play their idol when they know they're getting votes, especially at the first tribal. I'd be soooo paranoid that i'm gonna be blindsided, that i'd use my idol whether I knew I was safe or not. The fact that people can ignore that thought in the back of their head saying to play the idol when Jeff asks, is astonishing. With a million dollars on the line, there's no doubt i'd play it if I knew there was a slight chance i'm going home. Not playing an idol and going home would easily be the worst decision of my life and i'd cry about it every day.
well i mean its a risk if you got sent home with an idol at least you got a trophy and by the end of the game the idols are woth $$ but yes i agree with you!
