Olly managed to achieve one thing, the UK's first ever 18th place! Now we only need to come 14th, 20th, 21st and 23rd and we've completed the board!

Another great show last night, Petra's script in particular was just perfect, her postcard bit was great too.

I have to say it was a genuine relief to see it end up between Croatia and Switzerland with Ukraine and Israel out of the running, just for the sake of simplicity for the next contest. By that point I was very happy with either of them winning.

I had assumed the host city would either be Zurich or Geneva but there's actually a surprising number of large indoor arenas across Switzerland so there might be a few bidders. Wherever it goes it's sure to be a hell of an expensive trip for Eurovision fans next year!

It will be interesting to see how long the Dutch situation rattles on for and if they'll even enter next year.
