Idols have brought nothing to the game in ages, so they should just do away with the idea completely.

The idols have never brought anything to the game. Actually, we've had one good episode in Fiji (Ed's boot), one in China (James's boot), and one in Micronesia (Ozzy's boot). Otherwise, it takes up more air time than half of the cast.

I like the HII; it reveals interesting facets of people's gameplay and personality.

It certainly isn't a non-factor. Its influence on the game is more subtle than some of you would prefer I guess. Whether you find it amusing or frustrating depends on (a) whether or not you like the person who has it and (b) whether you like how it's handled by that person.


e.t.a. - chad, I think Russell will do his damnedest to find it again without being given a clue. Actually, I hope he does. I've gone from hating him to hoping he makes it to the end.

I think it is essentially a non factor. The China, Micronesia, Gabon and Tocantins seasons would have been more or less the same without them, and would have no doubt improved all of them. For one, Parvati would have had to struggle more in Micronesia, which would more honestly underline her gameplay ability.

Incorrect. Without the idols in Micronesia, Amanda leaves at the final 6 (or it is sent to purple rocks where there was a 66% chance that a fave would leave with Erik having immunity), and Natalie or Alexis wins. Most likely Natalie.

Haven't we done this before?

F6-Amanda
F5-Erik(Yes, Natalie and Alexis give up their lead to get rid of this big challenge threat)
F4-Cirie or Alexis
F3-Cirie or Alexis

Based on challenge statistics, Parvati is a better challenge performer then Cirie, Natalie or Alexis. This strongly hints at her winning the last challenge. She probably takes Natalie.

Eliza: Parvati
Ozzy:Natalie
Jason:Parvati
James:Natalie
Amanda:Parvati
Erik:Natalie
Cirie:Parvati
Alexis: Parvati, based on what she will "do" with the money.

It's not a foolproof speculation, but a solid one if I say so myself.

Even if they wanted to get rid of Erik before Cirie (which I don't buy at all), he won immunity at the final 5. There was no way in hell Natalie tries to have him give it to her if the fans have the numbers. Cirie goes at 5. Erik will leave the first time he doesn't win immunity, and Parvati will go if he does. The finals consists of Natalie and Alexis barring an immunity win.

Now, even if your theory works out, a jury vote between Parvati and Natalie is an easy win for the fan. Eliza has said countless times her thread that she was rooting for the fans (on the show, in Ponderosa clips, in her thread), Ozzy and James despised Parv, Alexis was her best friend from day one (that is ridiculous if you really don't think she would vote for Natalie). That's 4 votes right there, Parv has Amanda and Cirie for sure. Jason didn't know that Natalie was behind his boot (she didn't vote for him), and he thought they were friends. If Natalie doesn't take out Erik in such a way that happened on the show, he would definitely vote for his fellow fan. I'm not 100% on Erik and Jason, but at the very least, Natalie has a tie.
