Legends of the Hidden Temple
Lost Season 4, Episode 4.
The Football of Walter Camp

The camera makes its way through a forest. Eventually, it comes to a stone head. It's eyes light up, and it begins to speak...

OLMECpx]
Legends of the Hidden Temple. (Applause) With your guide, Kirk Fogg! (Kirk bursts out of the door in the Room of Evil Clowns, wearing a temple guard mask. He pulls the mask off, walks out of the temple and walks up the steps of knowledge). And here he is now!

KIRK:
(Stops at top of steps) Thank you! Thankyou, very much. Nice to see you! (Points towards crowd) Nice to see you, Olmec. Welcome to Legends of the Hidden Temple. The rooms are filled with lost treasures that are guarded by mysterious Mayan temple guards. Only Olmec knows the legend behind each of the treasures in his temple. Which one are we going to hear about today?

OLMEC:
The legend of the Football of Walter Camp.

KIRK:
Ohhh, The Football of Walter Camp! Well, one of these six teams will have the chance to retrieve the Football. Will it be? (camera moves to other side of moat, panning as Kirk announces teams) The Red Jaguars? (hold for applause after each team) The Blue Barracudas? The Green Monkeys? The Orange Iguanas? The Purple Parrots? Or the Silver Snakes?

They?re going to have to pass some tough mental and physical tests, and in the end, only one team will have the right to enter Olmec?s temple, but first they have to cross the moat - and Olmec will tell us how they?ll have to do it today.

The Moat:

OLMEC:
Before you lies a rope. When Kirk gives the signal, the first player will jump in, with the rope, and swim to the other side. When you get to the other side, tie the rope around the pole and pull it tight, because then the second player will walk across the moat, standing on the rope! When the second player gets to the other side, they can run over and hit the gong. (Kirk hits gong). The first four teams will go on to the next round!

KIRK:
All right, teams, are you ready? (kids cheer) Olmec, are you ready?

OLMEC:
Oooh Yeahhh.

KIRK:
On your marks. Get set. GO!

(Event occurs)

That's it! We've got our four teams! (applause) Great work by the Purple Parrots, they made their way across very quickly, and moving on to the Steps of Knowledge is the Purple Parrots! (applause) And the Green Monkeys! (applause) And the Blue Barracudas! (applause) And the Red Jaguars! Silver Snakes and Orange Iguanas, you're not going away empty handed - we've got a nice gift for you, and here's what it is.

(Prize)

It always seemed like in each season the teams always went one way - for example, in the 1st season, they almost always ran straight into the Cave of Size (and most of the time there was a Temple Guard there). In the third season, when the Pit of the Pendulum was introduced, they almost always went up so they could swing and knock over the thing (cant remember what it was called). I didn't like the Pit, kind of, because if you knocked it over and the door to the Tomb of the Headless Kings didn't open, you had to climb up and you were basically screwed.
