I liked the reply because Muhammadil Kardullah's RUclips comments are disappeared.
Did the comments disappeared in this error message I post?
Sometimes I don't know it's not done to it.
@@minecraftkhasyridani You think something happens, when you leave a comment that have no error.
@Nurul Aini I realized the project was great.
It's so amazing to me that of all people, Cao Boi is the person who essentially creates the idea of splitting the vote to flush an idol
Cacao Boy is one of the great strategic minds of the games history. Well, he did this atleast.
Based on a dream 😂🤣 of a shaman
@@nigelnyoni8265A shaman talking about siging up for credit cards haha
All because a shaman lady was handing out credit card applications… cao boy had a screw loose in his head 😂
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
I look forward to his story video to break everything down and see what exactly when wrong and when.
I'm subscribing just because of this comment. Looking forward to your review of his games. Great content and detail man.
The advantage is knowing everyone's vote is for you the reason it's not a viable strategy is because no one on the jury votes for you to win

He might never win but he IS the Idol king. He is more recognizable than a lot of the actual winners, he might not have the money but he has the fame.
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.
Jim: I want that super immunity idol nullifier at the central fire pit at the end of the day or you will receive a full disadulation.
@Peter McGill oh you don't wanna know

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.
You mean what Total Drama All Stars did?
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.
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
>this is just a stick
>it has a face on it tho
flawless
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
I
It’s hilarious that Ozzy made an idol that looks like a prehistoric dildo 😂
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.
Thanks! I feel like the history of actual idol plays is a different beast and probably a multi part series.
"That's not the idol it's a f###ing stick"
*But it's got a face on it!*
I love Eliza haha
Can we just give a moment for JTS beautiful handwriting 😄
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
RUclips 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.
At the Guatemala reunion show, they showed the clip of Gary finding the idol
I haven't watched it since it aired so I will now have to take a look because I thought they legitimately did not record him finding it.
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!
@@megabitproductions30 That's true
Russell Hantz: In the history of survivor how many people found an idol without a clue... 0
Gary Hawkins (Humble Landscaper):am I a joke to you
@@landonweaver1040 He didn't see Guatemala cause he hadn't seen much Survivor in general back then. He probably hasn't seen it to this day honestly!
@@giovanniorellana2200 he actually has a RUclips 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.
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?
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.
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!!
I still crack up at Eliza looking at Jason‘s fake idol “ this is just a napkin” “it’s got a face on it” “it’s a f****** stick”😂
Was such a pleasure remembering seasons 11-20 🥰
This was AMAZING! Thank you so much!!!
James bragging about his idols”Whatcha you mean how about one of theeses!” Get voted out with both
I love when Jay went to use his and Jeff tossed it in the fire lol
'It's just a fucking stick!' 🤣🤣🤣 i chuckle every single time
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.
He played on Australian survivor
He appeared in redemption island and was booted off 2nd
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.
There are many words that could be used to describe Russell.
"Legend" is not one of them.
@@teecakesfacts
Wentworth, will not count
Love the video, halfway through maybe you answer it later but when was the first successful split vote?
6:05 what a dream... And what a connection he made from the dream to the flush idea
Like the Gary idol play, Bens idol play at the final six is also another idol play that we can’t judge because it was played before the vote
Ben needed to play it though. It was no secret he was the target.
@@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.
oh my god Gary I knew it. the start of it all...
Loved this. Have you done a history of tribe swaps in the past?
10:06 I’m not quite sure how Jason’s camera man was able to hold back laughter
Tony was an absolute madman. It was a good season!
When Johnny comes marching home, nice music choice
Thank you for keeping Survivor fan's hope alive!
@J v k Style Yes I can't wait, I heard from somewhere that they will do back-to-back seasons to catch up.
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
Ah yes, the irl totem of undying.
I haven't watched Survivor in probably over a decade, but I specifically remember loving Russel just because he pissed everyone else off, lol.
Easter egg: you also made Rick Devins your decoy winner. Nice!!
You forgot to mention in Micronesia Amanda’s idol play. The first time a woman successfully played an idol
I LOVE IDOLS! WE NEED THEM IN BULGARIAN SURVIVOR!! They add intresting twists to the game!!! :)
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.
I would say he had the first successful fake idol.
@J v k Style His was funny but it didn't work lol
@@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.
IM SMILING

Please tell me you included the guy who tried to use the podium
thanks for the most entertaining history lesson of my life
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
GREAT VIDEO
They really added microtransactions to Survivor.
Someone remind me what the violin song title is at the beginning
does anyone know what the song in the background of the begining is
In Guatemala, Gary was caught on camera while having the idol, as shown in the reunion
I haven't rewatched that reunion since it aired so I will definitely need to do so.
You should do a video about the Survivor Car curse
lovely video
Thanks!
Russel is such a survivor icon!!!
This is what we call the "Super idol"...
SUPER IDOL 的笑容都没你的甜-
Bob most certainly deserved to win Gabon!
The ants go marching one by one, hoorah, hoorah.
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.
Never seen a single episode of this show but watched like 11 of your videos in a row.
oooo we are getting a patreon video to watch
I was 5 20 years ago, wow
My favorite survivor player of all time
You should check out survivor south Africa's season 4 contestant Harry's immunity idol blunder. It's kind of hilarious.
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.
My pastor was on Season 12... Damn.
(It was Austin)
Austin is a pastor now? Cool!
Yeah
Bob's fake idol was so genuis that i didnt bother watching another season cos i didnt think anything would top that
25:00 smug 😂😂😂
25:15 iconic.
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
In HvHvH? Ben needed to play an idol every chance he got.
26:35 imagine having a statue in your honour 😮
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.
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.
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
It was Amanda's luxury item that the heroes won on a previous reward. James won his 2 immunity idols from China back.
@@OnceUponAnIsland lol thanks
What is the background music called?
When Johnny Comes Marching Home
Jeff should introduce fake idols in the future survivor seasons to mess with people lol
They did that in a few past seasons. It never really worked.
Tbh, the idea of use of the idol after votes are cast, And just before votes read; seems the most optimal
12:53
Infamous alliance
Infamous means it was famous for bad reasons.
Was the alliance terrible? I didn't see the episode
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.
how about the limited use idols like in micronesia. most of them were "hidden"
Actually the first person to play a fake idol was Jaime from China
King Rusell
Russel!!! ❤
Does anyone know if Russell still has that letter?
He posted that he does on Instagram.
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.
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.
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.
🌹🌹
22:00 ben. Legend 😂😂😂
9:43 I never knew the fucking stick had a name.
Loved the video, but wished Amanda in Micronesia to be included.
I wish they would have a season where there are no idols.
I need a character watch on Russell the dudes a beast
YOU FORGOT AMANDA IN MICRO
That was a great one! But this isn't every single idol play in the shows history.
Most important? I sense James in this video.
Before attempting to find an idol, make sure you have a clue to its location.
Yao man was my dude
They did JT dirty
