There's a possible angle to this issue that didn't come up in the article.
Collusion.
I know that the contestants are kept separated from the host, but how about
from each other?
A recent episode of a podcast I listen to had a guest who'd been on Wheel of
Fortune. She mentioned that a lot of the prep before taping was on ways to
cheat. The contestant wranglers specifically mentioned making sure people
didn't agree to play a certain way and split the winnings later.
Since, according to the article, the J! tiebreaker was prompted in part by 2
ties on shows taped the same day, I wouldn't be surprised if someone thought of
the possibility. I really wouldn't be surprised if it was a lawyer who thought
about it.
