Um, what? Why would anyone use the HII before the votes are revealed if you can wait until after it's revealed you've been voted out? This would be the equivalent of bringing the rules back to EI/CI

Don't be an idiot. James and the immunity idols have provided a great amount of interest and amusement this season.

And the pair make great bookends.

It was properly used THIS season. Todd gave it to James, and then gathered everyone and blindsided him BECASUSE he had the immunity idol. It is only because of the editing that we don't come to appreciate how genius this move was.

I like the suggestion here that everyone gets an immunity idol at the beginning and can use it once during the game. It would be interesting to see how they use that "get out of jail free card."

Special new rule:
If all contestants play their idols at the same tribal council, Lil and Burton return and Steph and Bobby Jon get to go to the opposing tribe. Then they all have a picnic on exile island, where Wanda will sing to them.

I think they rehid the HII in Amanda's ass....that is why we never see it.

i don't know about that. i mean there's always going to be a bit of pagonging once the tribes merge but we've seen a few suprise votes over the last couple of seasons. i mean 3 out of the 4 people voted out of the merged tribe in china have been from fei long, the tribe who came into the merge with the numbers.

Actually it keeps people passive and prevents big game flips . For the most part from EI to this season(Assuming PG or Erik don't make it to the end) it looks like one big orgy of Pagongings .

I know it's alreayd been mentioned but why do people say that the HII hasn't been used properly if Yau-Man was saved and Sylvia was gone when he used it?

The H.I.I. is the "One Ring" of Survivor.

Keep it secret, Keep it safe, or have everyone trying to knock you out of the game.

The problem right now is everyone still remembers what Yul did with it, and thinks its still a viable strategy. It's not. You don't want anyone knowing that you have it. Earl/Yau is the way you have to play it if you absolutely need to tell someone else.

Yul played his overpowered version perfectly, and forced the...

So did Yul. Bravo to him for beating Jiffy Poop and EPMBonehead at their own game. Being the idiots and sore losers they are, the producers decided to up and change the way and times the HII could be played. The next true student of the game will come to see it as a liability instead of an asset and make sure a nitwit grabs it.

Burnett can boast and crow all he wants; he and his...

blindsight

It's blindside, as in hitting someone from the side they are not watching., the side on which they are blind.

I thought Yul played the idol very well. Where's that pic of him wiping mud off his dick? Hot!

The idol is a necessary evil to help prevent Pagonging. It also brings a strategy to a vote too. I think it's here to stay in one shape or another.

The HII wasn't wasted in EI. If Terry didn't have it Cirie would've won the GAME.

Survivor needs something new.
The HII definitely brought some new elements for the game (Yul used it wisely to turn the whole game up, Yau Man and Gary saved their lives once, Jaime made herself a fool, James made himself a target)
The only season that the HI was completely wasted was Exile Island

Now the idol was nothing more than a liability, because people want to flush it out as soon as they can
The idol is no longer a free pass to the end like Cook Island, but...

Yeah I wish an idol would be played properly, but it doesn't end up that way because everyone ends up knowing who has it so they either blindsight them or the person goes really far with it. I still think it's a good twist, and I like the way it played out this season. PG/Erik had the chance to use the idol last week by blindsighting Todd after the vote, telling James to use it or he'd be toast... nevertheless, it brings something to the show... if an underdog has it they can...
