Here's the next set of fails. Like always, leave your feedback and I appreciate every bit of it.
Legends Fails 36-40:40. "The Applewood Amulet of Emiliano Zapata" — The Gong's revenge
During the moat crossing for the Blue Barracudas, they were the last team to chime into the moat and move onto the Steps of Knowledge. When they chimed into the gong, they knocked the gong right off the pedestal. Right after that, Kirk points out that the Silver Snakes were wrongly sent back during the moat and that they were the team that was going to be replaced in the Steps. So the Blue Barracudas were disqualified in the moat as if they were being punish for breaking off the gong. Luckily for them, they were given a second chance in "The Priceless Portrait of the Polynesian Girl" where they actually made it to the temple games but ultimately lost to another moat replacement team coincidentally.
39. "The Metal Beard of the Egyptian Queen" — An exit that was not so RandyThis episode marked the first time the Purple Parrots made it to the temple while beating another team in a tiebreaker. As for the temple run itself, both T.J. and Randy were a strong team and Randy made it to the Metal Beard with plenty of time on the clock. But the run takes a turn for the worst when Randy starts taking an awkward path out of the temple, which involved running into different rooms. Her exit plan was starting to tick T.J. off, who was shouting at her to hurry the hell up. When she even enters the Ledges, she climbs up to the Crypt before running down the stairs. Luckily, this team still won with 0:05 remaining. But this might've not been a win if Randy planned a little better,
38. "The Dragon Lady and the Blue Pearl" — "Jennifer, you are going to have to dive for it..."This episode marks the closest a contestant has attempted to reach an artifact, but failed to grab it before time is up. Jennifer was literally inches or even millimeters away from grabbing the Blue Pearl. She could've grabbed the Blue Pearl had she not made the dramatic dive for it. Although I blame Kirk in part of this also because she told her to go for the dramatic dive. But even after hauling ass to get to the Holes of Python, Jennifer still comes up short. Although most of the blame should be put onto her partner Albert, but that is an entirely different story that must be saved for later.
37. "The Silk Sash of Mulan" — Attack of the temple guardsNormally, the temple guards were frightening to the contestants due to their scary and surprising nature. But these temple guards in this episode took it to a new limit. The first temple guard in the Crypt was trying so hard to capture Jessie that he broke the temple guard door. And afterwards, she throws the pendant of life at him and then he looks around stupidly like a lost animal looking for the pendant on the ground. But their insanity doesn't stop there. When Steven enters the Laser Light Room, the final temple guard instantly grabs him and demands the pendant of life from him. Then he starts screaming at Steven and makes weird noises while Steven scrambles to give him his pendant. He even grabs Steven while he is trying to give him a half-pendant? What were these temple guards on during this run? They were more out of control than usual.
36. "The Electrified Key of Benjamin Franklin" — If only it was that simple...Bottom of the central shaft runs were always tricky on the show, but this team tried a little to hard to blow it as much as they can. The name of the fail here is Peter. He starts off his temple run by running straight into the Pit and pushing the actuator to the Throne Room. Honestly, why do these kids think pressing the button that leads right to the artifact is going to work? Nothing is ever that simple. In season two, nevertheless. But the fail does not stop there. After being forced to the top of the temple, he continues to beeline for the Throne Room by entering Medusa's Lair. Here, he encounters a temple guard and loses a pendant. He is then taken out in the next room by a temple guard. Michelle almost made a fail herself by almost running into the Crypt, which had a temple guard in it by judging from the path the team took. But the biggest fail was Peter trying too hard to get into the Throne Room. Sorry kids, but Olmec's temple is just not that simple.
