Legends Temple Run Elimination Game: Worst Runs

[The Ancient Warrior]

There is no such word as "worser," TRJ.

Anywho, I'm getting rid of "The Lost Log Books of Magellan." I honestly didn't want this to outrank "The Secret Battle Plan of Nathan Hale," though... I mean, sure, both players fell into a fatal dead end, but would you really expect them to know better in Season 1? They even managed to make it one room away from the Log Books with what could have been enough time to grab it if not for the third Temple Guard, so...

The next to go is, "The Marble Armrest of Xerxes." I hate this temple run with a passion, and I thought Noelle and Pat were horrible contestants. But if I can say one positive thing, Noelle did signal back the half pendant to Pat. Not to mention, their layout was just impossible.

While "The Smashed Printing Plate of Frederick Douglass" may have been annoying with Dana's constant screaming, the team did make it pretty far in this run.  Plus, if they would have taken the Shrine-Dark Forest passage, they could have reached the artifact.  I deem it the next one to be eliminated.

Wow, this is getting hard now. Most of these remaining runs are either boring and forgettable or have really bad players/teams.

I am getting rid of The Stone Head of the Evil King next. Sure, the run is worst than some of the other runs on this list. But I think Heather and Tony were a much better team than the outcome of this run, and should've done better in the temple. Also, its bad enough that two snakes in Medusa's Lair was time consuming. Four snakes were just down right brutal for a young kid racing against the clock. I could see why Tony was getting frustrated from all the pressure. Although it shouldn't take 1 minute to complete an objective in the temple.

The next one eliminated is, "The Silver Cannonball of Grandy Nanny." The Orange Iguanas we a pretty slow and not very smart team. But the temple run wasn't particularly bad, it was just plain boring. Since there are still much worse runs left, I see no reason for it to be on the list anymore.

Allow me to officially kick off our top 10 by getting rid of "Elizabeth I's Golden Ship". This Temple Run was more short than bad: there was very little the team could have done other than find the half Pendant, but it was nowhere to be seen. It may be the quickest loss in history, but there are worse Temple Runs than this one.

Next to go is The Snow Cone of Mount Kilimanjaro. This is easily one of the worst season 3 runs in the temple. Neither Casey or Heather had any clue what they were doing in the temple. They did catch an unlucky break though in the Dark Forest, since the door to the Shrine was locked. That still doesn't excuse the team for wasting almost 40 seconds in the rooms when she could've plowed through the wall.

The next one to go is, "The Cracked Crown of the Spanish King." This temple run was more boring than it was bad. Josh hit temple guards way too early, and Kerry was slow as a rock. But there are still a lot worse still on the list.

In defense of "The Dried Apple Half of William Tell," the episode did feature one of the most complicated Temple Run configurations in the show's history.  I'm not sure how much further a good team could've gotten, so...

I had to give this vote some thought, but I think The Keys to the Alhambra should be the next one to go. I think this could be a contender for the worst temple run in Legends history, but that is mostly due to Lisa's stupidity. Steve actually was a good contestant (first season wise), it wasn't his fault Lisa had no idea what she was doing. Although in defense of Lisa, I don't blame her for getting confused in the Tomb of the Ancient Kings. She did try to use the key to try and go upstairs, but all the doors in the Tomb were already open when she first entered the room, adding to her confusion. However, she did not have to run all the way back to the entrance though and should've tried to go up from another room like the Spider's Lair or Throne Room.

The #5 spot goes to, "The Lost Lion Tail of Little John." This was easily one of the worst, if not the worst temple run of Season 2. But Marie wasn't too bad, her only problem was dropping the rocks in the Rock Quarry. Claude on the other hand, he was pretty slow and clueless. He's the real reason this team lost. Besides, I'll take this run over the remaining 4 runs any day.

Since the exams are over, I can finally use the laptop and the No. 4 spot goes to The Bifocal Monocle of One-Eyed Jack. I know this is one of the crappiest Season 3 runs, but at least the players had a sense of what to do in the rooms, unlike the players in the other three runs.

Third place goes to "John Henry's Lost Hammer". Granted, this run was absolutely pitiful: Kim couldn't climb or hit actuators to save her life, and Billy didn't have enough time to make up for her stupidity and lack of talent.  However, the team did make significantly more progress than the teams from the other two runs, and that's why I feel this run is just slightly more watchable than they are.

In defense of "Blackbeard's Treasure Map," Sabrina did make it a bit further and covered one more room than BOTH players in "The Golden Cricket Cage of Khan," and this included backtracking from what may have been a dead end anyway.  She also cleared at least one actual objective where the Cricket Cage team didn't, so even though both runs were horrible, I think we know which one was the worst in the show's history.

Yeah, I knew "Cricket Cage" was gonna be the worst run ever. And I agree with all the Top 4 positions too. Even though it was obvious who would win, I still wanted to see where the others ranked. And I guess that's it with the elimination games, because I have no other ideas.
