Belgium 14th 😐

Maybe I’m biased as a Swede, but my biggest shock (even bigger than Belgium) is that we only came fourth. My best guess, since we did weirdly end up doing better in the Grand Final than in the semi televote despite the result still being a bit of a disappointment, is that people thought Sweden was guaranteed in the semi and thus didn’t want to ”waste” their vote on us.

It's either that or the general public likes Estonia (who are behind Sweden here) and Sweden's song a lot more. Seeing Latvia being 2nd in their Semi makes me believe a lot of people voted for it, thinking they'd not make it, so they avoid their favourite to vote for them.
