For anyone who may be wondering about the infamous aubergine task, Alex himself has confirmed that this was an unaired task that was only given to the boys team. In it, Chris had to literally put an aubergine in Ardal's mouth to get it across the garden, and apparently they did well together according to him. What ended up happening though is that they scrapped the task before giving it to the girls because they hadn't thought about the way the task could be interpreted (as aubergines are widely considered phallic in nature), though personally I think in the context of the boys' song (largely Ardal's contributions) it can still be interpreted in...interesting ways! The funny thing is that because they didn't want the girls to do it, they never even brought it up - Sophie even confirmed on the podcast that she had no idea what Chris and Ardal were talking about. So both teams were technically telling the truth about doing that task or not, it was Alex that decided to mess with them instead, lol.
Thank you for saying "series winner" instead of Sophie, because last season the lead comment said "Morgana" and I thought Well shit, now I know who wins...
Judi walking in and asking where Alex was... "Alex always helps!" is just such a phenomenal line, capturing her approach to all tasks prior. I mean, she had Alex stacking cups for her cup snake!
And the "annoying" on the duck at the end of it was a not so sublte hint about what Alex thought of her every time she completely ignored a part of the task.
Judi slowly descending backwards on Alex, while he frantically attempts to fix his get-away vehicle is like something out of a very niche horror film 😂
"You write the task. You didn't have to make yourself do that." "I do everything for him." That was some legit grade A dramatic acting! They deserve an award for that scene!!
The way Alex, innocently, and deadpan-ly delivered "Just so you know, you can store blood for 42 days" had me on the floor. Even he managed to get a shot in at Judi's nonsense lmao
Judi Love is an underrated good player. She's not playing to win, she's playing to make Greg laugh. She plays the losing role like an absolute legend, her bullshitting, surprised face when something she said/did doesn't land... Just impeccable.
Can...can we all talk about how absolutely SAVAGE Bridget was with the duck task?? She figured out the secret word aspect, and while loading the ducks, standing still,never once said another of the words just so Alex didn't get a break. I think there was a genuine malice involved there 😂
Or, you know, she was intent on fulfilling the timed task and didn't waste thought on what was happening around. Remember Alex mentioning that he was so busy fixing the trike that he didn't notice Judi bringing in multiple ducks at a time? Why assume malice?
This was the first series in a while where I would be happy in all five came back again for another series. Best series since series 7, and series 14 to come was just as good as this one.
@@mrquirky3626 I reaaaally hope they start to upload series 14, I have only heard good things about it, but where I am, you literally cannot watch it anywhere (except for sailing the high seas).
@@TetraDax I'm in Canada, and watched it months ago on a another TH-cam channel. I just did a search for it on TH-cam now and found 5 different channels with the full series. It's out there.
This series turned out to be easily one of my favorites! It has so many elements of previous seasons that i love, but it's also super fresh (bridget's constant swing between highly skilled and insane incompetence can't be replicated, not to mention just all of judy love). Amazing cast, and their dynamic was so great
It's genuinely so interesting that they all went for the big ducks first. It didn't gain them any points and just filled up the basket, so that less would fit.
It may be harder to get the big ducks to be stable in the basket when they're on top of smaller ducks while the smaller ducks can easily fit in between the bigger ducks.
@@russelljackson2818 and incredibly sweet. she clearly cared a lot about winning, but cared more about other people not feeling bad, particularly Judi. she helped her out several times to her own detriment to help her get an episode win despite the attempts potentially hurting her score.
I don\t think most of you caught on to how much she was putting up with. Greg has almost _always_ had a contestant that he regularly gives three points to in judging. Almost every time he gave her more, he also gave someone else the same # of points. That makes it *_really_** hard* to win when he puts such a ceiling above the person. Yeah, I said it. Bring it.
Love this series. I think this cast had some of the best chemistry we've ever seen. I think the duck task is a perfect example of Taskmaster. A silly task with many rules, with ways to go through loopholes. You see people just go head first (Chris and Ardal), people who try to think outside of the box (Bridget and Sophie), and then just the absolute nuttiness attempt (Judi)
Possibly the best final moments of a season in any season or any version of taskmaster. The whole gang in a circle having a blast and being awesome. Really felt the love between the contestants this season.
Unfortunately one of the qualifiers for codification is performing two miracles and since she didn't win the show that is a major opportunity to perform a miracle gone since it would have taken a miracle for her to win the show.
@@samdaley8484 It really does! And then I was thinking, "Well maybe Sophie's just really small," but then they showed the whole stage and suddenly Greg and Alex really are giants!
@@propio2957 Yeah the funny thing is that Little Alex Horne is in fact pretty tall. Greg is just abnormally giant that compared to him everyone seems little.
An amazing thing about her, too, is that she's always in control of the joke. I don't think there's a single point in the series where we're laughing at her expense.
@@bryan__mSeriously, that surprised me, especially because of her horrid ‘‘singing’’/vocalizing from within the transparent dome in one episode where Alex even eventually stepped in and spoke for me, the pained viewer, by telling her she “could” stop that now (or something to that effect).
Bridget just accepting when she doesn’t get points because she’s content enough in her life that it doesn’t bother her is so wholesome and the fact that it makes Greg furious is even better
Judy Love might have lost in points, but she was easily the most consistently hilarious contestant. She was one of those contestants that really makes the show.
Super underrated moment at 3:54 where Ardal tries to discredit Sophie's prize task and then Greg turns to him and he immediately realizes he's going to defend his entry
I can't understand why they don't all have a big discussion in the studio about how insane Bridget looks when she's tasting stuff. Her eyes roll up into her head!
This has been one of the most interesting seasons with a great diversity of tasks and personalities on display, some contestants managing to bring multiple along for the ride. If you don't show us the aubergine task, there's going to be a riot in the comments.
5:21 - There are two kinds of people in the world; those that are impressed that she knew what DNA stands for, and those who heard that and thought "It's Deoxy_RIBO_nucleic Acid, actually." To my shame, I must admit I am the latter.
Judy's work on the ducky bicycle task was pure comedic genius! I have tears running down my face :) The last shot of her riding the bike while Alex tries futilely to climb on is hilarious!
Series 7 used to be my favorite, but I think it might be 13 now. That season was fire, this one was electric. I really think it was the combination of the cast, it being the first real series after lockdown, and the first to have an audience again just had everybody on top form.
Out of all seasons I couldn't finish just one - the 10th. The guys there just didn't deliver it for me. Especially that dude with the beard (sorry for not remembering his name) who looks like he's 70 years old Santa while he's actually around 50. I was quite pissed anytime he in particular had to speak or do anything. But also the rest of the cast didn't make me sympathise with them enough to carry on despite that one. 12th season had a very warm vibe, but the contestants were older, and I couldn't find somebody of more or less my age so it felt a bit more distant. This 13th is very good, everybody is a character and a nice person. Fantastic work.
Sophie deserved the win, but I'd have been just as happy if Chris won. Bridget was, hands down, one of the weirdest contestants ever and the most entertaining by far.
Bridget is one of the rare contestants who not only know how to push Greg’s buttons, but also figured out how to push Alex’s in such a short time. And I absolutely love that about her
the series 12 and 13 casts bond is on a different level. I don't get to enjoy a lot of comedians from different countries but TM has always introduced these gems.
This series was delightful. And Sophie completely earned the win, with all the things she did for the wins. And I'm not sure how, but she somehow substantially infatuated me with her. 🎉
I love that Greg seem to be more generous on points this season when he can't decide ties mostly having 2-3 contestants having the same points and not always following the 1-5 rankings or scoring.
I haven't laughed so hard as watching her break his bike and getting in his way, and pretty much forcing him off his bike. I was *dying* with laughter.
What a fantastic series! I had never heard of any of them prior to this and they made for an incredible cast. None of them stood out by overshadowing any one of the others but they all worked together harmoniously. Greg Davies talks a lot about quotes and the funniest one to me was "don't do it sister queen" lmao
I AM SO HAPPY WITH THE WINNER this ending has been the most wholesome I've ever experienced 😭 sophie deserved this win so much especially after being kind despite being funny daring unpredictable and so smart. I love her bond with judy so much true sister queens 👸👸 I'd have been ok with chris winning too! he was always working hard and so wholesome. In a way I'm glad judy is last because still holding out hope for a losers of losers (though she's technically won that already with her points). Ardle was an amazing cast member as well and he's who I'll miss seeing the most. Ohmygod also the ending with the cast dance circle is so adorable.
Thank you for having the decency to put the spoiler below the "show more" button. Too many morons just inconsiderately put spoilers right up front, or even go back to episode one to leave comments about the series winner. It's nice to see somebody caring about others for a change.
@@azdgariarada no problem! i understand your pain 😢 I'm not in the uk so the jerks in the earlier episode comments were spoiling me on a series I'd waited 10 months to watch legally too.
I feel like it's very characteristic of Bridget that she gets the name for DNA so very nearly correct, but not exact. (It's Deoxy*ribo*nucleic acid) 5:18
@Gabby B - In fact, they’re both correct! The conventions for naming chemicals allow for a variety of names, so often which name you use will depend on when and where you went to school. 📜 Here’s a quote from a highly-cited paper, "Bending models of DNA: what they can and cannot do," by Vladimir B. Tief, published in _Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology_ in 2018; I’ll highlight the relevant part: “The unique structure of *_deoxynucleic acid (DNA),_* characterized by its helical nature and sequence-specific interactions with proteins, ensures that genomic information is both faithfully maintained and efficiently accessed.” And please note, _Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology_ has a high impact factor, and is among the top journals in the field of molecular and cell biology … so if “deoxynucleic acid” is good enough for *them,* it is also *certainly* good enough for _Taskmaster!_ I hope the above helps! :-)
@@danopticon I think that's an error in that paper, not a valid alternate form, but at least she's in good company. (The name comes from the sugar in the DNA backbone, which is deoxyribose, not deoxose.)
I'm so very glad this show exists. I wasn't familiar with any of the contestants as comedians in their own right (I'd only seen Ardle in Father Ted), but I genuinely grew to like each of them. Having said that, there's just such a brilliant vibe about Sophie! I'd love a pint with her when she's had a good day.
About to watch this episode and I’m actually so sad that it’s my last with this set of people. I love every single one of them for entirely different reasons. 💛 What a great crew
Okay, so I genuinely believe that *every* cast Taskmaster has *ever* had have been absolutely *FANTASTIC.* But this cast? Man are they just so, *SO* fucking good! Each of them on their own as well as the lot of them together, no matter which way, results in so much *hilarity* and *non-stop* entertainment! Thus, series 13 is *def* one of my all time favorite series of Taskmaster, and thus far, I’ve loved *each* and *every* series, from series 1 up through series 15!
This season is easily one of my favorites, the whole cast is great and everyone had multiple moments to shine, the tasks were fun (this episode's duck task has to be up there as one of the all time greats), and it all ended with a really wonderful and deserving winner!
Omg i love this season so much. Chris's energy has been sky high since the start and he is so happy for others. Judy spouting nonsense but making everyone care for her. Bridget being the funniest with her connection to tm personally. Ardal with his sneaky comments on everyones tasks. And sophie, who i didn't think i would like at first but now love, taking the crown. I wished this season kept going forever or they bring these guys back .
This season and cast easily go down as one of my favorites! I didn't know any of them at the start but by the end I've grown so fond of them. The way each episode had me in stiches- I'm going to miss them all 😭🧡
The bicycle task was peak Taskmaster. Silly objective, Alex debasing himself, clever lateral thinking, sheer physical anarchy, and contestants being done in by rules violations - it had it all!
I genuinely wasn’t expecting to love this series as much as I did. I’m not even entirely sure why. I guess it felt like everyone was there to have a good time and lift one another up than they were to compete or stoke their own ego. Really grateful to be able to watch these over here across the pond. Thank you.
The House Queens song is an absolute marvel. I find myself going back to it from time to time and I am realizing now how much better it is when compared to the other team.
hands down this set of contestants has one of my favorite dynamics so far! they're willing to tear each other down yet it turned out to be surprisingly wholesome loll not to mention the endlessss hilarious commentaries... i'll miss them for sure
Sophie was so genuinely happy to be champion, who'd have thought when the idea formed in Alex's head that he'd create something that would be so meaningful to win, Amazing!

Love it so much 😂❤

@@ericadunn9435 Squeaky leather can be a squick.
MY favorite part of Taskmaster is when the series winner stands next to Greg and you realize again how ginormous he is.
and how not little little alex horn is to make us forget that fact 😂
New conspiracy theory: Greg Davies is average sized and the contestants are children in trench coats.
She looks tiny next to Greg and Alex!
Greg Davies is allegedly 6 foot, 8 inches tall.

That and the montage of Bridgette walking
Without.
Moving.
The Fishbowls.
And the "annoying" on the duck at the end of it was a not so sublte hint about what Alex thought of her every time she completely ignored a part of the task.

@levilore_7126 For whatever reason, the calmness of her “Alex get down” sends me every time.
Who would’ve thought that Judi would be absolutely fine after that task but Alex would be sitting on the bench gasping for breath, exhausted.

I wonder just how many little factoids he has in reserve for the prizes, just in case he needs them. Or any of the other tasks, really.
Every season Greg is getting softer at judging contestants, while Alex way cruel with his comebacks.
Judi Love is an underrated good player. She's not playing to win, she's playing to make Greg laugh. She plays the losing role like an absolute legend, her bullshitting, surprised face when something she said/did doesn't land... Just impeccable.
I totally agree - I didn't really get Judi until watching the whole series and she is so in control of the joke.
I don't think she's pretending. She just looks like she's obnoxious and attention-seeking.
Absolutely. She so often played to entertain the audience, and she was such a joy throughout. My favorite competitor this season.
Yeah honestly I love when contestants do that. Might as well just have fun with it. And Judi specifically had just such a hilarious attitude.
Yes!!!!
Bridget’s contributions to the House Queens’ song always leave me crying! 😂😂😂
Just the dichotomy of bridgett, insanely smiling, vs Judy and Sophie's focus
All five of them doing the dance together while the end credits rolled, perfect!

I thought exactly the same about the duck task. If I want to show a friend what Taskmasker is, I show them this task.
I almost gave myself the hiccups laughing at the duck test.🤣😂
"I do everything for him" is a fantastic summation of this show.
Possibly the best final moments of a season in any season or any version of taskmaster. The whole gang in a circle having a blast and being awesome. Really felt the love between the contestants this season.

No way!
“One team, one dream, we all scream for the House Queens” featuring Bridget “Bez” Christie.
Judy Love might have lost in points, but she was easily the most consistently hilarious contestant. She was one of those contestants that really makes the show.
Happens a lot that way in this show, where the last place contestants are often among the funniest.
But she still wants to know does she have a duck on her face?

She is such a gem

the series 12 and 13 casts bond is on a different level. I don't get to enjoy a lot of comedians from different countries but TM has always introduced these gems.
I didn't know any of these comedians before this series, and now I love every single one of them. What a fun season!
Sophie looked genuinely happy when she won. Such a sweetheart!
The time to say goodbye to these casts always comes far too early! Hope we're getting a Taskmaster Thursday next week as well!
This has genuinely been one of my favorite bunches of contestants, what a great close to a great season!
This season is probably in my top 3-5 seasons of all time. The entire cast was amazing, but good god Judi Love was phenomenal
This show has gotten me through a very DARK winter. Judy Love, you won our hearts every single episode!
This series was delightful. And Sophie completely earned the win, with all the things she did for the wins. And I'm not sure how, but she somehow substantially infatuated me with her. 🎉
I love that Greg seem to be more generous on points this season when he can't decide ties mostly having 2-3 contestants having the same points and not always following the 1-5 rankings or scoring.
I haven't laughed so hard as watching her break his bike and getting in his way, and pretty much forcing him off his bike. I was *dying* with laughter.
What a fantastic series!
I had never heard of any of them prior to this and they made for an incredible cast. None of them stood out by overshadowing any one of the others but they all worked together harmoniously.
Greg Davies talks a lot about quotes and the funniest one to me was "don't do it sister queen" lmao
I loved this series and I love how emotional sophie is about winning it. It seemed like it meant something to her
I think this season has the best ensemble of contestants, I genuinely love what every one of them bring to the show
Yay Ardal is wearing his jacket😂.
This series was an absolute delight. All of them were great and supportive of one another.
Too bad this season is already over, it was amazing ❤
Bridget is an eccentric scarecrow that joined a hip hop group for some reason, and it's delightful.
I AM SO HAPPY WITH THE WINNER
this ending has been the most wholesome I've ever experienced 😭 sophie deserved this win so much especially after being kind despite being funny daring unpredictable and so smart. I love her bond with judy so much true sister queens 👸👸
I'd have been ok with chris winning too! he was always working hard and so wholesome. In a way I'm glad judy is last because still holding out hope for a losers of losers (though she's technically won that already with her points). Ardle was an amazing cast member as well and he's who I'll miss seeing the most. Ohmygod also the ending with the cast dance circle is so adorable.
Thank you for having the decency to put the spoiler below the "show more" button. Too many morons just inconsiderately put spoilers right up front, or even go back to episode one to leave comments about the series winner. It's nice to see somebody caring about others for a change.

no problem! i understand your pain 😢 I'm not in the uk so the jerks in the earlier episode comments were spoiling me on a series I'd waited 10 months to watch legally too.
I feel like it's very characteristic of Bridget that she gets the name for DNA so very nearly correct, but not exact.
(It's Deoxy*ribo*nucleic acid) 5:18
And I love they way you could actually see her thinking of it
I think it's much more characteristic of the studio audience to wildly applaud and cheer someone who got it wrong.
@Gabby B - In fact, they’re both correct! The conventions for naming chemicals allow for a variety of names, so often which name you use will depend on when and where you went to school. 📜
Here’s a quote from a highly-cited paper, "Bending models of DNA: what they can and cannot do," by Vladimir B. Tief, published in _Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology_ in 2018; I’ll highlight the relevant part:
“The unique structure of *_deoxynucleic acid (DNA),_* characterized by its helical nature and sequence-specific interactions with proteins, ensures that genomic information is both faithfully maintained and efficiently accessed.”
And please note, _Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology_ has a high impact factor, and is among the top journals in the field of molecular and cell biology … so if “deoxynucleic acid” is good enough for *them,* it is also *certainly* good enough for _Taskmaster!_
I hope the above helps! :-)
THANK YOU. I thought I was being crazy lol
@@danopticon I think that's an error in that paper, not a valid alternate form, but at least she's in good company. (The name comes from the sugar in the DNA backbone, which is deoxyribose, not deoxose.)
I'm so very glad this show exists. I wasn't familiar with any of the contestants as comedians in their own right (I'd only seen Ardle in Father Ted), but I genuinely grew to like each of them. Having said that, there's just such a brilliant vibe about Sophie! I'd love a pint with her when she's had a good day.
Absolutely love taskmaster best show coming out over the pond, we definitely need more seasons here in the US we love you more than you know!
as an american who loves the UK version, i'd agree if the US production just wasn't so... not good 😬
About to watch this episode and I’m actually so sad that it’s my last with this set of people. I love every single one of them for entirely different reasons. 💛 What a great crew
I love them all dancing the Bridget dance in a circle at the end
Ardal is a true gentleman for showing up to the finale in that fine red leather jacket.
Okay, so I genuinely believe that *every* cast Taskmaster has *ever* had have been absolutely *FANTASTIC.*
But this cast? Man are they just so, *SO* fucking good! Each of them on their own as well as the lot of them together, no matter which way, results in so much *hilarity* and *non-stop* entertainment!
Thus, series 13 is *def* one of my all time favorite series of Taskmaster, and thus far, I’ve loved *each* and *every* series, from series 1 up through series 15!
I can't tell you how much I needed this today. Even if I'd already watched this series. I still needed this so badly right now. Thank you 😭🙌🏼💛🌈
💐💌 Sending love
Same! I’ve been sick all week, and this was just good for the soul 😂
This season is easily one of my favorites, the whole cast is great and everyone had multiple moments to shine, the tasks were fun (this episode's duck task has to be up there as one of the all time greats), and it all ended with a really wonderful and deserving winner!
Omg i love this season so much. Chris's energy has been sky high since the start and he is so happy for others. Judy spouting nonsense but making everyone care for her. Bridget being the funniest with her connection to tm personally. Ardal with his sneaky comments on everyones tasks. And sophie, who i didn't think i would like at first but now love, taking the crown.
I wished this season kept going forever or they bring these guys back .
This season and cast easily go down as one of my favorites! I didn't know any of them at the start but by the end I've grown so fond of them. The way each episode had me in stiches- I'm going to miss them all 😭🧡
I want to see a mash up of Bridget's House Queens dance and the dance Hugh and Alex did to the ringtone. Very similar vibes.
The bicycle task was peak Taskmaster. Silly objective, Alex debasing himself, clever lateral thinking, sheer physical anarchy, and contestants being done in by rules violations - it had it all!
Waiting for the "HOUSE QUEENS" album. Great work, great freestyle, amazing drum section, angelic vocals. Need no more than this😍😍😍😍
Best series ever. I absolutely loved this group. It's going to be hard to top this one.
I'm so sad that it's over; I loved them all so much. I think this has been my favourite series yet. Genuinely good.
I genuinely wasn’t expecting to love this series as much as I did. I’m not even entirely sure why. I guess it felt like everyone was there to have a good time and lift one another up than they were to compete or stoke their own ego. Really grateful to be able to watch these over here across the pond. Thank you.
The womens' song was very catchy, I caught myself singing it right after I watched the episode!
The House Queens song is an absolute marvel. I find myself going back to it from time to time and I am realizing now how much better it is when compared to the other team.
Thank you, Taskmaster and teamm for all the wonderful creative tasks and laughs.
I haven't seen a task devolve into pure chaos quite like Judi's attempt to put duck's in a basket
hands down this set of contestants has one of my favorite dynamics so far! they're willing to tear each other down yet it turned out to be surprisingly wholesome loll not to mention the endlessss hilarious commentaries... i'll miss them for sure
Literally the best thing to happen to TH-cam! Thank you so so so much for posting full episodes here!!!!!
That may have been the best series yet. Absolutely great chemistry throughout❤
Sophie’s fashion is impeccable! Seriously love this final outfit from her.
fr all her outfits are so pretty
The absolute joy of seeing a new Taskmaster episode has been uploaded to TH-cam ❤
I loved seeing how happy Siphie was to win! That just made my week!
I literally cried laughing this episode. I loved when they brought in Bridget's walk with the song. 😂
This was an amazing series. I'm definitely going to be coming back to it next time I'm sick or feeling down.
The moment Alex saw the arrows were pointing each other, hilarious!
Sophie was so genuinely happy to be champion, who'd have thought when the idea formed in Alex's head that he'd create something that would be so meaningful to win, Amazing!
My Friday mornings aren't going to be the same without a new episode to look forward to. Easily one of the best seasons of Taskmaster yet!
