Thank god we finally have confirmation of this rule. The constant nitpicking over "but where's your proof of the PROD, hmm?!" got so tiring, especially after it was mentioned on the show by savvy players time and time again. This is as direct as we're going to get, because we're unlikely to find a group of players larger than 4 that are all willing to put their asses on the line for a random draw. It's directly stated by a player as the rule of the game, and narrated in a rehearsed enough manner that it's pretty clear it was carefully explained to him and he was coached in his articulation. And we even have Probst talking about it.

What we've pretty much known to be the case all these years is official, and everyone can stop bitching. For ties in groups larger than 4, the PROD stands. I don't like it (because it so discourages and scares players away from ties) and I wish the producers still used past votes, but it's better than having every tie vote determined by fire-making or any other arbitrary survival skill.
