Click here for a loud video that shows the S13 winner and company watching the show as Alex announced the final scores.Paladinus posted:Wish they could make final episodes more special somehow. I imagine the show's format and budget don't really allow for that, and keeping the more elaborate and flashy tasks evenly spread out works better for attracting casual viewers, but there's always a certain lack of finality to it all. While it's not quite the same as what you're asking, I do feel like what they try to do is pack some of the most entertaining tasks into the final episode. In particular the last filmed task, which seems to me to usually fall into one of two buckets: Really well-solved tasks: e.g. S5 song for a stranger, S12 best proposal, S6 express your love for TM Big chaotic fiasco tasks: e.g. S7 bind yourself/klaxon, S9's seven envelopes, S11 activate Jamali I think they were going for the former here, while it can't quite measure up to song for a stranger, The House Queens was a pretty great track.

They should do it like the Premier League final day and have all the tasks filmed simultaneously on the day of recording. Just need to make sure the environment doesn't matter too much, have them all in the house together.

A bunch more outtakes just went up on the YouTube channel, including what I assume is the banter that was missing from one episode (I guess it just got cut for time, it's a pretty good banter section) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9UASo0iAQM

Ardal's biting commentary on stage was amazing. Bridget Christie is new to me, and watching her do *anything* was fascinating. I'd watch a Sophie Ducker Netflix special. I'd replace Siri/Alexa with Chris' voice if I could. Maybe I can make my text alert "No Way!" Judi is okay. I already knew her from "This is My House," a show that showed some interesting promise then kinda pissed it away.

Great cast all around and pulling the basket off the bike is probably the best "solution" to any task in any series. Its still going wrong just felt right.

Bridget, as the person who was trying to really laterally solve every task she could, found a way that worked brilliantly, only to mess up one of the rules. Alex definitely should've also tested that task more and assumed people wouldn't find the secret words

Honestly, kudos to them for making a task that could be exploited in so many ways. We have: - Take the basket off (Bridget) - Move the arrows (Sophie) - Physically block the bike (Judi, Sophie) - Assault the bike (Judi) They seem to lean towards making the more obvious lateral solutions disabled by the rules, but having a task where the gloves are off is a blast to watch as well.

My first thought was definitely either break the bike or throw Alex off the bike, but the basket coming off works too.Xelkelvos posted:Bridget, as the person who was trying to really laterally solve every task she could, found a way that worked brilliantly, only to mess up one of the rules. I don't think she was trying so much as she can't really seem to think non-laterally. She seems like she'd be pretty hard to work with, although it's funny to watch. Not surprising Alex got annoyed.

Yeah, Bridget was fascinating to watch because she absolutely wanted to play within the rules, but she just cannot function on that basis. I need to see more of her work to form a better opinion, but per this Taskmaster series, she's 99% alien and I'm into it. I need gifs of her taste-testing the pipette.

I don't want to diagnose someone on the basis of a very silly TV show, but remember the episode where part of the task was "don't take the fishtank out the room" and Bridget read that aloud, in no way registered any of the information, and immediately ran out of the room with the fishtank? Yeah, I got a message from a relative of mine who is a 38 year old woman recently diagnosed with ADHD, saying "That's what living in my head is like! That's ADHD in women! That's why I once left my child at the Tesco meat counter!"

I mean, that's ADHD in men too. We're not different really, women just aren't allowed to be ADHD-y which makes it all that much harder, and have to cope best they can still. Society rules are hard to play - especially when you can't remember them even as you're reading them!

I actually recognise most of these people from Have You Been Paying Attention NZ, which is a weekly news quiz thingy they do (and is often quite funny.)Pablo Bluth posted:Unfortunately my vpn of choice (Mullvad/Mozilla) didn't seems to work with nz tv at the moment.

I managed to forget for the entire time season 13 was airing that Bridget Christie is married to Stewart Lee. That must be the most bizarre household. I’m glad Sophie won she was my favourite this season

Been thinking about potential future contestants and how good Lee Evans would be in the "elder statesman" role if he could be coaxed out of retirement. Imagine he'd need three or four changes of outfit instead of the regulation two just to deal with all the sweating though.

Instead of the usual "I want X", what are people's (realistic/feasible*) nightmare line-up? I've come up with: James Cordon: a regular series appearance would need his talkshow to finish, but a NY appearance is possible. Davina McCall: TM would probably make me like her, but normally she rubs me the wrong way. Brendan O'Carroll: Despite being awful, Mrs Brown's Boys was big. I haven't decided on the remaining two. * no dead people, or Americans who wouldn't appear on British TV.

Ricky Gervais, Rachel Riley and Graham Lineham could all realistically appear and would all be awful (Lineham seems unlikely now but a few years ago he'd probably have snuck in).
