Interesting Photos from Various Episodes

Wasn't that room also dark in Gwalior too? Also from that same day. The temple in S3 had the tendency to be dark in certain rooms of the temple. Like mentioned earlier where in "Enormous Feather" where the Jester's Court was completely dark for David and the lights never dimmed either. Or in Sir Gawain where it seemed like half of Tiffani's rooms were pitch black also. Especially the Ledges.

But the Jester's Court did have problems that day.

I just rewatched Gwalior. It looked normal

Yeah, the lighting in the Room of the Ancient Warriors was fine in Gwalior, it was just in Dried Ear of Corn that it was dark. Also, the lights not dimming in Enormous Feather also happened in Golden Pepperoni.

It looked fine in the Ivory Hunting Horn run (the first episode of that day). I wonder if something broke between that run and the Royal Torque run (the second episode of that day).

What did the Jester's Court look like in the Pirate Captain run? That one came right after Queen Boadicea. I don't recall if Jarrid entered it when he ran out of the temple or not. But it seemed find for David in Enormous Feather up until he completed the objective.

As for the darkness in Dried Ear of Corn, is it possible that the last episode of each production day had a darker than usual temple? Since it was the last temple run, the producers might've dimmed some areas of the temple. Just look how dark some areas are in the temple for Tiffani in Sir Gawain. I need to go back and watch some of the last episodes of each production day (like Catherine the Great and Lost Taj Mahal Turban) to see if they had dark parts of the temple too.

Melted Head was last of the day, not Taj Mahal Turban. And Jarrid did not exit through the Jester's Court in the Pirate Captain run. But yeah, the whole dimming of rooms for the last episodes of each day is interesting. I wonder why the production crew felt the need to do that though.

Here's an interesting photo I found watching "Elizabeth the First's Golden Ship" yesterday.




Look carefully at the Wall Climb. Notice how the Throne Room door is opened, despite the fact it was so very obviously locked during the temple run. How did that happen? Obviously, the door would be locked for the temple run, since the production crew would never make a layout THAT easy. But why is is suddenly opened for no apparent reason? I read somewhere here a while ago where some doors are apparently opened for contestants. So they can exit the temple quicker despite losing. And this same thing apparently happened in "The Golden Cricket Cage of Khan." Where the Golden Idols door leading to the Heart Room was opened, but not the Heart Room door itself. Though with how retarded John and Tia were, even if that was some supposed production error, they still would've been the same lost causes they were to begin with.

Furthermore, this same photo in on Ed's site, found below:




Now, I used to think that photo/scene was from "The Keys to Alhambra," with both the Throne Room and Heart Room doors being opened. But I compared the above photos to the "Copyright 1993" bit in Alhambra, and it didn't match. It just showed Lisa walking back to Steve and Kirk, and before we even see a further shot of those three standing around, the scene fades. Plus, both photos above are an exact match. Thoughts on this?

[The Red Jaguars]

I am pretty sure they unlocked certain doors at the end of the temple run when it was completely over. Even if the team didn't collect the artifact, certain doors would unlock to either make it easier for the contestants to get out of the temple or it was just a procedure they did at the end of the temple run. I definitely don't think those rooms were meant to be unlocked at during the temple run. Especially the "Golden Ship" run with the Throne Room door open. If that door really opened, that would've made "Shaka Zulu" look like "Apanuugpak".

I was rewatching the Season 3 moat crossings, and came across an unusual edit from the Good-Luck Watch of Empress Eugenie episode. The three images below were taken within 7 seconds of each other (courtesy video posted on youtube.com by OlmecFan25). The first image was taken at 3:27, and in the background, you can see that both Jay and Janeen are still on the first side of the moat. Once the Purple Parrots rang in, the video cut to Janeen climbing over the net at 3:29 (second image). The last image, taken at 3:34, shows Jay helping Janeen out of the water. Also, note that the fog was starting to dissipate in the middle of the moat.

Janeen had failed to successfully cross the moat by the time the first three teams rang in, but in the photo sequence, Jay was already across the moat. This means that Janeen passed off the rope to Jay and had him cross before proceeding. This also means that during editing, they chose to cut out Jay crossing the moat. Finally, this means that the second Orange Iguana and Silver Snake teammates must have had a LOT of difficulty crossing the moat if both Jay and Janeen were able to cross before either of them did.

[The Red Jaguars]

Good find, that was pretty interesting to see Jay and Janeen struggle so much in this moat. Jay must've been a beast in crossing if he got across so fast. Of course, he was a beast throughout this episode. I am surprised though that Jay didn't attempt to cross any sooner, considering how bad Janeen was struggling.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Yeah, I noticed all of that last time I watched Good Luck Watch a few months ago. We never even SEE Jay cross the moat, because the moat was so heavily edited. I remember Janeen especially struggled to get across, which is pretty much why her team finished last. The two losing teams must've really sucked at the moat for both Janeen and Jay made miraculous comebacks. And with the fog near disappearing in the last picture, this must've been a pretty long moat. Catherine the Great had a rather lengthy moat too, which was filmed the same day as Good Luck Watch. I guess a lot of players struggled with this moat that day.

And while we're on the subject of this episode, notice one of the Orange Iguana players do a MAJOR flip during the moat:




That look like that HAD to hurt. Especially in water that was not at all deep. While the flip probably wasn't intentional, he/she could've gotten really hurt from that. Naturally, they didn't make it across. I'm not sure if I've posted that picture before, but if I haven't, there you go.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I know that a small amount of episodes in S1 had the doors instantly open after a triple capture. Most notably, "The Pendant of Kamehameha". When the guard escorts Tina to The Dungeon, the golden doors in the Tomb instantly open.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Yeah, that's true, and I do remember that. But I always thought the doors instantly opened for any losing player, so they could exit the temple quicker, triple capture or not. Also, you could even see contestants walking out of the temple in the credits after losing. Larry from "The Mysterious Manuscript of Mary Shelley" is a perfect example of that.

Picture below from Ed's site:




I call it, "Larry's Walk of Shame."

[The Red Jaguars]

The door opening in the Throne Room for the Golden Ship run also happened in the Golden Cricket Cage run. At the end of the temple run, you can see the Heart Room-Golden Idols door open. Even though Tia tried it and it never opened. Although I am not going to post pictures from that abomination. 

Also, the producers must've placed emphasis on Larry's walk of shame on purpose. I don't remember any other contestant that got so much screen time on their temple exit. I like Kate's stupid gesture as Larry is exiting the temple too. He deserves it also. 

[Purple Parrots Fan]

At least Kate was a good sport despite losing as badly as she did, and getting paired up with Larry. If that's any sort of consolation. But yeah, I also think the producers recorded Larry's "Walk of Shame" on purpose. How else do they show so much of Larry exiting the temple?
