(spoilers through episode 6 and possible speculation)

ive noticed a few of the cast have been doing questions on their stories, i just saw Claudia has been doing them for example, but thought i would post Alex's after the last episode which highlighted her a lot.

- no regrets "not one. zero." about losing her cool on AJ at breakfast. says there was so much in the lead up to the scene that was not included in the edit that would show more of why she felt like felt and acted like she did.

- she said not having contact with her children, the paranoia and the pressure cooker element of the environment, and the longer hours the traitors put in was also getting to her.

- doesnt regret it mostly because it made great tv. encourages all feedback, doesnt get her down, loves seeing the season being discussed.

* also forgot to add, she said she heard that aj was saying her name before alvin shared it in the turret and he would tell her that she would make a great traitor, so she was starting to feel she was being played with before alvin said anything.

- was dreading episode 6 the most for the face to face convo with AJ. was already having a rough day when the chat happened. it felt like it was an ambush and she felt "naked", had been really close with AJ at that point. "a really hard day and a really hard watch"

- no bad blood between with her and Alvin. talks with him regularly. her, Alvin and Kirby have a side "conclave" chat group. says the whole cast is really close and like a family.

she answers a bunch of other questions and the invite to ask anything still appears to be open, so check out the rest on her instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stories/alexandranation/

hi! new fan of the show from Canada. my favourite part of this has been discovering and enjoying so many new comedians. ive gone through so many series now and there honestly hasnt been one person thats a total dud, to me, at least.

i feel like ive never seen a show that has such faultless casting. which leads to my question (which im having trouble phrasing): what makes a comedian fit for Taskmaster? do they have to have a certain level of fame and do they have to have a specific type of comedy, or does the show cast anyone who works in the genre? are they purposely unpredictable?

i see a lot of cast prediction + wishlist threads on here but not sure how realistic they are. for example, i see a lot of love / hope / predictions for YouTube comedians / podcasters, but i dont necessarily get the vibe that the show casts their net in that direction?

thanks and sorry if this is such a complicated question!
