Sheriff is good at literature. Mays is good in a wide aspects of subject and Jackson is good at music knowledge. And for anyone saying Mays just copies Zeng's answer, Mays is the team captain and has to say every answer or nominate someone else. Hope this can stop the commotion. Edit: I did some research and basically this Singapore news channel is biased to Singaporeans. So for example when Rashid answered wrongly they added the laughing meme and only shows a compilation of Zeng answering, undermining the others. They also put captions like "??" or "help max" which isn't very appropriate for a news channel.
