KEY: Q - QUALIFIER (from semi finals) / PF - Position in the Final (our qualifiers) / TIES resolved by highest split jury position

OUR WINNER IS: RUSSIA with ITALY and SERBIA completing the top 3

OUR TOP 10 ARE: Russia, Italy, Serbia, Australia, France, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Latvia, Hungary and Azerbaijan

OUR SEMI FINAL 1 QUALIFIERS ARE: Russia, Cyprus, Hungary, Azerbaijan, Netherlands, Iceland, Croatia, Austria, Czech Republic and Estonia

OUR SEMI FINAL 2 QUALIFIERS ARE: Serbia, Australia, Bulgaria, Latvia, Macedonia, Norway, Ireland, Poland, Ukraine and Lithuania

ANALYSIS:

- The UK Jury's Number 1 is SERBIA and the International Jury's Number 1 is ITALY.

- Only 1 point splits the top 3 - and only 5 points split the top 5 - could it be that close?

- By changing the song, Malta jumps 6 places, but still fails to make our finalists. (Chameleon would be 30th on our list).

- Germany would come last again according to our voting.

- Sweden could get close to their 1992 hosting result.

- Albania's final version stays in the same position after an update.

- Israel's final version jumped up 1 place following an update.

- Semi Final 1 looks the toughest to qualify from, with our 10 qualifiers from it all finishing in the top 17 overall.

- The biggest difference between the UK and the International jury is a whopping 20 places for Latvia and Hungary (strange that one jury places one of them in 2nd place and the other in 22nd place, and vice-versa).

- The UK and International juries only agree on 4 countries (positions-wise) - Russia, Macedonia, Denmark and Montenegro.

- Using the last 6 years of results, the real winner could be AUSTRALIA (we placed Sweden 4th in 2015), LATVIA (we placed Austria 8th in 2014), AZERBAIJAN (we placed Denmark 10th in 2013), RUSSIA (we placed Sweden 1st in 2012), FRANCE (we placed Azerbaijan 5th in 2011) or LITHUANIA (we placed Germany 26th (!) in 2010).
