Honestly, what's everyone's gripe with the super idol? 1. Anyone who places J'Tia within the top several hundred of an all-time rankings list might as well go watch Jersey Shore...Putting J'Tia at the top demonstrates such an utter lack of respect for everything Survivor does better than most of reality tv (specifically that the game is largely strategic instead of a barrage of mindless drama, which is all a J'Tia character offers). All three members of the guys' alliance have shown themselves capable of a modicum of strategy, which should automatically place them in at least the top 300, far ahead of J'Tia.

2. The same gripe people have had about Redemption Island/Outcasts Twist/Other Super-Idols...too much power and influence over eliminations. The idol is too powerful a tool and too great of a game-changer in it's ability to bring people back from the brink of elimination. Personally, I find it better than previous super idols such as Tony's "Tyler Perry" idol because it does require two people to cooperate and acknowledge their idols to each other, but I still believe it to be far too impactful.
