A '''Split Vote''' is a strategy employed in ''Survivor'' by alliances at [[Tribal Council]], in an attempt to avoid one of their own being voted out by the use of a [[Hidden Immunity Idol]]. The strategy involves the alliance(s) casting an equal or near-equal number of votes on two different members of an opposing alliance or individual targets, theoretically ensuring that one of them is voted out regardless of whom the idol is played on. In order for the split vote to work, the alliance must control two-thirds of the votes at Tribal Council.

A '''Split Vote''' is a strategy employed in ''Survivor'' by alliances at [[Tribal Council]], in an attempt to avoid one of their own being voted out by the use of a [[Hidden Immunity Idol]]. The strategy involves the alliance(s) casting an equal or near-equal number of votes on two different members of an opposing alliance or individual targets, theoretically ensuring that one of them is voted out regardless of whom the idol is played on. In order for the split vote to work, the alliance must control two-thirds of the votes at Tribal Council, or correctly play a Hidden Immunity Idol such that they will gain said majority.
   
 
The split vote was originally devised by [[Cao Boi Bui]] in the {{S|13}} episode {{Ep|1306}}, but the [[Aitutaki]] tribe opted to vote Cao Boi out rather than attempt a risky move that could have eliminated a strong physical competitor. The strategy was not used until the following season, {{S|14}}, where the [[Ravu]] tribe split a vote between [[Anthony Robinson]] and [[Sylvia Kwan]], to eliminate Sylvia.

Another voting strategy related to the split vote is the throwaway vote. Even before the threat of [[Hidden Immunity Idol]]s were put in the game, some castaways cast a throwaway vote (usually against their allies if they are in the minority) in order to divert votes against themselves to someone that could likely also get votes. It could also be used as a strategy on seasons with the Past Votes tiebreaker, in order to add votes to a particular castaway when the main target already had enough votes against them, that could be used for future Tribal Councils.

Revision as of 15:19, 15 February 2020

A Split Vote is a strategy employed in Survivor by alliances at Tribal Council, in an attempt to avoid one of their own being voted out by the use of a Hidden Immunity Idol. The strategy involves the alliance(s) casting an equal or near-equal number of votes on two different members of an opposing alliance or individual targets, theoretically ensuring that one of them is voted out regardless of whom the idol is played on. In order for the split vote to work, the alliance must control two-thirds of the votes at Tribal Council, or correctly play a Hidden Immunity Idol such that they will gain said majority.

The split vote was originally devised by Cao Boi Bui in the Survivor: Cook Islands episode "Plan Voodoo", but the Aitutaki tribe opted to vote Cao Boi out rather than attempt a risky move that could have eliminated a strong physical competitor. The strategy was not used until the following season, Survivor: Fiji, where the Ravu tribe split a vote between Anthony Robinson and Sylvia Kwan, to eliminate Sylvia.

Split Vote Strategy

See Split Vote/Strategy

List of Split Vote Attempts

Successful Split Votes

This list compiles successful split votes.

For a split vote to qualify as successful, one of the two targets must be voted out (after a revote if necessary) regardless of which target plays the idol. If the targeted alliance has two idols, a split vote can be unsuccessful even with this guideline. It is not required that every member of the splitting alliance be aware of the identity of the primary target.

^1 In order to avoid a potential tie, Rita Verreos voted against Earl Cole instead of one of the two intended targets.
^2 The original intent was for the entire alliance to vote for Corinne, as she was the only vulnerable member of the minority Onion Alliance. However, Crystal Cox and Ken Hoang split their votes between Corinne and Matty to ensure that Matty would be voted out instead of another member of the majority if Corinne played an idol.
^3 The primary intent of this vote was to send Matt to Redemption Island, not to counter Kristina's idol. Andrea Boehlke and Phillip Sheppard, the two alliance members who voted for Kristina, were not told that Matt was the primary target.
^4 The original intent was for the entire alliance to split the vote between Vytas and Katie 4-3. However, Monica Culpepper and Laura Morett, members of the alliance who were both assigned to vote against Katie, voted against Vytas instead, making the split 6-1.
^5 The original intent was for the entire alliance to split the vote between Val and Baylor 3-3, with Josh Canfield meant to vote against Baylor. However, Josh switched his vote to Val, making the split 4-2 and ensuring Val could not save herself by voting against Baylor.
^6 The main target was Dale (who had a fake idol) due to him being the outsider of the alliance. However, they chose affiliate Keith as the secondary target, and he did have an idol.
^7 The original intent was for the alliance to split the vote between Keith and Wes 4-3. Alec Christy and Reed Kelly voted against Jon Misch instead (making it 4 votes against Jon), but Jon used his own idol, keeping the split vote successful. Jon received 4 votes that did not count, while Keith received 3 votes that did not count.
^8 The primary target was Keith, with the alliance planning to split the vote between him and Alec 3-2; however, Natalie Anderson switched her vote to Alec. Combined with Keith's own vote for Alec, this resulted in Alec's elimination.
^9 Tai reneged from the Gondol Alliance in order to execute the plan. Also, the primary intent of this vote was to eliminate Scot, not to counter the idols held by Scot and Tai. Julia Sokolowski and Michele Fitzgerald, the two alliance members who voted for Tai, were not told that Scot was the primary target. Tai himself was possibly unaware that he was the secondary target.
^10 The original intent was for the entire alliance to split the vote between Desi and Joe 4-3, with Lauren Rimmer meant to vote against Joe. However, Lauren used her advantage allowing her to abstain from the vote in order to use it at a future Tribal Council to vote twice. Combined with outsiders Cole Medders and Mike Zahalsky also voting for Joe, this resulted in the tie.
^11 The original intent was for the entire alliance to vote for Ben. However, Devon Pinto cast a throwaway vote for Mike to ensure that Mike would be voted out instead of another member of the majority if Ben played an idol. (see: Throwaway Votes)
^12 Kellyn Bechtold cast two votes against Laurel by using her Extra Vote advantage, with the knowledge that Domenick Abbate and Wendell Holland were voting against Michael.
^13 The David Alliance split their votes between John and Angelina 3-2. Davie Rickenbacker played his idol for Christian Hubicki, negating the 7 votes cast against Christian. Dan Rengering then played his idol for Angelina, negating the 2 votes cast against her. John was voted out with 3 votes.

Failed Split Votes

This list includes Tribal Councils where the split voting alliance(s) actually attempted the split, but failed due to some members of the alliance reneging, if all members of the opposing alliance are immune (therefore losing one of their own or someone not from the target alliance) and/or splits that didn't ensure that one of the targets would be eliminated if an idol was used on one of them. This does not include proposed splits the tribe as a whole did not intend to follow through with.

^14 The original intent of the split vote was for Tyson to vote against Russell to split the votes 3-3 between Russell and Parvati. However, Tyson voted for Parvati instead, ironically resulting in his own elimination.
^15 Eddie received four votes that did not count, while Malcolm received two votes that did not count.
^16 The original intent of the split vote was for Gervase and Tyson to vote against Laura M. and for Monica to vote against Ciera to split the votes between the two. However, Gervase, Tyson, and Monica sided with the Singles Alliance to vote against Aras instead.
^17 The original intent was to get Kass and Woo to renege from the Solana Alliance, then have Kass and Tasha vote against Trish and Spencer and Woo vote against Tony. Kass and Woo decided however to stay with the Solana Alliance, voting out Tasha instead.
^18 The primary target was Nina, with the tribe planning to split the vote between her and Vince 2-2 but vote Nina out in the revote; however, Will switched his vote to Vince, nullifying the purpose of the split vote (Vince using an idol would not vote out Nina, but would vote out Jenn Brown instead).
^19 Stephen used his Vote Steal advantage to steal Joe's vote and cast an extra vote against Joe.
^20 The original intent was for Debbie and Joe to side with Liz and Peter Baggenstos, splitting the votes 2-2 between Neal and Aubry and voting out Neal in the revote. However, Debbie and Joe sided with Neal and Aubry instead, and they did split the votes between Liz and Peter.
^21 The Goliath Alliance split their votes 3-2 between Christian and Angelina, and Dan used his idol in an attempt to ensure Christian's elimination. However, due to Carl using the Idol Nullifier on Dan, the plan failed.

Throwaway Votes

Another voting strategy related to the split vote is the throwaway vote. Even before the threat of Hidden Immunity Idols were put in the game, some castaways cast a throwaway vote (usually against their allies if they are in the minority) in order to divert votes against themselves to someone that could likely also get votes. It could also be used as a strategy on seasons with the Past Votes tiebreaker, in order to add votes to a particular castaway when the main target already had enough votes against them, that could be used for future Tribal Councils.

Some throwaway votes, however, are used to prevent the effect of Hidden Immunity Idols, and are usually done impromptu when they vote without a clear plan before doing it.

Trivia

  • According to Cao Boi Bui, the idea of "Plan Voodoo", or split votes, came to him in a dream.
  • Eddie Fox has the record for the most number of times being a target of split votes with four.
    • He also holds the record for the most votes received at split votes (excluding succeeding revotes), with 11 votes received as part of split votes.
  • Jason Siska and Andrea Boehlke are the first male and female castaway, respectively, to be blindsided by a split vote while holding a Hidden Immunity Idol.
  • Survivor: San Juan del Sur currently holds the record for the most number of successful split votes in a season with 6. It currently ties with Survivor: Caramoan and Survivor: Worlds Apart for the number of attempted split votes with 6, although only 5 splits were successful in those seasons.
  • Survivor: Cambodia currently holds the record for the highest number of failed split vote attempts in a season, with three.
  • Stealth R Us in Caramoan holds the record for the most split votes done in one season by an alliance, with five (four of which were successful). If one counts the original incarnation of the alliance in Survivor: Redemption Island, the number rises to eight (seven of which were successful).
    • The Fab Five alliance (which started as the Coyopa Pairs Alliance) from San Juan del Sur holds the record for the most number of successful split votes, with five.
  • Erik Reichenbach, Woo Hwang, Jeremy Collins, and Spencer Bledsoe are all tied for the most times reneging on a split vote plan during their Survivor career, with two.
    • Erik is the only person to renege on a split vote plan in two different seasons.
