Idols have been a part of the game for most of the series, and I'm ok with people using them on one occasion to shift the game. Because even the best Survivor players can't control everything that happens. However I don't like rewarding someone who's entire basis of their end game is centered around idols. Ben was the Survivor glitch this season he had infinite lives. However, as of season 30 we are in the advantage era and season 34 was the start of the absurd level of items we have today. Survivor is becoming Mario Kart or Party, even Super Smash Bros with items on. It's not personally how I would run this game, but this shift in dynamic means what was seen as bad gameplay 10 seasons ago will be considered good gameplay now according to the jury. However, there still has to be limits and I hope at the very least they move up the idol deadline back to final 6 or even final 7. I would prefer the latter because the odds of there being 5 idols in the game at one time is very unlikely (I would hope). Hmm, Nintendo references.
