Pick the Worst: The panel are given the worst out of four options, for example the worst diet and choose which they think is the worse. The audience then vote for which of the two choices is the worst and the side which picks the option with the most votes wins two points.

Bottom Five: The five worst things in a given subject are given in reverse order (best to worst) and the panel try and guess what the subject is. One point is given for each correct answer.
