight answer when this "maintenance" is over. We might just head to an internet cafe close by

 

[Gradon]

So, the final tonight! Watching recaps of previous years with my boyfriend. I loved 2012. The final tonight with a bunch of friends drinking + pizza, of course!
I think Sweden is going to win but I'm routing mostly for UK and Norway, but I'm also routing for Latvia, Georgia, Serbia, Israel, Sweden and Australia. There are too many ballads for my tastes but my favourite (Ireland) didn't get through.

 

[Red Arremer]

I'm currently watching the contest of 1974. The beginning of stage acrobatics must have happened some time in the 80s, because this stuff is so tame in comparison. It's just some songs lol.

Ah, shucks.

I too am routing for UK

Spoiler

to not get a single point come on Ireland don't do something stupid.

Yep, the UK getting nil pois is more exciting than who will win.

Ireland and Malta must abandon us, I think Electro Velvet will be enough to make that happen.

 

[Red Arremer]

I honestly believe the UK song will do better than expected.

 

[CheDominik]

I honestly believe the UK song will do better than expected.

Yeah, I think people will get tired of all those ballads(second semi already kinda showed this) so they will vote for anything else even if it's terrible. (See Lithuania getting through)

 

[DECK'ARD]

I honestly believe the UK song will do better than expected.

The alcohol required by the 5th performance for this to happen ensures those who like it will be in A&E and unable to vote.

 

[SecretMoblin]

France will get the fewest points of the prequalified entries (and maybe of the night).

It's bad.

 

[Kuntz]

Snacks, alcohol, GAF.
I'm ready for yet another great Euroshit.

I'm going in blind.

 

[DECK'ARD]

It's bad but jury-friendly. The UK has the potential to offend both public and juries alike, and I believe the scat bit will deliver us the precious nil pois.

 

[Red Arremer]

Apparently Jon Ola Sand has mentioned that Australia might in fact become a constant participant, though it's just thoughts for now.

 

[spunodi]

Party's on for this! UK represent. I actually like our entry for a change.

Does anyone have a link to any good Eurovision Bingo / drinking games?

Let em in! Let them all in!

I want to see what Japan would bring.

I was hoping for more like Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.

EUROVISION HYPE TRAIN LET'S GO

 

[Blablurn]

EUROVISION HYPE TRAIN LET'S GO

lol

does anyone have the bishpotl version?

 

[Jasup]

Less than 2 hours to go! I should probably start getting ready (drinking).

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Ok lets do this folks very exited to watch this again on GAF !
I'll be making as many live gifs as I can and off course posting them here

And for everyone watching for the first time with us welcome to the insanity that last around +- 3.5 hours a year

 

[Beaniedude]

I actually like UKs entry but I'm hoping against all hopes that Australia comes out victorious.
It would be a sight to behold.

I think there would be a chance if it was only the audience voting, but I guess the jury will do a lot to prevent australia winning

 

[Ikaran]

My favorites are Estonia, Slovenia, Belgium and Latvia, but probably only the last two will be in the Top 10. Russia or Sweden will win, unless Australia or Italy surprise tonight. And against the bets, I predict Norway and Azerbaijan doing really bad.

As for my country, please vote her, she's so sweet and hard-working and has a great voice and...

 

[oti]

12 points from Cyprus
12 points from Melbourne
8 points from Germany
and so on

Greece will win this.

 

[Red Arremer]

I'm upset I won't be able to finish both the 1975 and start/finish the 1976 contests. I'm already skipping the intro stuff and votings.

 

[Ansatz]

On oddchecker Sweden has like 1's, 11/10's and stuff.. the hell happend in the past couple of hours?

I still think Russia wins.

Let em in! Let them all in!

I want to see what Japan would bring.

Yohio obviously

 

[brokenbeans]

Only seen my home countries entry so far (England) but really looking forward to the contest.

 

[Milchmann]

Looking at the song order, the second half will be a drag. The fun performances are all in the first half.

 

[DrM]

Ladies and gents, start with your drinking if you are still sober

and do not vote for Slovenia.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Only 40 min left everyone take your pie break while you can because NO breaks for 3+ hours.

 

[Red Arremer]

Ladies and gents, start with your drinking if you are still sober

What if I don't want to be drunk, or generally do not drink any alcohol at all?

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Rooting for 'stralia and Hungary. Rooting against the UK because we suck. Le's go now!

 

[DrM]

You can start eating snacks

 

[TCRS]

you won't survive it

you'll be crying by the end

 

[Burbeting]

The most likely to win seems to be Italy, actually. They won the un-official oting done by the eurovision-fangroups all over the Europe (vote, that has actually predicted the winner pretty close for multiple years).

I do hope that Estonia wins. Their song is pretty nice.

 

[SecretMoblin]

When things move that fast every year there's speculation that results leaked to the bookies; the jury already voted so it's possible those results are out there. Also because the vote announcement order is calculated to make the vote reading "as exciting as possible" there are all sorts of theories about what it means that certain countries are announcing late and who that supposedly helps (this year, Sweden, apparently).

Why? Do you hate awesome air violins?

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

I'm in this camp I don't drink EVER and not this night I'll be fine.
I enjoy life enough without alcohol.

you won't survive it
you'll be crying by the end

Been watching every year with gaf for many years now and I love you all even without alcohol we will be fine

 

[DiddysKongQuest]

I'm watching the German preshow with lots of horrible artists on stage. Half hour to go!
