Scott Eastwood and Jimmy Kimmel aren't obvious rivals.

But, on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday, Ellen DeGeneres toured the Warner Bros. lot with the Snowden actor and the Emmys 2016 host, where she playfully pitted her two guests against one another. "We thought it'd be fun to play a live version of 'Who'd You Rather?'" Ellen said. After first bumping into a group of tourists, Jimmy was upset to learn they all preferred Scott. "I don't want to be spiteful, but I don't have to travel around in a tram," he told them. "I have my own car, OK?" Asked how he felt, he sarcastically replied, "I feel great! It's a real picker-upper."

Ellen then took her guests into an office space, where they went from cubicle to cubicle to ask people the same question. Scott seemed to take it more seriously than his counterpart. "Jimmy, you should see his eyes," Ellen said. Feeling the heat, Jimmy asked Scott, "Are you smoldering?"

"I'm putting on my best moves, Jimmy," Scott replied, never breaking eye contact with the employee he was trying to woo. Ellen suggested Jimmy should "try to smolder," which he did; Unfortunately, he wasn't as adapt as Scott. "Oh, that's not good," Ellen said. She then asked Scott to "teach" Jimmy "how to smolder," so he told the host, "You sort of lean into it, Jimmy." Alas, Jimmy still couldn't get the hang of it. "Sorry!" he yelled. "My father isn't Clint Eastwood!" Ellen pointed out "how relaxed" Scott looked in comparison to Jimmy, which only riled him up more. "I know! He's good at it!" he admitted. "And I'm not good at smoldering. This is why I'm losing." Scott tried his best to lift his competitor's spirits, telling Jimmy, "It's a work in progress."

Later, while talking to another Warner Bros. employee, Ellen asked, "When you say 'you'd rather,' what do you mean by that?" The woman—who had picked Scott—stumbled a bit over her words, so Jimmy asked her, "Do you mean you would rather vomit than have sex with me?"

"What kind of bit is this?" Jimmy later asked Ellen. "This is the worst."

Jimmy finally thought he'd found someone who would pick him over Scott, as another woman told him, "He looks like he has a comfortable bed at home. I always see it on your show." Jimmy confirmed that he does in fact "have a very comfortable bed," whereas Scott "sleeps on rocks."

"A lot of people are always dancing on it," the woman said, referring to past pranks pulled by Rihanna and Britney Spears on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. "Sometimes there are dancers on my bed. Do you ever have dancers on your bed?" Jimmy asked Scott, who replied, "I've had a couple dancers on my bed." Grinning, Jimmy told Ellen, "He's probably had more dancers than I have."

Jimmy upped the ante with the last woman he met, giving her a big hug from behind. So, who would she rather? "Oh, Jimmy!" she said, without missing a beat. "He's in bed with me every night." Jimmy wanted to thank her in a special way, so he asked, "Do you mind if I kiss you with tongue?" After pretending to lock lips, the woman told him, "My husband's there, too." Jimmy didn't mind, however. "He's got a wife," Ellen explained. "It's Hollywood! That's what happens."

After the segment ended, Jimmy continued to be a good sport about his loss. "Who could have ever imagined it would turn out like that?" he told Ellen and Scott. "I thought I was gonna win."
