        <![CDATA[ The luster they once had has worn off. I&#39;m not even sure if it&#39;s a benefit anymore.


The only way producers can save it is to:

-Stop putting the clues on exile. It tells everyone who may have the idol, effectively nullifying a blindside.

-Allow players to use it AFTER the vote has been revealed.

-Have one and only one idol
