And someone clarify whats the deal with the immunity idols not won in competition? James has two of them? He can give them to whomever he wants and they can't be voted off?

James can give them to anyone he wants. What that means is that once the votes are cast, but prior to Jeff reading the votes, the person with an idol can choose to use it. If they do, and they were going to be voted off, the next highest vote getter is voted off.

So having an idol only guarantees you won't be voted off if you use it. That is the tricky part obviously, since if you use it when you aren't targeted it is a waste, but if you wait too long then you risk being voted off never having used the idol.

Spoiler ahead for people who don't watch the "Next week on Survivor" last 10 seconds of the show:
