Answer

a) There is a tie for all three shows. b) Homeland is chosen. c) Chandler would not want this suggestion. He would prefer a first round vote between Glee and Homeland. d) Chandler would do this to tip the first round vote in Glee's favor, and the second round vote would be between Glee and NCIS. (Then he could honestly vote for NCIS, and NCIS would be the winner of the vote, assuming everyone votes honestly.)

Work Step by Step

a) NCIS gets 6 points (3 from Chandler, 1 from Phoebe, and 2 from Monica). Glee gets 6 points (2 from Chandler, 3 from Phoebe, and 1 from Monica). Homeland gets 6 points (1 from Chandler, 2 from Phoebe, and 3 from Monica). b) NCIS would get 5 points (2 each from Chandler and Monica and 1 point from Phoebe). Glee would get 4 points (1 each from Chandler and Monica and 2 point from Phoebe). Between NCIS and Homeland, NCIS would get 4 points (2 points from Chandler and 1 point each from Phoebe and Monica). Homeland would then get 5 points (1 point from Chandler and 2 points each from Phoebe and Monica). c) If Glee and Homeland faced off in the first round vote, then Glee would get 5 points (2 each from Chandler and Phoebe and 1 point from Monica) to Homeland's 4 points (1 each from Chandler and Monica and 2 points from Phoebe). Between Glee and NCIS, NCIS would get 5 points (2 each from Chandler and Monica and 1 point from Phoebe) to Glee's 4 points (1 each from Chandler and Monica and 2 points from Phoebe). d) NCIS would get 4 points (1 each from Phoebe and Monica and 2 points from Chandler). Glee would get 5 points (2 each from Chandler and Monica and 1 point from Phoebe).
