yes, countries like the Netherlands and Israel have a whole bunch of European neighbours that reliably give them 12pts... so bored of seeing this complaint.

Last night the only noticeable "neighbour trade-offs" that made no sense since everyone else rated them averagely were:
- Greece/Cyprus
- Slovenia/Czech Republic
- and San Marino/Italy

Also, Australia have been in the top 10 every time since competing (I think). Where're the neighbours?
