Not necessarily.
If, for instance, we accept that maybe 250 televotes would not normally have gone to Ukraine (just a guess, nothing scientific), then they would have gone elsewhere. Spain got 40-odd more televotes than UK, and were in the end only seven points behind. So, if that (say) 250...
You can often tell by the reaction in the crowd as to what has been popular on social media already - and therefore likely to get the popular vote. They loved the wolf duo.
We might get some points from Ukraine this year - so may avoid coming last.
I had the misfortune of Mrs Bodian wishing to watch both semi-finals. Last night was awful, but the first one wasn't too bad.
I enjoyed this one!
edit - I see I was beaten to it by Barrow Boy
