I kinda agree with Rockstar 1514. The various Idols (dubbed Special Idols) might have the potential to change the way the game is played. Here is my list of Special Idols along with their respective effects:

1) Last-Minute Immunity Idol - Grants the user immunity before votes are cast, a la Guatemala.

2) Skip Idol - Allows the user to skip Tribal Council.

3) Double-Vote Idol - Allows the user to vote twice.

4) Draw Two Idol (like Uno's Draw Two, for lack of better names) - When it is used, a castaway can force a castaway to receive two votes prior to voting.

5) Switch Votes Idol - Switches the number of votes received between any two players.

6) Block Idol - Blocks the power of any Idol (Hidden or Special Idols).

The rules regarding the Idols:

1) To gain access to a Special Idol, a tribe must forfeit a reward in exchange for the clue to the location of the Special Idol. This means, six rewards must be forfeited by any winning tribe in order to gain access to the Idol.

2) The Idols can only be possessed once. That means, if a castaway finds a Special Idol, he/she must play it at the next Tribal he/she attends and he cannot have the Idols ever again. After every Tribal Council, if the Idol(s) remain(s) unused, the owner(s) must leave it in secret near the sitting area for castaways, and the Idol(s) would be hidden at a winning tribe's camp and can be possessed by anyone.

3) The Idols can only be used once.

The inclusion of these Idols introduces a new level of combination between luck and precision to the game. Luck comes into play when a castaway has the right Special Idol at the right time, and precision comes when he/she plays it, also at the right time.

Don't worry, the normal Hidden Immunity Idols would still be available and can be used many times. One more thing, there should be three tribes of eight castaways each, because I would like to see a 24-castaway season. That means, three Hidden Idols and six Special Idols would come into play.

It's just my idea. Comments are welcome.
