Melodifestivalen 2025: Deltävling Three (Västerås)

I wonder if poor Ella has realized that two days ago she could've been set for the final, and now she’s been toasted by a possible rule change after SVT saw her raw voting numbers.

I have no idea how you all understand this voting procedure and who it is likely to favour. It’s incomprehensible.

All I want to know, does it make Hush Hush more or less likely to qualify and why?
 
Another example is how they hastily reversed the scoring methodology for choosing the acts advancing from the heats.

Up until a few weeks before this year's contest, the first and third acts were set to advance based on age group scoring, while the second would advance based on raw votes.

I guess SVT’s late realization was that under those rules, Adam Woods, Miss Filth, Gunnila, and Scarlet would have all been eliminated in the heats, and Albin Tingwall would’ve received the last Finalen ticket.
Again though, this was always a bit strange and I had assumed this was just the interpretation of the vague rules by the guy who puts together the Mellopedia page, who yes gets info directly from production but does it as a passion project for the fans.

Of course I speak no Swedish whatsoever and you've clearly dug a lot more into all the press coverage than I have, but these things always struck me as clumsily worded explanations that would ultimately be smoothed over more than them making it up as they go along.
