The producers threw Brendan under the bus, I watched on the 12.5w satellite feed with the production talkback track on a separate audio channel and one of the gallery members actually said "Dalton's been swapped with Brendan, so that should seal his fate". On checking, the preliminary order had Dalton performing first and during the Strictly cross-over - the change was obviously planned.

According to various posts on twitter, some viewers in ROI were unable to vote for the first time. This obviously would have massively impacted votes for Brendan. I imagine when (or if) the voting results are published we'll see a significant decrease in votes for Brendan for this week.

Unfortunately, its little tactics like this which gives the producers the power they need to influence the result and give them the final they want.
