While I suspect Owen would have preferred to be making headlines by means other than brawling on air with talent show judges it has had a plus side.

His album Sunshine Road has gone to the top of the Australian Blues charts on iTunes.

We await with bated breathe his re-emergence on the show and can’t help noticing the stoush has been pretty good for the ratings of the show too.

The judges actually voted Owen off. They were over-ruled by a savvy senior producer not because of the story value , though it was a big bonus. But because the judges had made a error in booting him for not being to their liking. It would have damaged the show considerably. Notice the segment on Sunrise that gives mcfadden a chance to smooth his image over. Clever producer I thought.

Since he’s getting a second go on the show do you think maybe the whole thing was a publicity stunt by the producers?

That wouldn’t surprise me.

Saw the promo for the show – he is on again on Monday looking a little contrite. Hopefully he lets his singing talents show this time round.

Since he’s getting a second go on the show do you think maybe the whole thing was a publicity stunt by the producers? Or is that being too cynical?
