Between his tantrum on the beach during the eat/throw/balance task and his face during the get the ball through the hoop task I'm pretty sure Nish really wanted to at least do better than he did.

I forgot how much fun Tim Vine is. The tracksuit task followed by the ‘heaviest plastic bag’ task. Classic Taskmaster.

Asim had it right "Tim Vine is a lovely man, a wonderful man. But he's loving weird." But at the same time, Liza Tarbuck is a loving weirdo too. If it were just one or the other I think the season would have been better.

Tim Vine achieved the impossible of making me laugh at a pun. Granted, he made dozens that didn't hit to get this one, and a lot of it was the setup that Taskmaster did for him, but he eventually got there. Tracksuit

I will miss Team Angry Dad and His Disappointing Son. I will also miss Kiells' baffled face in the studio as he realises how he hosed up a task. I will not miss that creepy puppet Mae brought in, good lord, that was amazingly horrible!

Have to say, Copy Alex Mk II is a work of intricate genius. The individual actions look random at first, but they're actually almost all interwoven. Skipping an early step (which seems to carry quite a light penalty) almost always screws you over in a later step. If you elected not to eat your banana, you can't put the skin in the jar, etc. And of course it's Ivo who treats us to a proper display of that. Think I would have given the edge to the team of two in their final task, because their lullaby was properly tailored to their chosen profession. Team of three turned it into "artist baby", and lost sight of the professional angle. Edit: If like me you watched on demand, you won't have seen the S16 teaser, so here's the twitter version https://twitter.com/taskmaster/status/1664376092210380800 Heavy_D fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Jun 1, 2023 |

Ok hooray they revealed them! Lucy Beaumont definitely seems like she’s gonna end up as an all-timer contestant she is a hilarious lunatic. This was the first I’d seen of Sam but he’s extremely good. Sue and Julian great of course. Susan is the one I got the least of a sense of (idk if that makes sense grammatically I am tired) from the taping but she did seem funny. It’s a great group and the premiere is amazing, cannot wait for the whole season The task from that vid isn’t from the premiere if anyone was wondering e: oh gently caress Susan was in Year of the Rabbit! well she was amazing in that so Escobarbarian fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Jun 2, 2023 |

Funniest thing to me was the start of the episode. I'm sitting there wondering if we'll see an unlikely upset and immediately Kiell goes -3 and then -5 to Mae lol. Still a fun episode though I thought. Definitely going to miss Frankie and Ivo, as well as Kiell. Jenny was fun too but I won't miss her more than the average Taskmaster contestant and Mae was delighful but boring. Frankie and Ivo were the Taskmaster team I never knew I always wanted and Kiell was like an Ed Gamble competitive indignity machine turned up to 11.

It's easy to say what I'd do watching from home, but considering that I don't like the texture of bananas I'd like to think that I'd eat (lol) the 10 seconds and peel the banana so at least I was in parity with Alex. Also, I fully expect I wouldn't think of that in the moment.

Another great moment I forgot to gush about: Kiell's impressions of the other four contestants deciding not to use the hose. Particularly enjoyed the notion that Jenny would try to use it, fail to find it, and give up in the span of 10 seconds. Gonna have to show Alex a yellow card for patter theft though: you can't take the best joke from the S13 finale ("...and Bez") and reuse it in the S15 finale without it being really jarring.

My strategy would be to do as much as possible while Alex was still doing it (I don't think the card said you could only do stuff 'on the clock') then watch the clock to press at the right time. But now my strategy would be to do nothing then press the clock ten seconds late.

Paladinus posted:Repeating literally nothing would land you in second, I believe. But it's a risky strategy. I think doing nothing is actually the winning strat. Most actions took more than 10 seconds, so if you just immediately mashed the button your “turn” would only take 1-2 seconds, leaving you with an enormous amount of time above Alex, because the penalty was only -10 seconds

Mae's Greg puppet looked just like Harry Hill's Lord Sugar puppet. Uncanny. It was a shame that the studio task was a bit of a damp squib through no fault of their own.

Did forfeiting a turn add 10 seconds to your time, or 10 seconds to the difference in your times? Logically it should be scored the second way, but this show seldom logical.
