I should add that it wouldn't necessarily be obvious to everyone that the Idol has been found. They might just think that they've misinterpreted the clues and the Idol is hard to find.

My personal unsubstantiated opinion is that when anyone else is sent to Exile Island they will be given the same clues as Terry, plus any others -- and they will fruitlessly search. I also think there will only be one immunity idol on Exile Island. And as Auntimike said, I know for sure that Jeff said that if the II is used then the person getting the second highest # of votes is booted.

SeaMonkey gets "Why Tree" credit, too. Hey Sea, you may enter our group of "one-time geniuses." Wouldn't you think they should be voting to evict the people who just got back from EI to force them to use the II if they have it? Why wait until right before final four to give them a pass? I'd think the others would want to force a possible II-finder to use it earlier in the game rather than later. Maybe the voters are scared they would be #2 in the voting and don't want to chance it? But wouldn't it just kill you to get booted in the #5 position when you had the chance and the knowledge that that person "possibly" had found the II?

(((The way Dalton on Survivor Live explained it, the Idol is returned to Exile Island only after it is used so at most only one person can have it.))) i don't understand what that means. why return it to exile island if it can't be found or used again? just give it to the person who used it so they can sell it on eBay! does that post mean that only one person can have it AT A TIME? can it be found and used again? by the same person, or another person? or does it mean it can only be used once in the entire game. so terry uses it, or no one uses it. tabby shakes head in confusion.

It is to your advantage (initially) if you are in an alliance with someone who has it at the merge. Let’s say that the two tribes go into the merge. Your tribe has five people and the other tribe has five as well. But your main guy has the idol. When it comes to tribal council, if the other tribe votes for your guy with the idol and you vote for someone on the other tribe – guess who wins. The tribe with the person who has the idol. Now of course, that means that the other tribe would have to vote for your strongest player and that player has to have the idol.

Tabbyking, sorry for the confusion. I meant that only one person can have it *at a time*. Multiple people cannot all have the Idol at the same time. If Terry uses it, it goes back to Exile Island. The next person to find it (Terry or anyone) can then use it when needed. After they use it, it goes back to the island, and so on.

I would be really ***offed if I was sent to Exile Island, given clues to the idol and went looking, not knowing that it had already been found and I never had a chance to find it!

I clearly understand about if Terry gets the most votes and uses his II, that the person with the next highest amount of votes gets booted off the island. Also, it was made clear that whoever found the II could use it up through the Final Four. My question is... now that we are down to 11 Survivors (I think), there should probably be at least 6 more trips to Exile Island. They can't keep sending Terry out there each time, so sooner or later someone else is going to go to Exile Island and will need to look for the Idol. Unlessssssssss.... they stop sending them to Exile Island because once they merge at 10 it will be individual immunity.

duuuuhhh.... Lexie... Spear, I didn't read your whole post about Dalton saying the II would be returned to Exile Island after it was used. Scratch what I said in the above post.

LOL Lexie. Come 'n sit down on the couch beside me. <pats couch> I'm not sure it was clear about the Exile Island II, if it went back after it was used the first time. I don't recall Jeff saying anything other than that the finder of the II can hang onto it until F4. And I just searched everywhere else and couldn't find any info on it. That said, I think it's really silly for the one tribe to keep sending Terry to Exile Island. That just gives him more time to find the idol, thereby making him safe (even if his tribe falls apart while he's gone). Unless they are smart in their thinking, and he'll be the first one voted out after the merge; forcing his hand, so to speak. But honestly? I don't think they are thinking that smart! And I do think there are other clues, so if someone else gets sent there, that person will get all of the clues plus a new one. It'll just mean that the person searches, quite fruitlessly, for the II. The clues are vague enough that you could think you missed it, and I would hope that Terry covered his tracks enough to preclude anyone from figuring out that he found it.

Lexie_Cat curls up next to Costacat on the Confusion Couch.\clipart{paw Do you see how confused I got during the five minutes I was alone in here? I went to take my shower and I kept thinking to myself "these people are going to think I'm nuts."

Actually, I think it is smart to keep sending only one/same person to Exile Island. Then, it would be most likely that they, and only they, would/could have the Immunity Idol. If you sent all sorts of different people you would never be able to surmise who 'might' have it. I would rather play as if I "knew" that only one person might have it. Am I making any sense with this?

They had an Immunity Idol in the last survivor, and once it was used, it was over. It was not hidden again for someone else to find.

It certainly is to TERRY's advantage to keep going to Exile Island so that no one can verify what he might have found...

O.K., so I'm still confused. If others go to Exile Island, what is their incentive for looking for the idol? And, what if they get all the clues and look and find that it is gone? Would that be fair? I think if you get sent to Exile Island, figure out the clues and know where the idol is/should be then you should "find" an idol. Help?

Lalalala, a lil' bit spoiler if you don't want any inkling about tonight's show, lalalala lalala Auntie, I agree with you. But that won't be as fun. Right now it looks like Terry might be able to sail through to merge and protect himself later. Unless the Dumber(or Dumb) tribe can figure that out and start to vote him out at first chance...

Lalalalalalal More "possible spoiler" Lalalalala Based on where they showed Sally digging (by the water barrel at one point), it didn't appear that she had figured out the clues as clearly as Terry had. She was by the Y tree at one point, but they didn't show her digging there. Again -- we saw about 30 seconds of her stay there, so who knows how close she actually got.

Why did the previews of both coming shows show Dan in them? I paused the tape to make sure it was him. It was.

Thanks, Sally. That makes sense for next week, but he was also in the one they said was on in 3 weeks...I think.
