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.
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^^
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.
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!"
I am absolutely loving this series this year. Dave, Ash and Rosie make such an amazing team. Robert S. Pearson has crafted some great challenges and made for some amazing drama. As much as I want to see the next episodes, I'm scared to see the series end!
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.
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.
@@Eric-bq8nd Or maybe not, they spent more than 5 seconds each time trying to guess the answers and getting them wrong, it would have been quicker to just say pass and lose the time and get on with it
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.
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.
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
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.
Brilliant challenge setup by the devious Robert S Pearson. Rosie though is absolutely brilliant at these challenges. Spyro, the etch a sketch, cuphead and now the ctr challenge. She nailed them all. Rosie the Christmas Maze GOAT!
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.
Whoohoo!! Binged watch episodes 6-8 and I was on the edge of my seat throughout those episodes!!!! Can't wait to see what is in store for the Access Team after this! Also, thanks to the trivial pursuit game I learned some interesting facts.
Well dave have with returnal win and ash did with littlebit help from Rob with demon souls win . It's important to note all 3 of them work really as a team
It would have been a different scenario should Robert S Pearson have the power to ban a specific contestant from the controller. Also Rosie should be known as Rosie "The Clutch" Caddick for managing to pull off the impossible always at the last minute!
I wish i could like this more than once. I usually wait until the end of the video to like but that shot of Rosie with the sad music had me liking immediately 🤣 great series once again guys
I hope Nathan is in the special Christmas box, and the team have to play against him in the final round.. 😅 Love this series guys, Miss Nathan too hope he's well.
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!
Q: "What famous last words did Robert S Pearson say before the Crash Team Racing challenge of the 2021 Christmas Maze?" A: "I mean, I don't like to interfere in this process..."
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…
haha that part was fantastic
They should have kept zooming 🤣
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
Yes, it's a shame he wasn't around for this one. Strange he's never been spotted in the same room as Robert S Pearson...
@@PlayStationAccess Or Batman...
@@PlayStationAccess They must not get along.
Robs just on holiday, he does have children to spend Christmas with.
Rob has been away learning how to take over from Nathan as the elf
We definitely need a meme of Rosie's game face with the caption: "I'm having the best time."
I think from now on, Ash should only be referred to as "Ash from Wolverhampton" in any future PlayStation Access video or livestream.
This has definitely been one of the takeaways from this series, makes me smile every time I hear it mentioned.
Ash from Wolverhampton And Delicious Dave are now permanent names
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.
I did miss Dave in the last episode.
But we’re getting plenty of Dan sightings.
@@JackalsIII Dave was doing some awesome frog flips last episode, and I think that's participating lol...in some way at least
He was also keeping Robert S Pierson busy.
As of 2022, the PlayStation Access team is now:
Robert "Succulent" Pearson
Delicious Dave
Revolting Rozzie
Ash from Wolverhampton
But I don't want the Revolting nickname to stick :'( She deserves better! Change it to MVP Rozzie instead lol
REMARKABLE ROSIE !! Rosie is BadAss!
Rosie carrying the team to victory yet again. Legit GOAT.
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
Don't forget about Hitman!

“Somethings happening in my brain” is the most relatable thing ever said on this channel.
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!"
Someone needs to go through all these videos and make a supercut video of every time Robert S. Pearson says "yes". 47:58
‘Somethings happening in my brain!’ - Dave moments before the answer comes to him. I found that moment utterly hilarious
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."
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 🤣
I would love to see a series like this with all old games. Like an old school, new year series 😁
I love how Ash just eyes that box like "I'm already thinking of Rob's torture this coming Halloween..."
I am absolutely loving this series this year.
Dave, Ash and Rosie make such an amazing team. Robert S. Pearson has crafted some great challenges and made for some amazing drama.
As much as I want to see the next episodes, I'm scared to see the series end!
This is literally the highlight of working from home!
mine too! i was refreshing the page lol
The way Rob's, "I know what it is... You're just not very good," had me scream laughing.
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.
You can feel Rosie's nervous energy at 31:30 Like a player character waiting for you to touch the controller
Ash and Dave arguing for like half a minute to get the question wrong is the highlight for me. xD
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.
13:29 is Robert S. Pearson finally realizing what he's been doing wrong these challenges so far.^^
It’s not hard to figure out though, Ash has been in control the whole time 🤣
@@martinchristensen6786 tbf I'd let her be in control too 🤣
I love Ash's reaction to hearing Boris Johnson's name at 16:33 haha
Nate is sure being quiet in that box. Or maybe Hollie never actually left and Rob trapped her in a Metal Gear box!
Had there been a penalty for wrong answers or passing this would have been a much different challenge
And Dave clocked onto that right at the start.
5 seconds lost for a pass or missed question would have cost them the challenge.
@@Eric-bq8nd or that they can't move off the space until they give a correct answer.
@@M-E_123 trivial pursuit is a hard game, that would be harsh.
@@Eric-bq8nd Or maybe not, they spent more than 5 seconds each time trying to guess the answers and getting them wrong, it would have been quicker to just say pass and lose the time and get on with it
I find myself rooting for Robert s Pearson - I feel like it means more to him!
Rob has to be pretty "cheesed" off after this challenge.
Un-brie-lievable work, Derek!
@@PlayStationAccess I didn't have to go a long "whey" for that pun.
The swelling music on the coin question really got me ahahahha thought they had it and then Rob's cackle 😂
The absolute joy on rosies face during the last race was certainly overwhelming . The face of pure concentration
Don't worry Robert S Pearson, there's "Stil-tons" of opportunities for you to win
I wanna thank Rosie for being an absolute trooper, she´s my gaming role model!
You have to give it to them on this one, Robert S. Pearson. They won fair and square, and Rosie’s performance on that last course was impressive.
Genuinely gonna miss this when it's over its some of the best content you guys have made
They really need to do a Summer Maze too! This series is too good to only do once a year!
9:30 - that is the equivalent of the blue shell robbing you of the win in mario kart
Truly a painful moment
Red shell really, second place shot her.
This challenge is no doubt designed to help Rob get a few extra Wumpa Coins and knock out some challenges without playing.
Dave's high-pitched laugh is a mood I absolutely love 😂
I'd like to know who's edited this series so I can more accurately direct my praise, because they've nailed it so far.
41:25 The smirk, hesitation, then hurried moving of the piece cracked me up!
I liked this one perfect amount of challenge no need to change it up half way through and both teams had something entertaining to do
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.
Loving this series guys! Thank you!!!
Thank you for watching, Janine! We hope you had a great Christmas!
That clutch at the end. Amazing work Team especially Rosie's racing skills & the trivia knowledge of Ash & Dave. 7 out of 8 victory so far
Rob: “It was Boris Johnson”
Ash: “Errr”
That is the correct response, Ash 😂
Such a rebel...
@@randybobandy3840 calm down lad.
I thought she said Ughhh ! even better response!
Wow, how can someone be so good at games like Rosie?! Like, she carries everyone in every single game!
This has been such a brilliant series! All of you are fantastic. It's really made my Christmas 😊
That was close! Great Christmas Maze this year, stuck in isolation over Christmas so having these has been such a joy 😊
I love trivial pursuit. Such a top game
I got it! “the box of Doom”… They gotta play against Nath in Doom haha
I came here to write the same thing. I missed Nate I don’t know where he is. I’m only hopping he have something to do with the final challenge
@@Martin-666 Nath left didn't he?
@@stingersplash omg ! Really? Oh no every OG is leaving us 🥲
@@Manudyne oh that’s a relief. I love nath
Who knew Trivial Pursuit could be so thrilling! But you knew Rosie only needed one chance at the end. She's the Christmas Maze Goat.
You guys out did yourselves this year. I'm loving every episode. So good.
Rosie literally hold the team together on winning ways
The music fake out was good. Well played!
You guys have made me feel a lot smarter thank you Dave and Ash
Rob should actually have his own show. The format is so creative
Rosie is definitely the MVP of this series.
Takes a lot to make me smile, but I was grinning the whole time... brilliant😍
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.
I LOVE Crash challenges. They are my favourite 😀
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
Really loved the psych! moment with the music there near the end - you got me!
I swear if they win it all after all the kindness, I'm gonna go back to the 2019 one and see Rob win again.
Ash speaking for so many people saying “urgh” when the answer was Boris Johnson
I got a laugh out of that as well
Rosie's always having the best time. 😊
I could not stop laughing at the end. So many sad Rob's
Ash is from Wolverhampton and that’s the tea
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.
I was half expecting Robert S Pearson to trick Rosie into getting him the Platinum trophy, so even if he lost, he won
That was entertainment at its best. You’re amazing, guys
Brilliant challenge setup by the devious Robert S Pearson. Rosie though is absolutely brilliant at these challenges. Spyro, the etch a sketch, cuphead and now the ctr challenge. She nailed them all. Rosie the Christmas Maze GOAT!
Three words...

Is

Well dave have with returnal win and ash did with littlebit help from Rob with demon souls win . It's important to note all 3 of them work really as a team
@@spiderhulk26 yup!
The sad music as the camera pans to a lone Rosie doing her best lmao 😂😂
It would have been a different scenario should Robert S Pearson have the power to ban a specific contestant from the controller.
Also Rosie should be known as Rosie "The Clutch" Caddick for managing to pull off the impossible always at the last minute!
Once she did the crystal challenge it was all good.
One thing this series has affirmed is how good Rosie is at video games under pressure.
20:53
Robert Sip Pearson
anyone else rooting for rob? xD
Robert S Pearson! How can you not root for that jacket and boots?!
Yea, but he's made it too easy for them is way too generous.
After seeing this I desire two things: firstly for Rosie to race against Rob and secondly I'd love to race Rosie.
I wish i could like this more than once. I usually wait until the end of the video to like but that shot of Rosie with the sad music had me liking immediately 🤣 great series once again guys
I hope Nathan is in the special Christmas box, and the team have to play against him in the final round.. 😅
Love this series guys, Miss Nathan too hope he's well.
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!
The team is lucky Rosie is so good at games.
Should've had a camera on Rosie the whole time she was waiting for them 😂
The funniest part for me was: Which two parameters are used to calculate body mass index?
Ash: Height and age!
Dave: Weight and height!
“Correct!”😂😂
Surprised he gave that one, also surprised at Ash's answer because she did very well with most questions.
What a brilliant series
I love it when Robert S Pierson Looses he's funny when he looses
Ok we've got a complete set now with Rusty Rosie, Anne Millman, Delicious Dave, and Dad-Man
Q: "What famous last words did Robert S Pearson say before the Crash Team Racing challenge of the 2021 Christmas Maze?"
A: "I mean, I don't like to interfere in this process..."
I'm trying to determine which has been the most savage show of 2021, Squid Game or The Christmas Maze. It's neck and neck at the moment.
Rosie is absolutely incredible. As was the editing of the slow, lonely zoom. 👍👍
Rosie is amazing at CTR. The most tense game of Trivial Pursuit 😄
At the 31:50 mark I adore the lonely Rosie sad piano zoom
The idea of using Trivial Pursuit is genius.
Or Genus ;)
The sweet, beautiful irony of Birmingham saving the day is just too much 😂
Trivial Pursuit is an absolutely savage board game. Really hard questions.
Also 9:25 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome job everyone
