The first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 is just a few hours away, and so it’s time for us in the escgo! team to predict the ten qualifiers for the grand final on Saturday.

Ahead of tonight’s first semi-final, Martin takes a look at the betting options you might want to consider if you want to make a profit from your favourite TV show.

Shi will have plenty to say about the big shows this week too – but before that, she completes her review of the rehearsals with the automatic finalists!

You don’t have to be in the press centre to need a stiff drink when it comes to reviewing a whole day of the second semi-finalists. Shi knows.

A bit of semi 1, a bit of semi 2, a bit of the grand final – all of this and more occupies Shi in her latest San Francisco review.

Portugal is an Atlantic-facing country. On the other side of the Atlantic and beyond is San Francisco. Shi is there, and she will give you all the analysis you need and more. Day 5, you have been warned!

Over in San Francisco, Shi has now seen all of the semi-finalists rehearse once. But is she any the wiser? And what does Harry Potter have to do with all of this?

Day three in the Lisbon madhouse, and our foreign correspondent Shi is trying to take it all in from the other side of the Atlantic.

Tomorrow Felix travels to Lisbon, where he’ll be blogging for us throughout the rest of the ESC weeks! But before that, how did he see day 3 from home base?

Shi’s “View from San Francisco” series continues! Pull up a chair and join our foreign correspondent as she examines the second day of rehearsals in Lisbon.

Felix is busy packing his bags for Lisbon – but he’s putting that on hold for a few moments to turn his attention to day 2 of rehearsals at the Altice Arena.
