Individual Ranking System

[The Red Jaguars]

Yeah, that never made sense to me on why Jessica would even get a higher score than James. Not that James was anything special, but he certainly was not outperformed by his partner. Jessica didn't even make it to half-way where James was taken out and turned around to try and enter the Heart Room. Although his scores were always inconsistent. Gabby and Joe having the same temple run score as Jennifer (Map to the Lost Gold Mine)? Or Bobby even having a better temple score than Lea (Sultan Saladin) and Jennifer?   

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Oh, Lea getting a worse score than Bobby, Joe, and Gabby was beyond ridiculous. I mean, yes Lea tried for a direct path, but that strategy helped her win. But Bobby does pretty much the same thing and just because he's fast, it's suddenly a better win than John Sutter and Sultan Saladin? I try to be as fair as possible and don't take points off for every little mistake a contestant makes.

Just for the record, here's a list of production days that haven't been re done (for comparisons) yet:
S1L1/Galileo's Cannonball
S1L3/Sultan Saladin/Alhambra
S1L6/Buddha/Joan of Arc
S1L7/Sir Edmund Hilary/Shaka Zulu

And here's what hasn't been covered at all yet:
S1L8/King Tut/Mata Hari (started by THK, but got lost in the database crash)
Silver Horseshoe/Silver Cannonball (also started by THK, but lost in the database crash)
Missing Eye/Tall Turban (possible one to do next)
Sultan Suleiman/Montezuma
Secret Map/Thornwood Gavel
Belle Boyd/Pytheas (another possible one)
Jeweled Scabbard/Jewel Encrusted Egg

I might do the Montezuma filming day next, just to see how low Lost Lion Tail ranks. Either that or the final filming day of Season 3. And I do have completed rankings for the latter's filming day, it's just a matter of me posting them.

[The Red Jaguars]

Lea was awesome in the temple. I would seriously give her a score of an 8 in the temple. Direct path aside, she rocked. She moved fast and tried every shortcut available to her. And she got the first solo victory and central shaft victory on the show. That was no easy feat at all. And I seriously hate Bobby more and more everytime someone says something amazing about him. 

I think you should do Benzibab/Catherine the Great. Now that would be an awesome production day to do. Even Empress Eugenie was amazing as the other three were.  It would be interesting to see how the Barracudas and Green Monkeys rank in the team game in "Sforza". And how the temple runners in Benzibab and Sforza rank. And also what type of score Jay ends up with.

But good luck with the Montezuma day though. It probably wouldn't be so bad for you since you probably know Sultan Suleiman and Lost Lion Tail by heart. And you just watched Cosa Rara for the episode ranking, so that might be fresh too you. Montezuma is the only episode that day I even come close to liking.

I wouldn't mind doing Galileo's Cannonball day though. If I would do that though, I probably would stay away from Blackbeard's Treasure Map because that doesn't feel like a S1L1 episode for me. And Galileo's Cannonball is awesome, and I wouldn't ever mind rewatching it. 

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Yeah, I gave her an 8 for my player rankings of her. Direct path aside, she did a solid job. And I agree about Bobby, and your sentiments on all the other overrated contestants everytime someone says something nice about them. And I might just do the final filming day of Season 3 next, since again, I already have all four of those episodes ranked. For Montezuma's filming day, I have every episode except Lost Lion Tail ranked. I would have to watch Lost Lion Tail just for the sake of completion. Something I'm not looking forward to. -_- In fact, there are only 7 or so episodes I haven't ranked yet, which include Blackbeard, Shiva, Alhambra, Lion Slashed Jacket, etc. to name a few. You can have Galileo's Cannonball's filming day, even if it means avoiding Blackbeard. I know you wanted to do Enormous Iron Nose Ring's filming day, even though you never really got around to it.

[The Red Jaguars]

I could've sworn someone did the Thornwood Gavel day? If not, I definitely will take that one next. I am assuming that Chandragupta was part of the same day too as Thornwood Gavel and Bandit Queen. Sounds like a good deal to me, and I would love to see how Zac (Bandit Queen) and Kelli (Judge Roy Bean) rank. Should be an interesting day.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Yeah, it goes Chandragupta/Lion Slashed Jacket/Secret Map/Thornwood Gavel. Nobody has done that one yet, and if they did, it must've been during the database crash. I would definitely love to see Zac and Thornwood Gavel's Mike's scores. If that's the one you're gonna post next.

It's been a while since anyone has done rankings, so I'm gonna do Sultan Suleiman's filming day:

THE SACRED RING OF THE SULTAN SULEIMAN

Brian:

Temple Run: 4
Overall: 6

Gracelyn:

Melissa:

Individual Game: 6
Team Game: 6
Overall: 6.5

NOTES:

Wow, take a look at that. Not good when the team you beat in the temple games scores higher than you. Besides the temple run, this episode really wasn't bad at all. During the moat, it was funny how Brian had made it across, but left Gracelyn hanging. Naturally, they ended up ringing in last. It was also funny how the moat order was literally Red - Blue - Green - Purple. The temple games featured a unique sequence, where each temple game connected to each other story wise. Brian sucked in the game where you have to remove the ring from the totem pole. Chris on the other hand was a BEAST and got his ring off in no time. For the girls temple game, they had the squirting game where you had to actually memorize the sequence of which holes squirted water first. Unlike in "Annie Taylor" and "Silver Cannonball," this game was graded because it all came down to who got the most guesses correct. In the end, Gracelyn ended up winning. For the team game, it was the giant steps game, where you had to put a ring on the finger on top. It was neck and neck, but the Purple Parrots just barely edged out the Blue Barracudas at the end. The temple run sucked, all thanks to Brian. First of all, he detoured into the Ledges, where a temple guard took his pendant. He stalls immensely in there, and wastes so much time. Another blunder he made was NOT signaling back the half pendant to Gracelyn. Thankfully, Brian is removed in the Observatory. While Gracelyn seemed to know what she was doing somewhat, she was waaaaay too slow. After completing the King's Storeroom objective, she heads into Medusa's Lair, where the third temple guard puts an end to the run with 46 seconds remaining. I'm pretty sure the door to the Shrine did not open, but the Observatory/Medusa's Lair door did, but Gracelyn never took it. If it's any consolation, this is the only triple capture the Purple Parrots had. But this outcome could've easily have been prevented if Brian didn't detour into the Ledges. I may be alone on this, but I blame Brian much more than I do Gracelyn. Because like I said above, her only problem was moving too slow.

NOTES:

I hate this episode so much. I reviewed this episode not long ago in the Episode Rankings thread, where it got a VERY low score. The moat is heavily edited because the teams can't seem to get across those tires. It came down to the Red Jaguars, Orange Iguanas, and the Purple Parrots, and nobody was getting across. In the end, the Red Jaguars took the final spot. If it's one thing positive though, the Blue Barracudas were amazing getting across! They were across in 20 seconds, and the Green Monkeys were equally as fast as well. They were the only teams to not struggle with the moat really. The temple games, like in Sacred Ring, featured yet another unique sequence. Though the temple game results were very one sided. You could totally tell who was going to win in all three games. Jessica was pathetic in the game where you have to gold on to the spinning horse. She was dangling the whole time, though it's not like she should've fallen off sooner like some people like to claim. Either way, Mary of the Blue Barracudas ended up winning the game. Justin was a beast in the climb the totem pole game. He had gotten all the merlins on the top cube/square before time was up! In the team game, the Blue Barracudas lagged behind the whole time. But the Green Monkeys kept a solid lead, which helped them win both this game, and a trip to the temple. The temple run featured yet another disappointment. It's one of those runs where the frontrunner is really fast, and the second runner is really slow. Justin did a great job in the temple. He scaled the whole central shaft, and made it all the way to the King's Storeroom with 1:40 left on the clock. Jessica was a painfully slow runner. While she did grab the half pendant, it didn't matter. She only added one room to her progress and couldn't even assemble the monkey in time. Though even if she had gone in first, they still would've lost anyways, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

NOTES:

Finally a halfway decent episode. The moat in this episode was MUCH better than in the previous one. Kevin and Kelly were very in fast crossing and were the first team to finish. The Steps of Knowledge featured a double sweep between the Red Jaguars and the Blue Barracudas. Both Kevin and Caspian answered all the questions for their respective teams. The temple games featured a decent sequence, just like the previous episodes did. Both Kelly and Amy were neck and neck in the rotating Olmec wheel game. Kelly fell off the wheel a few times, which is why I gave her a lower score. But in the end, they managed to tie their game. Caspian was TERRIBLE in his game. He couldn't balance himself on the zipline if his life depended on it. He kept falling off the entire game. He started to get the hang of it towards the end of the game, but it was too little too late. Kevin however, was very dominant and naturally won. Neither player on the Blue Barracudas were very impressive in the team game, which once again featured the giant steps. They lagged behind the whole time, which gave the Red Jaguars an opening, and helped them win their game and go to the temple! The temple run was a vast improvement over the past two runs, but it was a tad disappointing. Both Kevin and Kelly would've had a much better chance at winning if Kevin didn't constantly beeline for a direct path, and if Kelly didn't fail epically with the monkey. This could've been a Enormous Iron Nose Ring type solo win too, where all three guards were avoidable. But oh well, still a decent temple run nonetheless.

NOTES:

Want some further proof the Silver Snakes were screwed in the temple games? Take a took at Claude's score. He managed to get the SAME SCORE as John and Tia, a measly 4.4 average. Which is the same score TRJ gave them in his rankings. Claude just didn't belong on the show. He was too slow crossing the moat, got owned in his individual game, and he was a complete and utter lost cause in the temple. The only thing that prevents him from getting a "1," was his finding of the half pendant in the Swamp, which he needed in the Dark Forest. That's definitely not something Renee from Nzinga can't say. As for the rest of this episode, it wasn't that great really. During the Steps, the Blue Barracudas had a VERY early lead. They swept through the first two questions, but rang in wrong for the third question. And then never attempted to ring in again for the rest of the round. I wonder how much better they would've fared in the temple games. Marie definitely carried the team through the temple, and she wasn't that bad at all in the temple run. Her only problem was missing the bucket in the Rock Quarry a few times. To make up for it, she's the only contestant to pull off the white laser on the first panel. So that's why I gave her a "6" for the temple run. Her downfall.... was  obviously Claude. Seriously, an average below 5 is not good at all for a team that only got to the temple on a lucky break. Especially when everyone else scored significantly higher than him. Just, I don't want to waste anymore time talking about this episode....

Overall, pretty bad filming day. The only episode I can even come close to liking is "The Jeweled Necklace of Montezuma," and even that run was a loss. With an epic fail with the silver monkey to boot. I should also note that I've been meaning to post a list of the Top 10 Best/Worst rated players we have so far. I already have the list put together, but I just need to post it. So be on the look out for that.

Montezuma >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sacred Ring >>>>>>>> Cosa Rara >>>>>>> Lost Lion Tail

[The Red Jaguars]

The Sultan Suleiman production day, the one day that makes the Purple Parrot fans cry. The Purple Parrots get two rare temple appearances, but they turn out to be crap. Actually, the whole day was crap save for Montezuma.

Sultan Suleiman was a pretty good episode before the temple run. It was the only thing that saved this episode from being utter garbage. I didn't really care for the Babylonian moat crossing for this production day either. It's amazing that Brian got a lower score then Gracelyn. I always thought that Brian was the strong one before the temple? Actually, it is pretty embarrassing that the Blue Barracudas out-played the Purple Parrots and STILL lost. Chris of the Blue Barracudas was strong in general and he dominated his individual game. If his team went to the temple, I am sure his score would've been higher. Speaking of the temple run, it was pretty pathetic how it ended. I blame Brian for most of the loss and I agree he deserves a lower score. He shouldn't have entered the Ledges after only trying one book in the Crypt. And he never signaled the half-pendant back to Gracelyn either. I mean why not since the other piece was right in front of him on the Troubled Bridge? Gracelyn was pretty slow and there is no excuse for not finding the other half-pendant. Oh well, she was kind of a lost cause too since she got lost in the King's Storeroom. They would've done better if Brian had stayed at the top of the temple and not enter the Ledges. And did anyone on the set not have the decency to give Brian longer pants? His jeans were above his ankles throughout the whole episode.

Plumed Headdress is definitely a garbage episode and I hate it. Justin was definitely a good player, but Jessica sucked though. This is the only episode from this day that I don't remember much details about besides Justin being really good. I do remember the retarded legend, but that is a different story. The temple run was frustrating and boring to watch. Justin actually made good time in the temple though, especially since he went up the central shaft. Jessica was pretty bad though, and she was so slow following up on Justin's path. She only added one room onto Justin's path. It was a tough temple layout, but the team really should've started in the Crypt. Oh well, Jessica was slow anyways. I don't think they would've won. I hate this episode though.  

You're right about Montezuma being the only good episode from this production day. The Red Jaguars did pretty good before the temple run including finishing first in the moat and winning two pendants in the temple games. The Steps of Knowledge was one of those short rounds where only 6 questions were asked altogether and the other two teams stand around and do nothing. IIRC, this is the Steps round where the Green Monkey boy gets an answer wrong and makes this pissed off face at the camera. The Blue Barracudas looked like a very young team too. I always liked the name "Caspian" also.   I don't recall Kelly falling off her wheel in her temple game though? Amy would've won if she hadn't fallen off since she was faster than Kelly. The Red Jaguars dominated the rest of their temple games at least. The temple run was pretty exciting though, even if the Red Jaguars lost. Kevin tried to beeline for the direct path a little too much. First he started in the Crypt and then he entered Medusa's Lair when he could've avoided both for a solo win. Kelly was pretty fast as a second runner and she was smart to avoid the Medusa's Lair detour. However, all of this was for nothing as she failed pretty hard in the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. She had about a minute to assemble the Silver Monkey and could not get it together. Even after she drops the Silver Monkey torso over the edge and is thrown back to her, she still couldn't get it done. I would've gave her a "5" for the simple fact that it took her over a minute and she still wasn't close to completing it. If Kevin stayed low and avoided Medusa's Lair, they would've had an "Enormous Iron Nose Ring" like win.

Lost Lion Tail was definitely the worst episode from that day. I knew that Claude was a lost cause and one of the worst on the show. It was so obvious that he would get a really low score considering Marie did all the work that day. She answered all of the questions in the Steps and won her individual game. I hate when teams like the Blue Barracudas get the first two questions correct in the Steps, and still don't go onto the temple games. Speaking of the temple games, it featured one of the biggest chokes in the history of Legends. The Silver Snakes had the final temple game easily won until they reached their second step and dropped the sign. They had to go back down and actually retrieve it. By then though, the Purple Parrots had a free pass to the temple. After getting a gifted temple appearance, what do the Purple Parrots do? They decide to blow their load in the temple, or more like Claude did. Marie was actually a pretty good frontrunner. All that time she lost in the Rock Quarry she made up in the Laser Light Room finding the White Light on her first try. And with 1:50 to himself, there is no reason why Claude couldn't have won. My God was Claude a terrible contestant.   He was very slow and didn't seem to know where he was at. He just walked aimlessly through the temple and eventually made it to the Mine Shaft where he did not know what to do. His temple run ended when he placed his finger inside the temple guard's pee hole.           Claude was definitely the biggest disgrace to the Purple Parrots, more so than Jackie was. The only thing saving him from a "1" in the temple was that he actually found the half-pendant. I hate this temple run and I definitely add it to my black list of temple runs of not to watch. This was definitely the Purple Parrots worst episode ever and I wonder why TPP actually like this episode?    

Overall, this must've been a painful day to review. Here are my rankings:

Montezuma >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. Sultan Suleiman >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Plumed Headdress >>>>>>>>>>>> Lost Lion Tail

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Please, like I'd shed a tear over the Purple Parrots having a few choke jobs. And let me explain about Brian: He sucked in his individual game, did you see him? He took his sweet time getting the ring off the totem pole, and Chris owned him. At least Gracelyn had the squirting game going for her. And I completely blame Brian for why this team lost. Yes Gracelyn was slow, but I don't blame her one bit for not seeing the half pendant. Again, I blame Brian for not signaling back to her. Maybe I'm just wrong here. Maybe I should've just given Gracelyn a "4" for the temple run just like Brian. And yeah, Kelly from Montezuma should've gotten a "5" got the temple run. Because she just didn't know how to assemble that monkey.

You know, maybe I shouldn't have done this filming day. I figured I would post it to show everyone just how abysmal Claude was. Oh well, maybe if someone else who wants to try these rankings and post a better filming day, they're free to do it. I still want to post the "Top 10 Best/Worst Players" list. I know we haven't exactly covered every single contestant, but we got the majority of them. So why not?

[The Red Jaguars]

Oh no, I am not saying you're wrong for giving Brian a lower score.   I just remember a couple of people saying that Brian was suppose to be the stronger contestant before the temple run. I personally don't know for sure myself for how well Brian performed before the temple because I haven't watched the Sultan Suleiman episode in a long time. And besides, both him and Gracelyn's score were pretty close. So it's not like Graceylen was that much better. But yeah, I think Brian is mainly to blame for the temple loss. Especially the two obvious mistakes that could've been easily avoided. I think Gracelyn's temple score is fine.

Nothing wrong with choosing this production day either. Yeah, it was pretty abysmal. But it's always fun to see how some of these bad contestants rank. Like how low Claude ranked.  I mean I am sure this production day wasn't any better than the Lost Logbooks/Moccasins day, right? That is how I felt about the Lost Hammer/Golden Ship day too.  Also, PP319 did rankings for the Sultan Suleiman and Lost Lion Tail team. Maybe I will find them to see how they compare?

And I will be interested in your top 10/bottom 10 player list too. I think we covered almost every production day except the Bandit Queen/Thornwood Gavel and Missing Eye/Enormous Iron Nose Ring. Maybe I will try and do Bandit Queen over the next two days because I am sure Zac will make your top 10 list.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Here's PP319's rankings of the Purple Parrots contestants:
Lost Lion Tail (Bone Necklace rankings are attached to that post too, which I also did rankings for).
Sacred Ring (Leopard Skin Cloak is also attached to the post, which you did rankings for).

If you still want to compare, there you go. The only things I did differently was not give .5 points or do team averages. Also, some contestants have an "N/A" for the Steps of Knowledge, which I have no problem with. I at least give a "5" or a "6" to those contestants who don't respond. I know PP319 doesn't do rankings anymore, but both of our rankings are fair and should average in around the same.

And you should totally do Bandit Queen's filming day next, or Enormous Nose Ring's filming day. Especially since you have reviewed both episodes in the Episode Rankings thread recently. I can definitely say Zac ranked very high in my player rankings of him. But, I'm not gonna spoil anything.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Okay, here are the best/worst rated players:

Top 10 Best:
Gator (The Mussel Shell Armor of Apanuugpak): 9.4
Olivia-Emma (The Applewood Amulet of Emiliano Zapata): 8.85
Zac (The Secret Map of the Bandit Queen): 8.85
David (Lawrence of Arabia's Headdress): 8.8
Ty (The Lucky Medallion of Atocha): 8.65
Jessica (The Lost Hornpipe of the Pirate Captain): 8.6
Brent (The Lost Hornpipe of the Pirate Captain): 8.5
Greg (The Golden Jaguar of Atahualpa): 8.5
Jay (The Good-Luck Watch of Empress Eugenie): 8.4
TJ (The Metal Beard of the Egyptian Queen): 8.25

NOTES:

Not bad, most of the players on this list are easily the highest regarded in the Legends fandom. So their places on the list aren't very surprising at all. Look at how many Green Monkey players are featured. They make up half the list! Is it any coincidence that the Green Monkeys are considered such a strong team? Gator is easily our valedictory player with a whopping 9.4 average. Nobody else is comes close to him! For second place, it's a tie between Olivia-Emma and Zac, but I gave Olivia-Emma the upper hand since she never got below a "7" for any rounds. In my rankings of Zac, he scored high in every single round except for the moat, where I gave him a "7" there. So Olivia-Emma is the salutatory player here. Out of the 10 players of this list, there are two temple game losers featured here, both being Purple Parrot rejects funnily enough. Speaking of Greg and Brent, they managed to tie for 7th/8th place. But I gave Brent from Lost Hornpipe the upper hand since I found him to be a wee bit stronger than Greg from Atahualpa. Imagine if those players made it to the temple. It's kind of sad that there are only two female players featured here. But if there's one positive thing I can say, both Jessica AND Brent are featured from the Lost Hornpipe episode. I mean, two players from the same episode who make the Top 10 best list? That's amazing. Jarrid was a pretty strong player too, don't get me wrong. But in my rankings of him, he only got an 8.2 average. He scored very high in each round, but the "6" I gave him for his individual game was his downfall. Plus, Jessica and Brent got a "10" in at least one round, so that helped their averages a lot. Overall, most of these players (especially the Top 6), are players I pretty much figured would be in the top tier.

Top 10 Worst:
Amber (The Silver Cannonball of Grandy Nanny): 4.75
Jamie (The Oracle Bowl of Delphi): 4.75
Colby (The Bifocal Monocle of One Eyed Jack): 4.75
Kristen (The Lucky Pig of Amelia Earhart): 4.6
Tammy (The Helmet of Genghis Khan): 4.5
Claude (The Lost Lion Tail of Little John): 4.4
John (The Golden Cricket Cage of Khan): 4.4
Tia (The Golden Cricket Cage of Khan): 4.4
GG (The Codebook of Mata Hari): 4.25
Winter (The Cracked Crown of the Spanish King): 4.0

NOTES:

Man, look at all those 4 averages. And look at how many of them are temple game losers too. They take up literally half the list. I know it doesn't seem fair to include temple game losers. But some of those players just didn't excel in ANY round, so it really hurt their averages. One thing I'd like to note is that there were at least three more people that got a 4.75 average. So the three listed above (Amber, Jamie, Colby), might be random selections, but I just thought they were suited better for this list. And believe me, it was hard to pick which 4.75 rejects I wanted to include here. Since they were all bad in their own little ways. The order I chose to put the worst players in goes from "best of the worst" to "the absolute worst," in case anyone was wondering. It's funny how John, Tia, and Claude managed to get the exact same score, but STILL didn't end up as the worst rated players. Instead, they end up tying for the third worst rated. With that being said, Winter from The Cracked Crown of the Spanish King manages to be the worst rated player ever. Congratulations Winter, not hanging on to the horse really came back to bite you in the ass! And this was TRJ's ranking of her too. While I haven't actually ranked Winter, a measly 4.0 average is quite accurate. Runner up for worst rated is GG from "The Codebook of Mata Hari." The girl who couldn't maneuver through the "Barney Rubble" if her life depended on it. I would've included Evan from Shiva on this list, but he only got a 4.8 average in my rankings of him. While it wasn't enough to include him on this list, nor did he score worse than John and Tia, he was still a pretty bad player. Either way, I think we can all agree that John, Tia, and Claude are by far the worst players ever.

And that's it. Most of these rankings are ones that either I have posted, or TRJ has posted. You'll notice some of these rankings (like of GG, Jay, and Zac) have never been posted at all. That's because I have all these rankings saved to my computer. And if I'm comparing my rankings to TRJ's, I'll fix them a little if I feel like one player should get one point higher, or one point lower. I might put up another list of the Top 10 worst players, but include temple runners only. Only because it is a bit unfair to include temple game losers because they never proved themselves. Even then, this list still seems accurate enough, don't you think?

[The Red Jaguars]

I agree with the top 10 list for sure. There was no doubt in my mind that Gator was the best contestant on the show. He was the only one t break the #9 range.   I am also happy to see Olivia-Emma tied for second best too. I don't care if her layout was easy, she was awesome. Plus that means the top 10 list is not dominated by all guys. Glad Jessica made it high on the list too. While both her and Jarrid were beast, I always felt she was the star of the "Pirate Captain win". And two different contestants from the same episode on the top list? Shows you how strong both the Purple Parrots and Green Monkeys were!

I am surprised to see Jay make it high though. But I don't have any problems though because he was awesome.   I recently watched the "Empress Eugenie" episode and I think his score is very fitting. I always thought that he ranked up there with Zac anyways. Too bad his team didn't win though. I remember THK called him a tard in the temple in another topic. Really?

And LOL at the bottom list. It's pretty embarrassing that two players from the same team make it to the bottom list. But John and Tia deserved it. And Claude and Kristen from Amelia Earhart being there is pretty fitting also. Their partners did all the work in their episodes, while neither player did crap. They were pretty much dead weight. I remember the Green Monkey girl Winter from Cracked Crown too. She fell off the horse after 7 seconds? And then we have GiGi from "Mata Hari", who ranked lower than John and Tia.

Overall, I agree with the rankings for sure. It was definitely interesting to see the bottom list too. Some of these contestants really didn't belong on the show.

Well, what helped Jay the most was his performance in the temple games. Especially in the team game, where I gave him a "10." He caught every single ball and didn't miss even a single time. Plus, his temple run performance helped. I should totally post the last day of Season 3's rankings next.

And yeah, not good when you can't even make a 5 average. And in some cases, STILL make it to the temple. Claude and Kristen contributed nothing to their respective teams. They only made it as far as they did because their partners carried their teams through the episode. I agree, you wonder how some of these contestants get on the show in the first place. I mean, I know their just kids and everything, but still.

In case any of you still wanted to see it, here's a list of the Top 10 worst temple runners:

Top 10 Worst (Temple Runners):
Jason (The Smashed Printing Plate of Frederick Douglass): 5.1
Karisa (The Enormous Feather of the Mi Linh): 5.0
Jessie (The Silk Sash of Mulan): 5.0
Ron (The Treasure of Anne Bonny): 5.0
Evan (The Stolen Arm of Shiva): 4.8
Amber (The Silver Cannonball of Grandy Nanny): 4.75
Kristen (The Lucky Pig of Amelia Earhart): 4.6
Claude (The Lost Lion Tail of Little John): 4.4
John (The Golden Cricket Cage of Khan): 4.4
Tia (The Golden Cricket Cage of Khan): 4.4

NOTES:

Well naturally, half the players from my previous "worst" list still remain on the list above. The ones that are new to the list, have averages ranging in the high 4's, low 5's. Even with this difference in the list, I still ranked the above players from "best of the worst" to "the worst." As you can see above, Evan from Shiva makes the list with a measly 4.8 average. While he doesn't have a worse ranking than John and Tia, he's still pretty bad, ranking #5 on the list. Speaking of John and Tia, they both tie with Claude for worst rated player ever. While all three of them are atrocious players, I would say Claude is the third worst, while John and Tia respectively are THE worst. Although players like Karisa, Jessie, and Ron all have a solid 5 averages. But with them, it doesn't really make a difference who places where, since they were pretty much on par with each other. Either way, it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who ranked the worst. While Winter from "The Cracked Crown of the Spanish King" is technically the worst rated player with a mere 4.0 average, John, Tia, and Claude are the worst rated temple runners ever. Congratulations John, Tia, and Claude, you are a disgrace to Legends!

Whew, that was fun. I love ranking all the worst players, just to see who truly did the worst. It's very interesting to see, but of course ranking the best players is fun too. This list should be accurate enough, especially since this is strictly temple runners only. Thoughts?
