The Christmas Maze 2019 Episode 11 - Crash Team Racing Grand Final

I'm gonna miss seeing Nath shout "I'm the elf!" every day. :(

before i start this video i just wanted to personally thank everyone at playstation access for making this series. truly made my holidays a lot more fun and it was a joy to watch! hoping we get another christmas maze next year!

This whole series was phenomenal! So creative! And some SERIOUS props go to Dan "Literally Everything Else" Wheeler!!! Give that man a Christmas bonus! A GOOD ONE! 😝

The real winner is Mr Dan Wheeler (for literally everything else). Thank you for a very entertaining series. Happy New Year and all the best.

[@shinKOTSU1]

Christmas Maze was a great way to end 2019.

[@terrybgoode]

This whole series was absolutely amazing. I had my doubts how it was going to go at times, but it turns out Rob is indeed the greatest villain of our time, and the bravest of heroes (somehow, even Dave) cannot prevail. Thank you for the tale of the Christmas Maze, a well-fought battle with the downer ending we all secretly wanted!

[@CrazeeAdam]

He is basically Thanos. Lets admit it

[@JillianValentine215]

Loved how Rob was impressed and almost pleased by the team's filthy tactics xD He's brought them to his level of "evil", ridicolous planning lol

This is like a combination of The Crystal Maze and Takeshi's Castle! Thank you Access for making this Christmas even better! Hope you all have a great 2020! ♥

Well, it was good while it lasted, thank you for putting a wide smile on my face for the last 11 days. And Nath, please say "I'm the elf!" In the next tuesday checklist.

The highlight for me is how Rob managed to stay in character throughout the series

[@jasonparry3220]

Dear PlayStation Access - thank you for a great series over Christmas. It truly is the best thing you have done (since Declan).

What an absolute joy this series has been! I want to thank every one of you! Rosie for being positive this whole series! Elle for her excellent teamwork. Dave for trying his hardest in each challenge, Nathan for being adaptable and extremely helpful. And Rob, for setting everything up, and letting us enjoy this fantastic series. Have a happy new year!

This was the greatest thing I have watched over Christmas holidays. It was truly amazing, I’m amazed at how well thought out and executed this was and was thrilled to see a video in my subscription inbox every day.

"So you spent Christmas on your own this year then?"....................."nope, I spent it with Playstation Access and ******* loved it!!"

[@gerald112b]

Thanks everyone. Really enjoyed your Christmas shenanigans. Rob's been pretty fiendish throughout the series and good didn't prevail this time. I propose a counter challenge. Rob must complete the entire FFVII remake when it's out blindfolded guided only by the tactical expertise of Roy Hodgson. Have a great New Year everyone.

[@seanbourdier1773]

Watching this series for the first time, during pandemic christmas, was very special. It made me laugh so hard, and shout at my screen a few times. It was nice to see everyone in a non scripted element. I truly wish for a second series when time and situation would allow, maybe have someone else be the game master. Good Job everyone.

[@mononoke721]

This is easily your best Christmas series no contest. Some really fun challenges, great dramatics and well-presented both in terms of filming, editing and of course hosting by the maniacal Robert S. Pearson. A Happy New Year to everyone at the PS Access team!

[@marshyc]

Absolutely amazing series, guys! Really loved to see how it all came together at the end. Also, shout out to my boy Dan for doing everything else. Great job!

[@NOTW116]

This has to be my favorite Christmas series PlayStation Access has ever done! Thank you for all your hard work. I enjoyed it immensely! 😀👍 Also, I was rooting for you 4 until you started using some dirty tactics. Then I started rooting for Rob who was such a great villain in this series so I didn't really feel bad about it. 😆 Hope to see this return sometime! ❤

On behalf of us all, thank you so much Access for this series! It's been fantastic from start to finish - Rosie's last-chance saloon on the Crash level; Dave's redemptive arc from failing the character creation challenge to defeating Steve Slenderman; the way the dramatic music kicked in when each challenge was about to be won/lost...its been so good. I suspect special thanks are due to Rob for organising this whole mad thing. Here's to more beautiful videos in 2020!

Rob's super villain role fits him like a glove, and he seems to be having the time of his life while he's at it. Congratulations on your win, Robert S. Pearson!

This entire series was absolutely priceless! Please make it a yearly tradition. I do have 2 tips to offer. The handicap felt like it mattered too little even though it's the reason to play the earlier challenges. I would make the bauble rewards significantly 5 times larger and to balance, make the challenges so hard the team would be lucky to win 3.

It’s been an absolutely brilliant series and Rob was great as the games master and were brilliant doing the challenges. I actually felt sorry for Rob when the team used the Twiglet tactic 😂 Hopefully we’ll see Robert S Pearson testing the team with more challenges again.

[@luigicrisci7637]

YES! I was rooting for Rob all along, and I was really worried that a 7 second headstart was too much for him to win, but he still managed! Anyway, I wanted to thank you for this series, guys, you really made my and many other's Christmas, and lead us into the new year with thrilling challenges and lots of laughter. Even though, as a "grown-up", the magic the holidays bring with them seems to have faded away, you gave me something to look forward to every day, something that reminded me how joyful this time of the year is meant to be. So I'm just going to thank you all again and wish you a great 2020 and a good start of this new decade!

[@wwaxwork]

I'll miss this series though I loved Rob's banter. I'm actually more impressed Rob managed to still win the race even when 3 of the team just decided to tank the race so that Rosie could win. The best part about the series were the tense moments from Rosie completing the level on the last life to completing the bomb defusal with Dave. This year is going to be fun.
