    ------------
    In this Broadcast Award-winning, BAFTA and Emmy Award-nominated entertainment show, Taskmaster tyrant Greg Davies (Man Down, Cuckoo), with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne (The Horne Section and the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians.
    Comedians that have risked life, limb, and dignity in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud so far include: Frank Skinner (The Frank Skinner Show), Mel Giedroyc (The Great British Bake Off), Romesh Ranganathan (Asian Provocateur), Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Rose Matafeo (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2018), and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour). Unaware of what awaits them in each wax-sealed envelope, only one competitor can become the victorious owner of His Royal Task-ness’ golden head and be crowned the next Taskmaster Champion.

    I love that katherine's approach to the sauna stone task is to try spitting, knowingly fail, then ask someone from the crew to do the spitting. The whole point of spitting is that you cant go past the rope, so if someone else is doing the spitting for you they could just walk up to it or pour water on it.

    Had to say I was surprised that despite being a huge Tasmaster fan Ed didn't recognise Mike's prize task as being deliberately broken - especially considering this is essentially what he did in the original show at the Fringe for the "Post Alex the biggest thing" task (he went with a gigantic ice statue on small wooden plinth).

Thank you for providing such fun talk about my new favorite show.

    I only found out a few months back that pipe cleaners were meant to clean smoking pipes. I had a very hard time finding pipe cleaners that weren't for crafts (needed sturdy ones) and was referred to the tobacco section of the store. Very confused, I asked "Why tobacco?" The lady answered "For cleaning pipes" And a light bulb went on.

    About the "get all of your luggage through the maze" task, I think you could've just grabbed the passport, walked through the maze (or enter it at a later point) and present your passport, without carrying any of the bags. Because nowhere does it say "those bags are your luggage". If Alex asks where the luggage was, you could say "I didn't bring any luggage".
    But as Ed and Katherine say, I imagine it's very hard to figure that out while reading the task. It says "all of your luggage" and there's bags and a trolly. So your brain immediatly makes the connection.

    Mike's smashed prize was definitely just a box of glass and was never actually a sculpture. At least that's what I assumed. I couldn't believe it when I heard Ed and Katherine talking about how it was a shame that the statue smashed. There was no statue.

    I think part of what ruined this series for me was the underserved special treatment Katherine received in contrast to the harsher scoring Maawan was subjected to. It's funny when Greg teases the perpetual screw up, but he couldn't tease Katherine bcuz she was always ready to burst into tears: so it fell on Maawan who really wasn't doing poorly, and it felt really unfair. If she'd been a better sport, it would have been entirely different.
