It's stupid of people to think that just because one player reaches the artifact, it means they were automatically better players. That's irrelevent to me. You're right too, if Karisa had Bent Shaving Pan's layout, and went in first, she'd waste the entire time just making it to the Room of the Ancient Warriors. It would put Brian and Irish to shame in comparison. I hope you cussed him out good for that.

And Cobra Staff is MUCH more exciting than.... Shaka Zulu. Despite Eusinia being easily confused, their path was longer and harder anyways. So victory was already slim enough as it was. And like you said, Eusinia left plenty of time for David to make up for lost time, which he did. Albeit much slower than Eusinia. Plus, at least they reached the artifact at the last second. Cobra Staff is one of my favorite Season 1 episodes ever and it was very exciting the whole way through. I much prefer it over utterly boring episodes like Silver Saddle Horn, Shaka Zulu, and Joan of Arc. In fact, I think I may actually like this failed escape better than Sir Edmund Hilary and Golden Jaguar. It's very exciting and memorable, and a great performance. People just don't like it just because it's a Purple Parrot temple run. It's very underrated and doesn't get nearly enough credit as it deserves.
