Mass hysteria on finals night, first the 76 Trombones WTF happened, with absolute panic for the Dan fans thinking that ALW completely screwed it up for Dan. This then led to everyone multi-voting like nutters.
Some quotes from the Dan Hope thread that night:

I enjoyed it and thought it was hilarious but I think it could be a bit too throw away and not taken as seriously as the other 2.
3rd is very realistic now. Sorry for being negative but its true.
EDIT: I picked the winning dog, so wish It could be Dorothy as well.
Danielle is amazing no matter what happens”

What A Ridiculous Song Choice And Going Third Was Unfair

YAAAYYYYY! Danielle is through. Dire song choice, since although MT geeks know The Music Man, it really isn't as appealing as Tomorrow or I Could Have Danced All Night. PLUS she went third. I'm cross!
But I've voted loads. I lost count at about 40, plus I was texting to LaurenD so it all got a bit confusing!
Wasn't she brilliant, though? Particularly in If I Only Had A Brain - absolutely blew the others out of the water.
Okay - f*** the phone bill - off to vote some more. DAN4DOT!!!!”

what a strange song choice 76 trombones??? Such a relief I really was worried there. I have been voting fairly solidly since the lines opened, only failed to get through 3-4 times. Guess I must be at 30 votes or so at the moment...”
In the end it all worked out and Dan is Dot
