Here is the explanation of what happened to Rockstar last night for those of us in Canada.

The drama of the series finale was slow to build. A review of past episodes took up a third of the hour-show.

And there was confusion in the Ontario airing of the episode. The show cut to commercial with co-host Brooke Burke promised more highlights when it returned.

Instead it came back to show Rossi already into a version of the Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony.” Robichaux then sang “Zombie” by the Cranberries and Rand did “Somebody Told Me” by the Killers.

Magni was nowhere to be found. Apparently the Icelander had already been eliminated — with Ontario viewers wondering what had happened.

Reached by phone, a Global spokesman explained the network’s master control in Calgary had switched feeds during the commercial break, moving from the international feed to the domestic feed. The two are different and Magni went missing in the process.

The network said the problem was fixed in other regions and repeated the full show an hour later in Ontario.

Australia’s Rand was the next to go. His exit was shown in all regions.

“It’s down to the edgy ones,” said co-host Dave Navarro as Rossi and Robichaux held hands and awaited the final verdict.

“Lukas, your look, your energy, your vocals, the way you move, everything has been really really amazing for us,” said Lee before announcing the result.
