LOL @ there must be a F3 to "prevent a tie". You should apply for TAR, they seem to like math-geniuses...

I'm not sure whom this is directed to, but yeah of course there could be a 3-3-3 tie.

Math geniuses please weigh in: what are the probablities of 10 people voting for 2 resulting in a 5-5 tie vs. 9 people voting for 3 resulting in a 3-3-3?

My sense is that the 5-5 is within the realm of credibility whereas the 3-3-3 is lottery ticket turf.

Strict probabilities please as an F3 scenario in real life ensures that one of them is a goat, although I'm sure Becky would loudly & stridently disagree. Oh wait.

I bet that if there were a 4-4-1 mini-tie, Probst would intone that the 1 could not win and exclude him/Becky from the revote, making some outlier another Greg Buis kingmaker.

It would be fun to see a firestarting challenge live in the Ed Sullivan theater however.

BTW, I'm pretty sure that when Dreamz & Cass got their asses handed to them and tied for 2nd behind Earl with zero votes each, EPMB gave them both 2nd place and the 2nd place money.

Neither, however, got a helicopter shot.

The person who had the least amount of votes throughout the season could be the tie-breaker! If those votes are tied no idea.

Unless the Rules of Survivor (tm) state otherwise, they've disregarded that as a tie breaker.

Dreamz had more regular votes than Cass (I might have that backwards) and each won "runner-up."



One day I'd love to read the Rules of Survivor (tm).


Seriously though -- there has to be a rocket scientist out there who can run the probabliites of a 5-5 vs. 3-3-3 tie.

Stop masturbating in the bathtub and delurk, Dave.
