Hidden Immunity Idol

The Hidden Immunity Idol (also known as the "Immunity Idol" or simply as "The Idol") is a pocket-sized talisman, and is widely believed to be the most groundbreaking twist ever to be created on Survivor. Its purpose is to, one way or another, negate all votes cast against the holder when he or she chooses to play it. The idol has influenced many of the contestants' strategies, whether they utilize the object, or defuse its powers. The Hidden Immunity Idol made its debut in , and in seasons containing the Exile Island twist, the idol is usually hidden there, though not always.
It is not to be confused with the Tribal Immunity Idol or Individual Immunity Necklace, as the Hidden Immunity Idol is not available at challenges. However, clues to the whereabouts of the idol may exist at camp.
==Overview==
Its purpose is to negate votes that the holder receives at Tribal Council. Despite its potential to make its owner survive longer in the game, it can only be used once (where the idol will be either re-hidden or discarded after its use). With this, owners should be careful about divulging information about possessing one and/or when to use it, because a player can still be eliminated with the Idol in their possession, thus going home bringing his/her Idol with him (dubbed as "flushing"). Another limitation is that the Idol is only valid until a given deadline (usually Day 36). A player may hold more than one Idol (if available).
