| Appearance(s) | India |
The Viper Idol was a major twist featured in Survivor: India . This is it's only appearance in KidA's Survivor: Series so far.
Mechanics[]
The Viper Idol holds all the same properties as a regular Hidden Immunity Idol, in that it reflects any votes for a player when it is used. However, once the Viper Idol has been played, and someone is voted out of the game, the player of the Viper Idol selects a different player to receive votes at the next tribal council he/she attends, essentially "poisoning" them. These votes (dubbed "Viper Votes") run out after two tribal councils, and do not go past the final five tribal council under any circumstances.
Restrictions[]
The Viper Idol's poisoning ability is only valid if a vote is cast against the player, however, a self-vote does not count. This means that somebody has to vote against the player of the Viper Idol in order for the twist to be effective.
