the edit of Fatiah saying “no, these shoes are too heavy” followed by Matt hurling the shoes at Alex was the star bit last night

Disagree with the above comment that it wasn’t a “brilliant” episode. It hit the funny bones in our house anyway

I enjoyed the episode. Jason kinda saved both the carrot and the teaching tasks.

The team task was great, both started off as decent attempts but both descended into a weird madness that really worked; from Jason learning how to ride a bike to full on chasing down Alex the pervert on it, and the hairy women and the manipulation with the rope.

The studio task was really good too. Simple and without needless caveats, but still required a bit of execution and planning.

mr_edge_to_you · 06-06-2025 10:33PM

Half way through watchingast nights episode. Christ on a bike it's funny.

Jason is brilliant fun.

The pervert in the bushes was genius. I'm sniggering here typing this post.

Alex probably the star of the show between his perving, dancing and shouting.

Team task was really good, also really enjoyed Jason and Fatiha doing the teaching task, the other 3's attempt were a bit route one

WARNING:

Taskmaster isn't on until 10.05 tonight due to football.

I'M LOCKED IN!!!!!!! 🤣

Great episode!

expectationlost · 12-06-2025 11:11PM

Probably one of the best episodes ever although I don't like the set wrecking.

Morgans · 12-06-2025 11:12PM

Agreed. Best series for a while.

siblers · 12-06-2025 11:16PM

Matt is such a good contestant. His prize tasks are brilliant.

That was pure genius. He got everyone hooked and then boom.

Penn · 13-06-2025 08:20AM

Matt has been the absolutely perfect TM contestant. Imaginative, clever, doesn't take things too seriously, gives every task his all, but still isn't ultra competitive about it either.

Jason, Rosie & Stevie are all fantastic too. Jason and Stevie both have a great chaotic energy, and Rosie is surprisingly no slouch either.

Fatiha… she's still quite hit and miss. Definitely the weakest, but in a worse series with some of the more blander contestants she'd probably be great. The whole "I'm not doing any of that bruv are you mad?" schtick within 2 seconds of seeing the task setup gets old fast. What show did you think you were on? But, she's pretty funny in the studio bits and like I said there are some series' she would have been a highlight.

Mars Bar · 13-06-2025 05:51PM

I can't help but think that the casting of Jason as Adrian in Brooklyn 99 couldn't have been more perfect. He's as batshit as the character

Dodge · 13-06-2025 06:11PM

it’s a really enjoyable season. I think all 5 of them enjoying the show - even Fatiah in the studio - adds greatly.

Mr Crispy · 13-06-2025 06:57PM

Re Fatiha, the whole "I'm not going any of that" stuff is, imo, because she's very self conscious of her weight.

Best season in a while though. Everyone's adding to it.

gmisk · 15-06-2025 09:40AM

This has been a great season.

Matthew Baynton and yoghurt......wow lol

salmocab · 15-06-2025 12:37PM

yeah it’s been a great series. Mathew is managing to be both very good at it and also hilarious which can be a difficult balance

siblers · 20-06-2025 11:06PM

Jason was hilarious in the science task. One of my favourite parts of the season

Degag · 24-06-2025 11:37PM

I see the Sweden version is on On Demand. Anyone watched it? Is it any good?

mr_edge_to_you · 27-06-2025 07:07AM

Last night's episode was top class. It's been a really brilliant season.

If you're trying to sell the show to someone who hasn't seen it, this one has it all.

Never heard of any of the contestants but each of them has contributed massively to the series.

I saw an interview with Jason recently and he just got in contact , looking to take part. He told Alex and the production team that he just wanted to "cause chaos".

siblers · 27-06-2025 07:43AM

Jason with the banana and Matt with the butterfly were brilliant. Two excellent contestants

Do a feel a but for the crew having to clean up after Jason so much though

Basq · 27-06-2025 08:48AM

Ah, the old Nish-Mantzoukas switcheroo.. it's been done before. 😀

gmisk · 27-06-2025 06:37PM

I am really struggling to think of a better series genuinely! This week's episode ha so many highlights I thought Matthews butterfly part was hilarious.

Headshot · 29-06-2025 08:27PM

Jason is the saving grace for this series for me, he's been brilliant

Dodge · 29-06-2025 08:37PM

Wouldn’t say saving grace, as it’s been one of the best seasons ever. He’s a highlight for sure, but they’ve all had their moments

Mr Crispy · 30-06-2025 02:04AM

Another great episode, in what's easily my favourite season in quite a while.

Penn · 03-07-2025 09:17PM

"Have you ever farted in front of a cat?"

Okay, Fatiha is redeemed for the whole series. That really made me laugh hard.

Nah, she was shocking and skipped the live task again.

corcaigh07 · 03-07-2025 10:40PM

any thoughts on the new cast? I barely know any of them but it was the same for this season and it was excellent overall so looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Penn · 03-07-2025 10:44PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123602825#Comment_123602825

It was pretty much expected at this stage so I wasn't fussed about that. Same with the posing task. I thought overall she was great in the studio bits, which definitely salvaged things.

As for next series, should be good. I like Maisie Adams, think she'll be pretty funny. Greece Shearsmith and Sanjeev Bhaskar should be alright. Don't know the others.

Basq · 03-07-2025 10:57PM

Reece will be brilliant!
