Agree/Disagree/No Opinion

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Disagree. They would've won if Jim had gone in first.

Katie should've gone in first in the Mystical Spellbook temple run.

[The Red Jaguars]

Definitely agree. Katie was faster and smarter than Jared. I doubt she would've made the same mistake as Jared did with the Dark Forest. She would've been removed one room away, but Jared was also a fast runner and there is no excuse for him to detour to the Dark Forest as a second runner. They would've reached the Spellbook for sure, but I don't think they would've won because the layout was brutal.

Hallie and Jared would've won if they went into the King's Storeroom during the Useless Map run.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Definitely agree. Shame on Hallie though for taking a direct path.

The Good Luck Watch run would've been a win if Janeen hadn't been such a slowpoke.

[The Red Jaguars]

Totally agree. Jay almost pulled the win off even though Janeen only left him with less than a 1:30 left on the clock. She wasted way too much time for her own good. At least the temple run was very exciting though.

Every episode has at least one thing redeemable about them.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Disagree. Some episodes are just way too painful to watch. *coughAlhambracough*

The Secret Battle Plan "pots theory" is a load of crap and not believable at all.

[The Red Jaguars]

I agree to an extent. I think making it out to be the only reason the Nathan Hale run was postponed is pushing it too far when other reasons (time constraints, Christina puking) are valid too. But I like it better than some of outer space's shit theories like Metal Beard's temple run being on a different day. At least it had some thought put into it. I mean why did the pots change between the Butch Cassidy and Golden Stallion run? And why were there two keys in Golden Stallion's run? But it should not be seen as the main reason Nathan Hale's run was postponed.

Bent Shaving Pan's team got shafted by the one room away guard.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Disagree. Irish and Brian were terrible players and deserved to lose for their incompetence. I can't believe people actually like that team.

Freydis is by far a better temple run than Buddha.

[The Red Jaguars]

Definitely agree. Buddha was one of those wins that never flew under my radar until people praised it unnecessarily. I don't hate this win, but I don't think Jennifer is the "best girl ever". She is not even the best Barracuda girl from Season 1. Her run was so boring too. Freydis trumps it in every single way. 

Some Season 1 contestants would perform just fine in the later Season temple.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Sort of agree. It just depends on what player(s) we're talking about here. Players like Lea, Jennifer (John Sutter), David (Lawrence of Arabia), would do just fine in a later season temple. Players like Bobby, Mitchell, and the Silk Ladder team however, would get eaten alive.

Lawrence of Arabia is the best Season 1 episode ever, and trumps every other episode and win that season.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Bump, since all the other threads have been bumped.

[The Red Jaguars]

I agree to a certain extent. Lawrence of Arabia is my second favorite episode on the whole show, but episodes like Lost Gold Mine and Galileo come very close. I think Lost Gold Mine's round were slightly more exciting than Lawrence of Arabia. But Lawrence of Arabia was very exciting and it literally kept me at the edge of my seat. David was awesome. 

More players should've had cool nicknames similar to Jammin John. 

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Disagree. It would just be too tacky.

The Lost Hornpipe of the Pirate Captain is the best episode of Season 3.

[The Red Jaguars]

Definitely agree! It use to be Mussel-Shell Armor for me, but over time I came to love Pirate Captain more. It featured two great teams throughout the episode and the temple run was one of the best. I can't believe all the criticism that Jarrid gets in this run either. Lucky break or not, he was a beast as well as Jessica. 

Jennifer and Damian would've won the Lucky Pig layout.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Definitely agree. They would've done MUCH better than Kristen even if they did face the same temple guard placement.

The Golden Pepperoni temple run is not as bad as people make it out to be.

[The Red Jaguars]

Definitely agree. People blow this run way out of proportion. Even back in the day, people on THIS forum would treat it like was some choke job or something. Aqila passing up the Pepperoni was pretty shameful, but it was only the last 3 seconds of the run that were bad. Other than that, she did an average job in every other temple room. It certainly can't be as bad as Enormous Feather or Charles Lindbergh where the second runners blew their loads the second they entered the temple. And don't get me started with Youtube comments either.

Bandit Queen wouldn't have been a win if Miriam wasn't removed from the Dark Forest.
