Now I'm in the odd situation where I don't know which one I like more: my 'own' Dutch song, or the rival Italian song

Good thing, I never even got the point of watercress. It barely adds any taste whatsoever, so ever since being a child I felt it was kind of pointless

Surely 12 points for Israel because you're an awesome teammate who would then have given their three teammates a whopping 31 total points?!

Hvala @hckošice

Much appreciated amigo And about the burritos: isn't it, in the end, the point to eat something one likes? I mean, if you were to take something super Dutch and put some super Mexican ingredient in it that'd be considered 'weird', who am I to say you're doing it wrong if you're enjoying it? This picadillo sounds pretty good by the way!

The Dutch do? I have no idea, I never eat burritos, so who knows

Ah, post dinner snack break, excellent, I'll have some Spanish icecream

Too busy with learning MMA and in doing so nearly breaking my arms and/or choking me by showing what she learned..

Thank you @vkristijan!

Back from dinner and there's 10 pages to catch up, I love TISC

I'm from Europe and I'm here for the fun...

All-out Germany vs USA war, nothing new

The Toledo Eagles thank you, Serbia!

Thank you @OlympicIRL

I know, right.

Which sucks, and the Dutch federation is mostly to blame for that. They could perfectly well have said that nobody can represent officially or get financial support or something, but that obviously they are free to go if they wish so on their own/with their own staff.

By the way, 8 juries in and already only four countries left with no points. I feel we'll be safe again with the "nobody left entirely behind" issue

Oh damn Thank you !

Thank you @catgamer

While saying they, and I quote, "are saddened to see she has made herself part of a political game". No, you did that, idiot federation. She literally just went there to go boxing. "I don't fight for the Netherlands, I fight for myself", she said, and that's the way it is. I'm all fine with the Dutch federation opting to not represent themselves there, but making life so difficult for individuals who do want to go and compete...that's low. #TeamDeCler

Denmark on fire

Thank you

NETHERLANDS DENMARK 12 PORTUGAL 11 ITALY 10 FINLAND 9 NORWAY 8 INDIA 7 BRAZIL 6 GERMANY 5 USA 4 CZECH REPUBLIC 3 IRELAND 2 SWEDEN 1 ¡Adiós! That's it for the Dutch votes, of course we hope that twelve countries have now gotten a nice start on the way to a good result, but in any case we do of course wish everyone a wonderful day and especially a nice and tight contest! Tot zover de stemmen van de Nederlandse jury, wij hopen natuurlijk dat er nu twaalf landen lekker op weg zijn geholpen naar een mooie uitslag, maar wensen in elk geval iedereen een hele mooie dag en vooral een spannende wedstrijd!
