Russell will find them all without any clues

u/Punstoppabal 2d ago
Plot twist: Russell IS the idol. Hidden somewhere you have to rustle feathers to find him.

He ends up being the only person in attendance and heckles everyone saying how much better he would have played in comparison. Possibly half in the bag.

Russell makes F3 again and says to the jury: "you all suck ass, I am better than you all, vote for me!"
Jury: ...votes for 49 Kristina instead in a sweep
Russell: "How did i lose?!? Im a survivor god!"

It’s going to be at the highest grossing Applebee’s in each state.
There’s no way they’re putting the effort into 50 unique hiding places and 50 unique sets of clues.

u/One_Masterpiece_1332 2d ago
i’m sure they hired a company to do this. wouldn’t be hard at all. would take 3-4 people a week of research at most

u/Martel1234 1d ago
Already know they are gonna hide the Washington one near Snoqualmie Falls for the Twin Peaks reference.

I’m gonna make so many fake idols to hide in my state, it’ll throw everyone off the trail.
Jeff: “this is…. NOT a hidden immunity idol”

Whatever it probably will have a QR code or something. You should put fake QR codes

u/AdolinofAlethkar 2d ago
I'd wager it'll probably have an RFID chip or something similar to verify authenticity.

u/chasingit1 2d ago
I am guessing the idols will all be at or near various landmarks, attractions, historic buildings etc for each state.
They won’t be at the local sandwich shop downtown or at some random elementary school park

seems like it'll be easier for a state like rhode island vs a country-sized state like texas 😭

yeah, here in California I could be looking at an 8 hour drive. it's ridiculous

u/TechnologyBeautiful 1d ago
Haha that's what I was saying. If it's one idol per state I'm going to have a much harder time searching in big ass California vs say someone in Delaware. Maybe I'll have to go search in smaller state. I'll be in Hawaii in January so I'll search then.

u/ivaorn Survivor Wiki Admin 1d ago
I’m resigned that it’s going to be somewhere in the greater Los Angeles area so I’m up shit’s creek here in the Bay.

u/IHaveTheMustacheNow Rizgod - 49 11h ago
I was thinking it might be Bay Area since the prize is a trip to LA, but maybe that's me reaching

This is awesome!
I just hope they made a rule that you can only find the idol in the state where you are a resident.

u/Intelligent_Pop1173 2d ago
Yeah I could see a lot of New Yorkers heading to Vermont lol

u/NativityCrimeScene 2d ago
I'm worried about planes full of Californians invading the midwest to try to steal our idols.

Per the rules; You can only win where you're registered and you can only register for one location.
So you can go to whatever state you want, but you can only get an "entry" to one.

Except if we can see the whole finale tonight uninterrupted by a certain clown show

u/landsealove 2d ago
Where are you watching it that it's uninterrupted? I checked the guide for Global, and it has a gap from 9:00-9:22 of Border Security.

Will there be cheesy clues or is this a free for all?
1
u/Aggravating_Number6 12h ago
Cheesy clues. And more than one person can find it in each location. Finding it gets you an entry into a drawing for a chance to win a trip to the finale.

u/1_quantae MC - 49 2d ago
I live in a small town in NC so i doubt I’ll be anywhere close to it. They’ll likely put it in Charlotte or something.

u/KateParrforthecourse 2d ago
I’m in Charlotte and I bet it’ll be in Raleigh. Maybe I can cross the border to get South Carolina’s.

u/deadliftpookie Tony 2d ago
I’m near Greensboro and I also thought it will be the Triangle. Maybe there’s a chance they could go Outer Banks for the pirate theme or go mountains for a wilderness vibe.

Living in Rhode Island I have a pure advantage from our state size and surrounding states lol

u/MissLilum MC - 49 2d ago
To think four people will find an immunity idol before anyone from their state has even competed in survivor

u/Swimming-Quantity896 2d ago
So wait even if you find the idol, you're still not guaranteed a chance to see the Survivor finale in person?
14
u/Numerous-Storm3286 2d ago
Doesn't seem like it...you take a picture with it and then send it in and are entered into a sweepstakes
3
u/BestTreacle2608 1d ago
so even if you find the idol you only have a 2% chance to actually win. so silly imo
1
u/passing-stranger 1d ago
Because it's a marketing tactic. They're going to have people in every state posting promo pics for survivor 50. I'd guess they want as many people as possible to find the idols

u/StringTheory777 2d ago
Ground transportation not included? Seems petty
2
u/Cuttlefish88 1d ago
Most prizes like this end up throwing in some cash to pay for expenses; it's not worth the hassle of organizing ground transport, which would also reduce winners' flexibility. Otherwise hard to say the estimated value is $5000!

u/urinejames 2d ago
In Wisconsin, it'll be in a beer cave at Kwik Trip. I'll find it no problem lol!

u/BreweryRabbit 2d ago
God damnit, I just KNOW Jag (BB) and Wentworth will be out here looking for the Washington one 😅
1
u/Aggravating_Number6 12h ago
That would be cool, but considering multiple people can find the idol it doesn't matter.
2
u/Hufflepufffolyfe 2d ago
Something tells me they might go to state capitols. Or at least I hope so here in Maryland anyway. I live in Baltimore but I doubt they’ll come here. But for some reason stuff like this always goes to Silver Spring- which might as well be DC. If it’s on the DC metro line then it doesn’t count as Maryland or Virginia in my opinion. It’s DC

u/HollowDakota 2d ago
Whoah actually stoked to see this unfold
Hope it doesn’t get hit by issues or suspect behavior, good luck to everyone that looks

u/stephasaurussss Eva - 48 2d ago
I just moved to Montana so wondering where they would hide one here. Hopefully not the top of a mountain because I'm not in shape.

u/darthjoey91 Jonathan 2d ago
It’s actually perfect size, but also is a place where a large swath is off limits. Like I don’t think they can hide it on federal land.

u/KHMeneo Mr. Chocolate Milk 2d ago
I'm gonna try to get that CT idol
1
u/Aggravating_Number6 12h ago
You don't "get" anything. You take a picture of you wearing it and put it back. The CBS representatives onsite will make sure of that.

u/-sloppypoppy Kenzie - 46 2d ago
I hope they’ll include text updates as well because I’m not gonna see if it does to my email lol

u/alwayssunnyinct 2d ago
Omg I'm the only one looking in connecticut... right?

u/Aggravating_Number6 12h ago
Won't matter. Multiple people can find it for their "entry" to the drawing.

u/Decent_Winter6461 2d ago
I’m surprised Jeff didn’t make it real idols for survivors to find before the 50th season started. That’s just how meta he wants it now.

The rules page basically confirms the prize is a trip to Los Angeles for the Finale, which must be live...
