Once you are on the outside looking in I actually love telling people about the idol. You want everyone on the edge of their seat and thinking about alternative strategies. It's kind of like what Abi tried to pull off without having the idol: "You guys better be careful, I have the idol"
Sure, you can just split the votes, but even if it only works 1 out of 10 times (because somebody freaks) it's worth it. You need to work every angle if you are in the minority, and the idol is one of it.
