Survivor's overdoing of immunity idols

As the great Clay Jordan once said, "No shit, Sherlock."

That may work. I think the producers have forgetten what the purpose of twists are. Twists, in my view, are to enhance the players and bring about interesting reactions. Like how Andrew on PI treated the Outcasts, that was fascinating. Twists are not designed to replace actual camp content.

The way I see it is that it has become a part of the game. I don't like that.

From Survivor 1-10 you could explain Survivor as a show where Tribes of people faced of and after immunity challenges the losing tribe would vote someone out. Around 10 players left the game would become individual.

Now it is the same but you have to add "And throughout the game hidden immunitiy idols will be hidden around the island or camp for those lucky enough to retrieve them to...

No. No assignments, no engineering the game to make it more appealing to slobbering morons who are in no way the actual casual base. No ridiculous editing.

Hopefully the producers are reading.

Maybe a new twist: the exile assignment.

The person has to complete a certain task before the next tribal council, from simple things like getting a tribe-member to eat a worm, to having to catch one fish, to losing the tribes flint for 3 days, to even having to target a specific person at the next tribal council (with successful results). I guess its kind of like America's player except not stupid. If they don't complete their...

Wow, is quite a shock to know I've got another personality I was never aware of.

All kidding aside, don't disagree with you; it was a good one time twist in EI but made way too powerful, pretty much ruined that season in the end though by ensuring Cirie leave, then also helped ruin Cook Islands too by handing the game to Yul. Fixed in Fiji, but they should have retired it after that, or China at the absolute latest. By the end of China we had...

The Guatemala one could potentially force people into random vote splits. I wish they kept things that way

The Guatemala one was perfect. Wasn't overpowered, and even better, EVERYONE had a chance at it and only gained advantages through winning challenges. Unlike, say, 18 out of 20 players in a season having no chance to look for the idol while the person who got it due solely to being randomly picked to go to Exile by Billy wins the game because of it.

If they're going to shove the HII down our throats like they do, I think they should use the Guatemala HII. That one was better (and more fair) than the other 2.

What a new and original topic!

When that's said, I hate hate hate how much time is spent on the idol(s)..

I wouldn't mind if they left it at one HII per tribe, and then once it's used, it's done with. No more re-hiding it up until the f5.

This season and I guess over the last several- since the show started obsessing over hidden immunity idols I feel like the producers feel like the only way to make the show interesting now is with hidden immunity idols which of course is totally untrue. There are WAY too many people with immunity at one time and the idols are retardedly easy to find.

Given how many immunity idols there are in a season, how easy they are to find and how easy it seems to be now, to make fake ones, I...
