Liz Shannon Miller vs John Rocha - Movie Trivia Schmoedown

[@ansabalvi]

My heart goes out to Liz. She's a great player. Much love, if you're reading this

[@KansasViking]

Rocha going back to back with season opening wins by TKO. Can continue greatness with some wins though? Would love to see him play Dan for the title to complete the trilogy.

[@JohnRochaSays]

Me too!

[@viqneuman.5111]

John Rocha is a freaking Legend. I love this sport.

[@noahsmith5719]

The most impressive thing the outlaw did today was smack around three posters with his chair and have them rest at level without trying. He is the GOAT (of leveling posters)

[@JohnRochaSays]

Lady Outlaw hung those very well and it showed there! Haha

[@noahsmith5719]

@@JohnRochaSays you’re not kidding. Where’s her belt then?!? No but really, you and Liz played brilliantly. Great match!!

[@Rellj16]

I fel like Rocha's challenge should have been overturned. There was never a "final answer" logged for that question. Rocha jumoed in WAY too early for a challenge. Liz still had time to change her answer if she wanted and THEN say "final answer". I for sure thought they were gonna say that. Or ask her another question because of Rochas premature challenge.

[@Paulovlyra]

Loved that Rocha went with ESPAÑOL for his entrance promo!

[@jacknewton4314]

Rocha is the type of player i aspire to like. My all time favourite player in the entire schmoedown history

[@UncleAlex916]

He is my goat

[@philp6851]

Respect to Liz. Showing great knowledge as well as great integrity too. Classy. Got nothing but love for the Outlaw. Sorry, correction the GOATLAW! Big up John. TOP 10 BOMAYE!

[@Everytingz]

@Schmoedown. Forgive my ignorance, but I thought once a category is selected on the wheel, that category cannot be available to the competitor. How can spinners choice be available for both sides?

[@VandelYeIndustries]

I believe it only applies to specific slices, for example “Sports movies” but both players have a chance to get spinners choice

[@roofdogblues7400]

It's not a category, there are no questions for the slice.

[@movieaire1439]

The back and forth between Rocha and Levine will never get old

[@iluvenisp]

Man, Rocha played great and Liz played bad. I'm really sad because she had spinner's and wasn't prepared as well as she should've been

[@JohnRochaSays]

Played bad??? She had a perfect round 1 and chose poorly on Dreamworks Animation. She played well. The game just didnt fall kindly to her.

[@iluvenisp]

@@JohnRochaSays You might be right, I just think that given the chance of spinner's choice, choosing badly or not having a slice down pat is not playing the game well.

[@Garoth4582]

Rocha is back in action! Outlaw Nation all the way!!!!

[@eshna2012]

Always here for Miller - 🌧 or ☀️!!!

[@AA1891]

The headshot 😆

[@bsbgirl85]

Is Clarke still the Commissioner? I keep forgetting cause we barely see her. Man, I miss her. I still want her (and Rachel) to come out of retirement, and I'm never going to stop wishing for that dammit! lol. Still hoping the classy Queen returns, and with her Shirewolves partner. Love seeing Liz again, she had such a spectacular season last year! Liz beating overrated Chance and especially Bibianni was great to watch. Still wish she stayed with SWAG though, cause I think Winston was one of the crucial pieces to bring that out of her *sad* I don't think I can root for Rocha this season after he screwed over Murrell for no reason, but as usual seeing him reminds me that I still love his sh*t talking. Always brings me back to the good old days of The Schmoedown lol. This was more Rocha vs. Levine than him facing Liz, their snipping at each other was hilarious. Great match, was rooting for Liz but I'm sure she will come back from this. Oh, glad to hear Ethan and Liz are going to be a team! Can't wait to see what they do together. Most of the new teams in the teams tournament sound like they were just tossed at each other just for the sake of making a team lol. Hopefully they all turn out better than they sound but so far I'm only interested in Murrell/Bateman and Ethan/Liz. As for The Star Wars Tournament, I hope Cabrera wins that again. Go Ace!

[@viqneuman.5111]

Knew there would be a dirty challenge with these two.

[@dtanobo]

I feel like you should be able to change your answer quickly before you lock it in.

[@westiniroh5406]

Congrats to my favorite player in the league. Lightning will strike again.

[@crobeastness]

Never heard of 'Breaking Away'. Did some research on it and it seems to be a very niche unknown film. Wonder why it was a just a 3 pointer.

[@Linerunner99]

lol only someone young doesn't know Breaking Away.

[@crobeastness]

@@Linerunner99 that no excuse for my case because I actively seek out critically acclaimed or zeitgeist movies as far back as the 1930s and some (very few though) from the 20s.

[@Linerunner99]

@@crobeastness And yet... everyone knew this film at the time. Maybe it didn't go down in history as one of the best but it's hardly niche or obscure.

[@johncadden202]

Rocha calling out Sam the man like Creed in Rocky II.

[@mandofan2616]

Maybe the contestants should be made say FINAL ANSWER in case this happens again.

[@Kratosx23]

Ummm.....no. They have a way to prevent this, take your time like Bateman does. You know why he waits until the last second every time? It's to make sure this doesn't happen to him. It doesn't matter that it annoys everyone, he makes sure he either has the answer or doesn't and that's it. You have time, use it. That's what it's there for. If you don't use it judiciously, that's your fault for not playing the right way. Being careful is an element of the game.

[@tomiwaaina5499]

@@Kratosx23 yeah I'm sure Bateman loves that it annoys people too xD

[@ZachBobBob]

I feel so bad for Liz this could've been an all time match but its a shame it got messy

[@Nightfall815]

Wow, Mark screwed up that Challenge BAD! It was HE, who gave the correct answer away, not Rocha - Rocha simply challenged fair and square, because she clearly changed her answer, and then Mark weirdly tried to overrule it? When has anyone EVER been allowed to change an answer, when their first attempt was a bit muddled? "The Schmoedown logged this as the answer" - get outta here with this favoritism bullsh*t! No way you would have done this had it been Rocha!

[@JohnRochaSays]

An excellent point, Jonas. But then again, The Outlaw is used to getting unfavorable decisions from Mark Ellis. ;)

Schmoedown Black hat edition

[@JonnySuite13]

Since when did the Schmoedown become bilingual?

[@bendecidospr]

Sam Levine should have fought more on that challenge. He’s known for technicalities and attention to details, and knowledge of the rules and the game. Yet, he seems to have been silent in that challenge. I agree with the ruling, but as a manager, I would have argued that, since the original answer was not heard, then it doesn’t count. Mark asked for a repeat of the answer, which has precedent. Whenever a player is asked to repeat or clarify an answer, whatever they say next is accepted as the answer. As Finstock, I would have countered that she admitted to having answered wrong, but my point is that Sam should have fought stronger for her. Thats what a manager is supposed to do.

[@Zaito216]

When you ask someone to repeat... it implies that the answer shouldn’t be changed.

[@bendecidospr]

@@Zaito216 I get it. I’m not saying the challenge or the ruling was wrong. I’m saying that Sam should have at least tried to defend his player.

[@JohnRochaSays]

@@bendecidospr Some things are indefensible....even for Levine! ;)

[@kedate1979]

Soooo... 1. "Hollywood" John Rocha? 2. Unless he requested them to play it why didn't they play Rocha's theme?

[@JohnRochaSays]

Finstock Exchange music. We are in this together.

[@bikercr]

Sorry Liz, you played great but screw Lethal Weapon, watch Breaking Away! "Refund?! Refund?!!"

[@Mattastrophik]

Ugh, Rocha... even when he's right, he's such a whiny mope about everything. "My category sucks! My mom won't let me watch Eyes Wide Shut!" So many years of being a crybaby every time he isn't explicitly winning. /barf

[@JohnRochaSays]

Hahahaha! Keep hating. Squeezing the tears out of your comment and putting it in my cup to drink later.

[@mandofan2616]

Liz, get a white board please.
