Jude or Trent: The Ultimate Compatibility Test
The 'Jude or Trent' game tests how well the players know each other through trivia and personal questions. They correctly identify who was born closer to St. George's Park (Bellingham) and who was 13 when Kyle Walker debuted for England (Alexander-Arnold).

Jude's Pool Performance: A Score of 161
During the 'What a Clearance' challenge, Jude Bellingham struggled initially with his technique and hitting the balls accurately, leading to a slow start and a mid-game slump where the host doubted it would ever happen. Despite the initial difficulties and Trent's own struggles, Jude managed to pot several balls, including high numbers like 19, 22, 21, 26, and 8. After a tense final countdown, Jude's score was calculated to be 161, placing him in a respectable second place, just behind the producer's score of 116. The host playfully critiqued Jude's pool skills, suggesting he might need more practice, while Jude defended his accounting of the points. The segment concluded with a humorous acknowledgment of the scoring and a playful warning to avoid Jude's pool table.
