First up is the best win award.  

[The Red Jaguars]

I voted for Lawrence of Arabia as the best win on the show. This episode contains everything that you want to look for in a good episode. Strong team performance, exciting temple run, nail biter ending, and it was an all around great run. This is my favorite win on the show. All three of these wins are amazing though.

It goes:

Lawrence of Arabia > Annie Taylor > Apanuugpak for me.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

I personally voted for Annie Taylor. Missy was the perfect contestant, and honestly this win deserves it more than Lawrence of Arabia and Apanuugpak. I would even go as far as calling Lucky Pillow "the best temple run ever."

[JCW555]

I voted for the Lucky Pillow of Annie Taylor simply because Missy was so awesome in the temple, and it's a win I remember like the back of my hand.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

I like how the votes vary for once, instead of it being a one sided poll. When's the last time that happened?

[PurpleParrot319]

I went with Apanuugpak. All 3 runs are great, but I just feel the Apanuugpak run was more balanced with the better all around team effort. With Lawrence of Arabia, Candace struggled a bit at the start. David also didn't take any shortcuts until the Shrine-Ancient Kings door opened up. With Lucky Pillow, only Missy entered the temple and while it was an outstanding solo effort, I feel that she could've moved a little faster. As for Apanuugpak, both players did a great job. Amanda moved at a good pace and really had no struggles at all. Then Gator comes in and owns everything in this tough layout. I feel this layout was the toughest of the three.

That's why I picked Apanuugpak. It has nothing to do with last second drama or a heart felt performance. I looked at this whole thing from an aesthetic perspective and in my opinion, Apanuugpak is the best in that regard.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Honestly, Amanda really wasn't all that fast. In fact, she moved pretty slow and stalled through some rooms. Yet everyone picks on Miriam for doing the same thing, but Amanda gets nothing but praise. In my opinion, a heart felt performance by Missy, and her well deserved solo run, deserves to win more than a temple run where only the second runner owned everything. I'd much rather look at a nervous wreck, heartfelt performance, than a temple run where only one player was good. In Apanuugpak, only Gator was good. Amanda was just average and honestly, a little overrated. Just like in Lawrence of Arabia, only David was good, but Candace was just average. So thus, Lucky Pillow deserves to win more.

[Red Jaguars Fan]

I have never voted in any of these.

And I think I just broke the three way tie. I chose Annie Taylor because Missy was just great throughout the whole run. Even though David and Gator were fantastic, their partners could've singlehandedly made their respective runs losses.

[JCW555]

Honestly I was torn between Mussel Shell Armor of  Apanuugpak [Apanukpak] or Lucky Pillow of Annie Taylor. Both were phenomenal temple runs respectively, but due to Missy's passion, and the fact that she did it solo pushed it over the edge for me. 

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Same time posting.

I have never voted in any of these.

And I think I just broke the three way tie. I chose Annie Taylor because Missy was just great throughout the whole run. Even though David and Gator were fantastic, their partners could've singlehandedly made their respective runs losses.

Exactly. That's the precise reason I didn't vote for Lawrence of Arabia or Apanuugpak. Granted, Lucky Pillow was a solo victory, but that temple run was just flawless, period.

And I love how it's STILL a tie despite this poll having 8 votes. But not that I'm complaining, since like I said before, it's better than it being a complete shut out like it usually is.

[JCW555]

And while I love Lawrence of Arabia's Headdress (hell, it's one of my favorite Legends episodes of all time), it had a sort of simplistic layout, which is why I didn't vote for it.

[The Red Jaguars]

Wow, the final results are very close.  Which is expected, considering all 3 wins are considered the best ones from their respective seasons. And nice to see a lot of people vote in this poll too. I wish there was a way to think of a tiebreaker right now, but I will save that  for down the road. Lawrence of Arabia and Annie Taylor will both hold the "Best Temple Win" title.   

Next up is the "Worst Temple Win" featuring Shaka Zulu, Butch Cassidy, and Roland. I don't see this one being as close as the last one. 

[The Red Jaguars]

I went with Shaka Zulu for this one. This win was way too easy, and Bobby still didn't do that great in completing it. Sure he had the fastest time, but all he had to do was enter a bunch of hit the actuator rooms. The fact that this win gets praised way too much makes me sick of even seeing it. Honestly, I like to consider Roland the fastest win on the show.

Roland >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Butch Cassidy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Shaka Zulu

[JCW555]

I also went with the Mask of Shaka Zulu. The only thing impressive about that run is that Bobby went through the Holes of Python twice. That's it.

[PurpleParrot319]

I'm absolutely shocked Apanuugpak didn't at least tie for the most votes. That just irks me for some reason. The true best win didn't get the most votes. That's just wrong.

Anyway, Shaka Zulu for worst win. No reason needed. Should be obvious.
