Eureka is a word attributed to Archimedes, an ancient mathematician who came up with Archimedes’ Principle which says that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces (I got that from Wikipedia!) which is what the whole task is about 🙂
Bridget Christie became a Legend with this episode. Series 18 just ended. I've never been so envious of plushy stuffed toys before.

This whole cast is fantastic, together and independently. Ardel kills me though. I’d never seen or heard of him before so I had no clue what to expect but he just comes out if left field in the best way consistently. 😂
0:21 I'm glad you highlighted that particular moment. It's SO good but it gets lost in the rest of the chaos of that task! EDIT: And then 3:16 "I PUT IT TO YOU" oh you don't know what's coming...
I don’t know if you’ll ever catch up sadly, s19 will be out around march next year, they’re filming 20 now. Just keep going, love your honest reactions and I’m already wondering about how you’re going to react to fern and John in s14. S13 has the most stellar cast for me since s7 and is probably only rivalled by s16… though 18 was great.
I have a question about the locked box task: are instructions NOT written on the task itself instructions you HAVE to follow? I say no and I'd absolutely have broken that box.
I've only seen Bridget Christie live once. She was the host for an evening with the cast of Ghosts, where they chatted about their book: Ghosts the Button House Archives. She definitely is odd. She would go off on tangents a fair bit, even while reading out audience member questions. Not sure she was the best pick for someone semi-interviewing the main actors. But from clips I've seen of her standup shows she's obviously a great comedian. And her show The Change is a good watch too.
Don't people learn basic general principles like water displacement or was I just major nerd as a kid? Archimedes, eureka, density, a 'gold' crown... such a great story and wonderful bit of experiential science that gets the old braino thinking about physics, power, 'value', anthropology, thinking outside the box (or bath paaa hahaha erm mkay) and so much more when you're young and you remember it forevs? No?
"Stop talking to the camera people!"
This entire season is really just Bridget making up her own tasks and ignoring the official ones xD
I PUT IT TO YOU moment is so good 😂
I had no idea that was coming either, I was just quoting Ali G lol
Omg that just made everything better 😂😂😂 hadn’t put it together
God I love Ardal in this season. He's such a weird little shit in the best possible way!
I was at the filming of this episode - Bridget and Greg's argument during the prize task went on a lot longer than in the edit!
Ooh please elaborate
@VictoriaDover-b5z it was a couple years ago, but I remember it getting increasingly increasingly tense with more "I put it to you"s
@ I think they seem to have some genuine tension between them. So jealous you saw it live. I got tickets for junior tm at least
There's a longer version of it in the outtakes!
I'm surprised that last episode's "NO WAY! didn't make it into the intro lol
I update the intro at the end of the season, there is a high chance it'll make the cut
@AdamfromFWCI NO WAY! XD 😂👍

And it was a staute of Archimedes of course!
“Sort of rude and not funny either” is a great reaction to the Taskmaster

I was half quoting a line from Ali G lol
Series 18 has just finished. Series 19 likely broadcasting around April
With another New Year Treat to come as well
10:49 the greatest save in human history
Bridget's insistence that the rules can't possibly be the rules, and that there are "jokes" in the writing of the tasks always makes me laugh.
The high five task is wild because it’s so hard to understand how some of the players interpreted it.
I love this prize task because I, TOO, have an antique (sorta) kimono in my wardrobe
Ardal, the unexpected wild card!
What are the odds of you saying I PUT IT TO YOU!
love seeing you react to one of my fav seasons!
Edit: also yes you’re listening to off menu still 😂

The blocks spelled out "Eureka".
Would like to see you try the displacement task with things in your home .how about a video with you trying various tasks
I have a question about the locked box task: are instructions NOT written on the task itself instructions you HAVE to follow?
I say no and I'd absolutely have broken that box.

The Change is *excellent*
Beautiful Sully!

I learnt about water displacement, but I wouldn't have found the eureka blocks. ❤
I miss the squelch
Lol a couple of people complained it was gross (which is true).
But I also realised it's literally unskippable too lol so I thought I'd be courteous
@AdamfromFWCI haha snowflakes everywhere 😂
Keep up the good work bud!
😂😂👏👏👏👏
I wish Sophie would stare lovingly at me while dancing like that. And I'm so jealous of those stuffed animals 😔 *cough* Sorry uhh what

Am I the only one who suspects Greg & Bridget might have dated?
