Special note: Normally, this is a simple list of who found the most idols. But Myles found three, yet played four (thanks to an idol-steal advantage). In contrast, David found four, but only played three. Who's #1? (Or could it be Shonee, who found four and played two?) The 4/3 pair seemed like reasonable co-leaders.
Hidden idol finding notes:
This should be a fairly straightforward list (see also the idol-specific glossary below), but a few notes:
- Players are ranked by idols found, then by idols held, then by idols played, then by votes voided.
- We only listed people who actually played their idols. Sorry, Hantz. Doubly sorry, BvB Simon.
Glossary:
- IF: Idols found. In cases where multiple people find an idol together (Nicaragua, Caramoan, etc.), the person who keeps it gets credit for finding it.
- IH: Idols held. Generally only relevant if someone is given an idol by someone else (such as Phoebe from Rohan in AU1: 2016).
- IP: Idols played. The credit for playing (and voiding votes) should generally go to the person who comes up with the plan for the idol play (as long as they have one). If they change the plan once they obtain the idol by whatever means (gift, etc.), then credit shifts to them for their new plan. (As long as the transfer takes place at Tribal: if the idol is handed over in camp, it's generally credited to the person who plays it, such as Tessa playing Tarzan's idol in 2017.)
- VV: Votes voided. When an idol is played, the number of votes against eliminated by the idol.
