We are troping Eurovision as a TV show, not the wider event, so anything happening offscreen doesn't belong on the main work page (or year-specific recap pages).
Additionally, Eurovision is a straightforward contest - it's not classed as a Reality Show, and it needs to obey all of the non-fiction guidelines on the Real Life Troping policy page.
Two important aspects of that are that contestants are not characters and the contest result is not scripted.
We cannot apply narrative tropes to an unscripted real life contest.
This has reached the point where there's an active effort to cleanup the pages. Worst case, pages may be locked (or even sent to the cut list) if we keep finding misuse and real-life troping added to them.
