The Fake Immunity Idol, 'Survivor: Gabon'


The Fake Immunity Idol
"Survivor: Gabon," CBS

You know it as: The ingenious necklaces made using beads, resin, feathers and diabolical know-how.

Why we like it: Bob, the grizzled MacGuyver/boy scout, fashions and then fobs off the faux idol on misanthropic Randy, a move that changes the game when Randy falls for it and is humiliated (with accompanying laughter) and voted out of Tribal Council. The second idol was ineffective, but it made a valiant effort to shake up the game further.

Where else you've seen it: As a very lame stick that last season's Ozzy unsuccessfully tried to put into play.
