I’ve seen the first 8 seasons so far and 6 is absolutely the worst. The least interesting tasks, too many contestants trying to be “the crap one”, and Greg’s obvious crush on Liza Tarbuck being some of the bigger issues.

It does seem very odd to me that this thread is gonna start with season 3 based on a podcast most people probably won’t listen to

Oh I just realised season 9 has David Baddiel in it. That dude’s become such a piece of poo poo that I’m honestly considering skipping it

Watching through season 9 and it’s very good. Rose Matafeo and Ed Gamble are extremely funny and Katy Wix’s innocent energy is great too. And whoever said David Baddiel being hilariously useless makes up for what a shitheel he is irl was right

I'm on ep 2 of Season 6 and I think it's already my least favourite season so far. Russell Howard has always left me cold, and his smug demeanour in this so far isn't helping his case. Lisa doesn't feel like she's trying all that hard. Tim Vine feels like he's way out of his depth and knows it. Alice I'm enjoying, and Asim I don't have a handle on yet.

It’s definitely my least favourite to date. 7 is one of the best though, so you got that to look forward to!

I still wanna watch the US Taskmaster for Funches and Kate Berlant but it sounds worse and worse every time it gets brought up

Anyway taking a small break after finally catching up with the UK show. Charlotte Ritchie is so adorably useless

I did enjoy watching Victoria watching the ball going in and the dawning realisation that perhaps she should have stopped it.

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

Fern’s whole deal made a lot more sense to me when I saw on her twitter that she has autism (and makes it part of her brand a lot)

I think she’s great

Don't think this will rank among my favorite seasons, but I'm really going to miss Fern, Kearns, and Munya being on this show. They're each so chaotic in their own special ways that I could watch a whole other season with em'.

This season having so many wild cards makes up for Dara being so insanely boring and trying too hard to actually win most of the time

I think this is one of the best of the B-tier seasons if you get me. Not an all-timer like a 5/7/12, but very good.

I criticized Dara earlier, but I do like him overall. I just dislike when people take the easy way out of tasks.

Basically this. I didn’t anticipate it would lead to such a fiery debate haha

Mae Martin has a pretty good show called Feel Good on Channel 4 in the UK and Netflix internationally. and yeah Boyle is very well-known (if an irritating shell of what he used to be). I don’t know the other three.

He hasn’t done anything bad I don’t think he’s just a pale imitation of his former self who sold out heavily. Hopefully will still be a fun contestant though

I really appreciate Greg and Alex respecting Mae's they/them pronouns.

Yeah that was really nice. Fun premiere, decent lineup, I really like Dean from Stath Lets Flats. Good contrast with him being competent but charismatic, Mae’s poise, Jenny losing her poo poo, and Ivo turning everything into an actual disaster. Also Frankie Boyle is there, I guess

I truly believe Victoria is the best Taskmaster contestant there has ever been. She will never be topped.
