Fans of BFB were divided into two camps—those who supported "BFB" and those who favored "TPOT." What began as friendly rivalry soon escalated into heated debates, with each side claiming their show was superior. The arguments spilled over from online forums into the real world, and before long, the fanbase had polarized into two opposing factions. At the center of the conflict were the show's hosts, Four and X, who found themselves torn between the two factions. Four, representing BFB, and X, representing TPOT, tried to mediate the conflict, but their attempts only fueled the fire. Their debates became legendary, broadcasted live for all to see, and each side rallied behind their chosen leader. Two, representing the split, ended up winning by a landslide, and the final verdict was made: BFB would become split into two separate souls, each containing a piece of the whole. The whole being [[Jazz Huang]].

According an insider interview with Satomi Hinatsu, the iconic the green brit's Great Game would have originally been an acronym; the show's title would have spelt out "[[TPOT]]". This was abandoned last minute however, as it was deemed incompatible with the green brit's famous name, which was necessary to include in the title for marketing reasons. This caused an outcry within the [[Pot Community]], who felt frustrated with "POT" being removed from the name. In response to this, the showrunners gave a subtitle to the show, deeming it "[[the green brit's Great Game: pot ot t]]", or "T:POT" for short. Or "TPOT" for shorter. Or "T" for shorterer. If you want it to be even shortererer then you're going to have to mouth out a weird, barely-existent sound.
