Just finished the 3rd series. Personally I love when Jeremy scores a task by giving them all 5, it's the same as giving them all 0, and I'm sure that's on purpose.

Jeremy doesn't get impish enough with the scoring. There are hints of it here and there, but Greg has absolutely scored things in ways merely because it gives him joy to spite you, the viewer.

Kongen Befaler started again last night. Espen and Henriette are both comedy legends in their own right, but the three others suffer from Westerdals-syndrome. They have no practical or life skills, but have had a media/entertainment education, got a TV/radio gig straight out of school, and must entertain you at any cost, usually by being the most disruptive and loudest in the room.

I liked that one of the contestants is so non famous that the production crew mistook him for the new chef.

Is that a leak from a studio recording? I'm amazed at how well they keep it under wraps. If I lived or worked in London I'd be tempted to go by the house every day just to try and catch a sight of future contestants.

Katherine Parkinson showed you can be totally out of your depth, fall flat on your face and the TM producers will find a way to make "Yes, I'll be on TM" look like a wise decision. just don't bring in any home-made clay face masks

If TM has taught us anything, you really can't tell who will be good or bad until it happens. I have always thought X or Y would be terrible, but ends up being one of the best of the lot, or has good episodes or such. And holy poo poo just noticed they have Denmark/Sweden/Norway first series on their YT channel!

For anyone who can't wait for the new season to start, good news, there's 380 unofficial episodes you can read all about, https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Taskmaster%20(UK%20TV)%20RPF/works To be fair, a lot of the episode titles do work pretty well for this kind of thing.

Wouldn't surprise me if that person was in, since Greg Davies has said on a few different occasions that he'd like to have that person as a contestant.

Looking forward to it Superrodan! Quick foreign franchise roundup before the show returns to the UK Kongen Befaler kicked off their sixth season and continues to impress. Every task except the live one was original - I particularly enjoyed their prize task category: "The thing that you don't deserve". I've seen a couple of episodes of Taskmaster Quebec and it's certainly been faithful to the format: prize task, live task, five fixed panellists, and apparently team tasks (although none have aired yet). You'll have seen most of the tasks before - the most obscure thing was the prize in the second episode was "the ugliest thing you own", which has apparently been seen before, but only in the Belgian version. The cast seem to be good at the in-studio banter, and the taskmaster puts his stamp on awarding points by overriding the objective side of a task at will: he'll give five points to the bridge that actually looks like a bridge, and give the one that got the potato highest second place. Stormester still hasn't quite started airing yet, but they've released some exciting news in the meantime. They will be the first international version of the show to have a Champion of Champions, bringing back the S1-5 winners for four (!) episodes in the near future. They have also teased four more episodes with returning panellists but kept their exact identities secret. Suspect this is the oft suggested "Loser of Losers" or something in that mould - fingers crossed they got Heino back.
