Moat CrossingIn this moat crossing, teammates must cross the water one at a time by squirming through a series of rubber tubes.
Steps of KnowledgeThe most ruthless and feared leader of the mid-400's was the conqueror Attila the Hun. He organized his nomadic people into a fierce army that looted and burned its way across Europe like a great wave. They were poised outside the gates of the most powerful city in the world -- Rome. Before him stood the captured local Chieftain and his beautiful daughter. The girl said, "Most Excellent Mr. Hun, if you will spare my father's life, I will become your wife." "Tell you what, let's compromise. I'll marry you, but I'll do away with your father anyway." "That's treachery, my Lord!" "Isn't it wonderful?! Take them away!" "Why so cranky, my Lord?" asked Og, his adviser. "The heat. Who can conquer the world in this humidity? Look at me, I'm sweating like a pig. What's the forecast for tomorrow?" "According to the entrails, more of the same," said Og. Attila threw down his goblet in disgust. "That's it, we're outta here." And he went back to Budapest so fast, he forgot his golden goblet.
Temple GamesThe Red Jaguars are Taylor and Rachelle. The Purple Parrots are Jill and Brett. Army Finance (Tilt Swing)[]When Attila conquered a city, he would take all of the gold to finance his army. When Kirk gave the signal, Taylor and Jill each had to jump up to the top of the ruined column, grab a piece of gold and drop it in their bucket then jump up and grab another piece. The player with the most gold in their bucket in 60 seconds won. Taylor won the game after dropping three pieces of gold in his bucket over while Jill only scored two, earning Taylor a half pendant of life. Huns' Horses (Spinning Horse)[]The Huns were strong horsemen and could ride long distances to do battle. Here, Rachelle and Brett had to prove their horsemanship. When Kirk gave the signal, the horse beneath each player would start spinning. The player who stayed on the horse in 60 seconds or the player who stayed on the longest won. Rachelle fell off with 29 seconds of spare time, awarding Brett a half pendant of life. Attila the Conqueror (Sack Swing)[]Attila the Hun conquered cities by smashing their defenses. Here, the teams had to defeat an army just like Attila did. One player was suspended in a sack. When Kirk gave the signal, her partner had to swing her at the enemy soldiers. The team to knock down all three soldiers or the team to knock down the most soldiers in 60 seconds won. Both teams tied with one soldier knocked down, awarding each of them a full pendant of life and therefore leading to a tie. Tiebreaker[]Olmec: "Which of these terms defines the Hun's movement towards Europe: Migration, Stagnation or Invitation?" Taylor correctly answered "Migration", sending him and Rachelle to the Temple in search of the golden goblet.
Temple RunIn this run, Rachelle seemed to be fairly smart. Besides being a bit hesitant about which doors to go through, she had a good map of the Temple in her head and completed most of the objectives at a good pace. Starting out in The Crypt, Rachelle successfully opens up the door to The Pit after pulling on only one book from the skeletons. Then in The Pit, Rachelle swings across and unlocks the door leading up to The Observatory. However, while heading up there, Rachelle slowed down a bit, but once she arrived at The Observatory to align the stone column, she completed the objective very quickly and unlocks the door leading down to Medusa's Lair. But even after noticing that the door was opened, Rachelle still looked around to see if the door leading down to The King's Storeroom had opened. And after stalling for a few seconds, she made her way down to Medusa's Lair where she encountered the first temple guard, making her scream with fright. After forking over her pendant of life, Rachelle quickly put the two snakes into Medusa's hair, but none of the doors had opened after placing them in. After pushing them further into Medusa's hair, some of the doors finally opened. However, Rachelle attempted to go back at first after noticing the door to The Pit was opened, but once she quickly realized her mistake, she headed down instead into The Laser Light Room. In the room, Rachelle uncovered the white light after pulling out the fifth block and unlocked the door to The Jester's Court. However, she still hesitated on where to go, and after stalling again for a few seconds, Rachelle made her way into The Jester's Court. In the room, she had a bit of trouble aligning herself with the middle wall painting with her having to turn around to adjust herself in order to press the three buttons. However, it was the painting on the right that opened up the doors. And with that, Rachelle decided to climb up into The King's Storeroom. Luckily, she was able to find a key within the first pot she smashes, but it was the third pedestal that allowed her access into The Shrine of the Silver Monkey. With Taylor cheering and applauding her on, Rachelle made her way into the room to assemble the monkey. Despite having no problems assembling the statue, she did not complete the objective in time, with Rachelle having the head twisted on the statue and being one room away from the goblet. Overall, Rachelle did a great job clearing out eight rooms within the temple and doing so at a moderate pace. But it was unfortunately the brutal layout that costed them a chance to grab the goblet.
