Here's my theory on the three way tie: The Glarus tribe thought Sam might have the idol, and in an attempt to possibly flush it, they divided the votes between Sam and Will, since Sam might give the idol to him because they're both former Valais. Sam and Will voted Lucy, and depending on who played the idol, Sam or Will would be voted out 3-1. Since neither Sam or Will played the idol a three way tie occurred, and by a most likely 3-0-0 vote, Sam was voted out, and possibly the idol as well.
