Many fumed on Twitter after fans claimed last week that the ballroom dancer had been given an advantage in the ITV series by being the first celeb to take to the ice each week.
Tonight, the celebs delivered routines inspired by Olympic champions and show judges Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.
Brendan, 45, and his partner Vanessa Bauer kicked off the quarter finals with a stunning performance to Let's Face The Music And Dance from the film Follow The Fleet.
They ended their routine with a successful headbanger, and it earned them another perfect score of 40.
Asked how he found the routine, Brendan said: "Scary, full-on scary. There was so much content in there and we wanted to do justice to Jayne and Chris."

And Jayne Torvill told him, "everything flowed beautifully together" before fellow judge Ashley Banjo described the routine as "near-perfect".
But viewers took to social media to air their annoyance, claiming once more that his appearance in the series was a "fix".
He got another amazing score off the judges last Sunday during prop week.
One said: "dont care how good he is and despite what they say dancers have an advantage..."
Another person said: "Don’t care what anyone says Brendan has the biggest advantage in this competition. Yes Kimberly and Regan have dance background too but they aren’t used to partner work and lifts. All Brendan needs to is learn how to skate and he’s good to go."
One more said: "Thought Stef and Andy deserved 10s across the board! I prefer them to Brendan tonight!"
A theory circulated on Twitter last week claiming Brendan had been given a secret boost by producers by being allowed to skate first.
