Survivor - Fiji (spoilers)

Until Probst said so, I did not know that, once used, the immunity idol would be rehidden for someone else to potentially find.

Me either. That works for me. Keeps Exile Island banishment in play for more than just a punishment.

Has an immunity idol ever actually been played before?

I do not recall it happening but I have not watched all seasons of the show.

This is the 3rd season with the hidden idols. Panama: Exile Island and Cook Islands both had them. I'm almost positive Guatemala did not. Terry had it in Panama & Yul had it on Cook Islands. Both times, it wasn't needed at TC but it was used as leverage in both shows.

So no, I don't think one has ever been played.

That was a good episode. It felt like a 7 player Diplomacy game and that warmed my heart.

I'm worried for Yau Man. I think he said the wrong thing after the immunity challenge (that he could go another hour.) Combine that with the remaining 4 horsemen finding out about him having the idol....makies me worried.

I like Yau Man and I'm hoping the next few episodes go predictably...removing each of the remaining horsemen.

I totally agree - I thought that was a nice little touch.

Wikipedia sez there was one in Guatemala, found by Gary (the quarterback). Unlike the later idols, this one had to be used before the vote.

Is anyone surprised that Alex turned on Mookie?

Not really. The two hadn't managed to do anything to dent the alliance of 6, so I think Alex just realized that it was going to be either himself or Mookie going home, and he preferred it to be Mookie. I don't think there was any malice in his decision.

Speaking of malice though...Stacey has got to go. Her comment about Alex and Mookie being "lucky if they get fed" really ticked me off. She said something similar about Dreamz and Cassandra (?) earlier in the game when her alliance got a numbers advantage.

That's my impression, too. Actually, I thought it was rather brilliant of him (as much as I'm looking forward to seeing him go).

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one! I must have forgotten it because the way it had to be used made it just a stopgap vote out tool.
