Comparison:

The Snakeskin Boots of Billy the Kid	The Mussel Shell Armor of Apanuugpak
Tony & Kelly	Gator & Amanda
2 Pendants won (W-W-T)	2 Pendants won (W-W-T)
Won! (0:05 left!)	Won! (0:10 left!)
7 Rooms Entered	9 Rooms Entered
TG: The Crypt, The Laser Light Room	TG: The Tomb of Headless Kings, The Dark Forest, The Shrine of the Silver Monkey
A: The Shrine of the Silver Monkey	A: The Chamber of Sacred Markers

Analysis: I will go with Apanuugpak on this. Simply put, Gator dominated the entire episode and the run was simply amazing. You can watch this over and over and never get sick of it, even when it was on the 20 episode cycle. Gator had the speed and skill to be the best. Snakeskin Boots was great too with the PP Pwnage, but Apanuugpak is better.

I went with BTK.

Gator was great in his temple game and was fast in the temple. Put Gator in first and he's just a fast guy who gets taken out of the temple in his fourth room and this episode becomes remarkably less memorable. They may not have even won.

I honestly chose Billy the Kid over Apanuugpak too. I don't know why, but Apanuugpak never pulled me in like Billy the Kid did for me. Don't get me wrong, Apanuugpak is a GREAT episode. But like Brent said, it wasn't as memorable to me as Purple Parrot Pwnage. I know that Gator was the star of this episode, but the earlier rounds weren't very memorable to me. The temple win was great though and I can't deny that Gator was the best player on the show.  But at the end of the day, Billy the Kid is more memorable to me. I like the PP Pwnage storyline and I found myself rooting for Kelly and Tony when I first watched it. Apanuugpak is a great episode, but the episode was never really in my top 10. Billy the Kid is on the other hand.

Go Purple Parrot Pwnage!

I smell an upset!!!!!

Apanuugpak is truly the better episode, so it gets my vote.

[GreenMonkeys#1]

Even though I have Apanuugpak, I smell a Cinderella story for BTK. 

[The Viper]

Voted Apanuugpak. Apanuugpak was more memorable, being a central shaft win, but Billy the Kid is pretty forgettable for me.

Moving on to the Final 4 is...

THE MUSSEL SHELL ARMOR OF APANUUGPAK

And Apanuugpak proves you don't have to be first in everything to be the best. Congrats to Gator & Amanda as they bring Apanuugpak closer to the Golden Olmec and the title of Greatest Legends Episode ever. 

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Yes I voted for Apanuugpak. I just felt like it deserved it more than Billy the Kid. But the latter episode had a good run. Nice to see that PP Pwnage lasted as long as it did.

I knew Mussel-Shell Armor would win. It is a great episode even though it is not in my personal top 10. That is because Gator owned everything. I still love this episode though and it did get the best ranking in my Legends Episode Ranking Thread. So I am not disappointed to see it advance.
