    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 didn't mind Paul, Sian and Joe individually, but the studio atmosphere just always rubbed me the wrong way. The chemistry is simply not quite there. That is my first rewatch of this season and have grown to enjoy individual parts, but it literally doesn't feel as "wholesome" as others. Again, just my opinion, Matt.

    - Joe looking absolutely baffled when Lou started talking about energy flowing through space and time
    - Greg a few episodes late getting to do the "do the worst thing to alex then apologize" task
    - Paul's absolute disregard for safety in the last task. I was so worried he was gonna wander into that car park full speed

Granted, I'd also argue that you can't actually erase (as in make it totally be gone) an eraser as the rubber bits left over from erasing are still the eraser. You would need chemicals to fully erase the eraser from existence by dissolving into something that is no longer an eraser.

    One of the funniest non contextual lines ever.
    and I love the way everyone enjoyed that joke as much as me.

    The scooter task is so god damn hilarious. I'm cry laughing at Paul's and Joe's attempts. I love this show so much.

      Next week even! Seems like they timed everything to finish so they can focus on series 11. (I think hometasking season 2 is also ending?)
      important edit: not next week, in the next 2 weeks. My bad. Sometimes you get dates wrong

      Makes me want to move to Britain. I imagine there are easier ways though.

    Just realized Alex can pull off the viking look really well. I would love to see an awkward viking character pop up in a show 😂😅

    I had to stop the buggy task because I was screaming with laughter so much. I love Taskmaster but that is my favourite EVER task so far.

    I loved Joe through this whole series. He's got a whole Eeyore vibe and I can't help but love him

    Obviously a majority of entertainment comes from contestants finding clever ways to get around the rules of tasks, but I think everyone felt "Put some fcking effort in". There needs to be some sort of redemption version of CoC. Joe, Acaster, and Rhod all deserve it.
