Roast Turkey
Think we got eight out of 10 correct - called Belgium and Ireland incorrectly and didn't figure on Finland or Poland.
Here are the 10 countries which made it through tonight's semi-final for a spot in Saturday's Eurovision Song Contest, in order of how they were ripped out the various envelopes:
Greece
Romania
Bosnia & Herzegovina
Finland
Russia
Israel
Azerbaijan
Armenia
Poland
Norway
As someone who loves the Norwegian song, it was getting a bit fraught by the ninth envelope.
Chuffed to see Bosnia & Herzegovina progress, there was something very Tim Burton about the performance of Pokusaj.
So, Ireland - and Dustin the Turkey - didn't qualify. Although the song was never going to take the title, it would have been great publicity for Saturday's final if he'd made it through.
I'm sure it won't knock a feather out of him.

There's very little justice in Eurovision, but Poland getting through to the Final & the animated sock from Ireland getting well & truly stuffed was fantastic! The so-called 'Kings of Eurovision' are now the much-deserved laughing stock. Stick up 2 fingers to the ESC & you get exactly what you deserve. They will be no loss to the Final.
Personally, I thought the bloke on the Bosnian song reminded me of the scariest figure ever seen on celluloid - the child catcher in Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang. If he changes the lyrics to "Lollipops - all free today" - I'm behind the sofa!
