Now we're going to take a look at what has been trending online this week and I'm joined by Olivia Fahey who's an entertainment journalist. Hello Olivia. Good morning. Lovely to see you. You too. As we look forward to the sunshine. Now you've been keeping an eye, tracking what's been trending online for us this week and you have been looking at this Eurovision drama over jury voting. What has been going on?
Yes. So now you'd actually probably think that, especially with all the talk pre-Eurovision, that this might actually have something to do with Israel. But actually, no, it doesn't. This is to do with Romania and Moldova. And it's because the Moldovan jury didn't give Romania enough points. We're all familiar with the block voting and, you know, voting for your neighbour and things like that. Like Sweden will always give the points to another Scandinavian country and the same with others. And it's been a tradition and like a running joke over the years whereas now it's actually gotten to the point that the one of the broadcasters in Moldova he's actually had to resign from his job because he feels so responsible for the jury not giving their lovely neighbours Romania enough points in the jury voting that he's like yeah he's left his job he's like it was my responsibility and as much I've separated myself from it you know I still feel like I need to step away Gosh they take it so seriously
don't they?
Honestly and the thing is like the show itself is really trying to show that everything is fair and is done like evenly and for me personally like look did I agree that the jury should have given Poland 12 points? It was a fine song, like listening in hindsight, but I didn't think it was a 12 point song because I didn't watch it a lot and I listened afterwards.
I have no clue because the Eurovision totally bypassed me this year. I'm just gone from it. I'm no interest in it really at all.
I'm such a big fan and it actually was like a massive like taping hole in my watch schedule because I, again, I wasn't interested in watching it, but I did kind of tune in like a little bit afterwards, listen to some of the songs after the fact and And like as much as I did think that Romania's song was good, again, like you have to think of it as like each jury are going to be thinking differently and allowing them that freedom to kind of give their own opinion, not based on, you know, the neighbouring biases is really important.
Let's move on to a telly story now, which is taking up a bit of time for people online. So this concerns Prime Video, which is adapting a young adult novel series. Which one is it and why are people so excited about it?
