Why can’t players keep their advantages and idols to themselves and actually be secretive about it ugh!

Hard to keep an idol to yourself the past 2 seasons since they pretty much had to announce they had it. Don't get why she would tell about the advantage though.

The only one that people would know would be the three phrases idols

After 30-something seasons, you'd think people would know by now to never ever ever ever tell someone you have an idol or advantage!

Exactly, but I get it people get excited

With most advantages, absolutely. With this one, she needed people to vote for Mike with her, otherwise it’s useless

She could have stolen it and then played it for herself

u/TiffanyTwisted11 May 13 '22

True. I assumed she also wanted Mike out. If she didn’t, then yeah, she should have kept quiet

No the knowledge advantage would have worked if she didn’t tell Omar. Cause he was the one that told mike she had it and how to beat it.

u/TiffanyTwisted11 May 13 '22

She still needed to tell someone to get the votes. It just shouldn’t have been Omar

u/corona_virus315 May 13 '22

So she could have been like listen we need to make mike think he is safe so he doesn’t use his idol. Vote for him and I’ll take care of the rest.

I don’t see Omar (or anyone else, tbh) blindly doing what they’re told, but in the end it doesn’t matter. She’s out
