I hope that means we are getting even more international taskmasters.

New Zealand and Austraila taskmasters doesnt seem like enough by themselves to spin off a new channel.

Armando's censorship task in particular was way over-scored IMO. I'd have given Amy 5, Joel 4 (I liked the "censoring the people on the bench even though they signed a waiver" bit), Joanna 3, Kumail 2, Armando 1. I'm really pulling for Amy this series, I think she's amazing.

Everyone seems particularly insane this week.

I was glad Amy won, because her unnecessary-censorship task was so much better than every else's yet she only got a single point relative to them (boo to the cop out, Greg). Although, I guess Armando's was unnecessary (and incoherent).

Joel's photographic snatching defeat from the jaws of victory was hilarious.

I didn't realise at when watching, but that was Hank Green on the bench. He's talked before about how much he's love to be on Taskmaster.

I have no idea what you mean :')

It's fucking cinema that show.

It takes a real alpha to play a beta on his own show.

What a lovely fellow.

I was surprised at that too. Maybe they play in PK.

Thanks for sharing.

Tbf, he might have been told off camera what it was. The magic of editting haha

I'm glad Kumail knew what conkers was, because I had to look up this weird British thing

Another excellent episode! Great to see Armando do well.

Is this the first time an audience member has titled an episode?

Really happy to see Armando win, although Joel wins for the best quips.

I'm sure it occured to Kumail that if he'd won the three-task task then he'd have drawn the episode, or just won if Joel had been penalised.

Commenting so I don't lose the post in Lemmy's annoying search. Will update once I've watched!

Joanna’s story is hilarious. She can’t stop and I love it.

Cockle pants

Kumail spinning around and saying "I am Kumail Nanjiani" with each revolution made it look like he'd finally cracked. They should have used that for the intro.

I was fairly sure that Alex was just pretending he didn't know what the Crystal Maze is, but I looked anyway and found this quote from a 2015 interview:

I'd say the Crystal Maze [was an influence], that's a good starting point. I used to work in Big Brother in the third series, I was a logger, which was the worst of all jobs, you had to sit and watch what happens and type it into a computer.

That's very handy, thank you!

Well, when I was very young, my dad told me, you should be able to wink so that only the person you're winking at knows you're winking.

I was hoping that as a huge fan of the show Kumail would be really good at it, but man does he seem to be pretty ridgid in his thinking. Joanna is by far my favorite contestant this season. Her laugh is so delightful!

I didnt watch the video (currently in a restaurant) but I love it when someone calls him dickhead and he smiles and waves.

"The Crystal Maze? It's a show that was popular before Taskmaster."
