What happens if the final survivor vote is a tie

Survivor: Millennials vs. Hannah Shapiro and Zeke Smith. Were there other versions of tie-breakers discussed along the way? But as we grew to a final three and a larger jury and with the possibility of evacuations or someone quitting, it became a bigger concern.

Domenick and Wendell were such a tight pair all season long, so much so that it was incredibly difficult as an observer to separate their games from one another. Heading into the final Tribal, was there any sense whatsoever that a tie could occur between these two players? In the past, we have seen dynamic duos storm the game and make it to the end together. JT and Stephen from Survivor: Tocantins are probably the top examples that come to mind — and yet, in that case, JT won in a landslide decision.

What do you think it was about the partnership between Domenick and Wendell that brought us to a situation where the jury ended up splitting the vote? One of the most unique aspects of this season was the partnership between Dom and Wendell. Unlike other Survivor pairs where there is often a leader and a second, these two played very public and somewhat flashy games, so the jury knew their story. You have to walk the tightrope of bravado while still being tolerable. Can you describe the atmosphere in that moment?

Did you feel the air go out of the room? I cannot stress how exhausting these shoots are for all of us, the players and the crew. So when I walked out with the votes, you could feel that everybody was at the end of their energy.

They had done their job and were ready for it to be over. It was electric and a pretty fun moment. In the end, Wendell is your winner. How would you describe his legacy as a Survivor champion, and as the official ambassador of Ghost Island? I think you know I have not personally been a fan of the final four fire-making contest, but I also firmly agree that you all need to try new things out to see if they work like that new final Tribal Council format we just got into. We do have back ups in case of bad weather, but this is a tiebreaker that we feel is appropriate.

Fire is the single most important thing at camp. Everybody has the same opportunity to try and make fire. So until we think of a better and equally fair tie-breaker, this is it. Where did this idea come from and do you think if you had given Dom an urn from a season in which someone made the right choice that things might have ended differently? The idea was born of necessity. Whenever possible, we want every theme idea to be able to play out in the final episode, so it was essential that we had one final visit to Ghost Island.

Coming up with the idea was fairly easy once you got into the groove of Survivor history. But Mr. Ross, your question of jinxing Dom is a bit perplexing. View all Celebrities Sites.
