Mirabella- It's such a tough thing having an idol that everyone knows about yet only the Ravenclaw idol has been played thus far. Are you a bigger threat than someone who has an idol that people don't know about? When's the right time to play your idol? Do you believe in love at first sight? Chances you don't play the Gryffindor idol tonight? Give us a percentage.

I don't think I'm going to be in anyone's good graces if I agree with you when you say it's a tough thing to have an idol. There's at least 8 people in this game who don't have an idol but wish they did. Se even though there are disadvantages that come with my idol being public, I'm not about to host myself a pity party. That said, unless Albus was an idol finding machine, there's a good chance that there are other players here who are secretly holding idols and that should really terrify people more than my public idol since they have the element of surprise. However, it's tough to neutralize those threats when you don't know who has found the idols, or even if they have been found. I would love to say that people should be sniffing out the other idols and targeting other people over me, but that's easier said than done.
The right time to play an idol is whenever you think you're going to get the most votes at a tribal. That could really be any round depending on circumstances - you just have to look at each vote separately and figure out what the threat is to you. This round, for instance, the person who has been publicly campaigning for people to vote for me is immune, so they have nothing to lose and I'm on the wrong side of the numbers by all appearances. I'm also getting the feeling that people are tentative about talking to me while I'm still holding this. The average player understandably doesn't want me to continue holding it as the game progresses and so they want me to feel uncomfortable every tribal that I go to, to increase the chances they can flush it out.
So its not feeling like the advantages of holding onto this much longer are clearly worth the risk of being sent home in the short term if I don't use it. I'd say there's about a 80% chance I'll use it and 20% chance I don't.
As for love at first sight, why don't you ask Hermione?
