Didn't feel like doing summaries yesterday. I feel better about not doing summaries since like the worst temple run of season 3 was on (The Golden Spider Web).
Today:
The Applewood Amulet of Emiliano Zapata -
This episode is famous for many many things. To me, it was yet ANOTHER Purple Parrots tie breaker loss

on an easy layout. This episode could've been a Purple Parrots victory... However, I would not change this episode because the result was awesome. The entire episode was awesome. Anyways, Robert of the Green Monkeys goes in first. He's moving at a good speed. In Medusa's Lair, he meets a temple gaurd with a head cam. Then in the King's Storeroom his runs ends when another temple gaurd emerges. Olivia-Emma runs in. In the Pit she passes the OBVIOUS half-pendant (Thank God she didn't stop for a second and grab it... explained later). She wastes no time completing the objectives in the King's Storeroom or the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. That's all she had to do! She's in the room! She's looking around for the amulet. She finally grabs it and she's making he r way out of the temple. It's gonna be close. There's 10 seconds left when she enters the Ledges. The audience starts coutning down! They're going crazy! 3-2-1! SHE MADE IT!!! OMG!!!!! Closest victory the show has seen. It was so awesome. It still gives me chills! She would have lost if she took a second longer doing anything (even grabbing the hidden half pendant! *gasp*). Wow.... awesome.
The Golden Jaguar of Atahualpa (yeah, good luck on spelling that) -
Pretty good episode. Heavily editted moat. You can tell this because one second the first member of the Orange Iguanas is climing across the rope and in the next shot, the second Orange Iguana is almost across. The Steps of Knowledge were pretty average. It came down to the Blue Baracudas and the Purple Parrots (Wooo!). The temple games were good. The Purple Parrot boy was climbing that mountain so fast. And yes, this is the episode with that famous "You look a bit soapy!" Kirk quote after the second temple game. Well, the Parrots won the individual games and the Baracudas won the team game so it was a 1-1 tie. OF COURSE the Blue Baracudas won the tie breaker. Are you kidding me? How many times do we have to go over this? The Purple Parrots don't win ties breakers *frustration*. Anyways, Chris starts his temple run by running into the space between the Cave of Size and Olmec which led to the back of the temple. Whoops. He then corrects himself, goes through the Cave, through the Pit and intothe Throne Room. He goes up from there and meets a temple gaurd and a dead end in the Heart Room. He's forcedto go back down and through the Holes of Python. In the Tomb of the Ancient Kings, the door leading upwards does not open so he smashes through the wall and uses the ladder to climb into the Shrine. A temple gaurd was waiting for him there. Tracy runs in and she's not quite as fast as Chris but she's moving at an acceptable speed. However, she kinda slows down in the Holes of Python. She doesn't assemble the monkey that quickly either and time is really running short now. With about 4 seconds left, she runs into the Treasure Room and grabs the Jaguar but there wasn't enough time to get out.
NOTE: Was this the only time that an artifact was grabbed from that room space in season 1? I can't remember.
Also, i got bored so i decided to make a list of episodes in which the Purple Parrots lost tie breakers:
The Golden Jaguar of Atahualpa
The Lucky Pillow of Annie Taylor
The Applewood Amulet of Emiliano Zapata
The Silver Horseshoe of Butch Cassidy
The Levitating Dog Leash of Nostradamus
The Marble Armrest of Xerxes
The Lucky Medallion of Atocha? (I might be wrong about that one)
Well... look how many of those runs end in victory.
