I was debating between Olivia-Emma and Jason for this elimination. I personally enjoy the Applewood Amulet run more than the Levitating Dog Leash run, but since we are looking for the "best contestant," I will not be basing my decision on that criteria.
Both had very similar paths and pretty similar outcomes. Each had to clear the King's Storeroom and the Shrine of the Silver Monkey en route to the upper left corner of the temple. However, Jason also cleared the Room of the Mandarin Hand, and his partner cleared the Laser Light Room. Jason's use of the Dog Leash to cross the Pit was rather ingenious, and even with having to clear an extra room than the Applewood Amulet run, they finished 15 seconds more quickly.
As much as I enjoy the run, Olivia-Emma (The Applewood Amulet of Emiliano Zapata) deserves to stop now. She passed up the half pendant in the Pit. Additionally, she only completed the King's Storeroom and Shrine of the Silver Monkey objectives. When she entered the Viper's Nest, she nearly pulled a "Get the pepperoni!" moment and started heading for the elevator to the Mineshaft. It was quite lucky that this team only needed to traverse the upper floor, and it was also lucky that the team didn't end up in triple capture. Having 1:50 to clear two rooms and get out was more than ample time, yet Olivia-Emma made this finish a nail-biter of a finish. The seventh position belongs to Olivia-Emma.
