Cancellation Idol (Total Drama 60 Club)

The cancellation idol is a gameplay element from Total Drama 60 Club. It is hidden at the campground and aboard the plane during the 2 team stage. It is a small wooden doll on a string, that can be worn as a necklace or bracelet. Like the Chris Head, or immunity idol, it can be played at any elimination to save the holder, or anyone the holder chooses, from elimination, causing all votes against that player to be rendered null. Unlike the Immunity Idol, however, it is played after the votes are cast, but before they are read, meaning that the user does not know what the votes are before using the Cancellation Idol.

The cancellation idol is introduced in Bermuda Delta, by Alejandro, who notes that, unlike the immunity idol, the cancellation idol must be played after the votes are cast, but before they are read. Later in the episode, Mark finds the cancellation idol, and discusses with his alliance how to use it. This leads to Eva freaking out to put a target on herself, but Mark saves her using the cancellation idol, eliminating Kitty in a 0-4 vote.

In Square Pole Dancing, it is won by Sammy in the auction, but also sends Sammy to exile, rendering her immune but ineligible to vote or use the idol. It is not seen again until Idle Idol, when Sammy uses it to save herself from Bermuda Square voting her off, eliminating Sierra instead in a 0-1 vote. Mark then hides several fake cancellation idols to trick Sammy into finding them, "finding" one of his fake cancellation idols in 6th class and allowing Sammy to take it, before Heather hides a fake in a treasure chest in the challenge, which also ends up being given to Sammy. Sammy tries to play both, but they are both fakes, and Sammy is voted out in a 3-1 vote.

Trivia

 * The cancellation idol serves a very similar purpose to the Hidden Immunity Idol from Survivor.
 * Additionally, the rules in Survivor state that no one is allowed to steal the idol from the person who found it. It is legal to steal a cancellation idol in Total Drama, as Lindsay attempts to do so, and Sammy steals a fake. However, no one successfully steals a real cancellation idol.
 * There are multiple types of idols in Survivor. The cancellation idol most resembles the negating idol, which is played after the votes are cast, but before they are read.
 * Every contestant that has found or played the cancellation idol has been a member of Blue Square
 * The cancellation idol is the first instance of a contestant giving away immunity, when Mark plays his cancellation idol on Eva instead of himself.
