    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.

He didn’t do anything against the rules, and the points are always determined solely by the taskmaster’s discretion so arguing that he shouldn’t get them is meaningless. Do you really think the taskmaster didn’t have a full explanation ahead of time? Plus they showed the video in front of everyone so they knew the actual object size lol. He gave him the points for the creativity. If you get a perfect score in a dunk contest but thought someone else deserved the win, you would still win because it’s the judge’s opinion that matters not your own.

Perfectly valid interpretation of the rules that Greg was going to allow, he just happened to draw an awful portrait. He wasn't even disqualified, so in the end, Greg did allow it.
