Dwight Schrute : Three immunity idol clues, and you'll receive a immunity idol. Jim Halpert : Now, that sounds serious. Dwight Schrute : Oh, it is serious. Five immunity idols, and you're looking at an immunity idol nullifier. Four of those, and you'll receive a fire token. Keep it up, and you're looking at a super immunity idol. Two of those, that will land you in a world of hurt, in the form of a super immunity idol nullifier, written up by me, and placed by the central fire pit at the next tribal council.
Russell’s biggest downfall is that he thinks finding idols makes him entitled to win the game. Yes it’s a legit and significant part of modern survivor, but idols alone don’t make up for pissing off the jury with arrogance and disrespect
Survivor needs to bring back exile island and make it the only place where you can get idols or advantages. It would really help tone down the amount of Advantages.
That’s what they were going for with ghost island I think,. But ghost island is a once in a great while thing because it would get boring to see the same advantage in multiple season and the same flashback
I think both Ghost Island and Island of the Idols are spinoffs of Exile Island. What I want back is reward challenges than any of these three. Miss them.
I’d love to see the idol hidden at tribal council like it was in that one South African Survivor season. One hilarious idea is to have someone write a fake clue saying that the idol is hidden in Jeff Probst’s pocket and if someone believes it and walks up to Jeff searching his pockets for an idol that doesn’t exist!
Eliza playing the idol wasn't a bad move. Either it's somehow real (1 in a million but hey, she was going home anyway) or she exposes Ozzy for having the real one. The hilarious thing is that Jason was eventually right, it was indeed an idol 10 years later on Ghost Island, and was even played correctly. I've thought about it a long time and I think Kaoh Rong was building on something good. It would be cool if you could find "fragments" of an idol with one fragment granting you immunity before the votes are read like Guatemala, two fragments acts as a standard idol, and three acts like the super idols that Terry Yul and Tony had.
first paragraph: was thinking the same, Eliza may not have 200 IQ, but she sure as hell knew it was "a f__king stick!" second paragraph: that sounds really cool. i would like Survivor to try that one day
It's hard to cover the entire history of the idol in just 30 minutes, but you did a really good job. I think you could almost make an entire video just about the gameplay surrounding the idols in Heroes v. Villains. In addition to the famous double idol play, you have failed vote splits that led to Cirie and Tyson getting voted out pre-merge, players hiding idols from their ostensible allies and losing trust as a result, Rupert bluffing that he had an idol with a rock in his pocket, Sandra putting on a masterclass in jury showmanship by playing her idol, etc.
CZcams wants to recommend me Survivor all of a sudden. I'm glad I clicked this one. It's been fun watching the history of the show for someone who hasn't watched since Heroes vs Villains
As underpowered as the original idol was (effectively an extra immunity necklace), I was dying to know whether Gary had found it or not. I really liked that the producers left that ambiguous until the time came for him to actually play it. And then Survivor overcorrected by making the idol incredibly overpowered in the next two seasons (especially Yul's version) before getting it right with the current version.
Gary, Amanda and the second idol Ben found were the only instances where the question going into tribal is whether or not they found it. I wish that was used more often, but then again it would get old very quickly! Gary you could argue found an idol without a clue, but he technically had a second hand clue from Judd!
@@giovanniorellana2200 he actually has a CZcams channel now where he talks about survivor from a fan perspective and player perspective so he probably has seen a lot
yea, but unlike Russell, Gary used his 200 IQ to try and search for clues from Judd. Russell literally just straight up went searching from nowhere, with not a single pointer
The law of diminishing returns is starting to apply to idols and advantages. I feel like IOI and WaW prove that advantages don’t really feel like advantages if there’s too many of them that are too easy to find/be given. I’m much more engaged in there being a single idol that the whole cast has to be paranoid about then having a Game Changers situation when literally everyone can be immune at a tribal. Idols are one of the smartest twists ever pu into the game and they make for super entertaining TV, However hope there is never double digit idols found in a season ever again 😂
I hated Russel as a character (and I do consider the Survivor contestants characters on some level), but I did respect how he could find immunity idols without the clues. If only he had realized that you need the jury to like or at least respect you to win.
One thing I think should have been mentioned was in Caramoan when Malcom used both his immunity idols to counter the split vote. While it didn't work out as well, it was still a cool thing to see and something that caught me off guard. And also the Tyson boot in HvV as that showed how risky the split vote was as it takes just 1 vote to ruin things and have the numbers flipped. Those 2 idol moves were real gamechangers in my eyes. Maybe you could do a video on the whole split vote premise and reference those there.
For sure. This video was more focused on the idol itself and how it was used in different ways (meaning how it was implemented in the game), but I do think a history of every single idol play is in order to cover these great moves.
The Caramoan split vote still triggers me, they gave the core alliance an out by saying Phillip is getting votes, there was no risk for the others, needed to say we are all voting a different person 3 of you are getting tied for the most votes, I suggest you vote for somebody other wise you could be in trouble
@@br4dyv Someone brought up in a different comment section that the three amigos best play was to not tell anyone who they were voting for, only vote for each other, and then negate every vote cast against them. That way on the revote only the majority is eligible for votes and they can decide who goes home like Brenda or Andrea.
The idol clue fight at the movie reward in season 20 might be one of the best clue finding moments. I think that season also had clues in the rice, is that the only time it occurred?
It's been a long time since I watched survivor but Russell was an absolute legend. It's just a shame he never won... Unless there was a 3rd season I missed that brought him back... I'm not sure if I want to watch this video, just here to reminisce about Russell. The man, the myth, the legend.
Yeah Russell and Boston Rob both came back in a final showdown (since Russell 'defeated' Boston Rob from the Villains Alliance in the HvV Season, then went on to Final 3 in back-2-back seasons). Russell got hated on and voted out 2nd in his tribe for being the biggest threat, Boston Rob got super lucky and landed on a dumb tribe that took him all the way to the end of the game WHERE HE WON-- he was the only returning player left after Russell was voted out I couldn't believe Russell's luck-- if he was on Rob's tribe he would've won easily.
@@OnceUponAnIsland well yes it was absolutely the right call for him but it wasn’t an official correct idol play since it was played early, just like Gary.
He was definitely getting at least 4 votes. However he should've waited to play it till the normal time. Cause what he did actively sabotaged his voting power. If he waited, he a good chance at taking out who he wanted like in the previous vote.
New to your channel. This showed up on my home page, I used to watch this show religiously as a kid, I haven't watched in probably 15 years? Glad I found your channel!!
yo big bob fan, happy to see him in this video. He may not have been the first to make a fake idol but I think he was the one to start the whole fake idol trend.
@@OnceUponAnIsland Also big Bob fan. But you said what he did with Randy didnt benefit his game. He played good with an emotional wreck who he knew would vote emotionally when he had to go bc of him playing the father figure for her. (Very important) That fake idol won Bob the game.
There was a reason Bob played the fake idol - Along with Randy, he was one of the Kotas who was now on the outs, and he felt he was in danger, as the Fangs were now picking off the Kotas (other than Susie who flipped to them in a heartbeat). Bob's reasoning for giving Randy the fake idol was in order to gain favor with Sugar and save himself - which ultimately did benefit him, as while he remained the biggest target for the rest of the season and avoided elimination due to somehow becoming that season's Challenge Dominator, the key thing that saved him in the end and let him win was Sugar deciding not to vote him out at the Final Four and allowing him to go to firemaking against Matty. Of course, one could also still argue that Bob would or could have still won Sugar's favor even without going along with it, and there is also the fact that Bob was PISSED at Sugar afterwards for her behavior during that Tribal Council, but, upon a recent rewatch of the season, Bob did outright say this was his reasoning going in for why he went along with the fake plan. It's just a shame he didn't think to mention all this at Final Tribal Council when Randy grilled him on it and claimed there was "no strategic reason" behind it, but as we all know, Bob giving a terrible FTC performance didn't prevent him from winning anyway
It honestly kind of irks me when people complain about "idols being hidden waste-high right off the path".. do y'all realize how many hiding spots that still leaves? Have you ever had to find something that small in the woods? It's not as simple as y'all like to act like it is. The reason they're in "easier" spots is probably so they don't have to have clues anymore, which gives everyone a shot at finding one.
Andrea Boehlke is the first female returning player to not used a hidden immunity idol she following by Aubry Bracco, Kelly Wentworth and Sophie Clarke
Anyone know what the most idols played in a single tribal is? Also, Cirie got “voted out” in game changers because she was the only one without immunity.
Agreed, even though it made for an awesome moment in DvG. I appreciate the effort the show makes to evolve the game but I don’t like that advantage. Also think the steal a vote advantage needs to go away, as the whole point of the game is to vote people out. Sucks to have such an integral part of the game taken away from players.
Maybe infamous because it went no where? The alliance, if Taj, JT, and Stephen stuck to it, would have had both idols and completely run the game. Pretty disappointing to see Brendan go home so early after orchestrating a potentially amazing cross tribe alliance.
I do feel it's a lot more fair to be mad at the Janet blindside than you made it out to be. Carl had to actually FIND the Idol Nullifier. Dean got it from a coin flip, of all things. It doesn't feel good to know a player's game got completely tanked because they got caught on the wrong side of a coin flip.
at the end u said “the one time we cant judge if they were played correctly “ wouldnt one of bens idol plays count as he played it before votes are cast for theatrics
My favorite is probably Sandra in Heroes v. Villains, even though she didn't need to play it to save herself (she negated two votes, but Rupert was going home anyway). But she put on a show in front of the jury that I think helped her win in the end.
Where does JT get the pad of paper and pen in HvV? I feel like that is an extremely overpowered convenience in startegizing. You could pass notes without ever having to speak in person
Once: 'Here are some fun facts i couldnt include before!' **proceeds to not mention the first time an idol was flushed (by Alex in Fiji), the first time a "it's-day-37-time-to-play-me-idol" idol play happened (by Earl in Fiji) and the first time a fake idol had been played (by Jaime in China)**

You mean what Total Drama All Stars did?
There was also that time in season 34 where cirie was voted out with 0 votes simply because everyone else had an immunity idol
What a travesty, one of the most underrated survivor players of all time, and deserving of a win in my opinion
That tribal was a bit insane
That's when you know there are too many idols
Sounds like survivor turned into yugioh with this immunity, nullify immunity, negate nullify immunity...
All these survivors had to do was ash the immunity idols
Yeah konami did the same thing to keep yugioh fresh they change the game, like rules to off balance their broken meta
Quiet they might replace the firemaking challenge with this if your not careful.

You gotta love Cao Boi and Operation Voodoo. He was so damn entertaining in the Cook Islands.
It’s a shame that he hasn’t come back yet
Cao Boi was amazing. I think he was also the best fire maker in the history of Survivor, or at least the most entertaining.
That’s why Yul voted him out because he realized that Cao Boi was way smarter than he was letting on

The reason tai didn't give Scot his idol is because it would have been a tie on abruy and him and he 100% goes on team revote.
The idol nullifier was such bullshit. I hope they never bring that back.
The nullifier was awesome in David vs Goliath. Most fans think so. They only hated in Island of The Idols cos fans are inconsistet hypocrites.

It happens to a lot of players whether it is the coin flip of a tribe shuffle or a coin flip of a rock draw.
Tbh, the idea of use of the idol after votes are cast, And just before votes read; seems the most optimal
GREAT VIDEO
