I've seen enough Survivor to know that holding onto a public advantage of any kind can backfire on you pretty badly. Look at Stephen, look at Dan Foley. When I decided to bid on the idol, I knew I was probably going to use it as if it was just another individual immunity up for grabs, rather than an idol. Seeing that I didn't get any votes you may consider it a waste, but had I not played it I might have been on the receiving end of a few votes and I might have gone home a fool.
 * Bas - Last tribal council, you did play your public hidden immunity idol immediately. What was your thought process, that led you to do so?
