Kiribati

**Kiribati** is a one-time participant, first participating in TESCO5. They sent the song "Broken Girls" by Gabbie Hanna, which scored them 71 points, coming in 17th place.

Their participation was during the first edition where artists had to be linked to their countries. The Kiribati HoD was the same HoD that had headed Australia in the four prior editions, every edition sending the artist Gabbie Hanna. Ordinaraly, Gabbie wouldn't be allowed to represent Kiribati, however because this was the first edition of the new rule, rules were not very clear, and they managed to find a loophole allowing them to send Gabbie Hanna to the contest. Due to the mistake in the rules being fixed next edition, Kiribati never returned to the contest.

Gabbie Hanna's unusual poor result this edition may have been caused by growing controversies surrounding the singer-songwriter, by other social media influencers such as Jessi Smiles & Trisha Paytas.

NEXT: TESCO3

TESCO2 was hosted in Sydney, Australia after their win in Lugano, Switzerland in TESCO1.

The winner of **TESCO2**, New Zealand sent the song "London Boy" by Taylor Swift.

They have only qualified to the final once, in TESCO5, where they sent "Only Teardrops" by Emmelie de Forest, coming 12th in the grand final. In that same edition, they came 2nd place in the semi finals.

The tiebreaker system is decided by whoever had the most 7 points won, then 5 points, then 3, then 2, then 1 points. If they were exactly the same, then whichever country got points from more countries won, and then if that was the same, whichever was earlier in r.o would win the tiebreaker.

## History

The Rangers won the second Kellogg Cup in 1917, and the first two Iron Range League titles in 1916 and 1917.

PREVIOUS: TESCO4

 NEXT: TESCO6

TESCO5, hosted in Vancouver, Canada, following the win of Canada in TESCO4, marked the 5th season in the contest.

For the 5th edition, the owners decided to aim high and go for 37 players, which they hit, over double of the previous season's player count of just 18.

Although based on the participation map it looks as if they lost many nations, they actually gained a staggering amount. They recieved their two first South American countries and their first two African countries, meaning they now had participants from each continent except Antarctica. As well as this, they had the most amount of returning countries of all TESCO history, and the most debuts.

The likely reason for this edition gaining such a large participant count is due to the majorly increased advertisement of the contest around different communities.

This season also lost 2 national finals (Festival South Korea and UK: You Decide) but kept Canada: Destination Eurovision and gained 2 more: Destination Eurovision France and Serbia: Our Choice.

TESCO5 also introduced the feature that when a player loses a National Final, they get to pick between 2 random countries and keep playing with a new song.

This season also saw the introduction of Country Specific Songs, where your song must be from your selected country. Islands, Microstates and several other specific nations could still borrow from others.

The winner of the contest, Sweden, then went on to host TESCO6.

## Semi Finals

The country's were allocated into semi finals randomly. The aq, Canada, did not participate in the semi finals.

## Grand Finals

The grand final was attended by all qualifying countries of the semi finals, as well as the AQ, Canada.

Due to unforceen circumstances, televotes were given out differently in the grand final than to the semi final. In the grand final, the televote points were treated like a jury, and were given out with the same 12, 10, 8-1 point system as the other juries. This means that the majority of countries did not recieve any televote points.

## Rio Pacheco, Boy Reporter

***Jem and The Holograms #10***, subtitled *Rio Pacheco, Boy Reporter*, is the tenth issue of the *Jem and The Holograms* main comic series, and is a one-off comic set in-between the *Viral!* and *Dark Jem* storylines.

It was originally published physically and digitally by IDW Publishing on December 30th, 2015, and was later included in the *Jem and The Holograms Vol 2: Viral!* trade paperback published on April 2016, followed by being digitally available on May 3rd, 2016.

## Official Synopsis

"Go behind the scenes and see The Holograms and The Misfts from a whole new perspective... that of music columnist Rio Pacheco! What mysteries will he uncover? What truths will he reveal? Or will it mostly just be Pizzazz flipping tables and Roxy crying over ruined bagels?"
—IDW Publishing

## Plot Summary

Rio and Stormer are at the hospital after Pizzazz's car accident. Rio was the one who found Pizzazz's crashed car. Stormer asks Rio to go and tell Roxy and Jetta about the accident, because they're not answering their phones. Rio tells her he knows where they live, because he's been there before.

In a flashback, Rio visits Roxy's house to ask for an interview. She agrees, because it's the quickest way to get him to leave her alone - and invites him in. While interviewing her, Jetta comes home, and Rio finds out that Roxy and Jetta are roommates - but they beg him not to tell Pizzazz.

He goes to The Holograms' house. The Holograms find out from Rio and Elise Harcourt that The Holograms are going to be the openers for The Misfits' West Coast tour. Elise also tells Jerrica that Pizzazz has a fractured larynx. Rio asks them if he can do an interview with The Holograms, so that he can make them the bulk of the interview, so that he doesn't have to focus his piece on Pizzazz's accident in what should be a private moment. They agree to do it.

Rio goes back to the hospital, and goes to Pizzazz's room. Stormer, Roxy and Jetta are all at her bedside, and they've smuggled in Pizzazz's cat Madmartigan. Pizzazz is smiling.

♎ October 9th, 1991
Age 25

### Instruments

* Keyboard
* Backup vocals

* The Stingers
* 5x5 Records

### Debut

* Various (singing)

***Minx***, real name **Ingrid Kruger**, is one of antagonists of IDW Publishing's *Jem and The Holograms*. She plays the keyboard and is one of the backup vocalists for her band The Stingers.

## Cartoon Continuity

Minx first appeared in the 1988 episode *The Stingers Hit Town, Part One*. She was gifted with technology, able to build and modify synthesizers to suit her needs. She began her music career in a band called Nirvana (no relation to the real-world grunge band of the same name) with Riot, but both left the band to start their own. They were later joined by Rapture, and as a trio formed The Stingers. The Stingers were homeless and busked on the street to make ends meet for at least one year before finding their fame.

Though she had the same self-centered attitude shared by the rest of The Stingers, Minx was shown to have a softer, caring side. She seemed to have a very close relationship with Rapture, and the two frequently supported one another. Minx had romantic interest in Rio Pacheco, and though she was constantly rejected by him, was persistent in her pursuit. She also seemed to have an interest in Techrat, even going as far as touching him without him seeming bothered by that.

## Lyrics

How'm I gonna beat this beat this beat this
How'm I gonna beat this beat this beat this
Hello, goodbye as fast as we can
Shoulda just left it there
To up and walk away is the only thing harder than
Acting like we don't care
Driving me home and when we walk to the door
That's where the night should end
Don't wanna forget we've been here before
Going down the road again
Gotta stop reeling and fight the feeling
Gotta be strong
How'm I gonna beat this beat this beat this
Without it bringing me down
I don't want to be this be this need this
Every time you come around
How'm I gonna beat this beat this beat this
I know yo have a life, and I have mine
But this wasn't part of the deal
I knew it'd be this way, am I out of my mind?
Is this how I wanna feel?
Gotta stop reeling and break through the ceiling
Before too long
How'm I gonna beat this beat this beat this
Without it bringing me down
I don't want to be this be this need this
Every time you come around
How'm I gonna beat this beat this beat this
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
I don't want to be this be this need this
I'll be hanging on
Gotta stop reeling and fight the feeling
Break through the ceiling
Gotta stop reeling and fight the feeling
Before too long
How'm I gonna beat this beat this beat this
Without it bringing me down
I don't want to be this be this need this
No more hanging on
How'm I gonna beat this beat this beat this
Without it bringing me down
I don't want to be this be this need this
Every time you come around
How'm I gonna beat this beat this beat this
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
I don't want to be this be this need this
No more hanging on
How'm I gonna beat this beat this beat this
