2nd J J G
3rd I G I

 

If you had trouble, think of it this way. Holly is out, so mark through all the H's in the preference schedule.
   

# of Voters

  

Place

 13 12 10
1st G I J
2nd H H G
3rd J J H
4th I G I

Now, each candidate below H in each of the columns moves up one position producing the preference schedule below.
   

# of Voters

  

Place

 13 12 10
1st G I J
2nd H J H J G
3rd I G H I
4th      

Since the H's are marked out, they can be taken out of the preference schedule and since there are no longer any entries in the 4th place row, it can be eliminated to produce the final preference schedule.

After each round, the new preference schedule will have one less row.
