Legends Temple Run Elimination Thread - Season 1

[Purple Parrots Fan]

The #12 spot goes to "The Snake Bracelet of Cleopatra." It's a good effort by the Silver Snakes, but the win is just not that exciting. Robert was a solid player, but Tracy was just "good" at best. There are better runs than this one still on the list.

#12: The Snake Bracelet of Cleopatra
#13: The Golden Jaguar of Atahualpa
#14: Pecos Bill's Lost Lariat

I'm giving the 11th spot to The Helmet of Genghis Khan. Another win that was nothing special. Both players were average at best and they got stuck with an easy layout. At least it's better than some wins.

Time for "The Belly Button of Buddha" to go. The win was decent, but it was boring and hard to watch due to how slow Jennifer was moving. Also, she got lucky with her temple layout, and if she encountered another temple guard before the Treasure Room, then this might've not been a win in the first place. It was a decent win, but I like these runs better.

I think it's time "The Dragon Lady and the Blue Pearl" left. After all, Albert really did cause the team victory.

"The Medal of Sir Edmund Hillary" takes the #8 spot. While it was a great effort by both players, Tara did have a bad exit strategy. Besides, the other 7 remaining were better runs.

Wow, I want to eliminate two runs, but I can't. It's either going to be The Trojan Horseshoe or Henry VIII's Great Seal. I never thought these two would make it THIS far, but one of them is going.

It's going to be Henry VIII's Great Seal. While it was a solid loss, it's still a loss while Trojan Horseshoe was a win (even if it was an easy win). Both runs were pretty good, but I think Trojan Horseshoe was just slightly better. Therefore, I'm giving 7th place to Henry VIII's Great Seal. Both players were good, but they just had a crappy outcome (and a funny ending too).

This is a hard decision, and I feel three different runs could finish at spot #6. But I am going to take out "The Pendant of Kamehameha". While it is one of my favorite losses on the show, Tina was kind of responsible for this run ending this way in a indirect kind of way. By entering the Gargoyle Room, she ensured that this run would end in triple capture. Had she not entered that room, then this run would've have been a more heartbreaking loss. To keep it short, the triple capture outcome was kind of expected with the path she took. And at the end of the day, this run still has a bad outcome while the remaining runs have better outcomes.

The #5 spot goes to "The Trojan Horseshoe." While it was a win, it's not as exciting as the other 4 runs remaining.

I'm going to give this run 4th place because of how I ranked it on my win list. Taking 4th place is John Sutter and the Map to the Lost Gold Mine (this will make some users upset for sure). While it was a win, I just don't find the appeal for it. It's not a bad win, but to me, the other three wins are better. A fairly good win, but in my eyes, it's just forgettable and nothing too special.

Luckily for me, I wasn't expecting for "Map to the Lost Gold Mine" to be in the final two. So, I am not too disappointed even though I thought it was the second best run of season one. 

Anyways, third place is going to go to "The Star of Sultan Saladin". Leah was a solid contestant, but compared to the other two wins left, this win just doesn't stand out too much. Plus, it was kind of annoying seeing her try for the direct path all of the time. A good win, but the other two wins are more memorable.

That means we will be voting on the final two. Give me about a half hour and I will set up the poll so we can determine the winner.

#3: The Star of Sultan Saladin
#4: John Sutter and the Map to the Lost Gold Mine
#5: The Trojan Horseshoe
#6: The Pendant of Kamehameha
#7: Henry VIII's Great Seal
#8: The Medal of Sir Edmund Hillary
#9: The Dragon Lady and the Blue Pearl
#10: The Belly Button of Buddha
#11: The Helmet of Genghis Khan
#12: The Snake Bracelet of Cleopatra
#13: The Golden Jaguar of Atahualpa
#14: Pecos Bill's Lost Lariat
#15: King Tut's Cobra Staff

1x03 - Galileo's Cannonball
1x37 - Lawrence of Arabia's Headdress

[The Red Jaguars]

So our final two runs include:

Galileo's Cannonball
Lawrence of Arabia's Headdress

I set the poll open for 24 hours, so after 24 hours have expired then the results will be shown. I have also placed my vote, but won't reveal it until the time limit is up.

In the mean time, I guess we can start on season two. 

[Purple Parrots Fan]

I can't believe John Sutter didn't make the final two. That was one of the top wins in the history of the show, I just don't understand the hate for it. Sure it was easy, but it was much more exciting than the likes of The Star of Sultan Saladin or the Trojan Horseshoe.

I'm gonna cast my vote now, but like TRJ, I'm keeping it anonymous until the time limit is up.

[The Red Jaguars]

Its official, the best season one run is Lawrence of Arabia's Headdress !. Good choice, this is the run that I wanted to win from the start. This was an exciting win with a great Green Monkeys team. David really kicked ass once he entered the temple after Candace was taken out. Victory was looking slim when he entered the Holes of Python, but he absolutely destroys the bottom floor of the temple once he reaches it! IMO, David's exit was the best temple exit on the show.

Galileo's Cannonball was a good win also, but Jennifer was kind of slow and clueless. John was great though and he followed up on his partner's path pretty well. And the ending was pretty exciting as well, with John reaching the finish line with one second left. But I prefer the above win to that. And the final rankings are:

#1: Lawrence of Arabia's Headdress
#2: Galileo's Cannonball
#3: The Star of Sultan Saladin
#4: John Sutter and the Map to the Lost Gold Mine
#5: The Trojan Horseshoe
#6: The Pendant of Kamehameha
#7: Henry VIII's Great Seal
#8: The Medal of Sir Edmund Hillary
#9: The Dragon Lady and the Blue Pearl
#10: The Belly Button of Buddha
#11: The Helmet of Genghis Khan
#12: The Snake Bracelet of Cleopatra
#13: The Golden Jaguar of Atahualpa
#14: Pecos Bill's Lost Lariat
#15: King Tut's Cobra Staff

[The Red Jaguars]

Here are my opinion also:

#1: Lawrence of Arabia's Headdress (good)
#2: Galileo's Cannonball (one lower)
#3: The Star of Sultan Saladin (one lower)
#4: John Sutter and the Map to the Lost Gold Mine (should've been #2)
#5: The Trojan Horseshoe (should be at #7)
#6: The Pendant of Kamehameha (one higher)
#7: Henry VIII's Great Seal (one higher)
#8: The Medal of Sir Edmund Hillary (switch with #9)
#9: The Dragon Lady and the Blue Pearl (switch with #8)
#10: The Belly Button of Buddha (should be at #12)
#11: The Helmet of Genghis Khan (one higher)
#12: The Snake Bracelet of Cleopatra (one higher)
#13: The Golden Jaguar of Atahualpa (good)
#14: Pecos Bill's Lost Lariat (switch with #15)
#15: King Tut's Cobra Staff (switch with #14)

[Purple Parrots Fan]

So glad Lawrence of Arabia won. Easily the best victory of Season 1. David owned everything and I loved his exit plan. There was definitely a reason this was first ever aired Nickelodeon episode.

As for my opinions:
#1: Lawrence of Arabia's Headdress (good)
#2: Galileo's Cannonball (one lower)
#3: The Star of Sultan Saladin (one lower)
#4: John Sutter and the Map to the Lost Gold Mine (should've been #2)
#5: The Trojan Horseshoe (lower)
#6: The Pendant of Kamehameha (good)
#7: Henry VIII's Great Seal (good)
#8: The Medal of Sir Edmund Hillary (a little lower)
#9: The Dragon Lady and the Blue Pearl (higher)
#10: The Belly Button of Buddha (should be at #12)
#11: The Helmet of Genghis Khan (good)
#12: The Snake Bracelet of Cleopatra (good)
#13: The Golden Jaguar of Atahualpa (good)
#14: Pecos Bill's Lost Lariat (switch with #15)
#15: King Tut's Cobra Staff (switch with #14)

So most of your thoughts mirror mine, TRJ. Neat.
