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 SFC wrote:

I'm still thinking that it could be whoever got the least amount of votes cast against them throughout the whole season.

In any case, the tie-breaker, if involving voting, should NOT be carried out after the contestants have returned home since real-life interaction post-show would definitely alter and cause unfairness to this situation.

In a final 3 winner tie scenario, a good way would be to have everyone in the final 3, even the non-tied finalist, to unanimously agree on one jury member's vote to discount. All 3 of them have to kick someone off the jury, but it has to be a unaminous decision. They vote, and Jeff reads the votes. If it's unanimous, then Jeff gets the votes for the winners, takes out the kicked off juror's vote and throws in into the fire. Then Jeff walks away and magically appears months...

Gotta love people complaining that a JUROR (who's job is to decide the winner in the first place) could potentially get the tie-breaking vote over one of the Finalists (who were supposed to be FACING the jury.

It's interesting... say there had been a tie in Micronesia and Ami was given the tie vote. Ami was obviously closer with Amanda than Parv. Amanda would have won.

I think a good way to do it would be after then jury casts their votes, dismiss them, then dismiss the final three, then call the person who placed third right back in, reveal to them that they did not win but that their was a tie and now they have to...

Yeah I don't get why they had such large juries in CI and Fiji.

If they had kept a seven-person jury, there could have been a racial plurality on the jury that would control the vote (if they voted in a bloc) and potentially give the win to someone of their own race.
The large juries on the race-based seasons was (purportedly) designed to fairly represent the races and prevent a...

Alot of people keep saying this for some reason, but I'd like to hear what their plan was during CI and Fiji with a 3-3-3 tie.

I think the likelihood of three people making F3 and all three of them earning enough respect to get three votes is extremely unlikely, and the show probably realizes that too. Still, that's probably why they eliminated 9-person Juries (aside from the fact that it was stupid for pre-merge...

They ask in private to each of the F3 players who they would vote for of their two opponents after the jury voting. Then they tell us about this if there IS a tie. However, if it is F2 and 4-4, they are in deep shit. Dumb 8 jury of micronesia. N/m. Jeff would check the votes in advance there too. And if there is a tie, he gets the F9 player's private vote for them to break the tie, then tells us about it in the finale.

I have no idea what they were planning in Micronesia, but whatever it was, I'm pretty sure it would have occurred out there and not live in NYC...

I should hope so! It would be terrifically unfair to decide the issue after the episodes had aired. If they were going to do that, then they might as well just go all the way and let the executive story editor choose the winner.

I know they had an envelope for Micronesia and I don't think they would make them vote again because it wouldn't seem right for a FTC.
