> [@jsc1953](#): > > Off the top of my head, I think since they went to a Final 3, one of the 3 has always received zero votes. I’ll try to confirm. True for(working backwards): 44, 43, 42, 41, 40, 39, 38, 37, 36, 34, 33, 32, 31, 27, 26, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 17, 14, and 13. Not true for: 35 - 5-2-1 30 - 6-1-1 29 - 5-2-1 25 - 6-1-1 15 - 4-2-1 There were multiple, well a few, seasons that went back to the two-person final in there. But you are right that 0 votes is quite common for the three person setup.

Thanks, for the confirmation, Mahaloth! Another bit of possibly interesting analysis: in the recent years that they’ve had the final 3 consisting of: (1) winner of the last immunity challenge (2) the one selected by the winner and (3) winner of the fire-making challenge… how do the 3 fare in the vote? Are there any patterns? Does (1) win most often? How often does (2) win – which indicates a terrible choice by (1)? ---

To be clear, Yam Yam was none of those things, so you’re looking to exclude this most recent season? ---

This season was a bit of an anomaly, since (1) and (3) were the same person. That doesn’t usually happen…IIRC. If we had to include this season I’d call him a (2) since he was chosen to go to the final by Heidi. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/survivor-44/980592.md?page=8)
