Rate the Triple Capture Run - Day 14: The Pendant of Kamehameha

[The Red Jaguars]

Here is yet another rating thread, this time around we will rate the temple runs that ended in triple capture. While a temple run ending in triple capture is never a good outcome on the show, at times there were triple capture teams that would've won despite the bad outcome. In this topic, we will determine the best and worst triple capture episodes. When rating the triple capture teams, try taking into account the player performance, half-pendant location, chances at winning, and so on. And try to keep your comparisons between two triple captures when comparing them.

And the first episode up is Lost Taj Mahal Turban.  

[The Red Jaguars]

Lost Taj Mahal Turban gets a 6 from me. This was a pretty forgettable triple capture episode. Dean and Chrystine weren't a bad team, but this temple run was not very exciting at all. I don't have any problems with this one really though. Chrystine did pass the half-pendant, but the locations of it was kind of awkward and you can't blame her for missing it at all. Not that it mattered anyways, because the best the team would've done would be to reach the second prize. And the outcome wasn't that huge of a disaster compared to most, so I can tolerate this one a little more than others.

I also give Taj Mahal Turban a 6. For the same reasons that TRJ stated.

[PurpleParrot4Life]

I gave Lost Taj Mahal Turban of Aurangzeb an 8. I find this run to be pretty good because the team got far with a pretty long layout. Chrystine tried to look for the half pendant, even though it was in an awkward location. And had the team not been caught, they would have at least reached the artifact.

[The Red Jaguars]

I think we can move onto our next triple capture. The Taj Mahal Turban team finishes with a 6.40 final score.

The next temple run will be "Elizabeth I's Golden Ship".

[The Red Jaguars]

I gave the Golden Ship run a 3. This was the quickest temple loss on the show and the team only traveled through 4 rooms. There is really not much to say about this triple capture except that you can't blame Gabby and Joe entirely for their loss. The temple guard placement was a bit unfair, and the half-pendant is not seen on screen. But still, both of them were so slow that they wouldn't have won even if they found the half-pendant. Also, did Joe really think he could get to the Golden Ship from the Wall Climb? Come on now, that would be too obvious. They weren't going to win anyways.

Aurangzeb team got a 6 from me. Same reasons as everyone else who gave them a 6.

Golden Ship team gets a 4 from me. They didn't last long, so it's kind of hard to determine how good or bad they were. However, their speed alone is why I gave them a below average score. It was either a 4 or a 3. My 4 might be a little too generous though.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

I gave them a 4. The temple guard placement was a little harsh, but Gabby and Joe were too slow, they would've lost anyways. And they should know that going from the Wall Climb to the Throne Room would've been too obvious.

[The Red Jaguars]

I think I am ready to move onto the next triple capture. Golden Ship finishes with a 3.80.

Next triple capture we will cover is "The Lost Love Letter of Captain John Smith".

[The Red Jaguars]

I gave the Captain John Smith team a 5. Nothing to say about this team, except that they wouldn't have won even if they found the half-pendant. Derrick moved at an average pace and didn't last long. Whitney moved too slow as a second runner, although she did handle the four snakes Medusa's Lair better than a certain Blue Barracuda. She should've found that half-pendant too. But in her defense, I didn't notice it on the inactive actuator the first time either. Either way, they wouldn't have won anyways with 22 seconds left.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

I gave this team a 5. Nothing special about them, and Whitney should've been able to find that half pendant.

[The Red Jaguars]

Captain John Smith's poll is up. It will finish with a score of 5.20.

Next triple capture is "The Golden Spider Web of Robert the Bruce".

[The Red Jaguars]

I gave Robert the Bruce a 4. I don't know, this temple run is so boring. I know it is exactly similar to "Hans Holbein", but Christine and Jeremy moved a little too slow. Plus, Jeremy struggled in a few rooms like the Shrine too. I had to deduct the point for Jeremy missing the half-pendant also. The layout was impossible though, and they didn't have a chance at winning anyways. With 29 seconds left, they would've made it as far as the Jester's Court. It was a boring and forgettable triple capture altogether.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Who on earth gave them a 7? They are certainly not that great to get a 7....

With that said, I gave them a 5. Neither Jeremy or Christine were that great. They were both too slow, and the run was just plain boring.

[NekoSuave]

I think I'll give them a 4. They were slow, and Jeremy had difficulty in some of the rooms. And he should've found the half-pendant.
