Okay, so I wrote down the US votes of contests past (2013 and since 2016 annual) and I might do an Excel sheet of who got the most points from the jury over the years. BUT... I still don't have the votes from 2014 (annual and open) and 2015 (annual and open), so I guess archive.org will be my best friend for a while, but anyway, I can tell you the top 5 earners from the US jury since the 2016 annual are Bulgaria, Ireland, Greece, Mexico, and India.

Yeah, this is getting bad. We have 11mil+ cases in the US already. In fact, we added 1 million more in less than a week alone. Michigan is already announcing new restrictions that is being met with resistance (surprise, surprise) Texas and California already have a million cases each. I'm surprised Florida is not already there considering how inept the governor and the governments in general are here (Matt Gaetz already had it) Trump and Melania tested positive on October 2 as part of the outbreak at the White House stemming from the nomination ceremony of Amy Coney Barrett, which also affected those in Trump's orbit, including AG Bill Barr, former NJ governor Chris Christie, Trump's chief of staff Kellyanne Conway (her daughter had it too), Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, and yes, even their son Barron Trump. ACB had the virus in August As for my family's health, my immediate family are still covid free, but my cousin tested positive in June (he's fine now, but he had to wait in quarantine for two weeks from taking the test to getting the result, which is more than just pitiful in a country like the United States) Now that Trump lost the election, whether he wants to realize it or not, he's not gonna do anything about covid (other than taking credit for the two vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna with high effective rates). Biden already has a task force team ready to go on Day 1, but for now, expect our situation to get a lot worse

I see your point, and honestly I would like to know too, but extending the time period is a 'last resort' thing that might end up not being needed, hence why Dan asked in the first place.

You're an artist so you obviously know something I don't about how the pandemic is really affecting the music industry. But you think the 2021 annual would consist of half of the countries with songs released in 2019 and therefore affect your chances and those of other countries who have 2020 material, then I got a bridge to sell you, my friend. Like I said, I'm not worried about the US song selection as we have a lot to choose from, and quite frankly, I'm not worried about yours either since you have inside knowledge. If we end up not extending, then I'll be okay with it too.

lol that's not happening and you know it! My reasoning for A is for the few countries that might not have enough releases in 2020 to go with. As for my team, we will have a 2020 song competing next year, that is not a problem

Because I'm not an evil bitch... But really, if you think about it, we might have a few countries without viable 2020 releases that would compete next year. That doesn't change anyone's chances of winning tho

I pick... 1) A 2) B

Yeah, I'm gonna do one for the US voting patterns too.

Alright, time to send my congrats to @heywoodu for hosting the contest. It's nice to have a contest in the Netherlands (since we couldn't have Eurovision this year lmao thanks COVID). My congratulations to @NikolaB on your win and to @intoronto and especially @Glen for your podium finishes. As for our entry, I can't say I'm disappointed, but I thought we would've done better. We would' explore filing lawsuits to contest this, but then again, we couldn't get our presser location right and we ended up at Four Seasons Total Landscaping Hotel in Philadelphia, so our lawsuits aren't going anywhere. For now, we will thank @Agger @Wumo @Werloc @OlympicIRL @amen09 @tuniscof @intoronto @Vektor @Ruslan @Janakis for the 62 points

Final CNN projection: Malta wins Alaska Ireland somehow wins Nevada, even though their voting machine broke

A CNN host who is not Wolf Blitzer has projected that Serbia will win Arizona and Georgia, and Canada will win North Carolina The battle for Alaska has come down to Ireland and Malta

Okay, Malta, don't fuck it up like we did one time

Blitzer: CNN can now project that the Republic of Serbia will win the 2020 Totallympics Open International Song Contest, denying Canada of a TISC sweep. We are able to make that call because we project that Serbia will win Pennsylvania's* 20 electoral votes, pulling off a rare* defeat of a defending champion *Czech Republic *Not THAT rare

After John King becomes the magic wall, Wolf Blitzer is about to make a historic* projection *keyword is historic

If I knew how to photoshop, I would replace Joe Biden with Serbia because I think it appears that their lead is greater than the number of possible points left...

My dinner time is usually at 4:30pm-5pm, sometimes 5:30pm, rarely past 6pm

While he is waiting for John King to stop infusing himself with the magic wall, Wolf Blitzer makes the projection that Serbia will win Wisconsin and Michigan based on the analysis. Canada must win Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania to win the contest, while Serbia only needs to win one of the states (preferably Pennsylvania's 20 electorial votes). Nevada, meanwhile, is still counting and recounting the votes. Alaska is WTF

#StopTheSteal

He's still waiting for John King to finish his magic wall spiel

Wolf Blitzer is standing by with a CNN projection

I was today years old when I found out the Vengaboys are Dutch and not British

I can reveal that the Netherlands won Florida and Canada might win Pennsylvania/Georgia/Arizona/Nevada, though Arizona called it early for Serbia 12 -- 11 -- 10 -- 9 -- 8 -- 7 -- 6 -- 5 -- 4 -- 3 -- 2 -- 1 -- R1 -- R2 -- R3 -- R4 --

We're sure to get the name right
