initially i was so disappointed and ashamed that it's an Aussie guy

But then they revealed he's ukrainian, and now I'm mad

using someone else's flag to do that..... uuugh...

it definitely affected the televoters
at the same time, I'm so surprised that the jury liked Australia so much? i didn't think the entry would be top 5 material

maybe in the first half?

or more like, somewhere in the middle, at best?

I don't think the song is Eurovision material but we really usually don't do so bad

I think it has definitely affected our score but by the incident it was about 2/3- 3/4 into voting time so I think we're also just not as popular (but Isaiah is such a cutie though just look at him)

it's disrespectful, what the guy did, but what's even more maddening is that he stole our flag to do it. if someone watching doesn't read the news to follow up then they'd assume it's an Australian that did that

And that's the worst thing about it; it's not us but we'll bear the consequences

mmmm

There's already some who dislike Australia participating cos we're not even part of Europe but scored really well last two years

so having this incident as well really damages our image =(
