The Odd Necklace is a twist that first appeared in the second generation during Survivor: Brazil, and returned nine seasons later for Survivor: Friends vs. Favorites. The twist adds a new Individual Immunity necklace into the game - one which is used and played differently to the normal one.
Overview[]
The Odd Necklace guarantees the possessor safety from the next Tribal Council their tribe goes to. The identity of the holder is not revealed until just before the votes are read, voiding any votes against that person much like a Hidden Immunity Idol. Once someone has used the Odd Necklace at Tribal Council, they can give the necklace to a member of the other tribe or keep it for a second Tribal Council. If they chose to keep it for a second Tribal, as a consequence, they will not be able to vote at that Tribal Council. The Odd Necklace cannot be held by the same player for more than two consecutive Tribal Councils they attend and a player cannot give the Necklace back to the person who gave it to them. You also cannot give the necklace to someone who has been offline for one day or more, because it is possible they would not be able to do anything with it after use since they have gone inactive.
Owning History[]
