Trivia Showdown: #1 Ranked Team Looks To Defend Crown (Ep. 034 of 'The Dozen')

[@mc386106]

The only complaint I agree with them on, the John David Booty then John Parker Wilson question. I don't think Jeff realizes that very often he makes the answers so similar in nature that he does in fact make it easier on the second team. The Barr to Chubb one is another example. Both are OLBs that wear #55. In a vacuum the questions are similar in difficulty, but because there is a thread of commonality between them, if they can find the thread like Big Cat did by saying "three name QB" about Wilson then the second team has the edge.

[@DaRarecANDY]

The best way to fix this is alternate who goes first instead of having PFT and Brandon go first every round. They should have been doing that this whole time.

[@Nathan-yt6zf]

I don’t think this is true. I mean even in the questions you mentioned they got one right and the other wrong

[@mc386106]

@@Nathan-yt6zf On the QB question with Booty and Wilson, both were answered correctly. Based on what was shown, without Big Cat saying "the three name QB" then Rone wouldn't have come up with John Parker Wilson. The Barr/Chubb one was just an example of the ties that often occur in Jeff's questions when he's trying to make the questions the same difficulty level. I didn't say it definitely gave away answers, just that it helped make answering the second question easier at times.

[@TCDAVIS22]

Second team absolutely has the advantage. Plus they always get an additional member. If it’s always going to be 3v2, PFT and BW should go second

[@williams78128]

Your point stands, but 17-5 is pretty unforgivable.

[@laxbro185]

Would love to see big cat, rone, cheah vs nick kb frank. Would be absolutely electric

[@PurpleandGold615]

Yeah, I think Brandon and PFT need a break and it would be cool to see other teams face off against each other.

[@seanranelli5340]

The questions need to be more balanced for the past 6 shows its Brandon and PFTs weak points or tough questions vs freebies or pretty much cake wall questions for the other team, Not to mention they’re only two people

[@joeg9128]

The questions are not unbalanced, Brandon just complains about everything which makes it seem unbalanced. On the Icee question Brandon throws his hands up in the air like the other team just got a freebee, and then he couldn't even answer it when it was his turn.

[@saps303]

I mean a lot of times the other teams would steal Brandon and PFT's questions. Especially today. Can't really say its freebies when theyre running away winning both sides of questions.

[@mattpritzl4669]

PFT’s garbled mic is funny every time

[@pickle961]

There is a slight or maybe even significant advantage to the challenging team.. the 2nd question (one for them to answer) is always in the realm or area of the question asked to PFT and Brandon, so youre already in the mindset and area of trivia in your head.. i didn't think it was that big of a deal until the answers started doing it also with the 3 name , John Parker Wilson , was set up with the name answer before it

[@ClanBBQ4life]

Jeff sometimes likes to have a general theme to a lot of the questions/answers. It's easy to say after the fact that they were somewhat oddly related, other times it may actually of help the other team even subconsciously. I may also have smoked too much weed and am overthinking this.

[@ClanBBQ4life]

Also realizing now someone pointed this out with the top comment that I missed

[@tigersforlife6767]

Think someone else should start making the questions. Jeff knows how to get in Brandon and PFT's head too well.

[@Marc_Abelman]

We missed out on an incredibly hilarious moment had Rone, Big Cat, and Cheah called Jake and Brandon answered. That could've been all-time funny.

[@timothybarnett5831]

Team Yak is Unstoppable, amazing random knowledge. good game boys. Keep your head up PFT and BFW.

[@hustle6]

Jeff trying to act like Cliff Lee & CC Sabathia are as easy as Verlander & Scherzer shows how little baseball knowledge he has. He always assumes people know Cleveland questions when it's just his personal bias.

ALTERNATE WHICH TEAM ANSWERS FIRST EACH ROUND

[@frankponeil]

Brandon & PFT have a disadvantage each round going first. Even the gist of a question/answer can be helpful to their opponent. Also technically the opponents have more tome to consider the category each round. Alternate who answers first - reduce the excuses.

[@Yung_Costanza]

We need Team Yak vs Frank and the Frankettes

[@tynickd]

Questions are so one sided for this one

[@222333aaaaaa]

It didnt matter. They won by fucking 12

[@coreytuinstra1154]

Jeff knows how to trip up Brandon and PFT now that’s why they always lose

[@tvids1373]

Brandon and PFT need a couple shows off... 😳

[@Zmad724]

Need to start alternating who goes first, and the similar question gives the 2nd team an idea of what's coming up, and sometimes partial answers from Brandon/PFT teams first question. Also, sick of the 2 people vs 3 people....both teams need to have the same amount of people. Having an extra person is a HUGE advantage. Made no difference today cause PFT/BW were going to lose regardless, but change it in the future. Either add someone to PFT/Brandon's team or only have them go against 2 people.

[@stevemygoodman7809]

The whole point with 2v3 is you have the 2 experts versus 3 people who aren’t. They just suck against any good teams. They had fun beating zero blog 30 and other people who don’t know sports. But when it’s sports guys they lose.

[@Venividivici55555]
