Wow, this was a tough choice for me.

This vote might be a surprise, but I went with Cobra Staff. Both Blue Pearl and Cobra Staff were very similar episodes in my mind. Blue Pearl had a very exciting temple run and the earlier rounds were great, but in the end I like Cobra Staff's episode overall. Cobra Staff is special to me since I remember it from my childhood. Good legend, good steps, very memorable and competitive temple games, and the temple run was a pretty good failed escape. Plus, Albert was more of a lost cause than Eusinia. I love both Blue Pearl and Cobra Staff, but in the end Cobra Staff was the superior episode. And Cobra Staff even ranked in the Episode Ranking thread.
