At the end of E2, Green put down all their pieces on the board. Brown put down all but one. (They had one in their hands.)
JD flipped the pyramids over one by one and Brown won. But... if Green had won, they'd pick up all the pieces on the board, leaving Brown with one. (At the end of E2, Max is seen putting down a piece, then hugging Jenna.)
But suppose this:
There was no more pyramids to flip over, so Brown would have put down their piece, leaving them with 0. Green would put down a few pieces, and they would have a few left over.
The pyramids being flipping over...suppose Brown wins on their last piece (from above.).. They'd pick up all the pieces and they'd start anew.
Anyone still with me? It could have been quite possible that the game could have gone on in a tie for a very long time. Not likely, as someone would have eventually won, but they could have gone back and forth, back and forth.... |

the thing is why would endurance want max and jenna to win it all? i didn't rele watch a lot of e2 (i think i saw about 3 eppys) but when i found out that brown won the first thing i thought was "omg, the endurance ppl are probably feeling a little embarrassed now" cuz i didn't think that they expected the brown team to actually win, cuz after all, IT IS e2 not e1, and now since they won it might seem like it was unfair to bring them back because they were stronger and more experienced, etc, and to prove it - they won! from the eppys i saw i think green should have won but oh well my final thought would be that if the show were rigged i would have expected them to rig it in greens favor... |

my sentiments exactly... on second thought though, the temple kind of balances out experience and strenght since winning it is based on luck or randomness. technically, brown is the only team that has survived the temple 3 times and won. (once with yellow, once with purple, then once with green)... so what's the odds of that?!!!! |

grey in e3 also did that - first purple, then yellow, then orange - they won 3 temples in a a row! |

Teams have survived Temple 3 times.
What has yet to happen (and what JD talked about one time) is that no team actually won and gone back down that 3x.
To date, if a team has gone to temple 3x, either: They lose, and are sent away.
Or, they win and are crowned champions. |

so true! only one team has come close to a trifecta as JD puts it... 3 missions, 3 samadhis, 3 temples -- the E3 Yellow Team -- came up short at the temple. |

"Brown ws the weakest team that won endurance they only had 3 pices going into the final blue had 5 gray had 10 and red had 5" Accually Endurance1_fan9 Brown had 7 pieces not 3 i don't know where the heck 3 came form |

fanofE2 tecnically the temple missions that JD was counting were the wood/fire/water ones so JD was right saying no one has won 3. the final mission isn't exactly a temple compared to the others |

I wouldn't call it "rigged". Rigged means it's all planned to happen a certain way.
Edited for sure, meaning they cut out useless parts that we don't need to see. Like ties, standing around during missions and extra explainations.
But all live footage shows do that for the sake of time.
I mean really, do we want to sit there watching people standing over the water for 30 minutes? |

Well yeah, a lot of stuff is cut out. How many times has JD said "You've been holding on for 30 minutes", but we've only been watching for three or four?
Someone also said that the teams write down their elements twice. The first time, they write it down and hand it to a guy behind the scenes who does it for the visual effect. The teams then write their elements down again and that's what we see on TV. |

I hav to agree witht he fact max/jenna were stronger. I mean thats part of y they dont want 16s and up top play cuz its unfair, but the past few years its been really like 18 15 year olds and then one or 2 younger ones,,,,i just think that the game is becomming to packed in and needs to expand the ages even to other shows. but wen i rote jd bout that he apparently didnt like it cuz i didnt hear anything bak from him. |
