Contestant Elimination: Boys' Temple Runs

[PhantomBPR]

So Gator is the champion. Didn't see that one coming, I felt Zac had it for sure. I'll leave this topic open for a little while longer in case anyone wants to tie up loose ends or such.

So now that the list is done, what would you guys agree & disagree on that list. I honestly thought Zac should have been higher and Joel too.

It's a tough call, but I think this'd be my personal Top 20:

#20 Quentin (The Red Sash of Tokugawa Ieyasu)
#19 Josh (The Mummified Hand of the Egyptian King)
#18 Shawn (The Trojan Horseshoe)
#17 T.J. (The Metal Beard of the Egyptian Queen)
#16 David (The Enormous Feather of the Mi Lingh)
#15 Jay (The Good-Luck Watch of Empress Eugenie)
#14 Nate (The Royal Torque of Queen Boadicea)
#13 Robert (The Snake Bracelet of Cleopatra)
#12 Jon (Galileo's Cannonball)
#11 Jarrid (The Lost Hornpipe of the Pirate Captain)
#10 Travis (The Discarded Seal of Ivan the Terrible)
#9 Kevin (The Ruby Earring of bin-Zibab)
#8 Jason (The Levitating Dog Leash of Nostradamus)
#7 Shane (The Very Tall Turban of Ahmad Baba)
#6 Joel (The Enormous Iron Nose Ring of Babe)
#5 David (Lawrence of Arabia's Headdress)
#4 Mitchell (The Moccasins of Geronimo)
#3 Zac Turney (The Secret Map of the Bandit Queen)
#2 Ty (The Lucky Medallion of Atocha)
#1 Gator (The Mussel Shell Armor of Apanuupak)

Personally I thought joel deserved the win because he was probably the fastest contest ever and he took the right path. He only made one mistake which is understandable. Personally i like runs where someone did a great job early on and it helped them out when they got caught in a jam later on.

I wouldn't've put him that high since most of the lower-floor rooms were "hit the actuator" and he took a long time on the monkey, I think about 30 seconds (I'll recheck the tape tomorrow if I think of it.)

Ledges was a crawling one, which he could've gotten lost in which he was stupid. Rock Quarry had an objective. Laser Light Room had an objective. Swamp was hit the actuator, but he had an amazing leap across from the entrance. Dark Forest was run into the wall, but he did avoid a Temple Guard. Mine Shaft was climb the ladder. I thought he was really good IMO, he should've been #1 IMO.

Quentin: Horrible IMO
Josh: Horrible IMO
Shawn: Higher IMO
TJ: Not that great IMO
David: Not that great IMO
Jay: Not that great IMO
Nate: Yeah I guess
Robert: Sure, need to see run again though
John: Higher IMO
Jarrid: Lower IMO
Travis: Lower IMO
Kevin: Lower IMO
Jason: Higher IMO
Shane: Good
Joel: Higher IMO
David: Higher IMO
Mitchell: Horrible IMO (the most tiring thing he had to do was spin a sundial (& assemble a monkey which was uncessary). Terrible IMO)
Zac: Yes
Ty: A tad lower IMO
Gator: A tad lower IMO

For me, I'd say:
#20 Quentin: He was okay, though #20 would be the right place for him
#19 Josh: I would have ranked him @ #25, he wasn't that great anyways
#18 Shawn: I would have ranked him lower too
#17 T.J. He's fine in the #17 position, nothing noteworthy about him
#16 David He's fine here.
#15 Jay Lower, he was fast but nothing special about him
#14 Nate Lower
#13 Robert He's fine @ #13
#12 Jon I'd rank him higher
#11 Jarrid He's fine in this spot
#10 Travis Maybe a little lower
#9 Kevin He's fine here
#8 Jason Lower...
#7 Shane Lower...
#6 Joel Maybe a little higher
#5 David A little lower
#4 Mitchell Lower, maybe just barely in the top 10
#3 Zac Turney I'd say he should have been #1, or maybe in 2nd place
#2 Ty Lower...
#1 Gator He's fine in this spot, even though I wanted Zac to win.

IMHO Mitchell was a good strategist (or whatever the word is,) I mean most Season 1 players would've tried the direct path but Mitchell took a route that was less likely to get him taken out.  Sure most of the rooms had "hit the actuator" objectives, but he made a good move avoiding the shortest path.
