Hey, that Dave Cameron woman is pretty hot.

Juries are set to return to the contest next year, the EBU have announced. The exact form of voting is to be finalised, but the results of each country will be decided by a mixture of Jury and Televotes.

What is the status with Sir Terry? Has he actually quit or what? DS are saying he's quit but there's never been an official news release.

On all the news wires I've seen today it's only said that Wogan was threatening to leave after what happened in Belgrade, so it's possible he isn't actually going after all.

I hope Terry Wogan stays as commentator for the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest as bringing back the jury will surely make the voting more balanced and fair which is what Terry wants. Surely quitting now will be a bad move...

Please keep Wogan!!!!

To be honest, if any show reaches the point where a commentator is the big audience attraction then, for example, the British singer(s), I would be perfectly content to see that this particular non-spicific show be axed… no matter how amusing Lord Wogan may be!

How do you solve a problem like Eurovision?

Interesting... Although the cynic in me immediately said 'great, now they're milking the last drops of two dying cows...'

Let’s hope the quality control is firmly on. This is so that when we do rank bottom again, we can blame post-Cold War political tensions.
