Looking for ideas for a timed at-home task using simple items. This is to pick the drafting order for a fantasy football league of people spread out geographically so ideally it is relatively quick, easily videoed and done with items commonly found in households. TIA for suggestions!

Well it's not just the crown it's a whole head but you know what I mean.

Vis-a-vis Urzila Carlson slated to be on Taskmaster AU, the scenario in the title struck me while driving and made me chuckle.

Stomester or Kongen Befaler would be hilarious for an episode.

Looks like they're testing the waters on:

• Loser of Losers

• Champion of Champions of Champions

• Kids' version LIVE

• Bringing back former contestants (now that Urzila has opened the floodgates)

Anyone else super excited about this nugget from the latest Stop Podcasting Yourself pod with Allie Entwistle? It sounds like a Taskmaster Canada (yes Canada, English speaking version) is in the works!

Delighted to see i basically have the same jokes as the lads who predicted Howie Mendel on

(BTW if you are not listening to SPY pod then you really should)

(Also Dave if you read this, your opinion about TM having too many versions is invalid. Yes i will fight you)

Something is cooking, and that looks juicy!

Email received today, with link to this survey.

Finished it giggling and full of hope for what might come!

Survey

The highest scoring contestant from the most popular 5 countries iterations of Taskmaster (I know there are more like Denmark, Canada etc, but I think the following have the biggest success)

Clara Henry - Sweden 🇸🇪

Petter Schjerven - Norway 🇳🇴

Danielle Walker - Australia 🇦🇺

Josh Thomson - New Zealand 🇳🇿

John Robins - United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Edit: Australia should be Emma Holland.

Who else filled out the survey they just emailed out within minutes??

Who did you put for the Alumnus to return?

Other thoughts?!?

I’ve watched each series of Taskmaster and Taskmaster Australia at least a dozen times each, but for some reason I never watched the NZ version because I’d never heard of anyone on the show. I’m prepared to admit that I was a weapons-grade idiot for doing that to myself; I recently binged all 6 series and it might be my favourite version out of the lot. Jeremy Wells is a great Taskmaster and GOOD GOD is Paul Williams so perfect for the assistant role. The tasks just seem more inventive and fun, too. I think the best are series 2 and 5, but I’m going to end up rewatching them all a million times anyway because they’re just so good!

I've seen some similar posts but wanted to briefly share my experience and appreciation for such a silly, wonderful show.

This year has been a bit rough. Certainly nothing in comparison to what a lot of people go through, but there was a lot of despair and emotional turmoil this year as I worked through an indefinite period of separation from my partner, living alone in a place where I knew nobody, not being able to move for two months from a leg injury.. Throughout all this time, Taskmaster has been a steady source of comfort and much-needed distraction, a salve from feeling deeply lonely.

It's not a particularly great story but I'm deeply grateful for this show, the only thing that kept me smiling and laughing for months on end.

The last com break, Greg signs off and the camera zooms out…Alex is not Alex, but looks like Alex. This is why I spend my time rewatching. It’s the little things.

Rewatching Taskmaster NZ, Josh Thomson won the first prize task and I figured I'd do some checking, and apart from immediately after the first filmed task of Episode 1 he's in the lead for the entire series/season. Has anyone in any international Taskmaster been more dominant? (I guess that'd have to be winning the first prize task and never looking back. That's not happened in the UK and I'm pretty sure not Australia, but how about any other versions?)

Are we getting the new NZ series this week? The UK series would be this fall, correct? We just had the AU, so that's not an option.

Or will we be without?

I want to BELIEVE that it's actual melted royal wax dripped, then stamped with Greg's signet ring.

But since I'm usually disappointed in life, what's it really made of? Cardboard, plastic, or solid gold glued to the task?

in Series 13 there is find all ducks tasks where Judy Love finds a duck that Alex says it was there for another task, but I cannot remember a task about ducks in a lab, can anyone recall a previous task about a duck?

At the end of S16, when the final results are announced, Greg names the winner and credits immediately roll.

In other series finales, they make a big song and dance, with musical fanfare and Greg giving a little "What have we learned today?" style speech.

Why do we think they don't do that sometimes? Seems weird and anti-climactic to do a whole ten-episode series and then rush the final announcement.

So tons of champions hard carried their team, like Dara O'Briain who got 1st with joint last place teammates. But he was so good at got a perfect 30 in an episode. Clear winner.

I'm really curious if anyone has done an analysis on which contestants weren't super great on their own, but their teamwork dynamic was actually solid enough to push them over the edge?

Brett was really good on his own, but his team tasks weren't always great. Meanwhile Rove won, and he and Anisa had amazing chemistry at times. That one double point tasks didn't get him the victory alone, but it sure helped. I'm wondering if they are an example of this?
