The Christmas Maze 2021 Episode 8 - Crash Team Trivia

[@AboveAverageAndrewJ]

The editing in this series has always been top-tier but the slow zoom in on Rosie as 31:37 takes the cake. I don’t want this series to end…

[@martynpotter21]

haha that part was fantastic

[@in4mus85]

They should have kept zooming 🤣

[@Mastersenvy]

Straight after watching this part I immediately came to the comments, amazing to see it was the top comment!

i wish Rob was here, he would've loved this challenge

[@Myles]

I think from now on, Ash should only be referred to as "Ash from Wolverhampton" in any future PlayStation Access video or livestream.

[@VysetheLegendary]

This has definitely been one of the takeaways from this series, makes me smile every time I hear it mentioned.

[@ryanmcwilliams8784]

Ash from Wolverhampton And Delicious Dave are now permanent names

[@rockutron9000]

We definitely need a meme of Rosie's game face with the caption: "I'm having the best time."

[@Wogle]

As of 2022, the PlayStation Access team is now: Robert "Succulent" Pearson Delicious Dave Revolting Rozzie Ash from Wolverhampton

[@NeroMystyra]

But I don't want the Revolting nickname to stick :'( She deserves better! Change it to MVP Rozzie instead lol

[@shixter]

REMARKABLE ROSIE !! Rosie is BadAss!

[@whitefall5611]

There's something special about the challenges which require all 3 team members to be actively involved. It just adds that little something extra when everyone is fully invested in the result.

[@JackalsIII]

I did miss Dave in the last episode. But we’re getting plenty of Dan sightings.

[@in4mus85]

She was very good, but Ash also deserves a shout because Trivial Pursuit is such a hard game.

Rosie is the MVP of the Christmas Maze. Spyro, Cuphead, and now CTR? Well done Rosie

[@NeroMystyra]

Don't forget about Hitman!

[@Ivotas]

Who did the editing on this video? 31:30 totally made feel for Rosie. I'm sure she herself doesn't realize how a random situation got turned into such a sad moment. Give the editor an Oscar. Just brilliant^^

[@Enselladus]

Someone needs to go through all these videos and make a supercut video of every time Robert S. Pearson says "yes". 47:58

[@mscottsewell89]

“Somethings happening in my brain” is the most relatable thing ever said on this channel.

[@BenAstridge]

‘Somethings happening in my brain!’ - Dave moments before the answer comes to him. I found that moment utterly hilarious

[@StirkaHarlighet]

I think the thing I love most about this year's maze is the amount of common banter. Just talking about cats, making jokes, all that normal stuff just thrills me for some reason. I also love it when they mention America! I don't know why. It's like a part of me goes, "hey that's me!"

[@AntoineWilliams]

The best line I've ever heard thus far on this channel: 24:14 'Oh dear, I'm gonna come out. It smells in here. It smells of failure."

[@scottlil01]

This episode has put me in the mood to play CTR again. This was a really good challenge and I appreciate Dave and Ash not abusing the fact that there was no punishment for getting a question wrong and giving each question a fair attempt. The music fake out on one of the questions was delightful as well.

[@adamstark6579]

Rosie, the wholesome gamer coming in with a pointed “I’m seeing many upset Robs” at the end, proving there’s an edge there really 🤣

[@cmwinchell]

I love how Ash just eyes that box like "I'm already thinking of Rob's torture this coming Halloween..."

[@davidbrussard-composer7372]

I love Ash's reaction to hearing Boris Johnson's name at 16:33 haha

[@marcuslee3051]

You can feel Rosie's nervous energy at 31:30 Like a player character waiting for you to touch the controller

[@Ivotas]

13:29 is Robert S. Pearson finally realizing what he's been doing wrong these challenges so far.^^

[@martinchristensen6786]

It’s not hard to figure out though, Ash has been in control the whole time 🤣

[@in4mus85]

@@martinchristensen6786 tbf I'd let her be in control too 🤣

[@sixpin551]

Is it weird that I'm feeling bad for Robert S Pearson at this point? The tight time did help with the drama in this one, which is nice. That slow zoom on Rosie got a good chuckle out of me though.

[@nairilee]

The way Rob's, "I know what it is... You're just not very good," had me scream laughing.

[@justinmariani2147]

I would love to see a series like this with all old games. Like an old school, new year series 😁

Nate is sure being quiet in that box. Or maybe Hollie never actually left and Rob trapped her in a Metal Gear box!

Yes, yes, yes. Karting and trivia, now that is a combination I like. Suggestion for next time in regards to trivia, do not roll until question is answered correctly. Even if there was a pass (which was not abused more, great sportsmanship), they would get new question on same topic until answered correctly. Keep up the great work. Can not wait for final surprise challenge.

[@krookedvulture]

Don't worry Robert S Pearson, there's "Stil-tons" of opportunities for you to win

This challenge is no doubt designed to help Rob get a few extra Wumpa Coins and knock out some challenges without playing.

Re watching the episode it just popped in my head how that last run Rosie's concentrated phase felt like that part in speed racer movie adaptation where he restarts the car.

[@thematuregamer2027]

Three words... Rosie Is BADASS. She's so unbelievably clutch. Mad props for trying to become better than Rob at CTR. This contest was a gift by Rrrrrobert S Pearson. He knew Rosie would be the one driving. That's why he never got that upset that they would win this challenge. This was a gimme. Nice episode, but I'm already submitting my vote for best moment of the Christmas Maze. It was Rosie's clutch performance with Spyro.

[@danielking5812]

Rosie literally hold the team together on winning ways

[@justingoh3622]

possible mystery box challengers include: 1. Bloodborne: defeat defiled chalice Amgydala within a set no. of attempts 2. Defeat Nathan's high score at resogun 3. Complete Hades from a fresh start. 4. Defeat Elle and/or Hollie at a game btw Rob here's a suggested challenge for next year: Gem collector: collect 7 chaos emeralds in Sonic Mania EX within 30 mins

[@doomtrain5]

The music fake out was good. Well played!

[@Ginormous76]

This was a really clever game combo. Only thought, wrong answers should have had a 15 or 30 second time penalty. Otherwise, for non-pie questions, they could just immediately pass.

[@CoreyKaha]

This was the most exciting episode yet, for me at least anyway. Which may have been helped by the fact I've played a lot of both CTR and Trivial Pursuit in my day. Rosie is so talented at so many things, it's incredible.

I've got this sneaky feeling that Robert S Pearson was planning this from the start - the guys are good, don't get me wrong, but you just get the sense he is setting them up, building their confidence to just bring it all crashing down at the end... Just a feeling lol Either way, it's been an awesome series so far, great job guys!
