ljkeane Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Yeah, I enjoyed this season too. All the contestants were good. They should definitely keep the team tasks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Ah yes, I forgot about this thread. Yeah, I pretty much agree with what’s been said. I thought a lot of the tasks this year were either rubbish in conception or a mess in execution. (Propose to Alex? Put face on upside down? Drink squash with mouth open?) But the camaraderie and personalities were excellent. I was hoping that VCM would be able to take Greg in hand more but even her famous poise generally deserted her when faced with him. The most memorable task was the one where you buy items with time and throw them at a balloon under a portcullis. Greatest injustice was when Greg decided Alan’s bath film was lame because they deliberately cut to a shot from the crew in the middle which ruined the effect.

polishgenius Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 New season just started. They don't seem to have uploaded it officially to the Taskmaster channel, but ozmartian on youtube seems to have unofficial permission to post loads of British gameshows, including this one: Anyway really enjoyed it. I wasn't familiar with any of them except Judi Love a little bit and obviously having seen Ardal O'Hanlon as Dougal, but they've got great chemistry. And I was pleasently surprised by Judi, since I hadn't liked her much in panel show appearances, but she worked here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teng Ai Hui Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I just found out today that the new season had started. The first episode was fun. Sophie Duker is my favorite contestant so far. Can I ask a couple questions about British culture? If you find something "in a skip", where did you find it? Do students commonly study French as a second language?

Do students commonly study French as a second language? A skip is what someone would have outside their house if they were doing renovation to take away all the crap. French in my experience is by far the most common language taught at schools. I'd estimate about 50% do it as a GCSE. Teng Ai Hui 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 A skip is basically a dumpster, more or less, though specifically only the big sort you might order temporarily to fill up and be taken away if you're doing house renovations or on building sites that need to clear crap out before/while building, not the regular behind-the-shops-storing-regular-rubbish kind.

Teng Ai Hui Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 This latest episode had the best prize task. All 3 house tasks were a lot of fun. Even though the stage task was slightly weak compared to the rest of the episode, I can’t think of a better episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teng Ai Hui Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 There's something about this set of contestants. The banter between them and Greg and Alex is a lot more fun. As a result, the episodes are more enjoyable, especially when it comes to the prize tasks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 Yeah, this lot are great. They're not slow to get at each other but it doesn't feel mean-spirited. And there's no dead task-contestants either- Chris is obviously the most competent but unlike some other consistently-getting-it-right contestants in the past he's not just doing the boring obvious thing every time. The latest episode had me creasing repeatedly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teng Ai Hui Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) I have just added a new item to my bucket list -- go to a party where Ardal O'Hanlon is making martinis, shaken and stirred. Edited May 28, 2022 by Teng Ai Hui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teng Ai Hui Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Another excellent season. I felt bad for Judi Love. Even David Baddiel won an episode. Next week is Champion of Champions 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teng Ai Hui Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I finally found the time to watch CoC2. It had some good moments. It just wasn't up to the standards set by season 13 or by the New Years Treats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 New series started tonight. Quite surprised to find Dara my least liked contestant of the first episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teng Ai Hui Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Taskmaster is back for its 14th season. The 3-month break flew by. I didn't really realize that it was gone as Taskmaster NZ showed its 3rd season during that time. The first episode was hit-and-miss for me. The prize task was entertaining, but the team task was boring. I have a feeling that this season will be decent but will fall short of the high standard set by seasons 12 & 13.

Teng Ai Hui Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 The second episode of the season was a big improvement over the first. All 5 challenges were entertaining. Also, I was annoyed that the title of the episode wasn't: "You can’t see your pockets because… Yeah." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 In general I’m a fan of the ridiculous comedy costume for a series but Fern Brady just looks really uncomfortable in hers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teng Ai Hui Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 The season just finished. It was fun but not great. Unfortunately, I can't really remember any big highlight moments from this season. In the last episode, the escape the caravan task was interesting but pales in comparison to when the New Zealand contestants did it (S02E07). I'm excited to see Mo Farah compete in the upcoming New Year's Treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teng Ai Hui Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I was finally able to watch the New Year's Treat. It was enjoyable but not great. Mo Farah was fun to watch as usual. I still don't know who Rebecca Lucy Taylor is, but she was also fun. I skimmed through season 14 recently, and it does have one highlight moment, the task in which they try to have the most fun while playing with a set of red tubes.

Teng Ai Hui Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 There is now a Taskmaster Australia. The first episode was not very memorable, but the second episode was fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poobah Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 A strong opening episode for the series. Looking forward to more. Teng Ai Hui 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
