Swedish contestants Dec 4, 2019

Sorry to say that the Swedish translations are not really up to scratch this time around. Voting a winner among the seven (7) contestants would unfortunately be a vote for the least bad, rather than a vote for the best, thus doing the whole contest a disservice by lowering the standards.

Looking forward to the next contest.

Cheers,
Anna

Sums up rather nicely what is wrong with this site and indeed this profession
