I had to step out for 10 mins. Could someone fill us in on what we missed?

Sweden arrived dressed like they'd just finished a shift in IKEA, and there's a neverending fashion show going on.

 

[straightorbroken]

I hope they show the fashion segment in isolation in its entirety online soon.

[Marina Salty]

Imagine if this ends when the parade is over and that's all it was.

[Suedehead]

That’s what Mr Suede thought

He’s gone to bed now

 

[Tetris-Rock]

Irritating me that the recent intros of France and US has made it clear that close-up camerawork for the boats was 100% possible for other countries but they just couldn’t be arsed.
