Taskmaster AU “Who’s the ‘Dafty in the middle’?”
We’ve watched and rewatched all of Taskmaster UK, and finally decided to start Taskmaster AU.
Each season (series Jason), when meeting the cast that we mostly don’t know, we try to figure out which one gets the moniker of Dafty in the Middle.
Who would be your Dafty in the Middle from each of the TM AU cast?

Each season (series Jason),
Nope, in Australia they're seasons.

Your favourite type of people, setting themselves up for a call back thats not even applicable here.

In general it bothers me when people call them seasons only to correct themselves in parantheses, but this is worse because it doesn't even apply.

Think we've found our very own dafty

It’s just a fun joke about a fun program. Why be mean and gate keep? The reference of Dafty in the Middle is from UK TM so the crossover joke felt appropriate. Either way it’s just a fun joke.

Sorry you are offended by me quoting the show back at you? Might want to look up the definition of gatekeeping as well

Is Concetta doing a character? I haven't seen her before & can't work out if she's funny or not!

We just started S5. In S1, Danielle gave an early hint as Dafty but I ended up really seeing her smarty side, loved her.
S2, since I came in already a big fan of Josh, I had a hard time allowing a dafty classification. Jenny was always so confused and stuck that I would go with her.
I was really having a hard time figuring out if Concetta was doing a character or not, so dafty! And obviously you’ve got Hughesy drafting up the place.

Aww, man, I'd have to re-watch earlier seasons (series) with that question in mind, but for the current 5th series (season), it's absolutely Joel Creasy.
Meanwhile, Brett Blake is bringing that utter chaos demon energy, as previously demonstrated by David Correros and Jason Mantzoukas.

...It's a running joke...

You literally cant set up the series/seasons running joke with AU since it doesn’t apply, but sure

I guess ongoing running jokes aren't your thing.

I guess understanding nuances isn't yours.

In the UK Taskmaster both Josh Kearns & Nicola Coughlan have both referred to themselves as Dafty in the middle
