I'm always boggled by the way tie-breakers are decided in tribal councils.
In Survivor:Australian Outback, a tie-break is decided when if one of those voted have been previously nominated in other tribal councils, then those accumulated previous votes would sent him packing already.
In Survivor: Marquesas, a tie-break is decided by rock-picking from a bag, that if you pick a particular colored rock, then you get the boot.
In Survivor:Palau, the fire-making challenge was only used to decide who between Stefenie and Bobby Jon would stay in their tribe since they can't exactly vote out each other being the last two remaining tribe members. And they didn't get to actually write on any parchment and vote.
But in this edition of Survivor, the tie-break is decided by that same fire-making challenge? And Cirie even had advance knowledge of what will they expect in case of a tie. I maybe wrong, but I'm beginning to think that these tie-breakers are as ever-changing as the way rules are regarding tribe-switching in every edition of Survivor.
