According to an interview with the host of Legends of the Hidden Temple, Mark Fogg, the show’s producers had only budgeted to give out eight grand prizes each season, resulting in something like 30 winners over 120 episodes. I don’t know if they accounted for that by purposefully making the temple really difficult to start with or if there was behind the scenes shenanigans when they knew they needed the kids to lose that episode (ever wonder how they determine the placement of the temple guards?) but it’s something to think about, and maybe not just the kids are to blame when they couldn’t solve a simple 3 piece puzzle.
Jeeze. That’s nuts. Much like reality TV, I imagine there’s a fair amount of social engineering that went into pulling contestants as well as impeding them from victory.
