Hey, at least the Purple Parrots get $2,500! But yeah, they’d probably prefer that extra zero on the end. But that stupidly difficult middle section is a piece of cake for Tom - was it always that simple, and only tough for our child brains? - and it’s a real heartbreaker when he ultimately falls one room short of retrieving the Pok-Ta-Pok ball after time runs out. Travis and Tom put up a heck of a fight once they’re in the temple at the very least, Tom absolutely sails through the assembly of the Silver Monkey, which was a source of great stress for anyone playing or watching the original show. (Just like in the original series, though, it all comes down to a tiebreaker trivia question, which still feels a bit lame.) It’s down to the Red Jaguars and Purple Parrots in the best-of-three Temple Games, and the Purple Parrots narrowly emerge victorious with the two Pendants of Life needed to run through Olmec’s temple. Six teams: the Purple Parrots, the Red Jaguars, the Silver Snakes, the Green Monkeys, the Blue Barracudas, and the Orange Iguanas face off in a physical and mental showdown to retrieve an ancient artifact from folklore.
Then, the Steps of Knowledge trip up the Green Monkeys. The Golden Cricket Cage of Khan: Directed by Charles Ciup.
The Blue Barracudas are the first team out, ironically bested by the water-based Moat challenge. And this time around, the competing duos are best friends Travis and Tom (Purple Parrots), soul sisters Jo’el and Dyaman (Red Jaguars), best friends Chelsea and Maddie (Green Monkeys) and roommates John and Connor (Blue Barracudas). Then, in the final round, the remaining duo makes a run through Olmec’s temple, completing various puzzles and obstacles until one of them finds the ancient treasure around which the episode is based.ĭuring Sunday’s premiere, teams are in pursuit of the Lucky Losing Pok-Ta-Pok Ball of the Hero Twins. In each Legends episode, four teams - down from the original series’ six we’ll miss you, Silver Snakes and Orange Iguanas! - compete to win $25,000, which they’ll do by defeating their fellow contestants in physical and mental challenges until they’re the last team standing. Let’s rip open a fresh pack of Dunkaroos, punch in that Capri Sun straw and get to it. Even Dee Bradley Baker is back as the voice of Olmec! So while the whole thing feels a tad hokey at times, I am suddenly back in my childhood living room, watching a new episode after school. But other than those tweaks, the new Legends of the Hidden Temple is a lot like the old Legends of the Hidden Temple. This time, though, the contestants are adults instead of kids it’s essentially the 20- and 30-somethings who wanted to be Blue Barracudas and Green Monkeys in their youth, but are only just now getting the opportunity.Īside from the players’ ages, the major difference in The CW’s version is its host: Comedian and actress Cristela Alonzo ( Cristela, His Dark Materials) takes the hosting reins from Kirk Fogg for this iteration, and she’s not wearing quite enough khaki for my liking. “Legends of the Hidden Temple” still holds a special place in the hearts of millennials who grew up watching the competition series, and it has since inspired a movie, mobile and board games, a popular Halloween costume and repeat episodes still air on occasion, even 30 years later.Holy Olmec, Legends of the Hidden Temple is back.įor children of the ’90s (your recapper among them!), Sunday night was a big deal, as The CW debuted its reboot of Nickelodeon’s beloved 1993-95 game show. With “Legends of the Hidden Temple,” the CW is further amping up and diversifying its alternative programming slate, as well as its target audience. Five teams begin the journey, but only one is “strong enough and smart enough” to enter the ominous Olmec’s Temple, avoid the Temple Guards, retrieve a lost treasure and return it to its rightful owner. These include “Olmec,” the giant talking Mayan head, the “Moat Crossings,” “The Steps of Knowledge,” the “Temple Run,” and all of the original team names like “Purple Parrots,” “Blue Barracudas,” “Orange Iguanas,” “Red Jaguars,” “Silver Snakes” and “Green Monkeys.” This time, the entire show is taken out of the safety of a studio setting into a “mysterious jungle” with tougher challenges and bigger prizes.
Brown, will preserve many of the Nickelodeon series’ iconic elements. Per the logline, the “Legends of the Hidden Temple” remake, based on the game show created by David G.
