Red Team

[amplify26]

If Red had came back from Temple in "Rollerball", obviously they would get revenge on Green. What do you see happening after that?

I think Red was a really strong team, and could've won a few missions and definitely given Green a run for their money. One thing's for sure, the game would've been a lot different, because Orange was never really a threat to win much and didn't have any conflict except internally. But Red would've probably caused friction with Green and also backed Scooter up in antagonizing Brown, and would've had the strength to back it up during missions.

Ditto to everything here. The game would have totally shifted towards the Red/Blue/Purple alliance and it would have possibly have been them in the final three.

While I'm still rewatching E2, I remember doing a diagram on this.
Note: This is purely based on mission results, I completely disregarded strategy here.

If Red came back...

Orange would give their lone piece to Purple (because Michelle and Annie were close friends), so Purple would have four pieces to everyone else's one.

Tide Pull:

Scooter still targets Yellow (and eliminates them quickly), but the four other teams eliminate Blue soon after. Red targets Green, and therefore eliminates them, then goes over to Purple (most pieces at this point). Brown would target Red....

If Brown wins, still gives Blue the Samadhi, but if Red were to win, they would then give the Samadhi to Green.

On the Ropes:

If Brown wins, they send Blue and Red to Temple, Red is then eliminated.
If Blue wins (because they would've been really close to Brown without the Samadhi), they send Brown and Yellow to Temple, and Yellow goes home.
If Red wins (because Jacquelynn and Phil seem to trust each other a lot), they send Brown and Green, Green goes home.

Face to Face:

If Red is eliminated, then they give their piece to Blue--4 pieces for Purple, 2 for Blue, everyone else 1. (final five of Blue, Yellow, Purple, Green, Brown)
If Yellow is eliminated, give their piece to Brown--4 pieces for Purple, 2 for Brown, everyone else 1. (final five of Blue, Red, Purple, Green, Brown)
If Green is eliminated, same thing as Yellow. (final five of Blue, Red, Yellow, Purple, Brown)

If Purple wins the mission, same thing as in the actual game and gives the Samadhi to Brown.
If Blue wins, then they do the same thing.
If Brown wins, gives Samadhi to Blue.
If Red wins, gives Samadhi to Green (if Yellow was eliminated) or Brown (if Green was eliminated)

Cherry Picker

I assume the Samadhi would be too hard for anybody to take, so...nobody overcomes it here.
If Purple wins, same thing--sends Brown and Yellow, Yellow gets sent home (in situation where Red or Green is eliminated in the previous Temple Mission), or sends Brown and Green, Green gets sent home (In situation where Yellow was eliminated in "On the Ropes")
If Yellow wins (in situation where Green is eliminated), they send Purple and Blue, and Blue goes home

Aqueduct:

Several possible final fours here--

Blue, Purple, Green, Brown (if Red and Yellow are eliminated, respectively)
Blue, Purple, Red, Brown (in a situation where Yellow and Green are eliminated, respectively)
Red, Purple, Yellow, Brown (in situation where Green and Blue are eliminated, respectively)
Yellow, Purple, Green, Brown (in situation where Red and Blue are eliminated, but that requires Yellow winning "Cherry Picker")

Being a strategy game...
If Yellow wins, they give the Samadhi to Purple
If Purple wins, gives the Samadhi to Brown or Blue
If Green wins, gives the Samadhi to Red or Blue...or they throw out?

Plank Maze:

Blue, Purple, Green, Brown--Green wins, sends Purple and Brown to Temple, Purple gets sent home, so we have a final three of Blue, Green, and Brown.
Blue, Purple, Red, Brown--Purple wins, sends Brown and Blue up to Temple (sounds fun!), and Brown goes home. Final three of Blue, Purple and Red. 
Red, Purple, Yellow, Brown--another close showdown between Purple and Yellow...but Purple narrowly gets out of it, sends Yellow and Brown, Yellow's sent home. Final Three of Red, Purple, and Brown
Yellow, Purple, Green, Brown--Green wins, sends Purple and Brown to Temple, Purple gets sent home. Final Three of Yellow, Green, and Brown

Sorry if this is a bit complicated!

I agree that Brown would still win Tide Pull, but I think Red would win On the Ropes and obviously send Green, but the other team going would likely be Yellow. If that happened, I think Yellow would go home, and everything that was described after they were eliminated would still happen.

I would've loved to see more of the red team. Same with Gray and Blue.
