Interesting Photos from Various Episodes

[The Red Jaguars]

I just checked, and nicklegends site it back! Awesome! And you are right, "Golden Pepperoni" was the first episode produced that day and the second temple run of the day. "The Secret Battle Plan of Nathan Hale" was first while "Charles Lindbergh" was the final episode that day.

What's interesting is that during the "Nathan Hale" run, the team was forced to swing across the Pit and never had any contact with the ball pit at the bottom. The "Golden Pepperoni" was the first team of that production day to go down in the Pit. So whatever was the cause for the crew member being there either had to do with his job or something that happened during that run. I've been searching over archived threads on this site, and some people believe that this is evidence that Aqila was the mysterious person who had the "mishap" as described by Kirk Fogg in interview. Personally, I don't think that the crew member being in the Pit had anything to do with the players in this run, since he seems to be using either a camera or a lighting device to focus in on objects lining the Pit (possibly for segues to commercials or other shots to scatter throughout the episode?).

By the way, I have the same photo as one that was previously posted, but the outlining on the one posted covered part of the crew member, so I've uploaded mine below (photo courtesy of video posted by OlmecFan25 on youtube.com):

I think that has something to do with a player throwing up in the pit. I always thought it was either Christina from the Nathan Hale run or Tarrah from the Milk Bucket run that supposedly upchucked, not Aqila.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it wasn't Aqila. Even though there was some sloppy editing when she was going back for the half pendant. But it was probably just that, some bad editing.

Yeah, people have theorized that it was either Christina or Tarrah that puked in the Pit according to Kirk's interview. People even claim that the "Nathan Hale" run was postponed because of that particular reason. However, I don't think it was her that puked in the Pit. As PP4L mentioned, the team didn't even enter the lower part of the Pit at all during the run. As for the reason why the temple run was postponed is a mystery, but "Belshazzar" was also postponed to and both episodes were on the first production day of their respective seasons, so it shouldn't be too hard to see why her run was postponed.

I do agree that it could've been Tarrah though. I mean we get that weird shot of her in the Pit when she is about to enter the Tomb of the Headless Kings and she turns towards the camera for a moment. And then in the next shot, she is in the crawl space entering the room. I remember someone said that Tarrah jumped over the Pit was due to her not wanting to jump into her barf. But I think that is thinking way too much about it.

Tomb of the Headless Kings? You mean the Ledges?

[The Red Jaguars]

I actually meant the Laser Light Room.

Others have theorized the different colored pots in the King's Storeroom between "Silver Horseshoe" and "Ali Baba's" temple runs. And there was some sort of production error behind that. But, that's another story....

Yeah, that's possible, and that's what everyone else theorized. But I agree, jumping just to avoid the spot she puked in is thinking way too much into it. I know some people are emetphobic (sp?), but that doesn't mean that alone was the reason Tarrah jumped across the Pit.

To keep this on topic, I'll see if I can find some other camera guys seen during the temple run.

I don't seem to follow the logic behind the "changing colors of the pots in the King's Storeroom" idea.




I have photos of the King's Storeroom from Episodes 41 (Silver Horseshoe), 42 (Secret Battle Plan), and 43 (Golden Stallion), courtesy video posted by OlmecFan25 on youtube.com. I understand that the pots changed in each episode, as shown in the series of photos, even going from Episode 41 to 42 when they did not smash any pots during that episode. But what does that have to do with Christina possibly being the person who may have gotten ill? It is clear that Episode 42 was taped during a later layout of the season, so of course, they would have different pots by the time that new filming day came around.

[The Silver Monkey]

There's a theory that the Battle Plan kids initially had their run the same day as the rest of the episode, but there was no key hidden in any of the pots when the Snakes smashed them, so they were given a second chance later.

[PurpleParrot4Life]

Okay, that makes sense. But I don't see how that in any way would correlate to Christina possibly being the person who got ill...

[The Red Jaguars]

Where did the key theory come from for the "Nathan Hale" run? I never heard it before. Does it have something to do with there being two keys in the "Grandy Nanny" temple run?

And one more thing that I am sure that most know about this, but the Secret Battle Plan was originally supposed to be located in the Throne Room. During the temple games, you can see it sitting on the Throne in the back. Plus, when Olmec reveals the location of the Battle Plan, we never see it in the Shrine.

[Asian Legends Fan]

Okay, that makes sense. But I don't see how that in any way would correlate to Christina possibly being the person who got ill...

I really don't see Christina as a likely candidate either. Mainly because Kirk Fogg stated in the interview where we found out that a female contestant once got ill in the Pit was allowed to stop and take a rest, but then had to immediately carry on. The interviewers expressed shock that the girl had to keep going, if anyone remembers.

Now if an incident like the door stuck shut in the War Fan episode which was a lot more the crew's fault than the contestants' in the sense that the door shouldn't have been faulty did not warrant a complete redo; why on earth would Christina, had she thrown up from no fault of the crew, be allowed to finish the entire run only for the run to be rejected and for the team to get a second chance for free? That just doesn't make any sense to me.

I think they have different Pots from every episode in The King's Storeroom

I don't know if this is true or not. I always thought that if the teams did not enter the King's Storeroom at all during the temple run, then they used the pots again in the next run? I thought the "Billy the Kid" and "Nathan Hale" temple run had the exact same pots in the King's Storeroom?
