Rate the Blue Barracudas Run - Day 19: The Ivory Elephant of Scheherazade

[The Red Jaguars]

I gave Lost Logbooks a 3. What a boring and piss poor temple run. Jessica was a horrible excuse for a second runner. I don't care whether this run ended in triple capture or not, it blew pretty hard. Even if it didn't end in triple capture, the temple run still would've been a loss. Jessica was a lost cause and ruined this run for me. I forget that it even exists too. -_-

I gave it a 2. Yawn, so boring. -_-

Gave it a 3. Not much to really say about it that TRJ didn't already cover.

Lost Logbooks finishes with a 2.75. 

Next up is "The Diary of Dr. Livingstone". 

Episode: "The Diary of Dr. Livingstone"
Artifact Location: Shrine of the Silver Monkey
Players: Brett and Tabitha
Pendants: 2
Outcome: Win!

[The Red Jaguars]

I gave Dr. Livingstone a 6. It was a boring and average win. To this day, I always forget that this episode is a win. The win itself was just plain average, and Tabitha and Brett were even lucky to win. At the end of the day, they did get the job done. But I could care less about their win though and there were a lot of better Blue Barracuda runs out there.

Another 6. Another yawner. Metal Beard and Secret Map were better.

[AimYourBrent]

6 sounds about right!

Dr. Livingstone finishes with a 6.20. 

Next up is "The Mummified Hand of the Egyptian King". 

Episode: "The Mummified Hand of the Egyptian King"
Artifact Location: Dark Forest
Players: Maggie and Josh
Pendants: 1.5
Outcome: Triple capture

[The Red Jaguars]

I gave Mummified Hand a 7. I actually like this temple run despite the disappointing outcome. It was very memorable and unique, and it also had a strong performance. Sarah and Josh were a good team, but lost because of both a situation out of their control and because of a brutal mistake. On one hand, I kind of sympathize with the team because I feel that the pendant drop sort of messed up their strategy and if it never happened, then the outcome would've been better. On the other hand, Josh brought it onto himself by pulling a "Harriet Tubman" and taking the high road with less than a full pendant. So the outcome was mostly Josh's fault. Overall though, I liked this team and they did a solid effort in the temple. And the temple run is pretty exciting and quirky too. Kin of like Great Seal and Kamehameha where the outcome was disappointing, but the team made it an enjoyable run.

Once again with the Fogg Ups. It's Maggie, NOT Sarah.

And I gave them a 6. Boring run, besides the pendant dropping. Seriously, there was nothing special about this run AT ALL. It was memorable sure, but still rather boring everything else aside. I don't blame Maggie for the pendant dropping. That was an accident. Either way, could've been a win, but Josh blew it by taking an alternative route. And this run is as exciting as Kamehameha and Great Seal? I don't know, that's going too far, but your mileage may vary. Great Seal and Kamehameha are in two different leagues. MUCH different leagues than this run. Pendant dropping aside, this temple run was really dull. I don't care how strong the team was.

[AimYourBrent]

I gave them a 6 as well.

Mummified Hand finishes with a 6.25. 

Next up is "The Stone Head of the Evil King".


Episode: "The Stone Head of the Evil King"
Artifact Location: Swamp
Players: Heather and Tony
Pendants: 2
Outcome: Out of Time

[The Red Jaguars]

I gave Stone Head a 2. In the past, I would've shown this run some sympathy because four snakes Medusa was pretty unfair and challenging. But now, I completely hate this run. Why? Heather and Tony only made it through 5 rooms in 3 minutes. They were slow and a clueless team. Tony in particular was very mentally challenged. It should NOT have taken him over a minute to complete Medusa's Lair. Whitney didn't even have as much trouble as him. And then he breaks the pots in the King's Storeroom like a moron. Overall, this was a bad team and a piss poor temple run. And to think they swept the temple games too.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

I gave them a 3. Classic example of wasted potential here. All thanks to Tony. Heather should've gone in second.

[AimYourBrent]

I was a little more sympathetic and gave it a 4 because of crazy Medusa and because Heather was a pretty decent player.
