Let's start by finding out which two acts are leaving the competition at this point of the competition...

Adam Woods - Supernatural
Samir & Viktor - Hela världen väntar
Melina Borglowe - Min melodi
Elisa Lindström - Forever Yours
Lisa Ajax - Awful Liar
Smash Into Pieces - Heroes Are Calling

In sista plats we have...

Samir & Viktor - Hela världen väntar

6th - 74 points
​

Having reached the Final of Melodifestivalen three times before, the fourth outing of Samir & Viktor was less successful in the results and vocal department, as they crashed out in the first heat a considerable margin behind the 4th placer. Here Moopy was much less supportive as they claim last here!

The next act to be sent off and leaving the competition is...

Melina Borglowe - Min melodi

5th - 100 points
​

In a heat of Melodifestivalen veterans, the odds from the start for Melina and her simple Swedish ballads weren't good to begin with. She did defend her song as best as she could, kudos to her, but it was never going to set the scoreboards alight of the Swedish public.

Moopy was a bit more generous, getting a 5th place finish instead of a 6th in this semi-final. Interestingly, while she didn't get any 12s, Melina actually got 5 sets of 10 points which made up half her score here!

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Now that we have scrubbed the two doomed acts out of the equation, it's time to find which two of our four remaining acts are going to the Final, and who is off to the Run-Off Vote!

[Jacques]

Oops, I'll try and remember to vote in the next heat in time! Was just coming to put some last minute votes together, thought the deadline was midnight

Poor Samir & Viktor, without a doubt their weakest entry but I don't think they deserved the indignity of not even making it to AC. I'd swap them out for the lazy Smash Into Pieces re-write.

 

[ButterTart]

Broadly satisfactory results. Elisa going DTF is the most correct thing to have happened all year.

 

[Hak]

Forever Yours going DTF is a joke. While the songwriting is competent, it's completely run-of-the-mill, and the creative vision adds next to nothing. These songwriters are capable of producing much better schlager and you sorry lot must be starving for it to vote this cliché through. I haven't gotten the urge to listen to it once since the first heat.

Okay but

 

[Pingu]

I don’t know if you noticed Hak, but it wasn’t competing against Something In Your Eyes, it was competing against the shower of shite in the first heat.

 

[Penelope]

One of the worst heats ever.
