She couldnt have made her vote, as she said she wanted to take it to deadlock. She could not have picked one second, that wouldnt guarantee that it went to deadlock :S

Yes, hypothetically(now that we know the results), she could have voted for katie, to make it deadlock, but she didnt know how the other judges were going to vote did she? I didnt see her crystal ball sitting on the table there...

Fair enough - but she had already lost her vote anyway by refusing to vote. Dermot [and Konnie later] explained that. As far as I remember, she said 'I'll take it to Deadlock' after he'd stated that it was then a 'majority vote'. Even if it wasn't after - there must be a rule in which states if a Judge refuses to vote, they lose their vote.

I don't think there's an alterior motive behind any of this anyway, I expect it was probably a mistake and they just rushed from right to left along the panel without thinking it through [they were running out of time anyway].
