Legends Temple Run Elimination Thread - Season One - Worst Runs

[Purple Parrots Fan]

"The Oracle Bowl of Delphi" takes the #4 spot. Just like with "Alhambra," Shane was the redeeming quality in this episode. It was Jackie who ruined the whole run. The Top 3 runs remaining, have NO redeeming qualities whatsoever. This run was pretty pathetic, but this should have been eliminated sooner.

#4: The Oracle Bowl of Delphi
#5: The Lucky Pig of Amelia Earhart
#6: The Keys to the Alhambra
#7: The Stolen Arm of Shiva
#8: Elizabeth I's Golden Ship
#9: The Silver Saddle Horn of Hannibal
#10: The Treasure Map of Jean Lafitte
#11: The Codebook of Mata Hari
#12: The Lost Logbooks of Magellan
#13: The Stone Marker of Leif Ericson
#14: Ponce de Leon and the Lost Fountain of Youth
#15: Wild Bill Hickok and the Dead Man's Hand

1x01 - Blackbeard's Treasure Map
1x05 - John Henry's Lost Hammer
1x06 - The Golden Cricket Cage of Khan

I know which run is going to be in the final two. However, who will be there with it? Taking 3rd place is:

John Henry's Lost Hammer. I'm telling you, this wasn't easy. However, the reason I'm giving this run 3rd is because it AT LEAST had one fairly good player (Billy), whereas the other two runs either had horrendous players (Sabrina, John, and Tia) or a player that didn't even get to prove their worth (James). So Lost Hammer does have a redeeming factor in it, and it's Billy. He saved this run from being an absolute complete disaster. Seriously, how dumb do you have to be to NOT know how to push a button? If there's one good thing I can say about Kim, it's that she at least knew how the Room of the Three Gargoyles worked.

#3: John Henry's Lost Hammer
#4: The Oracle Bowl of Delphi
#5: The Lucky Pig of Amelia Earhart
#6: The Keys to the Alhambra
#7: The Stolen Arm of Shiva
#8: Elizabeth I's Golden Ship
#9: The Silver Saddle Horn of Hannibal
#10: The Treasure Map of Jean Lafitte
#11: The Codebook of Mata Hari
#12: The Lost Logbooks of Magellan
#13: The Stone Marker of Leif Ericson
#14: Ponce de Leon and the Lost Fountain of Youth
#15: Wild Bill Hickok and the Dead Man's Hand

1x01 - Blackbeard's Treasure Map
1x06 - The Golden Cricket Cage of Khan

I figured that these would be the final two runs, so I set up the poll that will expire in 24 hours.

Here are the two finalists FWIW:

Blackbeard's Treasure Map
The Golden Cricket Cage of Khan

[PurpleParrot319]

FWIW?

[The Red Jaguars]

FWIW = For What Its Worth

[PurpleParrot319]

Oh.

And instead of keeping my vote anonymous, I will just flat out reveal my vote.

I voted for "The Golden Cricket Cage of Khan" as it is easily the worst temple run on the entire show. John and Tia were terrible and its very mind blowing how these two made it to the temple. And when they get into the temple, they only cover FOUR rooms in three minutes? Seriously? How can you be that bad? Let's see why:

John got lost in one of the most simple rooms in the temple. When the direct path didn't work for him, what does he do? He decides to go back to the Cave of Sighs, as if that was going to add progress towards the artifact. When he was taken out of the temple, it was like a godsend to the audience.

BUT WAIT! Tia is actually worse than John and was even more clueless. She gets lost in the Heart Room and tries going into the Observatory from the Heart Room crawlspace. She makes no progress from the Heart Room either and ends her run by messing around in the Pit.

I would've burned this tape and redone the entire episode if I were the producers. Seriously, they were that bad.

"Blackbeard's Treasure Map" was pathetic also. But at least that team went to the temple with two pendants. And it was Sabrina's fault that it ended like this also. She never fully tried the actuator in the Wheel Room. Plus, she got lost in the Heart Room and just basically gave up from there. But she did cover more rooms than the two jokes in "Cricket Cage". Plus, I don't think her partner would've been anywhere near as incompetent as John and Tia were.

So yeah, this vote was easy for me.

I'll do the same thing as TRJ and reveal my vote. It should be obvious though, but I voted for Khan as well. Worst.Run.Ever!

[Radman]

I knew these two were gonna be the final 2! I just knew it!

[Purple Parrots Fan]

I figured Alhambra and Cricket Cage would take the final 2. I also voted for Cricket Cage, for all the same reasons. There's definitely no need to keep THIS vote anonymous.

[The Red Jaguars]

I went ahead and revealed the choices since we all knew who would end up winning!  Meanwhile, its onto season 3!

And before I forget, here are my personal rankings:

#1: The Golden Cricket Cage of Khan (Shouldn't finish in any other place than first)
#2: Blackbeard's Treasure Map (good enough)
#3: John Henry's Lost Hammer (good enough)
#4: The Oracle Bowl of Delphi (place at #6)
#5: The Lucky Pig of Amelia Earhart (one higher. I know it was a hard layout, but there is no excuse for Kristen wasting 3 minutes in the temple. She was so stupid and got lost in easy rooms like the Dungeon and Treasure Room)
#6: The Keys to the Alhambra (one higher)
#7: The Stolen Arm of Shiva
#8: Elizabeth I's Golden Ship (good)
#9: The Silver Saddle Horn of Hannibal (a few lower)
#10: The Treasure Map of Jean Lafitte (one higher)
#11: The Codebook of Mata Hari (spot #13 or 14)
#12: The Lost Logbooks of Magellan (spot #15 would be good)
#13: The Stone Marker of Leif Ericson (place at spot 10)
#14: Ponce de Leon and the Lost Fountain of Youth (not botton 15 material)
#15: Wild Bill Hickok and the Dead Man's Hand (not bottom 15 material)

I would've probably placed "The Paintbrush of Leonardo Da Vinci" in the bottom 15 list somewhere too. Probably right below "Leif Erickson".
