There were two problems with what happened last year, one Brendan's fault for deliberately ignoring the rules, and defeating the entire point of the competition, which implies that you discipline yourself to perform within the rules for a particular dance; the other Bruno's for rewarding him for doing so. The direct result of that was that one of the best dancers was eliminated early (the marks were awarded in such a way that Bruno's marks changed the rankings. Without that, different couples would have been in the dance-off.). As soon as the third lift happened, if not disqualified, he and Kelly should automatically have been placed in the bottom two, and in my view that is what should happen should there be a repeat.
