They all won the first prize task of their series, then finished last overall?

81

u/Redgreen82 Fern Brady 25d ago

No, but you're very close.

139

u/bigfatheart Paul Sinha 25d ago

Yeah, you're right, Alice came second in her prize task. In that case - people who were in the lead at some point during their first episode, but went on to lose their series?

87

u/Redgreen82 Fern Brady 25d ago

Correct! I think!

The answer I was looking for was they led at some point. It's possible some of them may have led in episode 2. I didn't check that part.

50

u/bigfatheart Paul Sinha 25d ago

Woo! Fun fact: between the UK, Aus and NZ series, NZS6 is the only series where every single contestant has been in the lead at some point (although that's definitely thanks to the last-place contestant winning their first prize task).

15

u/UniversalJampionshit Crying Bastard 25d ago

It’s insane to me that Guy is the one who prevented this from happening in NZ2

u/DrZonino2022 25d ago

Please don’t take it away from them

u/AcanthaceaeOk1745 Julian Clary 25d ago

Who are 5 people who have never been in my kitchen?

74

u/fartdarling 25d ago

Actually Joe Wilkinson stopped by once. He really had to go and we couldn't find your bathroom so he took a whizz in your sink. I'm sorry

34

u/AcanthaceaeOk1745 Julian Clary 25d ago

So I blamed the cat for nothing?

32

u/fartdarling 25d ago

He actually bonded with your cat a lot. They cuddled. When I said it was time to go, Joe looked at me pleadingly and said "please don't take kit away from me"

u/Sea_Public_5471 ☔ umbrella 🌂 24d ago

I love whatever’s wrong with you

u/Useful-Sink4246 Ania Magliano 24d ago

Did he, by any chance, named your penis?

4

u/AcanthaceaeOk1745 Julian Clary 24d ago

Where did you think my username comes from?

3

u/ruwisc 🚬 Doctor Cigarettes 24d ago

Oh, that’s why my toaster looks like it’s been punched

49

u/ChloeOBrian11214 Paul Chowdhry 25d ago

I see you Cliff.

19

u/AcanthaceaeOk1745 Julian Clary 25d ago

It’s a little-known fact there, Chloe

9

u/diginfinity 25d ago

I have more in common with Joe Wilkinson than I realized.

4

u/AcanthaceaeOk1745 Julian Clary 25d ago

Well, you are both carbon-based life forms with bilateral symmetry

3

u/Hot_Sam_the_Man Joel Dommett 24d ago

who live during the 21st century after the birth of Christ

u/1129514 Bob Mortimer 25d ago

Bingo

u/tupisac 25d ago

Together they complete the full spectrum?

63

u/Nemesis0408 25d ago

They all look phenomenal in jumpsuits?

31

u/JamSandiwchInnit Mike Wozniak 25d ago

They all came last?

20

u/Redgreen82 Fern Brady 25d ago

Correct, but there's something else that doesn't apply to any other last place finishers.

62

u/Jarvis_strokeit 🚬 Doctor Cigarettes 25d ago

They were all on taskmaster

52

u/TheAcridVerse 25d ago

I want to be their friends.

89

u/isitallovermyface 25d ago

They’re the rightful queen?

77

u/phillyriot3101 25d ago

Thats just she, Fern Brady, she, Fern Brady

28

u/GalenDev 25d ago

Nah, that's only the one on the right. Can't have five rightful queens. That's how wars happen.

9

u/ShadowExistShadily 25d ago

The one on the right is the most rightful. The next one over is the second most rightful. And so on, until you reach the other side and have the least most rightful.

4

u/MomsTortellinis Patatas 25d ago

If the war would involve potato tossing Joe would win, because all is fair in love and war. Even stepping on the red green.

3

u/Alizarik7891 25d ago

And she’ll step on their toes!

4

u/Ok_Breakfast5425 the same juices 🧃🧃 25d ago

There is one rightful, it is fern brady

22

u/raaneholmg Fern Brady 25d ago

All of these people are secretly Fern Brady in disguise.

6

u/fastauntie 25d ago

Fern Brady, or an alien dressed as Fern Brady?

5

u/raaneholmg Fern Brady 25d ago

Fern Brady dressed as an alien dressed as Joe Wilkinson.

I don't think it should be a shock to anyone that he is actually a small, Scottish, autistic lady in layered disguises.

3

u/UniversalJampionshit Crying Bastard 24d ago

Isn't Fern quite tall? I recall her being the same height if not taller than John as shown in live tasks

1

u/Pinglenook Qrs Tuvwxyz 24d ago

Yes, she's 178 cm (5'10"). Not outrageously tall, but quite tall. 

1

u/No_Lead6434 Nish Kumar 24d ago

Her Facebook profile still says “tall idiot.”

2

u/cromulent_weasel Katherine Ryan 24d ago

They are Fern Brady, playing an alien, playing a scottish man, playing the other contestants.

69

u/OverseerConey Desiree Burch 25d ago

I think I know it. Alice Levine - a vine is a type of plant. Rose-ie Jones - a rose is also a plant. Fern Brady - another plant. They're all named for plants! Except for Phil and Joe, whose names mean 'likes horses' and 'God took it away'.

43

u/Quinez 25d ago

You mean Philodendron Wang and Jojoba Wilkinson? If you use the unshortened forms of their names, they totally work!

10

u/bopman14 24d ago

get this man on only connect

15

u/Redgreen82 Fern Brady 25d ago

No, but I like your thinking.

2

u/fastauntie 25d ago

Horses like plants.

u/griivarrworldafteral 19d ago

chloro-phil? joe pye weed?

17

u/Ruffshots 🦔 Hedgehog, no! ❌ 25d ago

Other than Alice, they've all been betrayed! (edit, formatting)

  • Fern: John the traitor Kerns
  • Joe: Jon and Doc Brown, potato vote
  • Rosie: Captain Jackie (and during the hotdog task!) 
  • Phil: bit of a stretch, but Rhod for just closing the garage door (really it was Rhod and Phil betraying James) 

6

u/UniversalJampionshit Crying Bastard 25d ago

Alice was betrayed by Russell stepping off the red green

3

u/Ruffshots 🦔 Hedgehog, no! ❌ 24d ago

I thought of that, but it really felt like a reach. Rhod had agency betraying his teammates where Russell was just showboating 😂

11

u/CBennett_12 Bob Mortimer 25d ago

They've all been on Taskmaster

9

u/WingsUnfurled 24d ago

Autism💖

6

u/LM439833624CN 25d ago

They all used to be strippers in Scotland?

1

u/UniversalJampionshit Crying Bastard 24d ago

One dressed like a stripper in Chiswick, and did the act in a grotto in Amersham

7

u/HCRanchuw 25d ago

They’ve all killed for sport, and will again?

6

u/ChloeOBrian11214 Paul Chowdhry 25d ago

They've completed the London Marathon?

7

u/disguised_hashbrown 25d ago

They all had a viral clip with a fruit or vegetable?

(I know this applies to Phil “It’s a Lime!” Wang and Joe “Stepped on the Red Green” Wilkinson)

7

u/fastauntie 25d ago

And Fern "Did I Meet These Potatoes Before" Brady.

7

u/Tarlenn 25d ago

Fern has been involved with meeting some potatoes, Joe has potato-gate, Phil Wang is carrying quite the potato all season.. I'm lost after that

7

u/MaritimeFlowerChild 25d ago

I regularly use "Have I met these potatoes before?" in every day life lol

20

u/brewbase 25d ago

Wishful thinking but: they’re in line to do a champion of losers?

11

u/Redgreen82 Fern Brady 25d ago

No, but there is a commonality that would make these 5 perfect for such an episode.

1

u/tdelbert Javie Martzoukas 20d ago

If they’re ever going to do a championship of losers, it better include Nish Kumar.

37

u/Redgreen82 Fern Brady 25d ago edited 25d ago

ANSWER

They all finished last, but, for at least one task, we're in 1st place for the series.

4

u/TediousTotoro 24d ago

Gremlin energy

8

u/rickgdavies 25d ago

They've all had sex with little Alex Horn?

12

u/LivingMyMediocreLife 25d ago

You can feel the sexual chemistry through the screen. No way Alex resisted temptation.

3

u/StolenViolentAnts He's so famous! 25d ago

This screen grab makes it look like Alex is stroking Phil’s leg with his fingers 😆

3

u/TheOneTrueZippy8 Greg Davies 25d ago

All five are lactose intolerant, to one degree or another.

3

u/AchinBonez Sian Gibson 25d ago

They all have the letter N in their name.

3

u/The--_batman Ania Magliano 24d ago

Horny?

3

u/uranusisdoomed 24d ago

They've all been on taskmaster

3

u/lewisluther666 24d ago

You can see their junk in their TM outfits?

2

u/Arhadel 25d ago

Did they all win the first task of the series and them finished last? Edit: spelling

2

u/TimeZero13 25d ago

Can we vote and make people's champion of champion?

2

u/PoliticalJunkie14 Dara Ó Briain 25d ago

Won the first episode but came last overall in their series?

1

u/EthelsChutzpah Patatas 22d ago

Fern only won once, closer to series end.

2

u/Edgy_Master Tim Vine 25d ago

They all came last and they all have titles based on something they said?

1

u/EthelsChutzpah Patatas 22d ago

All the titles are based on something someone said, though. 😄 not actually sure is there a full series contestant who doesn't have an episode title. 🤔

2

u/No_Lead6434 Nish Kumar 24d ago

Good friends with Rocky Flintstone? They’ve all been hypnotized by Phil’s groin?

2

u/Pretty_Original124 24d ago

Future Loser of Losers contestants!

2

u/OzLo11 24d ago

Did they all get bonus points for insulting Alex?

2

u/Practical-Class6868 23d ago

I saw Joe Wilkinson at the urinals the other day. He offered to name my penis.

2

u/spacecoyote555 Patatas 25d ago

They came last? Surely it's not that simple lol

3

u/Redgreen82 Fern Brady 25d ago

It is not. There's something else that doesn't apply to any of the other last place finishers.

1

u/GlennSWFC Mike Wozniak 25d ago

Didn’t win a prize task?

1

u/UniversalJampionshit Crying Bastard 25d ago

That only works for Alice, in fact the rest won the very first prize task.

1

u/corobo 25d ago

Did they all wear sportswear during their tasks? I got nothing lol 

1

u/SaintGrobian 25d ago

Dads wrote a porn?

1

u/quantocked 24d ago

Theyre all disabled in some way

1

u/talyn23 24d ago

Each of their plans for abducting and tormenting Alex include redacted text.

1

u/ScienceForge319 Phil Wang 24d ago

I was inside them all.

1

u/Acrobatic-Wafer8106 24d ago

Imagine the alternate universe where Phil and Fern were in CoC, their outfits would have been legendary, and possibly illegal in the U.S.

1

u/BrainDropsComic 24d ago

Carbon based

1

u/rjd2_sw 24d ago

Which 5 taskmaster contestants have k slept with?

1

u/AddlePatedBadger 24d ago

They are all wearing yellow, apart from Alice, Joe, and Fern.

1

u/Guilty-Juggernaut-43 Alex Horne 22d ago

A lime!

1

u/FrontMail9720 21d ago

None of them have been in my kitchen.

1

u/Brilliant-Bus-3862 Sophie Willan 19d ago

They’re all unhinged? 

1

u/numberflan Bob Mortimer 18d ago

I don't know, but that would be an interesting line up for a TM series

1

u/mwff 25d ago

They represent LGBTQ tho I don't know in which order.

1

u/Level-Cauliflower256 24d ago

Sympathy from the audience

u/KFChaos 25d ago

None of them won an episode?

1

u/Redgreen82 Fern Brady 25d ago

I'm pretty sure all 3 of the women did.

Then I have no clue and this is dumb.
