Taskmaster (Greg Davies sets some comedians daft challenges!)

Just watched the first episode. I liked the prize task, rest of it was pretty meh.

Not really getting the anti McNally vibe, she was no worse than anyone else and better than a couple of them.

First episode was OK, had me laughing in a few places. I only really know Steve Pemberton from this lot.

That's fair. We're probably a bit spoiled with the amount of seasons that have been stonecold classics.

Decent episode. Woeful live task, possibly one of the worst.

Decent enough episode. Tasks were pretty good, though the team task is one of those where it was just really overdone and the clues you need to follow are near impossible to decipher. It's becoming more of a problem the longer Taskmaster goes on, where tasks have to have so many caveats because people know TM so well, that it ends up stifling creativity.

Didn't notice this myself, but absolutely amazing

Really good live task tonight. Similar to the one from season 9. Season is actually quite good, it's just missing one of the contestants being a bit of a bollocks in the studio. They're all so polite

He said on his show with Elis James he was worried about coming across too competitive. His prize task and gutter of Gregs was really good

I'd probably put season 10 as the worst one. Social distancing was a major issue but Richard Herring who I had high hopes for was very boring

Really good episode tonight, best of the series so far I'd say. Joanne is actually really good, she's adding a lot of energy to the show

Im guessed that because it was so time consuming they had to keep it in after all the effort of doing it etc

That and I kind of figure that because it was the big "Here's what we made one contestant have to do that nobody else did" they felt they had to keep it.

Great episode last night though. Steve's prize tasks are fantastic, he really puts a lot of thought and effort into them. Sophie is just great fun. Nick and John have their moments. Didn't know much of Joanne before the show. She's okay, but yeah can be a bit try-hard.

Said i'd give a bash at the 5 best/worst contestants ever. Picking the worst is far easier than the best due to the overall quality of the show and it's all totally subjective but this is what i came up with

Worst

Mae Martin

Charlotte Ritchie

Katy Wix

Alice Levine

Sian Gibson

Best

Joe Wilkinson

John Kearns

James Acaster

Dara O'Briain

Mike Wozniak

Sophie Willan is only 36. I thought she was closer to 50

Thought that was the best episode of the series. The watermelon task was brilliant, as was Nick thinking he nailed the first task. The mannequin task was okay, but at least they all used a bit of imagination.

Seems no way of doing spoilers anymore unless someone can point me to a button, or tags that work.

Would like to mention the contestants for next series, one in particular, but know that some people like the reveal at the end of Episode 10.

So next season cast list looks somewhat divisive. One in particular that I assumed would never be invited on for a 10 episode run because of physical limitations for the tasks.

I've heard of pretty much all of them but only two I'd rate. That's not to say the format won't bring out a whole new level in all of them.

Yeah, people who've been to the recordings last week.

I don't mind it, and I actually did think it might happen at some point.

A decent series. Mid-tier, but had a lot to enjoy throughout. Sophie was fantastic, really looked forward to all her attempts. Steve's prize tasks were absolute genius for the most part. Nick had his moments. John and already-genuinely-can't-think-of-her-name were fine.

caught up with the season finale. Really enjoyed the whole season. Hadn’t high hopes before it but overall it was great fun

(Have even lower hopes for next season based on the cast)

I would have put money on the fact that Jack Dee had already done a series of TM.

And from reading comments from other sites I seem to not be the only one who has dreamt this up! Weird

yeah delighted with Jack Dee as usual there’s a few I don’t know and that generally works out okay.
