I'd say the Cave Of Size/ledges were pointless. Most episodes where a player entered through that room a temple guard would be there, (and would really mess up the temple run if the team was caught by 3 temple guards). Plus, by Seasons 2 and 3 that room was rarely used.

Oh, it was used in Seasons 2 and 3, but only to snatch away a team's hope of winning if they tried exiting through that room, which they often did.

Forgot my honorable mention. The Room of the Harmonic Convergence. How many times did a player step on every possible note combo, and still couldn't get the door to open?

That wasn't inherently a bad room; however, the poor... how should one say... physical components crucial to the correct functionality of the room ruined its potential value.

Can you remind me about him? I'm having a brain blackout

Yeah, sure. He was a guy with a moustache (I'm not kidding) who, after either the first or the second temple game, did this absolutely stupid-looking pose to the camera, like a sarcastic ''Hee hee, it's me! I'm on TV, mom!'' sort of pose, waving his hands in small circles while doing so (if I remember correctly). It's tough to explain it without seeing the episode in front of me, but it was clear he had no intention of trying hard in the show. It really ruined the episode for me.

I called him an ''idiot'' in my summary of the episode out of disgust.

Is Chris Reynolds site the "lotht 2001" site?? 'Cuz if so, I have a lot of trouble getting to that site as well.

That's the one. Whenever I can access the site, it refreshes about three times a second, preventing me from clicking any links. Not sure why that happens. Didn't used to.

When I made my site, it wasn't really intended to be 'better,' so-to-speak, than Chris', but it has grown hugely in the last two years, to the point where some people have said it is. I'm not in a position to compare the two, though. :wink:

Yeah, NL's a pretty rad guy.

Hi there nicklegends, I love your site. I visit it everyday!

Thanks, you two.

Yeah, those two from the 'Cricket Cage' episode were the worst in my book.

Season 2 was definitely my favorite, only because of the variety in the rooms throughout it. It also had some memorable temple runs.

I would have picked Season 3 second, actually, because the theming and camerawork was especially well-done. It had a different amosphere around it, which was great. Unfortunately, the great setting was undersupported by the inconsistency in temple runs. It seemed like every run was either a 'Dried Apple Half of William Tell' or an 'Ivory Hunting Horn of Roland.' The temple games, especially that huge series of episodes with the boring rock-pushing game, could have also used some more variety.

Season 1 I just didn't like. It felt really unprofessional, and a large number of the temple runs were absolutely terrible ('Cricket Cage of Khan,' 'Blackbeard's Treasure Map,' 'Elizabeth the First's Golden Ship,' and the like). Luckily, we were spared those episodes in the latter seasons.

This seems to be a pretty interesting question in general: If you were on the show and you made it to the temple, would you go in first or send your partner in first, assuming he or she was an average player?

The thing is, there's a common philosophy that ''you should never send the slow-witted player in first,'' but there's also the fact that going into the temple first likely means that you will be taken out first as well, having traversed only three rooms.

I, personally, would go in second because I'd probably pass through more rooms. I'd tell my partner everything I know about the temple, and hope that she would agree to go in first. After she gets taken out, I'd act like Mr. Turney.

We're definitely doing well thus far. As long as the posts keep coming in, we'll be doing well.
