Best jury result (shouldnt come as a surprise): 2009; Ranking Patricia Kaas 4th. While the mob gave her 17th place...

The worst ever jury desicion is just as easy, and had catastrophic consequences: Dethroning Italy and Il Volo - handing over the trophy to Heroes...

Bad Decisions

:lv: 2017 "Line"
Just 1 point? Really?

:sm: 2017 "Spirit of the night"
Not even 1 point, really? :D

:ee: 2016 "Play"
Pretty much the same reason

:fi: 2010
Jury is the reason it didn't make it to the final.

:pt: 2017
Giving too much credits for this song...

Good decisions

2010 - attempting to help :mk: qualify over :ru:, and saving :il: from NQing
2011 - ranking :sl: first in its semi and Top 5 in the final
2012 - pushing :it: and :es: into the Top 10
2013 - attempting to help :at:, :il:, and :sm: qualify
2014 - stopped :by: from placing 11th with the televote alone
2015 - would have prevented :de: and :at: from finishing with 0 points, if the new voting system were implemented
2016 - not letting :ru: win
2017 - helping :nl:, :uk:, and :am:

Bad decisions

2010 - ranking :ru: higher in the final than :is:, :fr:, and :md:
2011 - ranking :lt: first in its semi, attempting to make :mt:, :sm:, :sk: and :be: qualify
2012 - attempting to make :il: qualify over :is:
2013 - pushing :am: into the final
2014 - ranking :pt: and :il: dead last in their semis
2015 - ranking :ee: 9th in their semi, :al: 10th in their semi and second-last in the final, and making :az: qualify over :cz:
2016 - overrating :mt: so extravagantly in both the semi and final
2017 - giving only one point to :lv: in the semi, letting :au: qualify and finish in Top 10, letting :se: finish Top 5, pushing for :cz:, :cy:, :gr:, and :ge: to qualify over :pl:, :al:, :be:, and :fi:

Of course, the worst one is the juries robbing Il Volo of their deserved victory, still mad about that :(

Best: actually making Malta qualify in 2012. As I was probably the biggest possible fan of it imaginable in .net at the time, I was possibly imagining myself to move on from its loss immediately, but then Malta ended up announced and I was like "YASSSSS xlove". That was shocking but I loved it! I love when my big faves qualify in general! :D
Worst: overrating Ukraine 2012, not making Belarus 2016 and Montenegro 2013 qualify... and idk else

The political jury vote against Russia in 2016 was a disgrace, and agree with others about 2015 Italy - Il Volo for Sweden - Heroes

It is not political to give 0 Points to Sergey. Juries can only give Points to 10/25 Countries and 0 to 15 others.
Also Juries couldnt foresee that Il Volo would win the TV with that Huge Margin.
