TIEBREAKER15,33120,631
Winner: Cody Vest
The rules statement does not explicitly apply the tiebreaker to ties for other than first place. However, it isn't within the archivist's prerogative to disregard a direct statement on that matter from the host. Because this tiebreaker format wasn't in force in the only previous instance of a tie for second, the outcome of Episode 17 - George Stankow & Jonathan Graham sharing second place - remains unchanged.
