Moat Crossing Stuart and Jamea hitting their gong. One at a time, each contestant must hang from the rod from their hands and feet to shinny across the moat.
Steps of KnowledgeOne of the greatest daredevils of all time was Annie Taylor. When she turned 50 (really 63), she decided to be the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. She had a carriage maker build a strong barrel with a harness to hold her in place. "This is madness!" said the county coroner when he heard of her plans. "You must not do it!" But Annie would not listen. With a crowd watching, Annie climbed inside her barrel, strapped herself in and put a heart-shaped red satin pillow behind her head. She bobbed through the waves, swept over the falls, and crashed below. The barrel held and floated ashore and Annie emerged uninjured. According to legend, a reporter asked, "How did you do it?" "My lucky pillow," Annie said, holding it aloft. The town put up a plaque for Annie's accomplishment, but her lucky pillow was soon forgotten.
Temple GamesThe Purple Parrots are Stuart and Jamea. The Blue Barracudas are John and Missy. Climb the Cliffs (Climbing Wall)[]  Annie Taylor was the first person to go over Niagara Falls. Before John and Jamea stood the cliffs of Niagara. When Kirk gave the signal, they had to push on the cliff to create a hand- or foot-hold, and pull themselves up. Once at the top, they had to grab the hanger and ride the waterfall back down with it. The player to land with the hanger or the player furthest along in 60 seconds won. Neither player made it to the top, but Jamea was further along, awarding her a half pendant of life. Stop the Leaks (Plugging Holes)[]  For her trip over the falls, Annie Taylor had an extra strong, leak-proof barrel constructed. Before Missy and Stuart were boxes which could at any moment, spring a leak from any of the five holes. Their task was to predict where the leak might be and plug it before it occurs. When Kirk gave the signal, they had to plug the hole where they think the leak would spring. If either of them were right, nothing would happen. Otherwise, they would be squirted. After each leak, they had to remove their stoppers and start again. The player with the most correct predictions in 60 seconds won. Stuart won the game after stopping the leak five times over Missy who stopped the leak only once, earning him a half pendant of life. Niagara River (Boat)[]  Annie Taylor pushed off into the Niagara River above the falls, then floated her way through the rapids and over the edge. All the teams had to do was go through the rapids and come back. When Kirk gave the signal, each team had to push their boat off, and go through the rapids. They had to make sure the bow of their boat crossed the rope line. When it did, they had to turn the boat around, row to the life preserver, grab it, and pull themselves back to safety. The first team to make it back to the dock won. If either team touched the floor, they would have been pulled back to the rope line to start again. The Blue Barracudas made it back with thirty-one seconds of spare time, awarding them a full pendant of life and therefore leading to a tie. Tiebreaker[]Olmec: "Do the Great Lakes empty into the Mississippi River, the St. Lawrence River, or the Delaware River?" John rang in and correctly answered "The Saint Lawrence River" sending him and Missy to Olmec's Temple in search of the heart-shaped pillow.
Temple RunMissy decided to go first, moving a decent pace. While Missy was nervous throughout the entire episode and even leading up to the temple run. But little did she know, Missy would become the first contestant to overcome the difficulties of retrieving an artifact from the central room of the temple. Starting off by sliding down the slide into The Ledges, and crawling through the cavern, Missy was able to enter The Pit of Despair by using the lower crawl tube.  Missy gives her pendant to the Temple Guard.   Missy grabbing the heart-shaped pillow.   John and Missy hugging.
