Shoutout to the crew that have to clean up

I must be so boring.

I am so impressed at how much mess has been made over the years but there seems to be no visible remnants.

Examples; paint everywhere (the caravan, the drive, the lab), food everywhere. Please do remind me of the messiest occasions

I just think those people don't get enough credit and I'd end up hating the messiest contestants! So to the unsung heroes that clean up after everyone; well done! Your hard effort has been noticed and recognised

The instant I realized: zero straight white guys on the panel

And I think that's pretty damn cool

Look whats number 1 in Australia

Sorry, I forgot to add the picture!!!!

Mind you this is cable/pay TV - Foxtel/Binge finally got their act together. Not available free to air in Australia sadly, but I'm glad to see it land Number 1!

Collider Interview: With 1.4 Billion Views, Greg Davies & Alex Horne Aren’t Changing ‘Taskmaster’

There is a text summary of the video but it's not in order and strangely not quite accurate, so best to just watch the video.

Iconic moments that are not always shown in "iconic compilations"?

I guess we all know about the "Are you a child of divorce" and Alex sitting on a cake moments. Some of the most memorable moments in the whole show; not just one series.

Which moment do you think isn't mention enought but surely all Taskmaster lovers know about / would love to watch?

Most stressful task for contestants?

We're 22 series in now so I may have forgotten something from the dim and distant past, but from a contestants pov the "disobey all of Alex's instructions, obey all other instructions" task might have been the most difficult ever when you're trying to think on your feet.

Competitive Season?

I have seen many fan cast about a chaos season where they bring back the most chaotic contestants. Would anybody else want a season of the contestants that were the most competitive or took it the most seriously?

Of course Ed Gamble comes to mind, but I think this season shows that Chloe is both lovable and competitive. Who else? I think it would be great to have 5 people that really want to win.

Maybe have a live task where they have to compete against the contestants that pissed them off the most on their original season.

Best prize task idea

I would really like to see the contestants conspire on a prize task and all either bring the same thing or 5 things that go together. Something ridiculous that would make Greg say “if this is another f*in ____,” and just lose his sh*t at them all would be hilarious.

Shanthi Ranganathan

Listening to Romesh’s podcast has made me realise that his mum, Shanthi, would be such a chaotic contestant for the show. I think she would be best suited for a New Years Treat, and I think she is famous enough to be on it; but I would honestly be fascinated to see her for an entire series

200 Extraordinary Tasks Misprint

I bought the Taskmaster book back when it released and never posted about my strange misprint where contents were inserted upside down in relation to the cover. Thought I'd post it here to see whether this happened to several copies or if I'm the odd one out!

Buggy, bounce, bean task connection

I’ve just watched S22E2, and after listening to the podcast of that episode I made a connection that I wonder if Alex made deliberately. The buggy, bounce and bean task reminded me of the farmers in Fantastic Mr Fox (Boggis, Bunce and Bean). Is it just me or did anyone else think of this on reflection?

Fun little game

For anybody who's just started the series or even newer episodes I have a fun game for you. I introduced the show to my bf and he loves it and I created a simple game (idk how original it is) for us to earn points. Each episode is a quote from a task most of the time and we try to guess what the task is and who said it originally. So far I have 7 points and he has 2.

5 points - spot on correct

4 points - good idea of task

3 points - not quite but close enough

2 points - same in spirit

1 point - correct person

I allow vague answers but that would eliminate the higher points

Ex: I guess it an artistic task would give you a maximum of 2 or 3 points
