The Christmas Maze Episode 3 - What Are Ya Buyin’?

The Christmas Maze continues and today our team must prepare for three chaotic battles by bartering with Robert S. Pearson (the S is for shopkeeper). Their accuracy, efficiency and briefcase-packing skills will be put to the ultimate test!

As much as Rosie did a great job at the end (and she really did!), we gotta hand it to Dave as well. My man managed to complete a difficult challenge with the least equipment out of all 3 of them.

[@amberanime]

Rosie clutch moments are some of my favorite moments on his channel. That crash stormy ascent one, that spyro flying one, that astro bot time race and now this. Also she provides some of my favorite access quotes with ''Consider healing'' ''I am aware of the situation'', '' Eat it Robert S Pearson''. Of course they all have their amazing moments and quotes. And while Rosie clutch here was amazing, Ash did great for a game she isn't as familiar with, and Dave did amazing with what little he had (as well as having to deal with a npc that walks into fire). Well earned victory for all 3.

[@fall-neckthetallneck2977]

Well said.

[@tomoroboros]

“Competitive Rosie is back” “She never left” Legitimately laughed out loud

[@LAnimeMaster]

When was the consider healing one? I think I missed that one.

[@verselines]

Rosie's stormy ascent victory is the GOAT moment of this series for me.

[@amberanime]

@@LAnimeMaster I believe it was in a normal lies of P vid they did where Ash is playing the game. Not a christmas maze one. But the quote became iconic and carried over it's influence to thsi years christmas maze haha.

[@Kiezzy]

The only thing better than seeing a new episode of the Christmas maze is seeing that it's an hour long!!

[@MQZ17]

That final shot point blank by Rosie was amazing!

[@princessthyemis]

yeah!!! She did absolutely phenonemal in this!

[@Waxson77]

This channel is the MVP for still releasing content over the holidays

[@tomoroboros]

The look on Rob’s face when Ash said she’d just eat the top. Priceless.

[@shadowlinkbds]

As a RE fan i absolutely love the creativity of the Pearson points, shop and challenge overall. Hell I would love to be there and do this challenge myself.

[@joebardsley8426]

We have a new man of the moment…Robert S. Pearson’s Christmas helper!

[@leeeorama]

What I'd like to know is if Xmas Helper is one of those Shorts Year-Round people.

[@kotomidearu5788]

And why does he look just like Robert S. Pearson??

[@MrBryant321]

I’m getting the feeling all these little niceties from Robert S. Pearson (mince pies, cheese, etc.) will come back to bite the team…

[@DigimonTamerfreak]

Fun fact, rosy is STILL yelling "STOP THE CLOCK!"

[@yackezia7864]

Best episode yet! Rosie coming in CLUTCH! The Christmas Maze this year so far has been top tier!

[@phantomeyebrow]

The panicked yells as the balloons shot out of the case was a highpoint!

[@kiwikratos]

31:33 OMG Ashley running into the fire was hilarious!!

[@sheepcouldtalk]

Cheers to Robert S Pearsons christmas helper! ❤

[@DankDoggo]

This channel has kept me sane over the years. Thank you for your hard work!

[@therattis23]

Greetings from Minnesota, US. I just love, Love, LOVE The Christmas Maze, and look forward to it every year. It marks for me the start of the Holidays with its perfect blend of festive games, friends gathered together, and healthy holiday cheer. I love watching Robert S. Pearson dressed in his finest plotting challenging traps and snares for the Access team, sometimes successfully, sometimes not. I am also curious about the mince pies they talk about so much. I haven't encountered them here in my 54 years, but am dedicated to seek them out and give them a try this Christmas, based on your unpaid endorsement alone. This Resi Maze was a thrill to watch. Maybe not a Christmas theme, but a holly, jolly show to be sure! Keep up the fun, fantastic work!

[@jomo999]

Amazing, that was nail-biting stuff, the most tense challenge since Rosie did Stormy ascent 3 years ago. And kudos to Rob and his conspirators for coming up with such inventive, fun challenges.

[@PlayStationAccess]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@sarab2583]

Ash and Dave talking about competitive Rosie being back ("she never left Ash") really made me laugh! I expect we're definitely going to be seeing more of competitive Rosie this Christmas. 😆 This was such a tense challenge though, well done challengers three! 😆

[@Vicbosstv]

When the Chrismas maze theme kicked in during Rosie's clutch moment I actually had chills 🤣🤣 gad dang that was amazing! Never change that theme!! Great episode!!!

[@garybeharrie]

57:50 rob screamed yes!! forgot he was Robert S. Pearson for a sec lol

[@kittcoldfire]

#VODSquad OMG. I swear, EVERY SINGLE Episode of Christmas Maze makes me think of the good old school episodes of shows like Power Rangers. Just when you think the team is down and out, at the LAST second they come back to win!!! And then there's Robert S Pearson (reminds me a bit of Lord Z!) angry and upset his plans have been foiled again! This series brings so much joy guys, keep it up, it's amazing!!

[@tomedmond]

Alex cameo!!

[@BlankSpace14]

58:17. That had to have been Robs impression of Dr.Hammond from Jurassic Park? Lol he nailed it

[@BathedInMilk]

Rosie is just so damn good. Dave had the hardest run, for sure, but "Never Say Die" Caddick never fails to impress. That's twice she's thrashed a boss challenge this year alone.

[@jerrydidrik]

what an amazingly fun series.

[@Zither_Bard]

I haven't laughed so hard in a while! Another amazing episode full of randomness and everyone's charm and skills!

[@n-kap4064]

So excited to watch this live with everyone! Huge congrats to Team Access for the series so far & merry christmas.

[@adayinthelifeofamarriedgamer]

Robert S Pearson's Christmas helper my hat is off to you sir!

[@georgewalker9381]

This series is just the best, it deserves so many more views!

[@Hero1922]

Another excellent episode, and shoutout to Robert S. Pearson's Christmas Helper such a great addition to the tradition and very festive outfit, kudos to you. I was on the edge of my seat for this episode, and I love the shopping concept, very well done and devious Robert S. Pearson.

[@Ivotas]

I actually thought that all the Christmas Mazes from years prior were perfect already, but seeing how Robert S. Pearson treats Robert S. Pearson's Christmas Helper has shown me what it lacked. A henchmen for the villain. Now finally all pieces are in place.

[@girl_on_fire_x_x]

What a fetching Christmas Helper! I wonder if we'll see Nathan the Christmas Elf this year as well? What a treat that would be... 🎁 Loving the series so far👌 That crack is getting bigger - Oh My!💥 😱

[@GameQuestUK]

Rosie coming in clutch again. I love an episode with a bit of tension, that final shot was satisfying.

[@DiscountDante]

19:45 I love how Robert looks like a frustrated cartoon villain. “I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO BEAT THE BIG BULL MAN” It gives me dr. Doofenshmirtz/perry the platypus vibes.

[@jamiefletcher3186]

“I thought you had to beat the big ball man !” 😂😂

[@SekiroFights2]

"Oh, we're on fire again, Ashley."

[@LiamLivesOn]

I have a suspicion that there were crystals in those golden eggs.

[@PlayStationAccess]

Oh, that would have been an amazing twist!

[@SolarColaMK-Z]

That’s such a good idea!! Imagine everyone’s faces on the reveal 😂

[@melissaharrison9458]

Another amazing episode of the Christmas maze! Well done team!

[@DoggedJoe]

Made Ash and Dave jump when Rob threw up and caught the cane during the intro, Rosie not fazed at all.... made me laugh

[@giveusascream]

Rosie is quickly becoming Robert S. Pearson's arch Nemesis

[@claratalbot7613]

That clutch was amazing. Wonderful job team 🙌

[@NetoRamirezHN]

57:53 Time that ROBERT S PEARSON heart came out and for a moment he was happy

[@johnboyjj]

This was an amazing episode. Love it! Thank you :)

[@johnmanak7956]

"She never left Ash." Perfection. Absolute. 48:17 #VODSQUAD

[@ion_X]

Aowh Rosie every time pulling it off clutch plays and Christmas miracles :D

[@desiredbydesign6188]

Rosie you legend. Thx all great start to Xmas. You all have a great one

[@T22DUNN]

"What are ya buying" Robert S Pearson for Christmas?

[@Daltonia]

Everyone did absolutely great and that finish! I roared! Unbelievable stuff you three. 🎉

[@iainchatham8543]

The shout into the camera can only be pulled off by a top player, shades of Gerrard.

[@murrayjamieson6784]

Yeeesss! Brilliant effort team & a brilliant episode. The drama, the Rosie warning system, Robert S Pearson infuriated....it had it all!

[@aisforannihilation1662]

I love these challenges so much. U guys do such an amazing job between the planning, creating, set up, competing, challenges etc. It's truly special & so entertaining. I love Robert S. Pearson & every contestant & the overall dynamic. Thx so much for doing this yr after yr. I hope u all had a wonderful Christmas & have a splendid new year. Xoxo. This goes to the whole access team behind the scenes too & of course Nathan. ❤

[@TAGibby]

Fantastic episode! Rosie coming in clutch like always, but great job by everyone!

[@JarvisSensei]

"I own the train" 😂😂😂😂

[@Smelly_Rex]

I love Resident Evil 4, and seeing the effort in this challenge is just awesome, and so creativity..

[@Ghost-Mantis]

57:50 Robert S Pearson looked happy for a split second there. Wonder what devious schemes he's been cooking up

[@stingersplash]

The editing got me here. Rosie had 13 minutes with 12 left in the video so obviously winning....then she had 1 minute with 3 left in the video and thought maybe losing but sneaking it in the end!

[@Kg-zr6um]

Now this was a great episode. Good tasks, good ps game. Awesome

[@paulwilliamharrison]

Amazing stuff guys. Thankyou again

[@neelshah3742]

My god what an episode. Rosie with the clutch is just *chefs kiss* keep up the great work PS Access team

[@picklerickaussiegaming]

#VODSquad WOW. That brought back memories from Dave's iconic sheriff-train-murder from RDR2, or Rosie's absolutely clutch Spyro flying run! What. A. Run. And how fitting for Rosie to clutch-win her Game of the Year's challenge. Love it guys! 😃

[@Sol-mr1lv]

Never under estimate the man who shouted "I'm the boss!" at a xenomorph

[@gagegrogan4352]

When Robert S. Pearson said “what’re ya buyin” I literally laughed out loud, great work everyone!!!

[@GambitCrowe]

drink every time rob throws his cane up and catches it lol

[@Caladria88]

Christmas maze giving us great moments as always

[@FoxiestOfTheHounds]

Awesome episodes so far! Kudos!

[@nothanks6549]

When the Christmas helper first appeared in the background I did a double take. I thought Rob was on the screen twice.

[@WiffleBatHomerun]

Thanks so much for another amazing episode. Me and my partner both work in the arts and so Christmas time is very busy for both of us. We don't get to spend much of the month together but we always make time to sit and watch the Christmas maze. It's a lovely highlight of each Christmas time and has become a bit of a tradition. Thank you for all the hard work that goes into putting on an extremely entertaining show. It really makes us feel Christmasy when we are both working flat out and wouldn't get much into the holiday cheer otherwise. You're all brilliant and another fantastic clutch Rosie moment! That headshot. Incredible.

[@flamedbeacon]

Robert S Pearson should know that Rosie is undefeated when it comes to Resident Evil =D Another really fun episode :D

[@conmensol]

STOP THE CLOCK! Rosie keeps it consistent every year. 😂

[@Ninzumecha]

This was such a great video! How tense!!! 👌🔥

[@Miquemoco]

Nice! Loved the props.

[@gridlazertron9881]

Robs John Hammond moment at the end 😂

[@Caerigna]

Well done team, and Rosie...Rosie is a Christmas Maze beast!

[@slantia5]

"We need the PP!" Ash Millman, 2023

[@danield6194]

Loving the helper, so kind of Robert s Pearson to let him out at Christmas.

[@jamogable]

Rosie coming again in the clutch has been a Christmas Maze tradition now

[@rudenotto3383]

Stop the clock!!! That was awesome 😂😂

[@iblamebatman8874]

Love the Christmas maMaze time of year. This would make a great business idea as a kind of escape room but with video games..

[@AceOfShadySpades]

Great episode this was

[@peace4myheart]

That was so clutch by Rosie. I was so hyped and cheering her on too.

[@adamstark6579]

I believe the appropriate exclamation here is “Suck it Robert S Pearson!!!!” 😂

[@GameRaveTV]

Robert S. Pearson: "How are we doing?" Ash: "DON'T TALK TO ME." 🤣 My people, you are my people. Happy holidays PA team!

[@B.A.Killington]

Great job guys! Down to the wire, but pulled out the victory!

[@Rlyna93]

Rosie coming in clutch!! What a great moment!🎉 and kudos to all of you three!💪well done!!

[@meglomaniac]

clutch Rosie back at it again! also so great to see Robert S. Pearson's christmas helper!

[@shuragamingyt]

Never doubt Rosie's skillz

[@MrBergste]

Hats off to Rob. This challenge was perfectly designed. Only 13 seconds left.

[@mudshark0761]

" I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO BEAT THE BIG BULL MAN" 😂😂

[@dominicfernando7842]

Christmas Maze isn't complete without Rosie's clutch. Good Job Rosie!

[@Ruturaj240]

Amazing episode!

[@samclendenin801]

“You know what they say…Pesetas potatas” - Dave, 2023 😂

[@Penjolin]

The Queen of Clutch strikes again! 😄 Amazing

[@aidilharis95]

Rosie's basically got a clutch moment each season, she's so amazing 🎉🎉🎉

[@Josmic_1]

Watching Rosie with the clutch win never ever ever gets old. What an absolute legend!!

[@princessthyemis]

This flew by so fast!! Seeing Rosie win by the skin of her teeth was amazingggg!

[@ajinkyakhanzode890]

I'm 15 minutes into the video, ie. Just seen 5 minutes of gameplay and I already want to go play more resi 4. Such an incredible game!!!

[@TheWindii]

RSP could have called them Pearsetas instead of Pearson Points. Amazing episode as always, I got strong Stormy Ascent vibes from Rosie there at the end.

[@jcinurritegui]

This episode was a banger!!!

[@thelolman2000]

25:18 if your not sure where to go, Robert S. Pearson’s Christmas helper can point you in the right direction 25:45 go left not up the path - yes thank you Robert S. Pearson’s Christmas helper, no more speaking from you!! Poor Robert S Pearson’s Christmas helper..

[@512design4]
