Yeah if I recall correctly there was only one other person with a good taste (meaning 12 points for Eliane obviously), the rest were just emotional ladies and/or bribed cheaters .

I believe it's good to have some clarity before the Grand Final so that everyone knows in advance. Definitely be good to clear this up. My preference has always been giving the winner first refusal, followed by second and third place. If all 3 decline then an open selection where individuals or groups of members are invited to nominate themselves as the next host. However, there should be some minimum eligibilty requirements, firstly the country should have competed in the contest that had just taken place, secondly the specific member bidding should have participated in at least 2 contests and thirdly member should be active across the entire forum, not simply popping up twice a year for TISC. If all these conditions are met then I'm happy with a random draw or some convoluted game of keys to decide the host, but definitely not a vote by members.

dcro 10,210 Posted November 7, 2018 #1270 Share Posted November 7, 2018 If it comes to random selection, then I'd say the priority should be given to new hosts. USA is only the 10th TISC host, so why go back? #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
