Moat CrossingIn this extraordinarily difficult moat crossing, one player holds a long wooden plank steady as the other crosses it. After one teammate is across, he or she holds the board for the other partner to do the same.
Steps of KnowledgeOne of the greatest heroes of Greek mythology was the young adventurer Perseus. To save his mother from a forced marriage to an evil king, Perseus agreed to kill Medusa. Medusa was an ugly monster with hair made of live snakes. Everyone who looked at her turned to stone, and the king knew he was sending Perseus to his death. "No problem," said Perseus, and off he went to Medusa's cave.  "Ssssorry to sssstare," said Medusa, her long locks coiling and writhing. "But you’re kind of ssssweet. Ssssit over here and look into my eyessss." Watching her reflection in his shield, Perseus lopped off her hideous head and took it back to the king as proof. According to legend, the surprised king looked at the head of Medusa and turned to stone. The wedding was off, and Perseus had the stone king reduced to rubble, all except the head.
Temple GamesThe Blue Barracudas are Tony and Heather. The Silver Snakes are Chris and Kristen. Pegasus (Squirting Statue)[]According to myth, when Medusa died, a beautiful winged horse called Pegasus sprang from her neck. Before Chris and Heather stood Pegasus's head. When Kirk gave the signal, each player had to grab a wing, shimmy up his backbone, and place the wing on his shoulder. Of course, Pegasus doesn't like to be mounted by strangers and he would snort and spit at the players, so they had to hold on tight on their way up. The player to place both wings on Pegasus's shoulders or the player furthest along in 60 seconds won. Heather was able to place her second wing before Chris with thirty-two seconds remaining, earning the Blue Barracudas the Half Pendant of Life. Athena's Shield (Mountain)[]Athena helped Perseus with his quest. So in thanks, Perseus brought Medusa's head up to Mount Olympus and gave it to her. Before Kristen and Tony stood a mountain with many holes into which their pegs fit. When Kirk gave the signal, each player had to grab their sack containing Medusa's head, climb the mountain by placing the pegs in the holes, and place sack on Athena's shield. The player to hang Medusa's head on Athena's shield or the player furthest along in 60 seconds won. Although neither player managed to hang the bag on the shield, Tony was ruled to be further along because he was in the process of hanging the sack on shield. Stone King Smash (Slingshot Bowling)[]When Perseus returned and found the royal wedding in progress, he showed the head of Medusa to the evil king and turned him to stone. The teams' task was to finish the job by knocking the statue of the stone king down. When Kirk gave the signal, one player had to load their slingshot and launch the ball at one of the statues on the wall. Then, it was his/her partner's turn to do the same. The team to knock down all four statues or the team furthest along in 60 seconds won. The Blue Barracudas won the game and the full pendant after knocking down three statues down, while the Silver Snakes only managed to knocked down two, Sending the Blue Barracudas to Olmec's Temple with two full pendants. The Silver Snakes did not win any pendants.
Temple RunHeather went into the temple first, moving at a great pace. Starting off by going up into The Crypt, Heather did not pull on all three books from the skeletons. And after trying only two (she never tried the one left of the Temple Guard door), she was able to unlock the door leading down into The Ledges. Jumping down and quickly crawling through the cave, Heather uses the lower crawl tube to enter The Pit of Despair. Deciding to go directly for the stone head, Heather then opens up the door to The Throne Room but ends up getting terrified by the first temple guard who just so happened to be in the room, waiting for her. After giving up her pendant of life, Heather tried to then enter The Swamp. But unsurprisingly, the door remained locked, and this caused Heather to get confused as she didn't know where else to go at first. After stalling for a small chunk of time, the guard himself ended up telling her that she could go up into Medusa's Lair. But before Heather could start putting in the snakes into Medusa's hair, the second temple guard jumped out and captured her, leading her to scream and was then taken out of the temple with 2:07 remaining.   Tony went in next, also moving at a great pace. Choosing to directly follow Heather's path to Medusa's Lair (including unnecessarily entering The Crypt), he made it through every room with no trouble and makes it into Medusa's Lair with 1:29 remaining. Now according to the legend, Perseus had to battle and defeat Medusa in order to save his mother from a forced marriage to an evil king. And while it may have been a daunting but bold task for Perseus, he was able to complete the task with ease. And it looks like Tony will have to face against Medusa as well! But unfortunately for him, he had one of the worst times within Medusa's Lair; at this point in the show's run, a player has to put four snakes into Medusa's head to complete the objective. And while other players have performed this daunting task, Tony took the longest time in order to complete the objective. Despite his best efforts, he was struggling to find which snake goes in what hole. It looks like no hard task goes unpunished, because Medusa was definitely giving Tony a hard time to complete the task! Eventually, he managed to complete the task, but when he first entered the room, he had 1:29 remaining. And by the time he was moving onto The King's Storeroom, he had 18 seconds remaining! Completely frustrated over the time-consuming task, Tony aggressively smashes the middle pot and barely cared that much when the third and final temple guard captured him. Not even looking at the guard even when he gives up his pendant. When Tony goes over to smash the other pots, he held both pot from the top with one hand and shattered them from the side with the other, which sent the key flying. Not knowing which of the pots actually contained the key, Tony slowly walks around for the remainder of time, trying to find out where the key landed. But regardless, time ran out before he could find it. This was another episode that proves that the Temple is a different animal from any of the other challenges. And ironically, the reason what made the team falter was due to the antagonist of the legend themself, Medusa! But luckily in future episodes, the teams will no longer have to put in four snakes into Medusa's head, but instead two.
