      MM: Let's not delay any further and get straight to our final result, shall we? I mean, we're used to waiting six months for EV results but a woman like me just doesn't have time for that. I have bills to pay! Let's hear from the United Duchies, who are deciding the entire fate of Europe tonight!

      Lenny Henry: Hello Inquista! Hello Europe. I'm calling from the United Duchies with our results.

      MM: Glad to hear it, Lenny. What have the people of the United Duchies decided?

      Lenny Henry: The Duchian public have been eagerly voting. We have decided to give our 8 points to... Inquista. We give our 10 points to... Spain! We give our 12 points to... REITZMAG!

      MM: And there we have it, everyone! Thank you the United Duchies, and thank you Lenny!

      MM: It's official! Nancy Ajram has won EuroVoice 44: Showtime! Nancy's victory means back-to-back victories for Inquistan artists. This is the retribution we deserve for that nearly 3 year dry spell we had since 2020.

      The Nicoleizian Joint Entry Team came in a close second, while our friends from the Conch Kingdom finished in third - the highest ever placement for them. Congrats on the Mishar Republic's debut finish in fifth place, and Portugal in sixth! We hope to see our friends from Portugal participate again. I have to admit, I did vote for them.

      Well, so I guess this means we'll see you again in Saint Dominico sooner or later! Can't wait, my darlings. Hope you all had fun tonight and enjoyed this edition of EuroVoice. I had a lot of fun and I want to thank all the amazing artists and participating countries for putting on another strong edition of this contest that we all enjoy. Wishing you all lots of love until we see each other again.

      We now invite Nancy Ajram to perform her song live for us one more time! Good night Europe. Kisses!

      Elthize

      [Photo]

      Candidate Name: Wirt Harland
      Home Nation: The State of Elthize
      Office(s) sought: Internal Affairs Commissioner
      Incumbent? (Y/N): No
      Eurogroup Affiliation: None
      Biography: A politician of the Labour Party's moderate wing, Harland was an assembly member from April 2008 until June 2009, when he was a senator until his retirement in April 2022, winning in 2008, 2010, 2014 and 2018 elections. During his time as a Senator, he became the main figure pushing for the impeachment of the former president, Archibald Franklin. He was one of the biggest advocates for Elthize's ascension to the European Union. He was the presidential candidate of the opposition in 2018 and was defeated by the incumbent Greenwich Grimwald by a minuscule margin. Some Elthics still consider him to be a possible successor to the presidency after Grimwald.

      As an Internal Affairs Commissioner, Harland wants to amend the Constitution of the European Union to clarify the election process further, make the Commission elections more democratic and ensure further approval of the bills passed by the European Council. Harland also provides unconditional support for the free market and collaboration with European Union's member states on all his policies.

      Voting has now concluded. There were a total of 6 votes counted.

      Due to the re-election of Jean Claude Juncker as Premier Commissioner, Carlos Lesmes Serrano of Spain has been disqualified from the ECoJ election. Since there are only 4 candidates for election, and there are 5 seats on the European Court of Justice, all candidates are thusly elected to the European Court of Justice. Congratulations to the new Justices. Due to Serrano’s disqualification, he will automatically not be counted on the first round of deciding a new Chief Justice.

      To decide the Chief Justice:

      Dayo Faith MWANGI (Elthize): 4 votes (~67%)
      Benjamin STEYN (Inimicus): 2 votes (~33%)

      Dayo Faith Mwangi is thus duly elected as Chief Justice of the European Court of Justice. A special election shall be held to fill the vacant seat.

      Due to the unprecedented nature and legal ambiguity of write-in voting, write-in ballots shall be counted, and the following results shall be official and binding, but the legitimacy of these elections will be decided by the newly-elected European Court of Justice, and an eventual re-run of these elections remains plausible.
      With that said, voting has now concluded. A total of 7 votes were cast. The results are as follows:

      For the Office of Premier Commissioner:

      Jean CLAUDE JUNCKER (Spain): 4 votes (~66%)
      Sofie ČIKAROVÁ (Czech Slavia): 1 vote (~17%)
      Greenwich GRIMWALD (Elthize): 1 vote (~17%)

      For the Office of Internal Affairs Commissioner:

      Round I
      Kevin COTILLA (Leagio): 3 votes (50%)
      Sofie ČIKAROVÁ (Czech Slavia): 2 votes (~33%)
      Tarek AL-WAZIR (United Duchies): 1 vote (~17%)

      Round II
      Kevin COTILLA (Leagio): 3 votes (60%)
      Sofie ČIKAROVÁ (Czech Slavia): 2 votes (40%)

      Jean Claude Juncker is thus duly re-elected as Premier Commissioner of the European Union, and Kevin Cotilla is duly re-elected as Commissioner of Internal Affairs of the European Union. Congratulations to the re-elected Commissioners, and commiserations to all other candidates. The Commission shall take office alongside the new European Court of Justice, but again, the legitimacy of these elections will be decided by the Court.

      Tarek prepared and got up to front of the stage to speak: My friends I am sorry for this democratic farce in what is my crowning if one votes for me with no other choice. I recognise my election would not be democratically legetimate and stolen from the nations and people. That is why my first acts will be to consult the nations and ask what they want in a democratic manner to overcome the lack of democracy if I become so called "elected" . If I do become elected please protest , mobilise on the streets, protest your stolen choice and stolen election. Tell the powers that be this is not acceptable have your pro-democracy voices heard. We can force law changes and as a result of this I will prioritise changing the law so that two candidates have to be in an election before it can go ahead an the position will remain unfilled until that is the case so true democracy can win out. I will also look at lengthening terms to reduce the cost and increase the effectiveness of commissioner terms. I promise if elected to never think it was a true democratic choice and recognise the undemocratic farce crowning it was , if you choose to vote none of the above in protest or just refuse to vote I also endorse that move also .Thank you for listening and may we restore democracy to this currently democratically deficient institution.

      Episode 2 Day 4 - Little Tribe

      The Little Tribe decompresses the day after their tribal council. Irene is calm and is feeling much better now that she's no longer on the chopping block. Nobody knows who cast the other vote against Irene, including Mikaela, who forgot she even did that.

      Day 4 - Small Tribe

      The Small Tribe continue to relax and feel confident about themselves. Ran has immunity for the next tribal council, so she spends the day napping and conserves her energy for the next day's immunity challenge.

      Day 5 - Immunity Challenge

      It is the day of the immunity challenge. The two tribes come together to compete.

      alt text

      For the first round, it's the women. Albina, Irene and Mikaela for the Little Tribe, versus Anastasia, Gisela and Lula of the Small Tribe. Anastasia is the first to reach the ball in the centre of the beach, but Irene squarely punches her in the face and grabs the ball from her. Everyone looks on in shock as Irene then struts to her tribe's hoop, shoots, and scores a point.

      One point Little Tribe.

      Next up are the men. The remaining men of the Little Tribe compete against Edward, Jean Claude and Vistek. Despite his injured ankle, Jesus gets the ball first, and everyone chases him back to the Little Tribe's net. Simon slaps the ball out of Jesus' hands, despite being teammates, but luckily Kristian quickly collects the ball, shoots it, and scores.

      Two points for the Little Tribe.

      The women are up again. Albina, Eilidh and Mikaela compete for the Little Tribe (while Irene sits on a time out for her bad behaviour) against Gisela, Lula and Ran from the Small Tribe. Ran ran to the ball first, where Albina and Eilidh both try to grab her and wrestle the ball from her grip. Ran uses her karate skills and manages to flip both of the other women over just using her arms while holding the ball. Ran ran to her tribe's net and scores a point for the Small Tribe.

      Two points for the Little Tribe, and one point for the Small Tribe.

      The men of the Little Tribe face off against Artabanos, Edward and Jean-Claude. They all make it to the centre of the beach around the same time and engage in a large scrum to get the ball. In the chaos of the scrum, Simon kicks Jesus' sore ankle. Edward manages to get the ball, runs back to the his net, shoots, and misses. Kristian catches the ball in the rebound and makes a break for it to the other side. At the other side, Kristian shoots and scores.

      With three points, the Little Tribe wins.

      alt text

      The Little Tribe also wins a fishing spear, some basic diving gear, and various other pieces of fishing equipment. As the Little Tribe begin to celebrate, a twist is revealed. The Little Tribe must send someone from the losing tribe to Exile Island, which is an even smaller and more mysterious island just off the coast of Tiny Island. There, the exiled individual must live alone for the night.

      After some deliberation, the Little Tribe choose to exile Jean-Claude, and they give him a thunderous applause as he steps off his tribe mat.

      However, that's not where the twist ends. Jean-Claude is then asked to pick someone from the winning tribe to join him. Jean-Claude picks Albina.

      alt text

      Day 5 - Exile Island

      Jean-Claude admits to Albina that he mostly picked her to join him at Exile because he needed to ask her some questions about his Premiership predecessor, Sofie Cikarova of Czech Slavia. Jean-Claude explains that he had a special pack of Junckpens he used to use as Internal Affairs Commissioner, that he then gifted to Premier Walter Cocx at the end of his term, and then Sofie apparently threw those Junckpens out when she came into office as Premier. Albina explains that this is likely something Sofie would do, and admonishes Sofie for once throwing out one of her diet vegetable smoothies that she made for her.

      At Exile Island, Jean-Claude is presented with two urns. One containing a clue to the hidden immunity idol back at camp, but also an opportunity to mutiny and switch to the other tribe, while the second urn contains nothing.

      alt text

      Jean-Claude picks one of the urns, and inside is an idol clue and his choice to possibly mutiny tribes. Jean-Claude decides he won't mutiny, but decides to share the immunity idol clue with Albina, since Albina was willing to criticise Sofie Cikarova.

      alt text

      The two have a long night at Exile Island. Jean-Claude spends the whole evening regaling about his commission campaigns, and asks Albina what gadgets he should invent for when he visits Czech Slavia next. Jean-Claude also talks about how much he loves to use the European Commission App, but that he's currently inundated with DMs from angry Reitzmen. As Jean-Claude talks all night, Albina barely manages to get any sleep. The next morning, the two return to their tribes.

      Day 6 - Little Tribe

      When Albina returns from Exile Island, Mikaela is shocked by how tired she looks, and insists that they should have a spa day on their tribe's beach. Mikaela gives Albina a sand scrub and the two makes plans to do some traveling once the competition is done. Albina shares the information that she collected from Jean-Claude to Mikaela.

      alt text

      Eilidh and Simon decide to bury the hatchet over the Copala City land lease. Eilidh remarks how cool it is that Icholasen is the first country to have a transgender head of government, while Reitzmag is the first country to have transracial citizens. They both feel proud of the progressive societies they come from.

      alt text

      Mikaela gathers Albina, Eilidh and Jesus together and without their input, decides that they should all form an alliance together. Everyone agrees, but it's not like Mikaela gave them any choice.

      alt text

      While the others keep themselves busy by chatting or having a spa day, Kristian goes fishing for the tribe using their new equipment and gathers food for them. Kristian exhausts themselves by then also cooking the food for everyone.

      alt text

      Day 6 - Small Tribe Tribe

      Readying to go to tribal council tonight, a sense of anxiety and uneasiness consumes the tribe.

      Artabanos calls Vistek out for ignoring the Dolls group chat that they have with Albina and Mikaela. Vistek defends himself by saying he can't keep up with Albina's daily 'inspirational' quotes that she sends every morning. Artabanos hits back by saying that Vistek doesn't respond to Artabanos' bowtie-of-the-day selfies he sends either. Vistek finally admits that he has the group chat on mute and he never wanted to be in it to begin with. Artabanos is shocked and disappointed.

      Naturally, Edward goes ahead and starts hustling and whipping votes for the upcoming tribal council. Edward decides to target Lula, and tells people that Lula is the weakest link of the tribe, and that he doesn't care much for her authoritarian rule in Nofoaga, and says that he wished she cared for human rights as much as she did for turtle rights. Ran doesn't like this coming from Edward, and calls him out for being a fake defender of human rights, citing that he never championed for the rights of anime people during any of his years in Europolis. Edward claims that anime people rights are human rights just like everyone else, but Rans criticises him for not enshrining that in any law.

      Day 6 - Tribal Council

      At tribal council, it's discussed that it's pretty much an open secret that Edward is coming for Lula, and that Lula is now coming for Edward. Ran surprises everyone by presenting her special immunity idol that she found on day 1, keeping herself safe from the vote.

      It is then time to vote. Once everyone has voted, then the votes are counted.

      First vote... Edward
      Second vote... Lula
      Third vote... Edward
      Fourth vote... Edward

      So far: That's 3 votes Edward and 1 vote Lula. 4 votes left.

      Fifth vote... Lula
      Sixth vote... Lula

      That's 3 votes Edward and 3 votes Lula. 2 votes left.

      Seventh vote... Edward
      Eight vote... Lula

      It is a tie. Everyone, excluding Edward and Lula, will re-vote. Once everyone has cast their second vote, then the votes will once again counted.

      First vote... Edward
      Second vote... Lula
      Third vote... Lula

      So far: That's 2 votes Lula and 1 vote Edward. 3 votes left.

      Fourth vote... Edward
      fifth vote... Lula

      Sixth vote... the 2nd person voted out of Survivor 2: Tiny Island... Lula. That's 4 votes, and that's enough.

      Lula's torch is snuffed and she turns to wave at her tribe, but also scornfully tells Edward that he'll be banned from ever holding a Nofoagese turtle ever again and promised that the Oceans Protection Act will be his next piece of legislation repealed by the European Council.
