Let’s discuss tasks, contestants and the show in general.
Spoilers ahead.
Greg thinks that Rosie has low self esteem? That is absolutely not the impression I get from her.
It’s been so long that I forgot about the hotdog.
I’m amazed how quickly the detective figured out the trick, and with the quotable logic of “He’s Andy Zaltzman, he knows what velvet is!”
I’m kinda disappointed that Greg chickened out of double deductions: -3 × 2 = -6 as we learnt in primary school.
Hot sauce avoidance was genius, although I don’t believe he actually knew the rules allowed it. On the other hand, Andy very was confident on that subject. yeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEES he was.
Andy’s technique of throw high (and so land vertically) was my first thought.
I’m not sad he chickened out. Rosie has already wasted her joker and lost 3 series points because Jack doesn’t know how to read tasks.
I mean… I wouldn’t have been sad the other way either.
I was seriously thinking somebody would put the cookies is a plastic bag and then in the sauce/vinegar/brine.
However the ‘ring the bell’ task, was my favorite by far
I’m glad I’m not the only one that forgot about the hotdog costume. At the beginning of the series I was really expecting Jack and Rosie to have more of an odd couple vibe, but it’s been cute to see the two of them work so well together.
I’m really amazed how quickly Emma figured out Andy was lying, only to turn around and start guessing specific foods instead of going by food groups or colors or something broader.

This entire season is so disappointing, it is hands down the worst one so far.
The contestants are shite, the tasks are terrible and even their “banter” is just not funny anymore.
I think this show has finally run its course which is really sad as I have loved it up until now but we are on episode 7 and the whole thing has just been utterly dire in my opinion.
I’ll watch the beginning of another season if they make one in the hopes that it can return to form but honestly I think this whole show is on its way out if this trash season is anything to go by.
Damn shame.
The Australian season one was better than this and that is saying something seen as they have hosts that are utterly devoid of humour and personality.
I’ve had the polar opposite experience. The last few series haven’t been great. I don’t think I even finished the last two. But this cast have brought it back to life.
Andy Zaltzman’s ridiculous humour is such a good for for the show. In another life I think he would have made a superb taskmaster’s assistant.
Rosie Jones has been a real surprise. Her humour doesn’t usually work well on panel shows but Taskmaster seems to have the right pace for it and her wit really shines.
Each to their own, I will agree that the last few haven’t exactly been great either just for me this has been the breaking point where I’m watching thinking “I’m not enjoying this shit any more”
It isn’t like I haven’t had a laugh very occasionally and they pretty much all came from Zaltzman but I still don’t personally think he is a good contestant.
Different opinions make the world more interesting though and I’m glad someone is enjoying it xP
