David Correos, Guy Montgomery, and Urzila Carlson would all be in my running for top 10 taskmaster contestants of all time. Urzila's unrelenting annoyance at Paul (the taskmaster's assistant for NZ) was always great

It took a couple of episodes to fully warm up to NZ series 1, but Angella Dravid deserves special mention for being master of the prize task across all versions.

Thanks for the recommendation, just watched NZ taskmaster series 2 ep 1, and it was great. Loved Urzila too. Thick Afrikaner accent, but also weirdly NZ too. Just read an article about her, she seems pretty nice. Is her netflix comedy special avaiable in the USA?

Poor Bridget, she just can't catch a break from Greg. Even after winning a task, she still gets humiliated time after time.

Best or Worst Live Task ever. This series is in the running with NZ Series 2 and UK Series 7 for my favorite series ever. Humbug Scoolbus fucked around with this message at 00:06 on May 20, 2022 |

When they did the tie break, I was hoping Alex was going to, jokingly or not, say that the tie break was going to be a surprise live tie break that was also guessing someone's name.

Top 10 episode, if not top 5. Sausage cement mixer, Bridget forgetting how to walk, etc... And in the final task, I'm guessing Quentin didn't answer Judi's question right away because he couldn't tell if Quantum was just his name slurred.

The ten second thing probably got them too in their own heads, but 70+ questions and not guessing Quentin as soon as you find out its Q are unforgivable. Hilarious task.

Great episode indeed, even though I didn't even like all the tasks. I thought both the pedometer task and the meeting task were pretty bad, but their combined ineptitude (how were only 2/5 able to match the knowledge of 'pedometer' and 'walking'???) with studio reactions saved the former. Prize task and cement mixer tasks were great though. Generally I feel like the cast do very well in the studio.

Bridget starting to protest before a moment of self reflection was such an amazing moment. I love that this was MOST true for one moment, but that there were so many moments like this. Also, I just adore Judy.

Ardell choking, mounting, and waterboarding the mannequin is one of the funniest purposeful things anyone has done on the show in a very long time.

It almost felt like they were letting Sophie have it since she was obviously the only one actually trying to get information from him, but I think by that point she was just the only one firing on any cylinders Absolutely fantastic episode. So many moments that would have been the highlight of any other episode.

Chris' response to the cement mixer task was probably the hardest I've laughed in months. It would have been a funny scene even if the thing had rotated slowly but it was made twenty times funnier by the fact that it was clearly right on the edge of being dangerous and was scaring the hell out of both of them.

Gotta say, I think that Alex was going for it a lot more that Chris - but he's always given his all for the show. Can't understand how the moment where Ardal's attempt crossed the line from hairdressing to full-blown water torture went unremarked on in the studio. Maybe cut for time? Weird international tidbit: the tie-break task was also featured in the latest season of Swedish taskmaster (as a regular task because they don't do tie-breaks). Obviously must have been filmed simultaneously, but the Swedish version made it to air just a few weeks ahead of the UK here. Very glad for Sophie that she got the win here, it's been a while coming - seventy five questions in fact...

Yeah that's the best episode in years, easily. The meeting task was one of those tasks that's a brilliant idea in theory but ended up being rubbish in practice - but it was still a fantastic episode regardless. As soon as he hesitated on Quantum I silently shouted Quentin. Can't believe none of them got that.

To the extent everyone is sort of associated in posterity with one specific task (Joe and the potato, Liza and the cake, etc.) I feel like the sausage catch might well be Chris's.

Ardal drowning a mannequin in a cement mixer like a scene from a low budget horror film while Alex loses it in the background was an all-time TM moment. Same with Bridget's seemingly genuine inability to understand what a pedometer does.

The last season had Victoria who was clearly an intelligent person but bad at doing most of the tasks (the bike ride impressed the hell out of me, though). Now we have Bridget who is quite funny but seems to have a problem even understanding basic concepts. The "on the pedometer" thing was really great though. That last episode was fantastic.

A curiously female body-part focused episode of Taskmaster tonight, from Bridgets' Amniotic Fluid Hook story, to her baking little breasts on a milk island, and then Sophies' startling recreation of "L'Origine du Monde" (NSFW) in butter, broccoli and strawberry laces. Also startling: Bridget being the lone voice of practicality and sanity in the team task.

Loved it again. Show Off is one of those elegantly simple tasks, and it's got that Taskmaster edge by taking people out of their comfort zone. Having all that build-up to see Ardal repeat what Chris has been doing, at smaller scale, with much less success - a classic edit for sure. And surprised that none of them quite saw the twist coming in the edible sculptures ("that means you can eat it" - Bridget). Even though the toilet roll task has been seen before in New Zealand Taskmaster (and in fact the Swedish version too), I think basing the order of throwing on tower height was novel. I can also see why they're more keen to re-use proven live tasks. You can choose to leave out a pre-filmed task if it's lacklustre, imbalanced or unfunny. But you're committed to the live task. And the ending was certainly high drama!

The show off task was amazing. Bridget's gradual scaling down from an already fairly modest showing off of throwing two balls into two different buckets on different levels from afar to throwing one ball into one bucket from up close was heart-breaking and hilarious. It's a good thing, I reckon, she couldn't get a gun or an axe.
