I think they would just simply make the third place finisher join the jury and cast the final vote. Makes the most sense.I don't think so. They'd have to do it out on location, because it would simply be ridiculously unfair to have someone cast a vote at the live reunion (what with a season of edited footage influencing them). If they did do it out there, Jeff would have to announce the tie out there (probably by revealing the votes), and the third-placer would vote. The live vote reveal would then only be one vote, which would be horribly anticlimactic.
I think the best thing to do is to have each of the F3 members vote and keep them in three separate envelopes. Then if there was a tie Jeff could just bring out the three envelopes and explain to the audience and viewers at home that if there was a tie (such as a 3-3-1) then they would read the secret vote of the person with the 1 vote as a tiebreaker. This way, the tiebreaker wouldn't happen live by either a pre-jury member or the person with 1 vote who has had the luxury of seeing all the votes.
