You know to be honest the production team may be making these changes to help Ion,, he is being pressured to use it by Dan and others, and not to use it by Frank and others....with his A.D.D he looks like he is really distraught,,,and has said he needs the Dr in the DR to talk to and help him...this game might be getting to be too much for him to handle....they may be making decisions for his own health.
