Where do they go?

As I was watching Nickelodeon GAS (Games and Sports) tonight, I had a mini-revelation. Legends of the Hidden Temple was on, and I was having an awesome time watching it. What I didn't pick up on before tonight, however, was how utterly creepy the show is. For lack of a sober idea of how to explain it, I'll make a short list right now.

1. Kirk Fogg - He is the host of the show, and if you pay attention, he is a very strange guy. He's very touchy-feely with all the contestants (none of which are more than 12 years old). He also wears that stupid belt, which serves no purpose except for holding his microphone and Pendants of Life. The only positive thing about this guy is that he has an awesome name. Kirk Fogg? Is your name that sweet? No.
2. Omek - Aside from having a bizarre voice, this thing also qualifies in the "creepy" category. If you pay close attention, you'll notice that he does something whenever the kids go into his temple (final round). He MOANS! Maybe it's just me, but I found this shit to be really annoying, funny, and disgusting all in the same ball of wax. Is he serious? What the fuck, Omek.
3. The Kids Suck - This doesn't necessarily fit into the "creepy" category, but it needs to be said. Does nobody else realize that all the kids on this show are athletically inept? All I could ever think about watching this show as a kid is that I could do so much better than these jokers that were on there. I still think that, actually. Maybe it's for entertainment value. I'm not sure. I am very positive, however, that the kids that participate in these events (even if they're Silver Snakes or Green Monkeys, clearly the two best teams on the show) suck big time.
4. Every Team is Boy-Girl - Yes, this is another side note from the "creepy" list. I'm not trying to sound sexist or anything, because I'm really not, but admit it: the girls on Legends of the Hidden Temple are never as good as the guys. What is especially prevalent is their huge mistakes in Omek's Temple at the end. The girl seems to usually go first, and she'll take up two minutes or more, leaving the guy with one or less. I won't rant on this too much, but I think that they should have allowed people to choose their own teams, regardless of gender.
5. The Temple Guards are the Ultimate Creepy - This is relating back to the original point. This point is actually the reason that inspired this entry. How fucking creepy are the Temple Guards? They just come out of the nowhere and abduct these children in some sort of perverted homage to Omek. Furthermore, where do they take you when you don't have any Pendants of Life? This creeps me out more than anything. The Temple Guards take you off to some unknown back room and who knows what goes on after that. Luckily, the kid always manages to make it out to the main floor by the closing credits.

Geez, Kirk fucking Fogg. Despite the creepiness of your show, I love Legends of the Hidden Temple. I only wish that there were new episodes, and that they featured college students instead of middle schoolers. How sweet would that be?
