a) It's not the brand new direction for garage people thought it might be, it turns out that it's just garage, which has not traditionally done well in these polls (see The Lex's regular wailing and gnashing of teeth)
b) Continued making records, none of them as good (it shouldn't be a factor, but it often is)
c) Taint of TashBed!

What brand new direction for garage did people think it was? Garage has done decently enough here considering no Americans vote for it - a few weird disappointments but So Solid Crew, Sweet Female Attitude, Mis-Teeq etc all went through, Oxide & Neutrino nearly did. I mean it's only b/c they did well that I'm extra disappointed about eg B15 Project.

b) is definitely a factor - indeed it may be because DanBed's career wasn't garage ENOUGH, so 'Gotta Get Thru This' was a false promise. Still ticked it but in a tougher heat would have easily let it go.
