three day break from my internship starts now great things are coming (panicking over festival da canção)

tap tap is this thing still on

flag emojis continue being awful

so my bluesky moots don't miss out:

as a jobless eurofan i have decided to simulate tomorrow's allocation draw through a picker wheel. here are the results

SF1
1st half: 🇨🇿🏁🇦🇱🇸🇲🇦🇿🇬🇷🇳🇴
2nd half: 🇲🇹🇦🇺🇧🇪🇺🇦🇷🇸🇫🇮🇳🇱🇦🇹

festival da canção

and what a day it would continue to be

wow what a day. i know it's still morning but wow what a day it's already been

make me dizzy from your big mac
will you take my fries and spin them
round and round until the ketchup never endsss

(also oh my god will someone please make flag emojis work on this platform for once. i hope you all know two-letter country codes by heart to decipher this)

full table of averages between each 2025 semifinalist in the televoting from 2014 forward. the two-letter code columns mean the average points given while the full name rows equate to the points received (e.g. Albania has given Armenia in average 2.00 televote points)

and that concludes the first bruno stats thread of 2025! hope you enjoyed these pot simulations and for those curious i'll leave you with a scoreboard with all the televoting point avgs given/received from 2014 forward (only the 2025 semifinalists). see you next time for more x

if i were to predict on the 2025 pots myself, i doubt much changes from last year. my guess is 🇲🇪 will replace 🇨🇭 in pot 1 and 🇸🇪 clearly fills their vacant spot in pot 2. going back to a 6-pot distribution like in 2022 would make it more unpredictable but i doubt it will happen

this last distribution set does seem to strengthen the groups' average point trades by limiting outsiders in and does bring closer countries which would make more sense to be together in a pot (e.g. 🇱🇺 in the same pot as 🇧🇪 and 🇳🇱). but as always that's up to the ebu to decide!

how about a 6-pot distribution, you ask? let's apply the same standards but with a 6 country limit on each pot!

POT 1: 🇦🇹 🇭🇷 🇲🇪 🇷🇸 🇸🇮 (6.72)
POT 2: 🇪🇪 🇫🇮 🇮🇪 🇱🇻 🇱🇹 (5.86)
POT 3: 🇦🇱 🇦🇲 🇨🇾 🇬🇪 🇬🇷 (5.34)
POT 4: 🇦🇺 🇩🇰 🇮🇸 🇲🇹 🇳🇴 🇸🇪 (5.26)
POT 5: 🇧🇪 🇮🇱 🇱🇺 🇳🇱 🇵🇹 (4.54)
POT 6: 🇦🇿 🇨🇿 🇲🇩 🇵🇱 🇸🇲 🇺🇦 (4.42)

this last pot has mostly been brought together by their love for 🇺🇦, which is stronger in 🇵🇱 (9.7), 🇲🇩 (7.8) and 🇨🇿 (7). 🇧🇪🇳🇱 seem lost by themselves at first glance with a 8.7 average point trade but they maintain healthy relations with 🇵🇱 (especially 🇧🇪 with a 5.45 average)

POT 5

🇦🇿 azerbaijan
🇧🇪 belgium
🇨🇿 czechia
🇲🇩 moldova
🇳🇱 netherlands
🇵🇱 poland
🇺🇦 ukraine

average point trade: 4.16

the 🇨🇾🇬🇷 11.76 point trade is unbeatable followed by 🇦🇲🇬🇪 with 9.81 but 🇦🇱🇬🇷 are also looking strong with 7.82 while 🇬🇷🇦🇲 also maintain a healthy 5.66 avg. meanwhile 🇸🇲's addition to the pot was helped by the fact their aggregate televote is heavily based on 🇨🇾🇬🇷 voting patterns

POT 4

🇦🇱 albania
🇦🇲 armenia
🇨🇾 cyprus
🇬🇪 georgia
🇬🇷 greece
🇸🇲 san marino

average point trade: 4.40
