The only way producers can save it is to: -Stop putting the clues on exile. It tells everyone who may have the idol, effectively nullifying a blindside. -Allow players to use it AFTER the vote has been revealed. -Have one and only one idol

S15- Just made a target, never used S16- This season was what it was because of the HII S17- Used to null 2 votes at Final 6 S18- Never used I hope that next season doesnt include the HII, just to make things fun again. Bring in some other twists, because 8 seasons of the HII is enough

Bring in some other twists, because 8 seasons of the HII is enough Yau used it to save himself at F6. And Alex used it and failed in the hilarious Edgardo blindisde. And Earl played one as well, but it didn't change anything. But yeah, I agree with you. I hate the stupid idol. But I don't think it's going anywhere.

I think it's those two things in conjunction that make it all so routine and predictable. Have one HII per tribe, and each tribe member has access to the first clue. That way, anyone could have the idol. No one would be above suspicion. I suspect the voting would be a little less predictable that way. And no more Exile. It's just not that interesting to see some lone Survivor bemoaning their plight as they try to start a fire.

It unquestionably kept Yul in the game until the end because nobody wanted to face it. At least they realized that SNAFU when the entire season came down to "He who finds the HII wins" i seriously dont remember a thing about survivor fiji For that you should be grateful.

I don't think I would mind it if they did like a Guatemala-esque idol where everyone gets the clue at treemail or something and it's hidden around camp. But exile eats up so much screen time.

Ever since the rules were changed, and the HII started recieving more air time than the fourth place finisher, the HII has sucked. I hope Pao giving the producers the ultimate "Fuck you" by not playing it will finally tell them to abandon the shitty twist.

Did Coach even read his clue when he went to Exile this week? Or was production so entranced by his blatherings that they forgot to shoot that part?

Let's say that there was no exile or HII this season: - no Exile Alliance forms btwn Brendan, Taj, Sierra and Stephen . . . Even if there's exile and no idols, part of what made the exile alliance happen was the incentive of sharing control over two idols. - because there's no exile alliance, no chance of inter-tribe bonds happen and when there's a merge, Brendan decides it's too risky to be attempting an intertribal alliance, especially since he has now worked harder at kissing Coach's ass because he doesn't have the exile alliance or HII in his back pocket. - Brendan not being as shady causes a straight pagonging. Sucksters complain that pagongings are sooo predictable and why can't the producers do something to shake things up. - We don't get to see Eddie George. Boo hoo. - Power plays ensue at F6, Sierra and Erin are underestimated as non-threats, and end up as the F2. More Suckster complaints. - Winner: Erin. Everyone complains about a boring mactress win.
