This season its either under a bridge or in a tree, if they hit it where you had to dig no one would ever find it without some clues. Russell did great finding them, but if he was on earlier seasons he is out of the game by now, very simly

It's a level playing field. If it's easy for Russel to find, it should be easy for anyone else to find too. If any of you were on Survivor, I'm sure you'd start looking without any clues, and could probably find it. That's the advantage of actually watching the show, and coming in with a plan. I still think it's lame that Russel always gets to have an idol, but I blame the producers for casting a bunch of dumbasses. I remember when Todd said in a confessional "Sometimes it seems like I'm the only person actually playing the game." And he was basically right. The trend of Survivor seems to be that they cast a bunch of idiots so we can all laugh when the pwnt by the 2 or 3 smart people that were hand picked to win.

Right now their prize piggy is finding all of them so they don't mind, but they won't risk some casting dud like Brett in future seasons finding them all like Russell did.

Russell isn't finding the HIIs because he is a "prize piggy"; he is the "prize piggy" because he found all the HIIs!!!

In Micronesia you had to be sent to exile to find them, and then you had to read like five clues, each clue leading you to the next clue and so on. Parvati actually did find one without the clues tho. The REAL first time that happened, they didn't even air it. Probst said they basically want the idols to be found and played at every possible opportunity. I wouldn't be surprised if this season becomes the norm.

And the fact that Parvati found one and decided that she was better off NOT bringing it back to camp proves something IMO. Russell H. is being so overrated by the editing. He was toast at F11 and now because of an early merge and an idol he's probably gonna win. Whereas a real player not only doesn't need it, but realizes it'll only derail her game and start trouble.

I bet that was exactly how production felt about Brian H, Earl, and Chris, in one order or another. But hey, as long as it's their golden boy, it's OK. Government 101 all over again.

I reckon when Russell found the first one, the producers saw potential entertainment and went with it, using easy clues and easy hiding spots. And IMHO, that's fine for one season... but if this becomes the Normal gameplay then bleh. But as this seasons novelty, it beats the Rich Man-Poor Man shit. It's not Russell's fault that this crowd of survivors are completely lame. I wonder if the big rain they had at the start of the season just knocked the fight out of them.

I actually just met Yau-Man this weekend and we were talking about Samoa and he said virtually the same exact thing! How he had to dig way in the ground, under sleeping survivors, etc. and now its so easy, in a tree, under a rock, under a bridge.. It does make for exciting TV I guess. They're all about the ratings!

I know. Hence why I said "right now". In others words, right now is conveniant for them to barely hide the idols because they know Russell will be the first one to find them. I'm not one of those tards who thinks the show is rigged for him, but if he's benefitting from something, production sure as hell won't put a stop to it.
