Oh, c'mon - do you honestly think that production doesn't want the other idols in the game? Everybody knows the situation with idols/advantages - there are active players on every tribe who are bound to be looking. We literally see people speculate about who has the idol, Deshawn and Danny were looking as soon as possible.
In fact, if you read Xander's advantage it says the penalty stops at the merge. It doesn't take genius IQ to put two and two together to figure out that the reason that clause wasn't told to us is because it doesn't become relevant. That probably means that the idols will be activated or it's not relevant because Xander gets booted. I'd put money on it being the former.
Even in the preview it seems to indicate Brad or Shan have found something and also shows us idol talk from JD on Green.
In fact this conversation reminds me of the one Tony had with Sarah and Ben at the end of last season. Tony being smart attempted to protect for the plausible worst case scenario of Natalie having an idol from Edge as ridiculous as that sounds, Ben and Sarah pushed a needless majority vote on Natalie which burnt them two idols. Even if you disagree with booting Xander in this position, it seems ludicrous to assume or play for a scenario where he won't have an idol and his vote back PLUS the extra vote he already has.
EDIT: For the record you are the Sarah/Ben in this conversation and I am the Tony
