I am very curious about this little crescendo
Lucy and Sam are doing a podcast: https://x.com/lucyabeaumont/status/1731980073031327984?s=46&t=7Rx75FTpCIHNOOQA_W4LrQ

If it wasn't way after the series ended and another CoC wasn't years away, I'd think it was for a task.

Yeah, seconding the new series of Taskmaster Minnesota. My one reservation when recommending season 1 was that the audio was touch-and-go; understandable for an fan-made creation, but often a bit distracting. If that put you off the first season, happy to report that it's a big improvement this time.

The care that's gone into matching the real thing shows from the opening task, and the thought put into selecting and presenting it. The edit gives us our first impressions of the competitors by taking the time to show people's reactions to the doll, combined with the responses to the task that are fairly varied in both concept and level of execution. Plus there are two utter catastrophes which are very funny to watch.

Taskmaster MN has some other fun stuff like shots of the camera guy dying of laughter, tasks edited in the style of other shows, and a speed boat (personally I'm hoping for more boat based tasks).

Sucks for them, but I'll be honest, I'm 100% on board with the substitution.

Mae was one of those contestants who for me fell on the wrong side of competent vs funny. Herring and Ó Briain are two others that come to mind.

But I realise I used the wrong pronoun and you are free and right to poo poo on me for it.

I felt like Dara rode the line successfully, though even still the idea of Sarah Kendall (who even made fun of herself for being too dry at times), Dara, and Mae all in the same CoC had me dreading it a little.

Out of all contestants I have seen, Dara seemed most like a purpose-trained athlete blowing all other contestants out of water. Like a Usain Bolt of Taskmaster.

Dara was very good at one-liners in the studio. In any case, with Morgana, Sophie, and now Kiell it will have more than enough whimsy.

Poor Mae, not being able to participate, but also good on them for building a successful career in the states.

I can't wait to see Kiell, Morgana, and Sophie in the same room.

Got my Taskmaster Christmas Crackers today. It's six crackers in a package, and I thought I would be able to give them out as little individual stocking stuffers, but it turns out they all kinda go together as part of one big game.

Kind of feels like CoC is the sort of thing you work around schedules for and wait until everyone's available.

Unless they just said nah don't wait for me which is entirely possible.

They do have to work around 7 different celebrity schedules (contestants plus Greg and Alex) plus the crew. It might have been the only window. I feel like from what we know of them the Taskmaster crew are big on accommodating people so I can't imagine it was something they did lightly.

my only speculation here is that they wanted to avoid a CoC II situation where it took years and years to get the episode out.

The Norwegian Taskmaster Christmas special had a great task. They had 8 minutes to ask yes/no questions from a person dressed as a Santa to determine their identity. Fewest guesses wins.
They didn't have to get it right, winner was the person who asked the fewest questions. The only person who got the identity right went bananas when she realized it.

Would definitely go if there was a show in my area. Guess I'll settle for buying the album if it gets released on her website or bandcamp.
