I'm admittedly a management geek who loves seeing how complex human systems actually work.

"8:30 a.m. – Catering
Having wrapped his producers meeting, Van Wagenen has an important call to make to an important man, and that man’s name is Jimmy Quigley. As a supervising producer, Quigley does a lot on the show as one of Van Wagenen and Probst’s trusted lieutenants, but there is one particular aspect of his job that every Survivor fan would kill for. “He’s the one who actually plants the idols!” says Van Wagenen. Yes, among Quigley’s responsibilities are the hiding of any and all immunity idols and advantages at the tribe camps. Whenever you see a player reach into a stump, or under a shelter, or up in a tree, or down in in the sand and pull out a package, it was put there by Jimmy Quigley.
“We don’t plant them until day of,” says Van Wagenen. That means Quigley has work to do, and beyond just hiding the idols. “There’s something else that someone from one of the tribes is going to get at the marooning,” reveals Van Wagenen. That something is a clue to an advantage hidden back at the beach. The only question that remains for Quigley is: Which beach? Since the clue could be found by someone from either tribe, Quigley can’t plant it until he knows who from what tribe scored it. “He’s keenly aware that we’re gonna have to plant this thing,” says Van Wagenen.
“We talked in the past few days about where it was gonna be hidden. A lot of times, if there’s a clue to something, and we know that it’s gonna go to a specific beach, we can be really choosy about where the idol goes on that beach. But in this situation, where we don’t know if it’s going to end up at the Manu camp or Kama camp, the clue has to make sense at either beach. While we have a clue that works for both camps, we won’t know which island to put it on until it is found.” Van Wagenen tells Quigley that he’ll contact him with the precious intel as soon as the clue is discovered so Quigley can head to that tribe’s beach and hide it before the contestants arrive. A race against time!"
