Wow! Either you’re one of the calmest and easiest-going people out there, or you’ve really not been honest about how you feel and react!! According to your answers literally nothing phases you when it comes to Eurovision. You’re incredibly positive and take the highs and the lows of Europe’s favourite TV show – other fans could learn a lot from you!
Remember though, you’re allowed to feel things and if you’re not happy about something, you can say so. Sometimes stating an opinion feels like being dramatic when you’re usually so placid, but opinions are as much a part of Eurovision as the songs – have fun with it!Mostly B's
By and large, you’re a pretty chilled Eurovision fan! Your answers suggest that you love the contest and enjoy most aspects of the show – and that if something does annoy you, you don’t overreact too much. A quick huff and sulk, then you move on with your life – a very healthy response to have!
You have opinions on what goes on at the contest and permit yourself the occasional small outburst when something really gets to you, but you don’t let it rule your life. Just remember to keep those little episodes in check – doesn’t take much for a few minor grumbles to become full blown toxicity!

Woooah! Someone get the Geiger Counter, you’re pretty darn toxic! Firstly, well done for being so honest with your answers. Secondly, if Eurovision upsets you this much, you really should consider not watch… seriously. Your answers indicate you react very strongly to anything you dislike about the contest and that often blows up in an incredibly volatile way.
If this comes as a shock to you, take a deep breath and remember Eurovision is a TV show – it’s supposed to be fun! Try enjoying the contest for what it is, not what you think it has to be. Trust us, once you start doing this, you’ll stop giving off toxic vibes and have a lot more fun with Eurovision!
