Moat Crossing  In this Moat, the teams had to cross the moat by placing an ancient wooden plank between the shores of the Moat and two inflatable lilypads, while sticking together and without touching the water.
Steps of KnowledgeOne of the most famous and talented painters of all time was the artist Hans Holbein. He painted much of the Nobility of Europe, including the notorious Henry VIII, the ruthless Tudor King of England. Henry had six wives. He divorced two, did away with three, and one passed on somewhat mysteriously. Not exactly the ideal husband. Legend has it that after Holbein completed the portrait, King Henry was furious. "How dare you make me look twice as fat as I am! The way you've painted me, I look like Henry XVI! And my face, I suppose you liked my chin so much, you painted two more just like it!" Holbein stood steadfast. "I paint what I see; I can do no less and no more." "I will throw you in irons, boil you in oil, and that's just the good news!" "Well, of course, maybe I can do a little better." Holbein relented, and began painting a new, more flattering portrait, which still hangs in England's Royal Palace. The old painting disappeared for years, until it mysteriously made its way to the Temple.
Temple GamesThe Blue Barracudas are Rachel, who enjoys roller skating and wants to work with dolphins, and Keith, who enjoys soccer and wants to be an actor. The Purple Parrots are Danielle, who enjoys singing and has a dog named Charlie, and James, who is a cross-country runner who participated in a 10k race the day after this episode was filmed. Kibosh on the Portraits (Rolling Drums)[]  Henry hated his first portrait so much, he wanted it destroyed; in this game, Danielle and Keith had to destroy three portraits at separate points. When Kirk gave the signal, they would roll towards the painting at the end and crash through it; then proceed to roll to the beginning to crash through the next one and finally the one in the middle. The first player to destroy all three portraits in 60 seconds would win; Keith won with 25 seconds remaining, awarding the Blue Barracudas a half-Pendant (Danielle smashed the first painting, and had too much trouble trying to move her wheel over the ramp). Facial Features (Rotating Levers)[]Henry VIII wanted to pick and choose his features in hopes of a more flattering portrait; when Kirk gave the signal, James and Rachel would grab a facial feature, then run around and put it on the portrait head. The team that assembled the face in 60 seconds would win; Rachel won 4-1, completing the Blue Barracudas' full Pendant. Statue Slam (Foam Boulder Throwdown)[]Apparently, one of Henry's bitter ex-wives demanded all his statues be destroyed; when Kirk gave the signal, the girls would throw a boulder to their teammates, who would catch it, then fly over to the statues and knock over one. The team that knocked down all six statues within 60 seconds would win; the Blue Barracudas won with 26 seconds remaining, shutting out the Purple Parrots 2-0 (the Purple Parrots only had 4 knocked down).
Temple RunRachel went into the temple first, moving at a decent pace. Choosing to start off by heading up into The Crypt, she immediately encounters the first Temple Guard just after pulling the first book. After giving up her pendant, Rachel pulls on a second book and unlocks the door to The Ledges. While Rachel was debating or not, she should pull on the third book. In the end, she decided to neglect doing so, and descended into The Ledges. Using the upper crawl tube, Rachel then heads into The Pit of the Pendulum where she carefully maneuvers around the platform and then knocks down the column. Unable to get back on the platform, Rachel gets off the rope swing and discovers that the only door that unlocked was the door to The King's Storeroom, leaving her to now climb up The Wall Climb. With Keith cheering her on, Rachel makes back up the platform fairly quickly, though her foot got caught within the ropes while climbing and it slowed her down a bit. But it didn't cost too much time, and Rachel makes her way up into The King's Storeroom. After smashing the three pots, Rachel had a bit of trouble finding the key within the tray. And for an understandable reason, because the key was actually outside of the tray! Luckily, it didn't take Rachel that long to notice it, but she wasn't so lucky as she had to place the key on all three pedestals in order to open The Room of the Ancient Warriors. Once there, Rachel tries the armor on the right first, but when that didn't work, she tried the one in the middle. And while it did open up the door to The Shrine of the Silver Monkey, Rachel was caught by the second temple guard in return. Removing her from the temple with 1:22 remaining. Now it was Keith's turn to enter the temple. While he moved at a faster pace than Rachel, Keith made a few mistakes during his run, he ended up taking the exact direct route that his partner went through, instead of heading directly to The Ledges. And when Keith entered The Room of the Ancient Warriors, he tried the armor on the right despite the door to The Shrine of the Silver Monkey was opened. But even with those blunders, Keith also made some smart moves. When he entered The Shrine, he ended up grabbing all three pieces of the monkey at once and assembles the monkey together at a fast pace. With Rachel cheering him on, Keith heads into The Room of the Secret Password with 31 seconds left. But just before he got to read one of the passwords, the third and final temple guard captures Keith, and he gives up his pendant of life. Quickly shouting the passwords, Keith was able to unlock the door to The Quicksand Bog after shouting the second password: "Long Live Olmec". Now sliding down into the bog, Keith stumbled a bit while trying to bust through The Stone Wall, but eventually he got his footing and busts through the stones and into The Dark Forest. Unfortunately, time ran out shortly after just as Keith found the key within the tree on the left. While both members were shown to make little to no mistakes while completing the objectives within each of the rooms of the temple and knew where to go. But had the two had not made the small mistakes they made, the two could have gotten further into the temple and have a better chance to get to the missing portrait on time. But even if they didn't make those mistakes, the layout was proven to be a hard one, as they were required to go through all (or almost all of) the rooms within the temple just to get to The Chamber of the Sacred Markers. Proving it's no easy feat. even for the fastest contestants to complete on time. Regardless, the two still did a great job trying their best during their temple run.
