Its been a while since I have done a set of rankings, so I did the first production day of season three to try and get back into it. I only did the first two episodes of the production day.

Overall: 4.75NOTES:This episode was terrible and both teams were not that great at all. I almost fell asleep watching this episode because its so bad and boring. The first two rounds, both the Red Jaguars and Orange Iguanas were both about on the same pace with each other. They were nothing special, but it was good enough for them to advance to the temple games.
The temple games were terrible though. The Red Jaguar boy was so pathetic in his temple game. He couldn't even pull himself up through the first hole in the human maze temple game! Thomas was not even trying hard either, but he looked amazing compared to the Red Jaguar boy. The team game was equally as bad where both teams struggled to make it through the maze.
And Oh God, the temple run... was just cringeworthy. Veronica takes forever to climb the wall in the Pit, she moves slow, AND she runs into the King's Storeroom for no reason instead of backtracking to the Chamber. Thomas shows us that he is equally as clueless and pulls on the Crypt books and runs into the same deadend that his partner ran into. Both of them were lost causes.
Overall, this was a terrible episode and I remember why I hate it.

Overall: 7.00NOTES:
Let's cut to the chase, the Red Jaguars were no match for Olivia and Jonathan. Aside from the Steps, they were a pretty dominant team in the entire episode. They came close to coming first in the moat, swept the temple games, and almost escaped with a center of the temple victory.
The Red Jaguars were no match for the Green Monkeys in the temple games. Jonathan and Olivia dominated their individual game, and both of them were pretty damn good in the team game. Olivia had good aiming when it came to knocking down the soldiers.
The temple run for this episode was pretty good minus the obvious mistakes both contestants made. Olivia wasted too much time in the Pit when all she had to do was run down into the Tomb. Jonathan was very fast and smart, but he stalled in the Room of the Ancient Warriors when the first suit of armor he tried opened the Chamber door. All mistakes aside, both players reached an artifact from the center of the temple AND almost won. And we complain how "The Marble Armrest of Xerxes" kids had a tough layout. Well, this team had an almost identical layout AND they still managed to reach the artifact.
Overall, I enjoyed this episode and forgot how good it was.

Overall: 7.5NOTES:This was about an average episode and nothing really special. I felt like both of these teams scraped by each round of the temple in a way. But overall, they had some good performances.
Jeremy and Joe were both dominant in their individual games, while Elise and Julian's temple game were close but both of them had a hard time finding pairs for their rocks. (To be fair, this temple game was pretty bad because it was hard for the girls to memorize where a rock was placed due to them constantly changing positions.) The Silver Snakes looked pretty mediocre in the team emple game though where Elise kept dropping the rings and could not get one of the rings on the pillar.
Ultimately, the Silver Snakes won the tiebreakers. I felt that they were the better team in the end anyways, so no complaint about them going to the temple. As for the temple run, both contestants did well despite the circumstance they faced. Jeremy was fast and made it one room away with about a minute left. Elise, despite getting screwed out of 30 seconds, still managed to reach the Room of the Secret Password. They might've won if it wasn't for the Tomb of the Headless Kings door getting stuck.
Overall, it was about an average episode.

Overall: 7.13NOTES:Ah, the episode I have seen so many times.
To be honest, the Orange Iguanas did not look too impressive in the temple games. In the human maze game, it looked like Tiffani was taking her time to get through the holes. The Purple Parrot girl was not much faster, but she at least was trying a little harder. The second temple game with the boulder was so badly coordinated. I mean the "mace" was not even working half of the time. I guess that was the first time this temple game was used? And finally, the Purple Parrots missed a lot of their cups in the team game. But Tiffani once again messed up the team game because she was taking her time putting the cups into the bucket. Overall though, Orange managed to beat Purple.
And now for the temple run. Tiffani was pretty slow in the temple and she got lucky with her temple guard placement. But she also did many things right in the temple including making it back to the platform and taking the Dark Forest shortcut. And not only that, she dragged that huge ass Helmet out of the temple and still managed to win. Taking all of this into account, she did a solid job in the temple and I gave her a relatively good score.
