I always find a new favorite contestant each series, yet I watch old clips and then a new or old favorite emerges. The casting on this show is just amazing
They hadn't read the task. Usually such preparation tasks where they are posed or made to wear something come with instructions like "Do not remove the blindfold." As such, it is very reasonable to assume that untying themselves would DQ them until they are in a position to actually read the task and see there is nothing that forbids it. Unfortunately for Ian, it was moving the bucket that was illegal in this one, but he never even considered that before moving it in a panic to not make a mess, even though he had no clue what the task was yet.
@@Aviertje he did that after reading the task - he thought it was that he couldnt touch the bucket and then rechecked to see it was that he cant move the bucket
I am more surprised to see that nobody thought of simply asking Alex to move the bucket B under bucket A and then just unplug the hole and wait. The task says _you_ may not move the bucket
@@ih8people such a boring way of doing things, I'm glad contestants don't take advantage of Alex too much. Literally every task on taskmaster could be circumvented by asking Alex to do it. There's always someone in the comments "JuSt AsK AlEx!!!!"
Keep the bucket hole plugged for long enough to think of a good plan. E.g. Take some item of clothing off, line the colander with that. Or line it with tons of loo roll/the paper the task is written on. Fill it to the brim before emptying it a couple of times.
@@theoptimist5366; same as the other one about making a tower of cans, nobody had to keep the noose around their body (but one did manage to notice that)
You can line the inside of the colander with toilet roll, and then just use it like a bowl to transfer the sand. If you want to plug up the hole it might be possible to also use the toilet paper to stopper it while you build your transferring device.
To everyone that's coming here and saying they all touched the sand: I think that rule was more so along the ideas of you can't transport sand via your hands. As in you can't scoop handfuls of sand and put it into the bucket
Each person that tried to plug the bucket back up could have been gotten on "time stops when the sand stops". So arguably, Sian got no sand in bucket B.
That would be the way Greg judged it. He was kind in this series. In series 10 they had the several 'you may not' tasks and Greg disqualified them each time they made even the tiniest mistake (The first task, bring these drinks from the phone booth to the caravan they all got DQ'd and one of them spilt one or two drops I think). In that series Greg was absolutely brutal, but in several other series he was being very nice.
there are so many solutions here. break the string so you dont have to take the tape off of the hole and then scoop the sand out of the top with the cups. allow the sand to poor out with one shoe in each of your hands, and dump one shoe while the other fills (don't wait until they're both full to dump). lay your jacket over the colander so it fills without those pesky holes. take off your pants and tie one of the pant legs closed to collect the sand. *pull the bottom of the plastic curtain hanging on the left wall towards the floor bucket so the sand travels across the curtain and into the bucket.* take off that jump suit that i think i saw one of the guys wearing and tie one of the legs off near the waist, and then let the sand funnel down the arm sleeve, through the remaining pant leg, and out into the bucket, using the broom/lacrosse stick for added rigidity if you find you can't hold it straight. sit in the corner and pray to god; if that doesn't work, pray to satan. tilt the table at a 45 degree angle and hold the wood against the table top firmly to form a funnel, filling any gaps resulting from uneven surfaces with toilet paper. roll the clue paper into a tube and join that with the toilet paper tube to see if that's long enough to get the sand falling in the right direction. or even unscrew the ends from either the broom, lacrosse stick, or table legs so it's just a tube and let the sand fall through the tube into the bucket. you literally could have beaten most methods that people tried in this video just by filling your safety goggles and letting sand dump on the floor whenever you emptied the goggles. easier said from behind a computer screen though i guess
My first instinct would be to drag the table under bucket A, then use the items to scoop the sand towards bucket B. You could also wrap your hands in tp catch and transfer. But lining the colender woth tp would provably be the best method. It does say when the send stops, the task stops, which makes me wary of just putting tape back over the hole.
bro, just use your clothing items or your shoe to collect all the sand, which is probably the best item you've got available. they didn't say you have to use the stuff on the table.
My plan: Immediately knock everything off the table, grab the table itself, and position it holding one end up and with the other on the ground so that the sand lands on it and slides down the incline, falling off into the bucket.
The task didn't say you couldn't disconnect the string.... :D Anyone could have detached the string, set up a sand delivery chute, then sent the sand through it! The stress of facing these tasks on camera seems to melt even the best of brains! :)
Take your shirt up from the front and make a basket of it, let the sand in there, then dump it all. I cannot fathom how no-one thought of shirt basket…
all i could think of was covering the iron bowl with toilet paper on the inside, or pulling the inner core of the tp roll to make a sort of tube@@Ydrakar
@@goatman86 That also occurred to me. No matter what, start by removing the string from your wrist. I might try using the table as a slide, but maybe just line the inside of the colander with the paper instructions, and maybe some tissue from the roll.
The person who kept his hand tape to the bucket still and used the tea cup almost had the best idea, I would of took my goggles off and used them lol they can hold more sand and don’t have to move anywhere
Armchair solving: Release yourself from the string (task says nothing about that). Lou could use her tea mug she brought with her. Otherwise, take off your shoes or another piece of clothing and use that.
I was thinking free yourself and build a slide for the sand out of the table, or even better, the curtain. Then release the sand when the slide is fully operational. I just wonder why they didn't stop, calm down and think it over. It was not a fastest wins task, they had all the time to think about it. Surely in 10-15 mins they could have come up with something, other than mindlessly attacking the sand with flip-flops.
You say "release yourself" like that would be easy both with one hand and without dislodging the tape, and you've managed to reach the task without pulling the tape already (the tape releasing the sand and the timing being related to the sand is what really creates frantic behaviour, which is why this task is amazing)
Rip down a section of the clear plastic sheeting Place sheet flat on floor release sand onto sheet, wait pickup and twist into a large ball > squash the whole bag into bucket OR stick a hole in it to drain like a piping bag > hold over bucket
Interesting that Joe had a decent system going to start that would've gotten most the sand in the bucket but he eventually just says fuck it and pulls the tape off
@@tomorowsnobodys - I've seen that, too. Sometimes I see these and wonder "Why the h*ll didn't they think of " I'm not saying I am a genius or anything, but sometimes it seems very obvious.
@@frankhurst9665i mean, we have the advantage of not having to do these tasks real time, with the pressure of a camera crew filming. it’s a lot easier to say what they should do when you don’t have to actually do it
Those lacrosse sticks are usually hollow on the inside, with the basket and cap at the other end able to be removed, perfect sand pipe Edit: although knowing this game, it was almost definitely just short of connecting the two buckets lol
At this point, I'm always waiting if there's a twist. In this case, something like the stick of the broom being hollow and the exact length between the buckets or something.
My first thought was: Step 1, get your hand out of the dang string loop. Then I would check to see if the plastic sheeting on the wall could be detached from the bottom and used as a sluice to divert the falling sand right into Bucket B.
I was thinking maybe line the colander with the toilet paper, that way you could at least fill it all the way up without losing hardly any sand- i.e. putting the toilet paper inside the colander. You'd have to be quick to do it, but the pay-off would be worth it.
I'm surprised no one used the blatantly obvious solution. Reading the task again: YOU may not move the bucket. So....ask Alex to do it! Have him position it directly underneath and pull the tab. Pretty much guarantees you the win, unless Taskmaster Greg deems that cheating for some arbitrary reason.
there was a bunch of that “I can’t do thing but Alex can” in season 1. I suspect, in the spirit of the rules, the producers eventually asked the contestants to stop doing that, or every task would have to repetitively say “you may not ask Alex to do anything you are prohibited from doing”
@@rjhornsbyyeah because it basically applies to every task, because they the tasks directed towards the participants not Alex. It’s a bit unfair. I’m assuming that the producers will give them a smalll hint if Alex could have some sort of way to act out something that the task do-ers aren’t allowed to do. BUT IT MAKES FOR FUN CLIPS!
"You may not touch the sand" ... Lou has it spill all over her hands and then sticks her hand over the hole blocking the sand from falling by.... touching it. ... And the winner is Lou Sanders! Greg really is slipping with his job as Taskmaster, Iain is the only one who admitted to touching the sand even though they all did it
before you unplug the bucket, remove your trousers and ball up one of the legs, then aim the other leg into the floor bucket and align the top of the trousers under the bucket hole. The sand travels down the trouser leg into the bucket, you should get near 100%
@@ClumsyCars Gravity would cause most of the sand to slide down the trouser leg and into the lower bucket just fine I'd imagine, a little shake near the end should clear any blockages
I don't understand why no one used the table. I'd have gone for that first! Let it fall on the table and push it off into the bucket with the flip flop.
Grasp the bottom of the plastic sheeting forming the wall opposite the table with two hands and pull it under Bucket A, careful not to tear the top away from the ceiling. With one hand on either side of the stream of sand, a channel the flow into Bucket B.
I should imagine the clue card itself, bent and angled correctly, held under bucket A , would have diverted practically all of the sand into bucket B. They were not all that far apart.
But the paper would fall out every time she emptied the collander. What I would have done was untie my wrist then unscrew the handle from the push broom. It appears to be a metal handle, which means it's hollow.
Just pull the entire table to you and then slant it so the sand runs down it from one bucket to the next, then just hold that angle until the sand stops.
What annoys me is that it looks like all the distances were the same for everyone, even though some of them (Sian) are not as tall as others, which makes it much more difficult and unfair from the beginning.
Easy loophole - take your hand out of the adjustable knot that ties you to the tape in the first place since the rules never once said you have to leave it on. Second place some toilet paper inside the colander to block the holes and use that to get all the sand after yanking the tape off
The bucket already had tape on it could’ve just taped it back up and if not than I would’ve just stuffed the hole the sand was coming out of with the toilet paper, wrap the bowl with holes with toilet paper and move it that way
I would have grabbed the boom. The handle is hollow metal and it looked like the screw attaching it to the brush had been removed, so the top of it could have probably been taken off too, creating a direct pipe from one bucket to the other.
Carefully remove the hand from the loop without the sand starting to fall (coz it doesnt say you cant). Should have told Alex to go and get a piece of 3" pipe about 8ft long or a piece of cardboard/carpet of same length. Failing that, take off trousers or top, tie a knot in the legs/arms and let the sand pour in (coz it doesnt say you have to only use the things on the table). Transfer sand to bucket B.
I love trying to solve the puzzles - anyone else? I think I would have tried to unscrew the top and the base of the broom and use it as a chute, with taskmaster paper as a funnel. Failing that, knock everything off the table and use the table itself as a slope to send the sand in the right direction. Failing that, cry.
Simple solution Step one remove article of clothing. Step two use article of clothing to line strainer/colander. Step three collect the ninety or so percent of the sand that hasn’t fallen out in the handful of seconds required to complete steps one and two using your jacket, sweater, or shirt. Step four dump collected sand in bucket b. Step five shake remaining sand from article of clothing. Step six do laundry when you get home.
Grab the mango, smash it. Grab the toilet paper, wipe the mango mash to get it mushy. The gooey paper will now gum up the holes in the collander/strainer. Add sand - the bottom layer will solidify to the papermash and form a solid bowl. Win.
I wonder if you would have been able to remove the string from your hand with the tape still on the bucket. Then take the bottom and top of the broom of and used the hollow inside as a tunnel.
Well the best method i can think of, assuming you have fantastic balance, is to line the collander with strips of toilet paper to block the holes, then catch the sand
No rule against using the plastic sheeting. or untying yourself either. i would have done both or used something i was wearing to transfer personally. loved the triple threat moment for sure though
Did the task say anything about removing the the string from the wrist if so what about removing the string from the tap or plug and then think of a plan like using the handle of the broom and if it’s plastic or metal it’s probably hollow or line the colander with toilet paper
I was hoping someone would have gone broom or lacrosse stick, the poles are hollow if you can maange to get ends off. I would have tried grabbing plastic off the wall or angle the table
There was a plank of wood, they could've made a little sand bridge with that straight into the bucket, or just untied their wrist thingy before reading the task, there were no rules against that
yes, but i assume it was a loose rule just to make sure they wouldnt just scoop up sand from the ground and put it in the bucket. they should have found a way to word it better i think
Step 1: Tip the table so everything falls off Step 2: move the table to under the bucket step 3: tip the table so it functions like a ramp into the bucket.
you couldent have taken the toilet paper and then stuffed it into the hole of the bucket to stop the sand from running out, and then lined the strainer with toilet paper to move the sand? Or lined something else with toilet paper? But i really do like that Ian just went fuck it lets leave the room as well! :D
First, wrap toilet paper around the bucket, so the sand keeps inside (hopefully). The put layers of toilet paper in the colander, put it below the bucket with sand and fill it up, then pour sand in other bucket.

@@ClumsyCars Gravity would cause most of the sand to slide down the trouser leg and into the lower bucket just fine I'd imagine, a little shake near the end should clear any blockages
I don't understand why no one used the table. I'd have gone for that first! Let it fall on the table and push it off into the bucket with the flip flop.
Grasp the bottom of the plastic sheeting forming the wall opposite the table with two hands and pull it under Bucket A, careful not to tear the top away from the ceiling. With one hand on either side of the stream of sand, a channel the flow into Bucket B.
I should imagine the clue card itself, bent and angled correctly, held under bucket A , would have diverted practically all of the sand into bucket B. They were not all that far apart.
Would have loved if they replayed the clip of Lou touching the sand in the scoring, just to see her reaction 😂 points well deserved though
When lou put the tissue paper on the outside of the collider I almost cried. If she had just used the paper on the inside to block the holes!
But the paper would fall out every time she emptied the collander. What I would have done was untie my wrist then unscrew the handle from the push broom. It appears to be a metal handle, which means it's hollow.
personally would've tried to take off my shoes and use those to catch the sand
Just pull the entire table to you and then slant it so the sand runs down it from one bucket to the next, then just hold that angle until the sand stops.
but she still won so ...

The end with the screw thread is closed. The end at the other end is also closed.
Tear some tarp off the wall and funnel the sand into bucket B...
What annoys me is that it looks like all the distances were the same for everyone, even though some of them (Sian) are not as tall as others, which makes it much more difficult and unfair from the beginning.
yeah, I'm glad that in future tasks they seem to take that into account. At least, in live tasks, can't think of any examples from task propers.
it's probably still better than when they adjusted the task with horses for Roisin and then disqualified her based on their own adjustment :D
@@carnifaxx is that one on TH-cam? I don’t think I’ve seen that one.
@@rachelcookie321 it's called Paint A Picture Of A Horse, While Riding A Horse - FULL TASK
@@carnifaxx thanks!
Easy loophole - take your hand out of the adjustable knot that ties you to the tape in the first place since the rules never once said you have to leave it on. Second place some toilet paper inside the colander to block the holes and use that to get all the sand after yanking the tape off
It always shocks me that no one used their shoes or articles of clothing
The bucket already had tape on it could’ve just taped it back up and if not than I would’ve just stuffed the hole the sand was coming out of with the toilet paper, wrap the bowl with holes with toilet paper and move it that way
I would have grabbed the boom. The handle is hollow metal and it looked like the screw attaching it to the brush had been removed, so the top of it could have probably been taken off too, creating a direct pipe from one bucket to the other.
No one realized un looping themselves from the bucket was fair game
5:30 is Iain's funniest moment in the series. Very relatable.
Carefully remove the hand from the loop without the sand starting to fall (coz it doesnt say you cant). Should have told Alex to go and get a piece of 3" pipe about 8ft long or a piece of cardboard/carpet of same length. Failing that, take off trousers or top, tie a knot in the legs/arms and let the sand pour in (coz it doesnt say you have to only use the things on the table). Transfer sand to bucket B.
im surprised noone untied thier wrists.
The task does not say they couldn't take their hands out of the string.
I love trying to solve the puzzles - anyone else?
I think I would have tried to unscrew the top and the base of the broom and use it as a chute, with taskmaster paper as a funnel. Failing that, knock everything off the table and use the table itself as a slope to send the sand in the right direction. Failing that, cry.
from hong kong, here to see Ian
he is so awesome
Simple solution
Step one remove article of clothing.
Step two use article of clothing to line strainer/colander.
Step three collect the ninety or so percent of the sand that hasn’t fallen out in the handful of seconds required to complete steps one and two using your jacket, sweater, or shirt.
Step four dump collected sand in bucket b.
Step five shake remaining sand from article of clothing.
Step six do laundry when you get home.
5:26 my attitude towards any sort of work
I take the ends of the broom off and now you have a tube to let the sand flow
ask alex to move the bucket?
release the sand plug, knock everything off the table and lift the table to make a ramp to deflect the sand into the other bucket.
I'm looking at the broomstick thinking would I think in the moment to take the ends off and use it to funnel the sand to the next
After watching a few seasons of Taskmaster I realise that Paul is absolutely right. Someone will fuck up.
Oooh that broom was the solution they're hollow if you take em apart
Grab the mango, smash it.
Grab the toilet paper, wipe the mango mash to get it mushy.
The gooey paper will now gum up the holes in the collander/strainer.
Add sand - the bottom layer will solidify to the papermash and form a solid bowl.
Win.
I'm so surprised no one tried using the wood on the table as a ramp for the sand to go down! That would had been my idea
I wonder if you would have been able to remove the string from your hand with the tape still on the bucket. Then take the bottom and top of the broom of and used the hollow inside as a tunnel.
Let the sand fall.
Use the paper as a dust pan.
You have a broom.
Well the best method i can think of, assuming you have fantastic balance, is to line the collander with strips of toilet paper to block the holes, then catch the sand
No one tried to use the table itself!
No rule against using the plastic sheeting. or untying yourself either. i would have done both or used something i was wearing to transfer personally. loved the triple threat moment for sure though
Did the task say anything about removing the the string from the wrist if so what about removing the string from the tap or plug and then think of a plan like using the handle of the broom and if it’s plastic or metal it’s probably hollow or line the colander with toilet paper
use the tp to line the colander and use that to catch the sand.
I was hoping someone would have gone broom or lacrosse stick, the poles are hollow if you can maange to get ends off. I would have tried grabbing plastic off the wall or angle the table
Tissues on top of the colander.. let the sand flow
I'm wondering if that broom handle is hollow. Take the brush part off, uncap the handle, boom, simple metal chute.
I think if I was wearing a jumper i would have lifted it up at the front and made a scoop then just stood under the flow
Nowhere did it say you can't just take your hand out of the loop
There was a plank of wood, they could've made a little sand bridge with that straight into the bucket, or just untied their wrist thingy before reading the task, there were no rules against that
If only they laced the inside of the collinder with the toilet paper.
The actual loophole is that theres nothing in the task saying you cant take the string off your wrist. ;)
Did not everyone touch the sand?
yes, but i assume it was a loose rule just to make sure they wouldnt just scoop up sand from the ground and put it in the bucket. they should have found a way to word it better i think
Technically Lou would've been disqualified before the task even began if it were that strict lol.
Sand touched them, but I would say they did not touch the sand
Too bad they didn't use the best tool in the room. The rules didn't say anything about Alex moving the bucket.
use the table. slant it so that it guides the sand from bucket 1 to bucket 2.
Step 1: Tip the table so everything falls off
Step 2: move the table to under the bucket
step 3: tip the table so it functions like a ramp into the bucket.
I saw the answer on the table, the broom handle is a hollow aluminum tube.
"Don't touch the sand" while your hand is tied directly below where the sand comes down....
More of a "dont scoop the sand with your hands"
you couldent have taken the toilet paper and then stuffed it into the hole of the bucket to stop the sand from running out, and then lined the strainer with toilet paper to move the sand? Or lined something else with toilet paper? But i really do like that Ian just went fuck it lets leave the room as well! :D
Hindsight is a wonderful thing
Task is over when the sand stops. so you would end it early.
Or they could've used the goggles they were given before entering the room to transfer the sand
First, wrap toilet paper around the bucket, so the sand keeps inside (hopefully). The put layers of toilet paper in the colander, put it below the bucket with sand and fill it up, then pour sand in other bucket.
The fact it did not ocurr to any of them to line the drainer bowl with toilet paper and then use that.
I kept waiting for someone to use their own sneaker or shirt to catch the sand.
Just take the table and redirect the sand with it so it slides into the other bucket
The solution is to line the strainer with toilet paper, and use spit to make the toilet paper stick together inside so it doesn’t come apart.
I’m bummed none of them noticed the task didn’t say they had to leave their hand attached to the bucket.
