I'm actually glad they're bringing this format back. It's only been used in two seasons, and even then, nobody was able to play it. In Panama, because Terry kept winning immunity, he had no reason to use to the idol. Also, due the fact that that it must be played before the final 3, he was never truly garunteed safety. In Cook Islands, Yul was very close to having to play the idol. Had Jonathan not flipped, Yul would have played it, making a 4-4 rivalry. Just because the idol has more power itself, that doesn't mean the player has any more power in the game. It could be the case of the 3 amigos in Caramoan. Nothing is changed. Split votes will still be able to counter the power of the idol, just not as effectively as the current format. It's something we haven't seen in 7 1/2 years and I'm excited to see how things will play out.
