Eurovision, boardgames and other nonsense
Positives: Juries back in semis, reduced number of votes for public, larger juries
Negatives: Way juries vote remains the same (the current system of ranking every entry hurts niche entries/genres), 10 votes for public is still too many

My issue with #Strictly this year is that there is maybe one or two more celebs who have strong dance experience than usual.
And that’s coupled with them also being a bit void of personality/story

Not sure I believe the rumoured solutions to the Genocider’s participation - either could be depicted as a punishment or acknowledgement they shouldn’t be there, which the genociders wouldn’t go for, and neither option is an actual solution
However, a proposal that doesn’t fix anything is very EBU

Last time they tested the alarm thing I didn’t get it until 4:30 the next morning
Still yet to get this one, but at least I’ve got an early start tomorrow so I’ll be up for it 🤷♀️

Oh boy, the #DexterResurrection didn’t disappoint
The scene with Dexter and Prater? Incredible from both actors.
Best season of a show I’ve watched in a good while, and up there with the best Dex seasons. More please!

I’m not bothered either way by the new logo, but if they wanted to emphasise the 70th anniversary they could’ve perhaps gone for a retro look?
