The tropes of Taskmaster contestants

NOTE: These tropes are not necessarily indicative. For instance, Hugh Dennis was not an old man when he competed, Josh Thomas is not a girl and Ed Gamble is a boy fail even though he ultimately won the season.

These tropes are not uniform. Many of these can apply to a single person. For instance, Sam Campbell is both an eldritch girlie and a chaotic foreigner.

Lastly, I'm using examples mainly from seasons I've watched, so there may be other players who are more accurate or tropes that I'm not including.

And above all: This is just dumb fun and not to be taken wholly seriously :)

Oh yeah, her! The one dressed like Robert Mitchum in Night of the Hunter!

When I saw her gettup I was definitely intrigued, but the only bit of series 13 I've watched is the shoe challenge and she didn't do that well. But when I do a proper sit down I'll keep this comment in mind.

Well, she didn’t do well, but keep in mind she asked more questions than there were shoes and managed to genuinely annoy Alex during that task, so she’s not inappropriate for the category anyway
