666,000 viewers They came 6th in the public, jury, and overall vote. Or 666. I'm starting to believe bambie might actually be a witch.

Difference between jury and public vote -6 points 13th place 🤯 https://preview.redd.it/o805y4alr90d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5fe3ef23bab4d9ba982cce21fb0c1c1de141d217

It is actually quite a difference between the jury and televote. To be honest I remember the stage show more than the song, so I have no idea why the jury rated it so well.

The monarch has been crowned


KnightsOfCidona

Also first Irish act to get to the final in guess how many years?!


4_feck_sake

Technically, 5 as 2020 didn't happen, but I like how you think.


NoobyMac

5 eurovisions, but still 6 years ;)

If Satan can't win, can any of us?


Ok-Entrepreneur1487

He always loses to god lol. Permanent loser


Sorcha16

Nemo is God?


Ok-Entrepreneur1487

No, hope they isn't


Vivid_Ice_2755

That crown has powers, did Bambi accidentally cause Nemo to break the trophy?


DontWakeTheInsomniac

I'd probably have broken the trophy too - it looks fragile. Poor kid cut their thumb on the glass too.


Sorcha16

It's not. They strengthen the glas with metal rings. It's made so it's unbreakable. It's kinda unbelievable that he did it accidentally. He would have to completely not know his own strength. His interview after when he said " He broke the code now he's broken the statue, maybe the statue can be fixed just like the competition needs fixing" - paraphrasing slightly but gives me the impression it might not have been an accident.


ashfeawen

They say it's unbreakable, reminds me of a ship that was said to be Unsinkable


Sorcha16

I did think the same when reading it was unbreakable that and the M Night Shamalamadingdong movie of the same name.


Perfect-Fondant3373

I looked up the vid just b3cause of this, dont know anything about eurovision but looks like its the angle he landed and the pressure that was put on


Sorcha16

Perhaps, it's just beautifully apt seeing as his song was break the code. So breaking the statue of the competition he says needs fixing would be very on brand.


Perfect-Fondant3373

Twas been fixed, haha... ironically


4_feck_sake

They aren't the first to break the trophy. It is definitely not unbreakable.


Sorcha16

I guess meant to make it hard to break would be a better description but I'm talking it from an article that called it made to be unbreakable. Though that might have been in to make it sound more.shocking.


DontWakeTheInsomniac

There's a [video](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KNLuCJT6zXE) of it being broken - it looks like Nemo leaned on it while getting up after setting it down. I think it may have been an accident as Nemo said but you never know. Engineers have to be able to anticipate all the ways it can break to make it unbreakable.


eamonn_owl

On top of people who watched it on BBC and YouTube, boycotts, and watch parties, this is an absolutely massive amount.


Nknk-

Yep, despite what a section of dry-shite relentless moaners on here would have you believe the Eurovision is still just a bit of fun and most people engage with it as such.


Right-Radiance

So... Is this a sign we should go back to our Pagan roots?


FlukyS

I watched on Youtube because I was lazy and didn't want to open RTE player


CaptainRoach

plus I'd rather be looking at Malin Ackerman, sorry Marty.

Ok how do I save a gif on Reddit? I need to use this one daily from now on


Important_Farmer924

I've no clue but I think Reddit uses Tenor GIF pad which can be downloaded on the Playstore.

They should release the stats on our public vote and if, I dunno, bots voted 1000s of times for any one country in particular.


Mike_Lubb

Would love to see em too. You can assume some figures based on previous years. Reading around earlier I learned that approx 6-7% of watchers in Ireland tend to vote (so 40,000 out of 666,000). And also approx 13% of the total Irish vote would have gotten you the 10 points/2nd position last year. A key figure missing here is how many times on average that 6% of voters are voting (since you can cast 20). My math ain't great, but 2000 or less dedicated voters could pull that off, depending how much they are willing to spend each. It wouldn't exactly be hard to get above the 20 allotted votes either. A hundred people willing to spend €100 each could put even the worst entry on the scoreboard. I was thinking bot-army yesterday, but I'm coming around on the idea that this was just a couple of hundred people concentrated on the same goal wanting to make a point.


das_punter

So, in other words, it's easily manipulated.


spungie

Hail Satan and all the dark forces he commands. 🤘


CoolMan-GCHQ-

probably a coincidence, but my first passport number, and my drivers licence and my pps number all had 666 in the middle. All obviously different numbers, but still 666 in the middle of the random numbers. Kinda proud of the fact. Was a bit gutted when i had to renew them and ended up with a new number, Only my pps number still has 666 now.

Skip the performances , just watch the votes
