You probably don't think its a good win because it was a season one run and is not on par with other highly praised wins like "Apanuugpak" and "Pirate Captain". But maybe you should look at this run from Damian and Jennifer's perspective. They were one of the earliest teams on a show that they probably had no idea how it worked. No one was familiar with that show at that time, not even Kirk or the production team. Just look at how terrible all those early season one runs are because those contestants had no clue how the temple worked. But Damian and Jennifer were both fast given the circumstance they faced. Damian was very fast in his little time in the temple and Jennifer moved just as fast. Sure, she kind of struggled in the Shrine and completed the Torch Room objective for no reason. But Jarrid ran into the Secret Password with less than a half pendant and Ty completes the Viper's Nest for no reason also, but no one seems to point those events out. At least the highly praised season two and three wins had past seasons to look at in order to get familiar with the show. Put Zac, Gator, or Jarrid in Damian and Jennifer's shoes and I bet they would not be as amazing as they were in their respective episodes. Likewise, Jennifer and Damian could probably have won in later season layouts. They were a strong team in the whole episode and I could argue that Jennifer was one of the better girls on the show if we take the whole episode into account. Everyone seems to think you have to be Gator or Zac in order to be a good team, which is why contestants like Missy are always given a hard time.
But I am not expecting to change your opinion at all. At the end of the day, its just a game and it isn't going to change my views on this run. A lot of people love this win too and its not just me and PPF. But the run is gone now so it can't be brought back.
BTW, I am not mad at you or anything. I just wanted to share my views on why I don't think its an overrated run. But I don't want to drag it on for to long so I can accept that its gone now.
Moving on, I am getting rid of "The Metal Beard of the Egyptian Queen". It was a good Purple Parrot effort and TJ + Randy moved fast, but Randy's exit plan could've been better instead of trying to enter every room. Its hard to compare this to the other runs left, but I think the other runs have something going for them.
