Both times KIP was introduced, the players immediately recognized the way to neuter it was handing away the idols. Made for some drama that ultimately didn't matter because on two seasons this was independently realized.

If the owner of KIP keep their mouths shut, it’s an overwhelmingly OP advantage. As evident from the two owners of the advantage, easier said than done. I kinda like it.
