Survivor is a show that is ever-changing, with twists, immunity idols, and advantages constantly in play―I mean, Cirie Fields was eliminated from Survivor: Game Changers because she was the only one at that tribal council without an advantage. It can get pretty hard to keep up with it all, but a fan's Twitter suggestion might just make things easier for you.

On March 14, Twitter user @Lynne_13, a self-proclaimed lover of "TV and cats," asked Survivor host Jeff Probst if viewers could "get an idol icon next to the lower third of players currently in possession of an idol?"

About two hours later, Probst tweeted Lynne back, thanking her for her "great idea." A little over a week later, Probst again thanked Lynne, adding that her idea would start to appear in upcoming episodes of Survivor: Edge of Extinction, and that she had all the bragging rights.

Fans were instantly appreciative of the new detail. One Twitter user said, "Thank you for implementing! I noticed it tonight, and it was such a great idea from another fan!,"

Another user called it a "gamechanger!"

While most fans loved the new graphic, some found the sentence of text to be a bit too much.

Survivor fan @fyfey23 suggested using a smaller picture of an idol instead of the longer block of text, which also seems like a great idea.

It's pretty great to know that Probst and the Survivor producers listen to fan suggestions, and who knows what new detail could pop up on our screens next.
