Top Filming Locations. Legends Of The Hidden Temple is a reboot of the Nickelodeon game show, only this time around the contestants are adults instead of kids. Hosted by Cristela Alonzo, four teams of two — friends, coworkers, relatives — go through four challenges to try to reach the Hidden Temple. Opening Shot: A gong bangs, and we see the scenes from the first episode as the contestants make their way through some plant life. At the end of each round, the team that comes in last is eliminated; eventually one team plays for the grand prize.
Typically, if a team member falls in the water, that partner or occasionally both teammates has to go back and try again until successful. The first four teams to cross the moat and hit their gongs advanced to the second round. Olmec begins the Steps of Knowledge by telling the three remaining teams the episode's legend. After finishing, he asks the teams a series of questions to test their memories.
Each multiple-choice question has three possible answers. A team who knows the answer buzzes in by stomping down on an "ancient marking" on their step, causing the front of their step to illuminate. If Olmec is still in the middle of asking the question, he would stop talking immediately. If a team answers correctly, they move down to the next level. If a team answers incorrectly or takes too long to answer three seconds after being called upon , the other teams have a chance to answer.
A question is thrown out when two of its three choices were eliminated by incorrect answers. The first two teams to step down to the bottom level by answering a total of three questions correctly moves on to the next round.
The Temple Games round was introduced as a turning point in the episode away from the unpredictable Moat and mind games of the Steps of Knowledge.
Here, "the glory [went] to the fastest and the strongest" as the two remaining teams competed for two pendants of life in two physical challenges. Currently, Cristela Alonzo hosts the CW series , bringing her own particular personality to the wacky gameplay, but what about the original cost, Kirk Fogg? His enthusiasm was just as integral to the success of the series as Olmec's monologues, so why not get him to co-host? TMZ caught up with Fogg recently to chat about the possibility of coming to work on the CW reboot, and by all accounts, he'll be returning for more than a few episodes, sharing hosting responsibilities with Alonzo.
Since the series is already aimed at viewers who watched the original as children, this would do a lot to keep their interest. Though the series only ran a handful of years, it had an incredibly loyal fanbase who never missed an opportunity to cheer on the Blue Barracudas, Red Jaguars, and Purple Parrots to victory. Finding out what happened to some of the previous contestants would be a fun way to tie into the original series and compare their efforts with current contestants.
In the same interview with TMZ , Fogg seemed to indicate that old contestants would be returning to the show as special guests. The real question on viewers' minds — is twenty years a sufficient amount of time to figure out how to put the Silver Monkey idol together?
Reality TV series and game shows follow very different formats, but increasingly the two styles of entertainment have blended, with the reality TV approach ensuring viewers learn a lot more about game show contestants than ever before.
The CW series seems to want to replicate successful versions of this amalgamation by using some of the most dangerous reality TV series like American Ninja Warrior and The Amazing Race as templates.
In order to accomplish this, a balance would need to be struck, because sometimes providing background for contestants including dramatic personal stories can take precedence over the programming.
In the event that the two teams' pendant totals were tied after the three games, Fogg or, later in seasons 2 and 3 Olmec asked a tiebreaker question to determine the winner. A "tiebreaker pedestal" was brought out, and the first team to hit the button on top of their gong earned the chance to answer the question.
The team would have three seconds to answer, and their first response had to be accepted. A correct answer allowed the team to go to the Temple. In Season 1, an incorrect answer or running out of time automatically awarded the other team passage to the Temple, but in the second and third seasons, the other team simply received an opportunity to answer the question correctly.
In the final round, often known as the Temple Run, the winning team took whatever Pendants of Life they had most commonly, a full pendant and half of the second into the temple.
The temple consisted of 12 to 13 rooms, depending on the layout, each connected by a doorway which may or may not have been open during the game, depending on the setup used that day. One room in the labyrinth had the themed artifact; three rooms held Temple Guards spotters in lavish Mayan sentinel costumes.
If the winning team had an incomplete pendant, the remaining half-pendant would be in a room as well. However, if the team had only one pendant going into the temple, there would be no hidden pendant. In that case, if the second player ran into a Guard, the game would end.
The winning team had three minutes to retrieve the artifact. One player was sent in first, with a complete pendant. The second player remained outside the Temple gate to watch the first player's progress. In each room, completing a puzzle or accomplishing a task would unlock a door to another room.
For example, the Shrine of the Silver Monkey held three pieces of a silver monkey statue, and completing the statue would unlock a door. The Jester's Court had buttons placed along the walls outlining images of two court jesters and one king. One of these sets of 3 buttons opened a door to an adjacent room; posing in the position of the correct outline and pressing the buttons opened the door. When a player encountered one Guard, the player was forced to give up a full pendant in order to continue or if caught without a pendant be taken out of the temple.
The second player now had the chance to enter, with all opened doors remaining open and all known Temple Guards nonexistent. If the second player possessed only half a Pendant of Life, a Temple Guard could catch him or her and end the game.
