Classic show to reference: Olmec and the gang.

If you don't know what show I'm talking about already, then you, my friend, need a crash course.
The classic game show Legends of the Hidden Temple hosted by Kirk Fogg, who was a childhood version of Jeff Probst, put up six teams that comprised of a color scheme and an animal.
Some of the time, the team name made sense. There are purple parrots. Blue barracudas are possible. Orange iguanas are awesome looking.

The other three remaining teams were likely one of the writers on an acid trip.
Silver snakes? Alliteration is cute, but the correct term would be albino.
A red jaguar?

Doesn't look like an animal to me.

And my favorite team name that didn't make sense: green monkeys. No alliteration even like the other two that don't make sense. Just a random color with an animal. Brown wasn't even used yet, which would have worked. Guess that would've been racist.

So the game starts with the six teams crossing a moat. The purple parrots fell into the moat at least four times a race. Fogg always said to never count them out though.

After the treacherous moat was the steps of knowledge. Pee break of the show. Olmec, which by the way I haven't even thrown an image up of yet, would tell a story of some ancient doofus who lost something. Here's a  look at our favorite stoney.

After two teams walked down three stairs it was time for a heads up duel. This would determine the pendants of life and who would go on to the temple.Olmec would throw in a story to tie in each game but the teams had to do these three things: stay on top of log that functioned like a mechanical bull, drop something into a basket in a bizarre way, and glide down a temple version of slip n slide.

Tie one game and you get a half pendant, win you get a whole, A half pendant was about as useful as Kirk Fogg trying to makes these games sound interesting.

TEMPLE TIME!

Here's how this went down: jump into ball pit. Then go into Madusa's lair and put some snakes into her hair. Go into a neon lit room and make some bizarre formations against a wall. Travel  into swamp where you put your hands in the mouth of a tree and oh no! A TEMPLE GUARD HID IN THE TREE AND HUGGED YOU!!!!!!!!! The girl gives up the pendant, (Why did the girl always go first? They always got caught because they just walked through the damn thing. The boy was left with 20 seconds every time and no pendant.) and on to the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. Three pieces these geniuses couldn't put together. This monkey was so hard to put together that even Superdude would have trouble with.

And if you won, you got to go here!
