There are 4 judges, so the vote could be split with 2 for each couple. In such a case Tess would ask Len to choose who goes, so if needed he effectively has two votes.

If all 4 judges's choices are split between the 2 couples - so say this week Craig & Bruno had chosen to save Nicky, and Darcey & Len had chosen to save Richard - then that would produce a tie, and the breaker would be that the couple Len had chosen would be the one that stays.

In the event of a tie it should go to the people's vote.

Len said he preferred Sid to Colin in week 3 and the other three chose Colin.

Len doesn't have two votes. Say Craig and Darcey save couple A and Bruno saves couple B. If Len goes for couple B, then couple B are safe.

If after voting (last) there is a tie, then Len has the casting vote which is the same as him having two votes..

Just like away goals, his vote counts double in the event of a tie.

If there is no tie (i.e.3-0) before Len, then an extra vote by Len will not help so he doesn't even vote.

So if it is 2-1 then the other votes are irrelevant and Len makes the decision.

How can you fail to see how there could be a tie between four judges?

Between three judges, or five judges, fair enough, but four?

I thought he efectively does have two votes with his casting vote.

Maybe Darcey's vote doesn't count?
