In this Broadcast Award-winning, BAFTA and Emmy Award-nominated entertainment show, Taskmaster tyrant Greg Davies (Man Down, Cuckoo), with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne (The Horne Section and the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians.
Comedians that have risked life, limb, and dignity in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud so far include: Frank Skinner (The Frank Skinner Show), Mel Giedroyc (The Great British Bake Off), Romesh Ranganathan (Asian Provocateur), Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Rose Matafeo (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2018), and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour). Unaware of what awaits them in each wax-sealed envelope, only one competitor can become the victorious owner of His Royal Task-ness’ golden head and be crowned the next Taskmaster Champion.

Right?!

Agreed, robbed.

[@DeeFightingDreamer]

literally what I thought. As soon as I saw him topple, my eyes snapped to his other foot still firmly on the carpet to see if they could talk their way out of it. Wish they'd tried to argue about that.

[@thorjelly]

That's what I thought too. Then I realized if you read the rules that way, both teams should be disqualified for jumping, since they were not remaining on the red carpet while in mid-air.

It bothers me that Rusell Howard fell off the carpet, did not knock anymore ducks over, and didn’t profit. Liza Tarbuck CLEARLY is off the carpet when she’s throwing stuff at the ducks!! Scandalous. Disqualification is clearly the wrong way round.

[@Jivvi]

Russell's foot is completely off the carpet. Liza's foot is still on the carpet, even though it's also touching the ground. You could say they're both on the carpet, since they both have at least one foot that's still touching it. Either neither of them is disqualified, or just Russell is.

[@capacitatedflux]

"You must all remain on the red carpet" is not "you may not leave the bounds of the red carpet" so one foot out and one foot on is still "on" the carpet. Also, inching forward (like an inchworm) would have been a better strategy than hopping. Far easier to coordinate too.
