[It] was hard to do, Fogg said.
It was a massive set.
There were so many pieces to the puzzle.

We would enjoy that, because I didnt know what you were going to say, Fogg said.
There were more tears involved than it seemed
Baker recalled a time one of the contestants madeFoggtear up.
The toughest challenge was the log roll
Fogg said he tried it and had been thrown off himself.
And Id say, No I have to fire off the temple.
Put three minutes on the clock.
Baker thought putting the Shrine of the Silver Monkey together was pretty tough too.
Baker said some of the trouble was the actual statue itself.
You couldnt tell [if the second piece] was upside down, so youd try the other one.
Nonetheless, both Fogg and Baker said they wanted the kids to win every episode.
Wed all be standing there, screaming them on, Baker said.
Foggs favorite team was the Silver Snakes
They had a little something, Fogg said.
They were a little down and dirty, kind of gritty.
Also when theyd come out of lunch, theyd always have pizza stains on their shirts.
Fogg also admitted that he would try and guess which team would win at the start of the episode.
I never got it right.
It took a weird combination of brains and brawn to make it to the Temple.
Hence Foggs only memento of his time on the series was his infamous denim shirt.
It would either be a food product or a personal need product.
