For the first time in Survivor history were two Hidden Immunity Idols played for castaways who received no votes, thus wasting both idols.
Beginning with this episode, Survivors voted out of the tribe become part of the Jury.
With the merge, the new tribe was made aware of a new Hidden Immunity Idol near their camp that has special powers. This would go on to become known as the Super Idol, because it allowed the person who has it to play it after the votes are read, not before as has been the case with all Hidden Immunity Idols since the beginning of Season 14 Survivor: Fiji.
