The Emotional Rollercoaster That Is "Legends Of The Hidden Temple"

Growing up watching endless hours of Nickelodeon, there is no way you didn't want to be on Legends of the Hidden Temple. As I watched, I would pick my favorite team in the hopes that a Temple guard wouldn't scare them to death and they make it to Space Camp, this is my journey of emotions.

Stuck inside on a rainy day, flipping through the channels like this.

Then your life is MADE, bring on scary ass Olmec and Kirk either flying down the stairs or swinging through like Yoncé at the Mrs. Carter World Tour.

Okay but calm it down and pick your team...is it gonna be the Red Jaguars, Blue Barracudas, Green Monkeys, Orange Iguanas, Purple Parrots or Silver Monkeys? Who is going to make it across the moat?

Oh today is the day they pick the hardest moat challenge huh? C'mon kids!

So I go ahead and pick the Silver Monkeys because they always seem to win. Shortly after I choose them, one of em falls right in the water....I have to make a quick switch!!!

Okay my new team has made it, bring on the next round! C'mon Red Jaguars!

Now is the part that equally creeps me out and bores me. No one else is freaked out by Olmec and his light up eyes??

My new team is just standing there getting ALL the questions wrong or answering in too late. Stomp your feet and make those steps light up dammit! *face palm*

Now I have to pick a new team AGAIN...I'm going to go with the Green Monkeys, final answer!

I have no loyalty and I am okay with that.

As much crap as I talk, I would fail miserably during this challenge. So I would hope my partner could get it together! WE NEED ALL THE PENDANTS!

The team that I've been partially here for from the start has made it! The interaction between my partner and I wouldn't look like this though.

This would be us. This is serious. I'm trying to get a CD player, the encyclopedia set and go to space camp. THIS ISN'T JUST A GAME.

Just get through the maze in 3 minutes and all will be well. But its never well because of THIS.

TEMPLE GUARDS! Who are these grown ups and why are they here to stop your heart? It's cruel! I would old lady baptist church fall out or pee my pants, yet and still I yell at the screen for this child to "MAN UP" and keep it moving!

AND THIS.

The silver freaking monkey. It was 3 pieces of pure hell. It looks so easy to put together but clearly proved to stump almost every kid who went in that room. There is seriously an episode I remember where the girl drops the piece off the ledge to the lower level. She is probably still hurt about it.

I'm OVER IT. My team loses. Whyyyy? Why didn't you prepare?

You had on the comfy yellow sweatpants. You have youth on your side. You've got this far to fail? Did you not want to go to Space Camp?!

As the credits roll, I regain my composure only to see that there is another episode coming up. Do I watch and put myself through this all over again? OF COURSE! Let the games begin!
