The point of Survivor isn't twists and secrets, it's survival. I don't know where you got that assumption, but I guess you haven't seen the earlier seasons where advantages were never present. Back then it was to survive or get voted out using nothing but the three main aspects of the game. Survive strategically, survive socially, survive physically. Idols and advantages take away from those three aspects and make it a game of treasure hunting rather than survival. I don't know why the producers have yet to learn from Cirie's elimination in Game Screwers, but I hope they'll pick up soon. Survivor's been going downhill since MvGX.
