If Parvati and Amanda were tied 4-4, then what?

[f***@aol.com]

So for 4 seasons now, they've had the possibility of a tie in the
final vote (for this season it would have been if Parvati and Amanda
had 4 votes each), but they've avoided that scenario so far. Does
anybody know what the official tie-breaking procedure would have
been? Would they have to make fire live? Would the jury have to
revote after another plea from Amanda and Parvati? Would they simply
split the million? Just wonder if anyone has inside info, Jeff
Probst hasn't said anything about it yet (or if he had I missed it).

Whatever they do, they probably want to leave it as a surprise, so we
probably won't know until the situation arises.

I would guess they would just split the money. I really don't think
the jury could revote after they have watched the entire season on TV.

I don't know how they'd handle a tie but I can't believe a game of "Outwit,
Outlast, Outplay" would end with two people splitting the money.

I'm sure the rules for a tie are in place and that we'll only learn about
those rules if/when there's a tie or when the show ends and Jeff writes his

On the French Survivor it happend, I believe, twice(maybe only once,
now that I think about it) and they just split the money. I'm guessing
they would have an America's Tribal Council and have the viewers vote
for one of the final two.

I wondered that myself.

Of course, it was a moot point from the beginning: there was no way
they'd put on the reunion show if the votes were 4-4.

And Parvati should have known that. After a certain point, it was no
surprise that Parvati won.

I was really hoping for a tie. I wanted to know what they'd do. Would
Jeff come back from "counting the ballots" and say "well we have a tie,
the boys behind the scene say we have to deal with it here"?

Or better, he reads the ballots at the reunion, and then says "well now
we're in a pickle. There's a tie, but fire regulations forbid us from

Burnett knows the vote at the end of the final TC, so it isn't liek they
actually find out the winner at the reunion show. If there had been a tie
vote, burnett would have done something to break it while they were still at
that final TC.
Most likely scenario: Make the two of them build fire (and give them a 1
hour timelimit after which the $1,000,000 will be split among the jurors).

Other possible scenarios:
1. Some sort of challenge between the jurors where the last place juror is
denied a vote.
2. Throw out the first juror (Eliza in this case).
3. Give the last juror (Cirie) a 'tiebreaker vote'.
4. Announce on Thursday's episode that there will be a vote for 'favorite'
among the 4 remaining players, then hand the money to whichever person in
the finale gets the most votes from the public.

1 and 4 make the most sesne since 2 and 3 would give Burnett the image of
choosing the winner himself.

My guess is they'd go with option five- let America vote for who wins-
which would allow them to score one extra episode (as in All-Stars).

The problem is that messes up the timing for the show's airing. If the show
ran a week longer, the surprise of the F2 (rather than F3) would not have
been carried into that final night. Also, there would be a phone in poll
that would be 'spoiled' by other internet polling that would reveal which
player was likely getting the public's vote. Thus, no suspense at all for
the final night.

We have experience from past seasons with ties at TCs that take place at
the locale. Ties have been broken by lots (purple rock); by prior
votes; by fire-starting challenges. So nothing MB could invent for
tie-breaking during the time in Micronesia would be that shocking.

But to have a tie-breaker back in the States after the final TC is
supposedly over would be truly unprecedented.

the urn was sealed between the final tribal council and the reunion

contingency plan to break a tie and I'd bet apples to oranges it was
an "America votes" similar to what they did in Survivor UK 2.

I think that's a really really crummy idea given MB controls how the

I don't like the "America Votes" idea either... but we see more of the
finalists than the jury does. Granted, it's editted and possibly/probably
biased, but we see a lot the jury doesn't.

Now... if the only difference was that they CAST their votes at the reunion
show... :) I'd once like to see the reunion show begin before the last
installment airs. Not much would happen, only to explain to the viewers that
the jury is viewing this the same time we are... then cut to the episode.
Episode ends and we viewers are puzzled at the lack of a vote. Cut back live.
That's when we learn of this twist.

I think America's vote is the most likely tiebreaker method but I don't
think it's the fairest. It's tantamount to a producers' choice, since
they're the ones that control our perceptions of these people. They might as
well have Jeff cast his vote at the final TC and use that to break a tie.

I think the fairest method would be some sort of challenge that incorporates
the concepts of "Outwit, Outlast, Outplay."

Revealing the winner on location isn't an issue. They did that in the
first season. Besides they don't have to reveal the winner, they'd just
have to reveal that it was a tie and do what ever they've got planned
for the tie breaker.

Jeff (actually MB) would have had to come up with a tie-breaker that
could be done live.

MB _has_ come up with a tie-breaker that can be handled on location at
the time, or that can be done live.

About a 4-4 tie...Dubya asked me:

"Doob, I cannot believe you are getting caught up in this
speculation..."

Why? No joke...It COULD have happened right?

Jeff said...something like...'It's 4-3...a vote for Amanda would make it
a tie.'

I thought that he was gonna say what would happen in that case.

But...he already knew...but I wonder what would happen on the island if
they realized that they had a tie.

No joke...I just wonder.

So for 4 seasons now, they've had the possibility of a tie in the
final vote (for this season it would have been if Parvati and Amanda
had 4 votes each), but they've avoided that scenario so far. Does
anybody know what the official tie-breaking procedure would have
been? Would they have to make fire live? Would the jury have to
revote after another plea from Amanda and Parvati? Would they simply
split the million? Just wonder if anyone has inside info, Jeff
Probst hasn't said anything about it yet (or if he had I missed it).

Parv and Amanda would have competed in a mud-wrestling contest. [On PPV]

Make that chocolate pudding... and guess who would volunteer to clean them
off, and how. :D

Ok, I would too - but that's not what I was referring to.

Does anybody know what the official tie-breaking procedure
would have been?

According to Amanda when she gave an interview to RealityTVWorld:
Reality TV World: Did Survivor host Jeff Probst
ever explain what would have happened if there'd
been a 4-4 jury vote tie? If so, what was the answer?

Amanda: No, he didn't ever tell us. There was a
white envelope. I don't know what was in it, but that
was supposed to be the tie-breaker if there was one.
But I have no idea. I know as much about it as you do.

Best answer about the tie so far Nova.

Thanks.

What could be in that envelope?

The choice of the EARLY evictees?

Oooh, that would be interesting.

They saw the entire game at home.

How many WERE there....10?

That could be a tie also...but it probably wasn't if Jeff had an
envelope.
