In Legends of the Hidden Temple season 1 episode 17, entitled "Episode 017," six teams of two young contestants compete in a series of physical and mental challenges to advance to the final round and potentially win the grand prize of a trip to space camp. The teams are named after mythical creatures, including the Blue Barracudas, Green Monkeys, Purple Parrots, Red Jaguars, Orange Iguanas, and Silver Snakes.
The episode begins with the teams running through a jungle course, dodging obstacles such as swinging vines and avoiding a large boulder. Once they reach the end, they must navigate through a maze to retrieve a hidden treasure chest. The first few teams to complete the challenge move on to the next round, while the losing teams are eliminated.
In the second round, the remaining teams compete in a game of "Temple Games" where they must complete a series of mental and physical challenges. These challenges include solving a puzzle, carrying heavy objects across a balance beam, and running on a treadmill while being pelted with water balloons. The winners of these games are awarded pendants of life, which they can use in the final round to protect them from being taken out of the game.
The final round is set in the temple itself, where the teams must navigate through various rooms and complete challenges to find the hidden artifact – a silver monkey statue. Along the way, they must avoid "temple guards" who are lurking in different chambers and try to snag the contestants and take them out of the game. The team who retrieves the monkey and exits the temple the fastest wins the grand prize.
Throughout the episode, the host, Kirk Fogg, provides commentary and encouragement for the young contestants. The challenges are designed to test their physical stamina and mental acuity, but they are also geared towards providing an entertaining and engaging experience for the young viewers watching at home.
Overall, Legends of the Hidden Temple season 1 episode 17 is a thrilling and action-packed competition between six teams of young contestants. The challenges are designed to be both entertaining and challenging, and the show provides a fun and engaging experience for viewers of all ages.
