Russell Hantz has apparently made an indelible mark on Survivor when it comes the handling of hidden Immunity Idols.

"Next season it will take more than just looking under a rock to find a hidden idol. I won't give away what we're doing, but in planning our creative for next season we coined a phrase, 'The Russell Factor' and it influenced how we will play the hidden idol next season."
Hantz used the hidden Immunity Idols he found during Survivor: Samoa, which aired last fall, to make it all the way to the final Tribal Council -- where he eventually lost to his ally Natalie White.
At one point, he was even able to find an idol without a clue.
Hantz carried his ability to locate the competition's hidden idols with him onto Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains, causing him to proclaim that he's the "king" of them during last week's episode.
"I'd have to agree," wrote Probst.
