I think if I'm there, I think it seems odd/suspicious that Tony says it could be used in the final 4. But it does have "special powers" and we have no idea what that means.

you've got to watch Survivor Panama: Exile Island (S12) and Survivor: Pearl Islands (S7)

after that, I'd recommend some All-Star seasons like Micronesia (S16) and HvsV (S20)

Really? Because even though there would be plenty of F2/F3 tribal counsel combos I would rather see, I would still cosign on Woo winning $1m and watching everyone bash Kass for 30 minutes. Hell, for me that would probably be more entertaining than 1/3 to 1/2 of the FTC from past seasons.

Feel free to correct me as I may be misremembering, but I don't think anyone knew he had it or what special powers it had if he did? Tell me again how it affected this season.

From a viewership point of view it definitely had an effect on the season. Knowing tony wont go home is not as fun as the possibility he would.

I haven't thought this all the way through, but is there any chance of Kass losing a fire challenge at 4? Say Spencer wins immunity, Tony convinces others that his special powers idol is still in play. Spencer and Kass vote Woo, Woo and Tony vote Kass? Sure Tony should probably vote Woo there, but who the hell knows with that guy?

If he doesn't have that special idol to fall back on, maybe his paranoia makes him play a regular one during the previous 2 weeks. That's at minimum more entertaining to watch, and might've completely changed things, especially if it went back into play for someone else to find.

If it is a final 2 and Woo and Kass are there watch their ratings plummet astronomically in the 2nd hour. Really, who would care if either of them won? It would be yet another Fabio or Natalie win, and a complete farce to all the people who have really enjoyed this season.

I'd like to think if that was going to happen they would have edited the whole season slightly differently without all of the Tony/Spencer focus, especially in the past couple of episodes.

I mean every logical f2 has kass in it, which means we already will know who wins going into FTC. f2 will suck.

F2 is such BS

imagine if we had F2 last year and Tyson got Cirie'din the FIC and we had to watch the jury choose a winner from Monica and Gervase after berating them for 30 minutes

it would certainly make that season look a lot worse in hindsight

that's why F2 blows, you could look at a # of seasons where the 3rd place finisher played by far the best game and was only prevented from winning in the end b/c they didn't convert a ~33% chance stacking cards, holding a pole or whatever random BS

exactly

we don't want Survivor to become a competition of who can lucksack their way into sitting next to the biggest goat in the Final Tribal Council

making it a F3, just about ensures that the winner is going to be worthy in some capacity

This video makes it clear why Tony was likely smart to turn on Trish last night. If she makes that her opening speech and has that attitude at FTC, she wins $1M. I never saw her be that articulate nor introspective in any of her confessionals on the island.

Since acquiring both idols, why has he had to put in any effort? His only effort really needs to be to bring the right people to f4 so he can make it through to f3. However, the majority of his efforts have just been trolling people, and pissing people off, which is indirectly accomplishing his goal of being assured a spot in f3 since people will bring him along because the whole jury hates him.

That has not been his intention, but that's what has happened.

With 2 idols, one being a super idol, he could have coasted to the f4. If he just coasts, he's probably a threat to win because then he hasn't pissed anyone off.
