Taskmaster (Greg Davies sets some comedians daft challenges!)

gmisk

Mike to the rescue again!!!!

Prize task...dull...bar Mike's weirdness

The painting task was decent Jamali wrecked the fecking place! Mike deserved a better score.

The vandalism task was a bit meh...but Mike and Lee are such a fun double act.

The food challenge was similar to an old one to do with finding an egg. Really really enjoyable...battered wallet standard! Poor Lee being a vegan...an egg..
The receipt was a great little twist.

The in studio was solid. Sarah is so competitive she is going to walk this series I would say.
Jamali is just there to be aggressive! Stomping the crap out of everything.

Poor Mike's solo "task" ha..."oh no I have scared it off".... it was a tiny tiny pop!...a haemorrhoid...madness... highlight of the episode

I actually really like the contestants (Mike especially!), but I think it would really sing with a live audience.
Still enjoyable

Oh God!

An all time best line, in another very enjoyable show

Annoyed Sarah wasn't disqualified for the batter task.

Mike is probably my favourite contestant of all time

That was rough.

Really good episode. Sarah's won me over very gradually through the season.

Yeah, I like her dry sense of humour.

Good episode, and fair play to Mike. :pac:

I like her tbh that is very much her thing.
Her series Frayed is well worth a watch.

Mr.Prodston

I don't think it's hyperbolic to suggest that Mike Wozniak is the greatest contestant the show has ever had!

Never thought James Acaster could be topped, but honestly it's not even close!

Really enjoying this season to btw, even if it's not quite at its peak.

Jamali is growing slightly on me week-on-week. I think it's cause he's toned down his aggressiveness with Greg in the studio a bit.

At the same time, not sure how he picked up full points for the Prize task and the Paint teak in the latest episode.

Another solid episode this week some excellent tasks....might be my favourite of this series!
I especially liked the task which went up in flames and the alarm one.
Mike again an absolute gem
Highlights include Mike undermining a vole.... "you've got no chutzpah!"
Charlotte was very fun this week as well, especially in the food Babushka task

Basq

Yeah, definitely improving week on week.

I'm the same I really like him now but couldn't stand him at the start!

Really loving this series, didn't have much hope at start but it has just gotten better each week.

It's a pity Mike won't win the series, would love to see more of him in Champions Of Champions.

I'd just like to say that another thing I like about Mike is that he's worn his task outfit, admittedly just a suit, to all the live shows. I could be wrong but I think he's the first contestant to do that.

The closest I can think of is Madeleine in the New Zealand version who wore the same suit for all the tasks, and then wore a different suit for all of the live shows. Makes life easier for the contestant for sure...

Joe Wilkinson would have done the same, maybe with some small variances in shoes or ties, but mostly the same.

Mike is one of those people who, I don't think anyone else in the entire world, would say what he does under the same circumstances.

Really enjoyable episode this week. Definitely best of the series so far!

I'm actually the opposite.
I think my favourite episode this series albeit with a bit to go (just a smidgen ahead of last week).
I can't wait to see Mike do the safety announcement!

appledrop

Ah here, 1 leg or two, what a load of crap.

Weakest episode of the series for me.

It was really simple...as was the big version of the fold up page and take turns to draw one....but I liked them.
Really fun episode

I really enjoyed that last task. Greg got into it which I found funny.

Exclamation Marc

Honestly one of the worst episodes of all time.

The worst prize task of all time. Utter shïte. This part of the show has gone to the dogs, nobody bothers trying anymore.

Graffiti task was so uninteresting. All that time for two five second payoffs. Airplane task probably sounded good on paper but it was shoulder shruggingly boring. The funniest part was a callback to last week, which says it all.

And the final task is a classic guessing game, a poor one.

Yawn. Absolute dirge of an episode.
