Legends Temple Run Elimination Game

[The Red Jaguars]

The first one second win to go will be The Applewood Amulet of Emiliano Zapata. Robert and Olivia-Emma were a good team that got stuck with a fairly moderate layout that involved some of the more season 2 time consuming rooms. But a couple of mistakes could've caused this run to end in a loss. Missing the obvious half-pendant and a few moments of hesitation almost ruined their chances for a win.

It's a new day here in Singapore, so I have a chance to vote, and I vote off Galileo's Cannonball. Sure it was exciting, but considering the simplicity of some of the rooms, I would expected a better timing. While it may be the first episode, and the fact that Jon was fast and used the Shrine/Shaft passage to get out quicker, it shouldn't have taken them almost all three minutes. I guess this means two consecutive one second wins are gone.

Well, it would if "Galileo's Cannonball" weren't actually completed with TWO seconds remaining, contrary to popular belief.

I'm having a tough time deciding at this point, but I think I'll get rid of "The Star of Sultan Saladin." Aside from putting the monkey together, Lea didn't actually have a ton of objectives on her path.  I have to give her credit for being the first player to retrieve an artifact from the central pillar and the first to record a solo victory, but looking over the list some more, there were better runs in both categories.

While we're getting rid of 1-2 second victories, I see no reason for "Lawrence of Arabia's Headdress" to be on this list anymore. It was exciting and everything, but there are way better episodes than this one.

Tough call, but next to go is "The Lion-Headed Bracelet of Chandragupta". Andrea was fast and all, but she hesitated a few times, like in the Room of the Ancient Warriors when the only Temple Guard she met captured her. Plus, she was pretty slow going down the Pharaoh's Secret Passage.

This is getting tricky now, but I think its time for The Secret Map of the Bandit Queen to go. It was one of the best wins on the show due to Zac's amazing speed, but Miriam almost killed their chances for a win by getting lost in the temple. If it weren't for the tree in the Dark Forest, this may have not won. Also, it wasn't exactly the hardest layout either.

The #10 spot goes to, "The Much-Heralded Helmet of Sir Gawain." Tiffani did a solid job, what with swinging back and knowing what to do in every room. But she did move pretty slow and she's lucky she didn't meet any temple guards. Plus, there are way better still on this list.

Eliminating the Nose Ring and Mocassins hurt me deep inside.

Let's just let the top 10 be one entity, and not have to eliminate any more. For the benefit of man.

If we can't "Belly Button of Buddha". Although a solo win, she was amazingly SLOW. Every room was done with no enthusiasm. If she had done ran the temple the same speed as she was running out, one of the best. But why is this one above Joel and Nose Ring? I'll never know.

Because Jennifer didn't pick the worst way out of the Temple and knew how to put together a Silver Monkey.

Planning in the Temple is important. If Joel didn't have the speed, he would end up exactly like Ron from "The Treasure of Anne Bonny." And if putting the Silver Monkey isn't a factor in deciding which player is good and which isn't, then why was the Shrine present in all three seasons? They didn't keep the Heart Room for three seasons, did they? The Shrine was kept because it was one of the most challenging rooms of the Temple. Legends is a test of physical AND mental abilities. It's not brawn over brain all the time.

Moccasins... haven't we been through this already? All Mitchell did was past through a bunch of hit-the-actuator rooms... plus, he tried to put together the monkey even though all the doors were open. And don't give me crap like "HE PLANND TEH PART WHERE HE W3NT DOWN THRU TEH TREASUUR CHEST ZOMG1111!1111!111" because it's far more likely that he opened the treasure chest simply because it was the only thing in that room and it just so happened that the door was unlocked that day.

If "The Belly Button of Buddha" is going, so is "John Sutter and the Map to the Lost Gold Mine." The players in that one weren't bad - they were probably up on-par with some other Temple Runs left in the game - but the only real objective they had to complete was the Shrine of the Silver Monkey, unlike many of the remaining runs.

Well, seeing as I've already argued "The Moccasins of Geronimo" to oblivion I'll just skip that part.

I think if "The Belly Button of Buddha" is gone, "The Milk Bucket of Freydís" should be knocked off as well.  Almost the exact same thing happened in both episodes— "Freydís" just happened to be a closer win with a couple more objectives involved.

The Jewel-Encrusted Egg of Catherine the Great. One of my all time favorite Red Jaguars runs and one of the best female contestants on the show. However, the rest of the runs on this lists are more memorable one way or another. But its still one of my favorite, if not, my most favorite Red Jaguar win.

I'm on TAW's side all the way regarding "Moccasins of Geronimo." I still say he planned the whole thing out just to dodge temple guards. I don't care how easy the layout was. I don't care if he did open the chest willy nilly. It was all in whatever strategy Mitchell planned. That's it, case closed. It's funny, this is the only thing TAW and I agree with. This is the only time I'm gonna take his side. Anyways back to the list. The #5 spot goes to, "The Lucky Medallion of Atocha." Ty was a solid player and knew what to do in every room. But pendant dropping aside, it really wasn't that exciting. In fact, the rest of the temple run was rather boring.

So why haven't we gotten rid of 'The Levitating Dog Leash of Nostradamus'? It wasn't that great IMO except for using the leash to grab the rope.

I'm hoping you all choose the right 2 to eliminate, because I'm very sure I can't wait that long to decide the winner. One of you would beat me to it.

Aggggh........

Please, everyone just stop! I am pulling my hair out with every pick at this point. 

Personally, I think that one/two person/people determining best of all time is too great a power for any one person/two people.

Would anyone disagree in starting a new thread, where we discuss these 3 episodes, pros/cons, cast votes, and as a message board community, decide the best of all time, and then post the best 3 here about a week later?

This may seem preposterous, but hey, if we don't, SOMEONE has got to go through THOSE 3.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Relax, it's just a game. I know it's a hard choice, but don't take it too seriously. This game would be boring if the choices were too obvious. If you don't like this game, then just don't play it, its simple. The thread stays open until the decision has been made. We are not starting a new topic, we are going to decide the winner in this thread. Sorry to sound rude, but I'm just being honest. You don't have to get so worked up just because the decisions are getting harder.

As far as my latest vote goes, #3 is going to be "The Mussel Shell Armor of Apanuugpak." Gator did a solid job and he's one of the best male players in the show's history. But I'm afraid Amanda was a little slow, and she hesitated a bit in the pit. Plus, Gator did all the work. He's the one that brought the artifact out.
