It depends on the criteria that is used to identify "the Best Orange Iguanas team" ever. Are you talking about temple run performance only or team performance throughout the entire episode? For example, Paula and Matt from Butch Cassidy won in the temple run with ample time. But their pre-temple performance was actually pretty mediocre (4th in the moat, 2nd in the Steps, won their team game only, and had a pretty easy temple layout.) Here are some teams that I consider to be strong Orange Iguanas teams:
Season 1:
- Albert and Jennifer, Blue Pearl (This one might be questionable since their pre-temple performance was slightly above average. But they were still the best team to enter the temple from this list during Season 1.)
Season 2:
- Kendra and CJ, Golden Stallion (This one might be very surprising, but the Orange Iguanas were first in each of their rounds before the temple run. Kind of hard to judge their temple run though since they didn't make much progress due to a potential production error. They moved a little slow though. But overall performance was pretty strong.)
- Chris and Aqila, Mush Pot Hat (First in the toughest Moat on the show, first in SOK, won 2 Pendants in temple games, and grabbed their artifact with a tricky layout
- Ty and Jennifer, Lucky Medallion (First in a very tough moat, won both of their individual games, and Ty had a dominating performance in the temple. Only weak part is losing their team game and entering temple with 1 Pendant.)
- Jason and Elizabeth, Levitating Dog Leash (They were pretty average pre-temple rounds, but their win was pretty strong.)
Season 3
- Tiffani and Jahmel, Sir Gawain (Pretty strong pre-temple rounds and Tiffani scored a solid solo win. Her layout might've been a little favorable, but she also took shortcuts and was one of the few players to make it back to the platform in the Pit.)
- Mike and Kelli, Judge Roy Bean (Another team that was strong before the temple run. Kelli sucked though in the temple run, but Mike was a very strong player.)
If had to choose Top 3 teams, it would probably be 3/4 of their wins. This is how I would rank them:
1.) Ty and Jennifer, Lucky Medallion
2.) Tiffani and Jahmel, Sir Gawain
3.) Jason and Elizabeth, Dog Leash
