(the camera zooms in on an ancient lush jungle, the palms are moving away as an elephant is heard. all the palms are gone, showing Olmec)

Olmec: Legends of the Hidden Temple: Wild Jungle

(The camera shifts to the temple and its rooms)

Olmec: With your guide, Kirk Fogg! And here he is now.

(Kirk is seen coming down the steps of the temple)

Kirk: Thank you, thank you! It's nice to see you! Thank you, Olmec. Welcome to the Hidden Temple. The rooms are filled with lost treasures that are protected by mysterious Mayan Temple Guards. Only Olmec knows the legend behind each of the treasures in his temple. Which one are we going to hear about today?

Olmec: The legend of Richard Grenville's Stolen Plans.

Kirk: Ah, the legend of Richard Grenville's Stolen Plans. Well, the legend is set and one of these six teams will have the chance to retrieve the plans. Will it be The Red Jaguars? The Blue Barracudas? The Green Monkeys? The Orange Iguanas? The Purple Parrots? Or the Silver Snakes? They?re going to have to pass some tough mental and physical tests, and in the end, only one team will have the right to enter Olmec?s temple, but first they have to cross the moat, and here's how they're gonna have to do it today.

Before you lies an ancient bridge that is stripped. There is a rope above and one below. When I say go, one player from each team will hang from the top rope and walk across the bottom one. When a aprtner drops, he must go back and try again. When the second partner reaches the other side, he must get down and run over here and hit the gong! (Kirk hits the Red Jaguars' gong). The first four teams to hit their gong will go on to the Steps of Knowledge! Are you ready?

Teams: Yeah!

Kirk: Are you ready Olmec?

Olmec: Let's get rockin'!

Kirk: Teams, On your marks, get set... GO!

(Event occurs)

Kirk: Stop right there -  we have our four teams! Going on to the Steps of Knowledge are the Red Jaguars, the Blue Barracudas, the Orange Iguanas, and the Silver Snakes! Green Monkeys and Purple Parrots did a great job. We got a nice gift for them, and here's what it is.

(Prizes are announced)

[The Bamboo Forest]

Kirk: As the quest continues, it?s now time for Olmec to tell us about the legend of the Richard's Grenville's Stolen Plans. But pay close attention because your knowledge of the legend can bring you a step closer to the temple.

Olmec: Sir Richard Grenville was an Elizabethan sailor, explorer, and soldier. He was the grandfather of Sir Richard Grenville, of English Civil War notoriety. In pursuit of his military career, Grenville fought against the Turks in Hungary in 1566. In 1569, he arrived in Ireland with  to arrange for the settlement of lands in the barony of Kerricurrihy, which had been mortgaged to St Leger by the Earl of Desmond. At about this time, Grenville also seized lands at TractSir Warham St Legeron, to the west of Cork harbour, for colonisation, after Sir Peter Carew had asserted his claim to lands in south Leinster. St Leger settled nearby, and Humphrey Gilbert pushed westward from Idrone along the Blackwater. All of these efforts to take land in the south of Ireland led to bitter disputes, which escalated into the first of the Desmond rebelllions, led by James Fitzmaurice Fitzgerald. He was a great hero. But legend has it, he had planned carefully on paper how he had wanted to circumnavigate the world! Unfortunetely, Sir Francis Drake took the job away from Grenville. Legend has it, he was so angry, that he threw his plans into the river. Soon, it ended up in the temple. Your quest is to retrive the plans and bring them back here.

Kirk: Thank you, Olmec. But tell us, where are the plans?

(Camera shows the plans, and zooms out to show its location)

Olmec: Richard Grenville's Stolen Plans can be found in The Viper's Nest.

Kirk: Alright, eams, you are standing on the Steps of Knowledge. In a minute, Olmec will ask you a question about the legend you just heard. If you think you know the answer, stomp down on the ancient marking in front of you. Go ahead, stomp on it!

(Silver Snakes stomp in first)

Kirk: Okay, Snakes. If you're right, move down one step, but if you're wrong and run out of time, you'll have to give another team a chance to answer. The first two teams that make it to the bottom step will go on to the next round. Olmec, we're ready for your first question.

Olmec: Which of these are not one of Richard Grenvilles jobs? An explorer, a soldier, or a mapmaker

(The Orange Iguanas ring in.)

You do realize it's been Red-Orange at the Temple Games for each of the first three episodes, right? (Just sayin')

[The Bamboo Forest]

(Pendant Splits)

Kirk: Welcome back to Legends! Now the glory goes to the fastest and the strongest. But before we get started, let?s get to know our team players. On the Red Jaguars, we have Jon. He likes running and he plays wants to be a football player. And his partner Penny likes reading and pop music. Let's hear it for the Red Jaguars!

(Applause)

Kirk: And on the Orange Iguanas we have Bob. He likes soccer and wants to play on a proffesional team. And his partner Emma likes writing and wants to be an author. Let's hear it for the Orange Iguanas!

(Applause)

Kirk: Okay teams, go set up for your games, and I?ll tell you what?s going to happen. In the temple games, teams are competing to win Pendants of Life. (Kirk holds up a pendant)They need those pendants to protect themselves from the dreaded temple guards as they make their way through the temple. There are three temple games. And here's temple game number one!

Going on voyages are hard things to do and you need preparations before one. A hard one is funding a voyage and it costs a lot of money. Now, when I say go, run here on this trampoline and jump up onto this web here, and smash the lid of the compartment to take a coin out. Then run back and drop it in your bin. The team that has the most coins at the end of sixty seconds win!

Alright, we need to fund a voyage! Let's put sixty seconds on the clock!

(Clock bangs down)

Kirk: On your marks, get set, go!

(Event Occurs)

Kirk: Well, the time is up! Let's check it out over here. The Orange Iguanas got six pieces of gold. The Red Jaguars got seven, the Red Jaguars get the half pendant of life! The next game is also worth a half pendant. Let's check it out!

Richard Grenville fought may people in battles. Before you stand four statues. When I say go, put a cannonball in your slingshot. Then shoot it at the statues. The first player to knock all four over, or the team that's further along at the end of sixty seconds wins!

Some crew members will be gone! Let's put sixty seconds on the clock!

(Clock bangs down)

Kirk: On your marks, get set, SHOOT!

(Event Occurs)

Kirk: Okay, the Red managed to get all four statues down, so that gives the Red Jaguars the half pendant! The final game will give you a full pendant and so let's check it out!

Repairing a ship is hard work. Now you need to repair a ship, too. When i say 'go', run out and grab a sail without getting hit by the pendulum and put it in your bin. Then your partner will do the same. The first team to get all their sails, or the team that is further along at the end of sixty seconds wins!

Let's put sixty seconds on the clock. On your marks, get set, GO!!

(Event Occurs)

Kirk: Okay, looks like the Orange Iguanas got the sails back first! They get the full pendant and so the Orange Iguanas are going to the temple! Red Jaguars, come on, come over here. You did a great job and you're not goin' away empty handed. We've got a nice gift for both of you and here it is.

(Prizes are announced)

Kirk: The Orange Iguanas made it all through. The Orange Iguanas are going to the temple and are goin' to retrieve the plans, right after this!

(Pendant joins)

(Comercial Break)

[The Bamboo Forest]

(Pendant Splits)

Kirk: Welcome back to Legends. The Orange Iguanas have proven themselves worthy, and now have earned the right to enter Olmec's Temple. But before we get started, Olmec will give us some information on how to retrieve Richard Grenville's plans.

Olmec: You could start by running through the Mining Chamber and climbing down into the Pit of Despair. Crawl through the pit, then race into the Chameleon Chamber. Change the color of the right chameleon and you could choose to go up the Lion's Lair, or into the Tropical Forest. If you escape, you may have a chance to enter the Sacred Safari. Find the right key to go upstairs, or plough through the wall and into the Lion Cage. Ride the cage up into the Viper's Nest and pull the snakes from the jars to open the doors to the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. Assemble the statue and you may be headed for the Vine Drop. Next, race up to the Mouth of the Jaguar. Put the fangs in the mouth and jump back into the Pit. Pass through the Room of the Three Gargoyles, race down the stairs and back through the temple gates. The choices are yours and yours alone. Good luck.

Kirk: Okay, you guys won two pendants in the temple games, and here they are. Now, who's going first?

Emma: I am!

Kirk: Alright, when I say go, you will race through the gates into the temple and make your way to the plans. But be careful because the Temple has many locked doors and dead ends. Also hidden in the Temple there are also Temple Guards assigned to protect three specific rooms. If you enter one of those rooms, a Temple Guard will jump out and capture you. You can trade your Pendant for an extra life and go on, but if you're caught without a Pendant, you'll be taken out of the Temple? and it'll be Bob's turn to enter and try his luck. If you can reach the plans, all the doors of the Temple will instantly unlock, and the Temple Guards will vanish. You?ll have three minutes, and for your efforts you will both be handsomely rewarded? and here's how!

(Prizes announced)

Kirk: Emma, let's get in position! Put your mouthpieces in 'cause you never know when you're gonna run. Let's set the clock for three minutes....

(Clock bangs down)

Kirk: On your marks, get set, GOO!!!

(Emma races right into the Mining Chamber and she is greeted by a temple guard.)

(She enters the Pit of Despair and there is about 2:52 left on the clock)

(The third door to the Chameleon Chamber opens with 2:44 left)

(The fourth chameleon opens the doors with 2:30 left)

(Emma heads into the Forest but is taken out.)

(Bob retraces his parter's steps and reaches the Tropical Forest with 1:56 left.)

(Bob enters the Sacred Safari, then bashes the stone wall with 1:41 left.)

(Bob rides up the Lion's Cage to the Viper's Nest with 1:27 left.)

(He grabs the artifact with 1:24 left and Kirk shouts, "He's got it! He's got it!)

(Bob races along the top floor, jumps to the Pit and races out through the Mining Chamber with 31 seconds left!)

Kirk: He made it! He made it! Can you believe it? He made it! They got it all folks, they did it! We gotta get out of here, I don't wanna, but we've gotta. Check us out next time for another great Legend of the Hidden Temple: Wild Jungle style! Buh-bye!

(Credits scroll as the camera pans to the pots of the Viper's Nest, then to the slowly descending Lion's Cage)

Olmec: Hmmmmmm....

Summary:

Straightforward layout + fairly fast players = easy win. Though both Emma and Bob were quick in moving and didn't waste time, this win was pretty much handed to them. Emma started off in the Mining Chamber, where she immediately met a Temple Guard. She then proceeded along the bottom floor until she was taken out in the Tropical Forest. Bob retraced her steps and continued along, breaking down the wall into the Lion Cage and riding the elevator up to grab the Stolen Plans with slightly under 90 seconds to go and took the top floor out of the Temple.
