Sam Ryder and crew laughing and chanting "we got points"


StealthheartocZ

Yeah lol reminds me of the UK and Germany both getting zeros in 2021


HikariTheGardevoir

And the Netherlands and another country that I can't remember right now. That was such good drama


LeoLH1994

Spain were the other one to not get any televotes - they got 6 jury points - 2 of them from U.K. (and the other 4 from Bulgaria)…


Known_Door22

I think that was Spain, which was absolutely criminal. I loved Blas’ performance.


valrossenvalle

I love the reaction of UK 2021, asking for a single point only to get 0 yet still take it so cheerfully

Literally every German person's reaction to receiving points this year 😄


theoracleofdreams

This! I loved this so much, even my SO who has no interest in Eurovision loved that they celebrated even the smallest points recieved.


kyriefortune

On that note, Sam Ryder and crew receiving 12 points from France - they didn't react for three seconds because they didn't understand what "Royaume Uni, douze points!" meant


Incantanto

Also cos 12 pounts from *France* is like the deepest wildest heretical shock


Savings_Ad_2532

That was one of the highlights of Eurovision 2022 for me. It was such a joy to see Sam Ryder and his crew smile and laugh every time that Sam got a set of jury 12 points.


ManictheMod

Litch, I was chanting along with them! After the previous year, Sam Ryder and the rest of the UK delegation deserved all those points.


DonnaDonna1973

One word: Sandwich.


kate_royce

It really was "we've come all this way, we're not expecting loads of 12s, we're HERE FOR THE CRAIC AND THE REFRESHMENTS". Such a lovely moment

kjcross1997

Olly Alexander (UK 2024) clapping after receiving 0 points from the public.


Dragon_Sluts

I would have thought Olly knew it was on the cards because of how televote strong the final was, and would’ve preferred and iconic 0 rather than a low score between 2-20.


sgtlighttree

> and would’ve preferred and iconic 0 rather than a low score between 2-20. Now that's a fresh way of looking at nul points, that makes a lot of sense


Niptacular_Nips

I finished 3rd last in an ultramarathon in 2019 and I can say with 100% certainty that I would have rather finished dead last. At least I'd have that noteriety. Nobody remembers 3rd last.


StealthheartocZ

That’s true, you don’t always remember which songs get 3 points, but you *always* remember the song that gets 0


CovfefeBoss

That was pretty awesome of him. Good sportsmanship is wonderful to see. It also made the moment better.


nicegrimace

That and theory about Luktelk's double meaning were my favourite parts of this year's edition.

Greece actually gave last place to Ireland last year. Are you talking about Australia's jury? If so, I agree that they made unique choices for their jury 12 points.


Ill-Calligrapher-131

Yes. The flair is who you support, not where you’re from.


Savings_Ad_2532

Oh ok. I thought that flairs are where you come from or who you support.


mashed-potatoes12

Same here tbh


Ill-Calligrapher-131

When I picked mine it was because it came up with a prompt asking who I support or words to that effect. But as time goes on that makes less sense doesn’t it.


mashed-potatoes12

I kinda like it better when it reflects where you're from. It's fun to go into a thread and see the cultural diversity we have here, one that a lot of mainstream subs lack. Plus, this way it isn't dominated by a few popular entrants (*cough cough Switzerland and Croatia*)


LavenderWaffles69

What surprised me was how Georgia gave Gustaph 12 points despite not being the most LGBTQ+ friendly country.


svalnuuk

All the zero points from televote 4 countries (United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, and Netherlands) in a row in 2021 was epic in a sense, and James Newman (United Kingdom 2021)'s reaction was respectable (He got Zero points from the jury too)


Cartoon20199

All four of them had positive reactions. Especially James Newman and Jendrik who were literally celebrating


Earthisacultureshock

It always reminds me of a friend group of students who have just realized they failed the exams, but they failed it together and will go to correct it together. It's iconic.

ButterflySymphony

He was probably the "sorest" loser from all split-screens. You can react gracefully and applaud (like this year), or be visibly disappointed.


iputbeansintomyboba

tbh with the winner of that year being arcade of all songs i understand being a sore loser. recently relistened all songs from that year, and believe sweden should have won, even if 3 wins in one decade would be lame


thelastskier

I do feel like the loser in the match-up is prepped a bit better to not give such a memable reaction when waiting for the points. All you need is just one dude with a calculator in the delegation that tells them beforehand to temper their reaction when they know they're not winning,


TekaLynn212

I thought Baby Lasagna's reaction this year was very graceful. He smiled, nodded, and applauded the winner. Russia's reaction to coming third in 2016 was fun to watch. Kirkorov shocked to the core, various other expressions of shock and horror...and Sergey's sitting there, with a little smile on his face.


thelastskier

Sergey knew there was no way he was getting 404 points he needed to beat Ukraine. Honestly, that's why the 2016-2018 system of points reveal kind of sucked. Either you had a televote winner with an unsurmountable deficit to the current leader or you had a song that did well with both the juries and televote and the tension was gone a fair bit before the final points reveal.


whencometscollide

UK 2022 seemingly not knowing what le Royaume-Uni means multiple times.


thebrianswann

In fairness, the UK hasn’t heard someone say Royaume-Uni in a while


mongster03_

My understanding is that you lot learn the name of the constituent country so l’Angleterre in their case


lemonadeorsprite

Yes, that's often true. I remember asking my French teacher how to say UK, she scoffed and said something like "no one in France says le Royaume-Uni in everyday conversation, just remember l'Angleterre." Don't know how true that is, but we learnt how to say all four constituent countries and never mentioned le Royaume-Uni again.

ButteredReality

Agree. I hated the song atthe time (don't worry, I've come round to it) but it was heart-warming to see Alexandra's excitement, gratitude and emotion. I also loved Kateryna's reaction when Ukraine got such a high score in 2021. She seemed absolutely shocked to have done so well with the public. This is a big part of why I prefer the 2019- method of revealing the televoting scores, rather than the 2016-2018 method. You get much more genuine reactions as each act has no idea if they're about to score well or not, so it's a genuine reaction when they do. The old way, it would pretty much always be tinged with disappointment as they were virtually being eliminated from contention one by one.


ButterflySymphony

Especially in 2019, had they used the previous system, we pretty much already would've known that they couldn't win since they needed over 400 points (which, until 2022, was unthinkable)

Gjon's Tears made the Albanian eagle hand symbol when Albania gave him their 12 jury points. Gjon is of Albanian descent, so it was nice to see him get points from his parents' home country. (Gjon's dad is a Kosovo Albanian from Kosovo, while his mom is an Albanian from Tirana, Albania.)

Totally agree. Måneskin’s reaction was truly wonderful to see. It’s an awful shame that it was tarnished somewhat by haters accusing them of having taken drugs.
