Christ almighty, what is difficult to understand?

Cheryl refused to vote, so the producer in Dermot's ear would have explained that Cheryl has thus essentially lost her role as a Judge [temporarily] and as such there's now only three Judges, making it a majority vote. He then stated 'it's now a majority vote' - which is what I've just explained, and then Cheryl then stated 'but if you come back to me I'll take it to deadlock', by which time it was too late. And even if it wasn't too late, if you refuse to vote when you are asked, it's obviously a rule that you lose your vote.

I cannot fathom what is difficult to understand about this...
