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.

[@sometroii6561]

I'm with Romesh on the pie breaching. Picking up is a normal use-case for a pie. If the pie falls apart when picked up normally, it's the fault of the pie maker. Whoever made that pie set it up for failure. You could say that the pie breached itself when they picked it up, you could say that the person who made the pie breached the pie, but you definitely can't say that the people who picked up pies that fell apart breached the pies.

[@SahiPie]

Look at it this way: Had the individual not picked up the pie, the pie would still be “unbreached” so hence, the individual was the one who had breached the pie. Case closed.

[@sometroii6561]

[@stupidas9466]

It is amazing how awful toothpaste is to eat. My four year old grandson woke me early early one morning, and before i was fully awake he put a "mint oreo" cookie in my mouth telling me how he wanted to share it with me. Little bugger replaced the white centre of a regular oreo with tootpaste. Took me about three or four seconds of chewing to realize i'd been had, as the texture turned all "foamy" and my gag reflex kicked in. It was over ten years ago and as i type this i feel the nausea returning. Haven't been able to even look at an oreo since, and cannot use a mint flavoured toothpaste either. Great joke the lad pulled though, so proud of him!

[@taleladar]

Well there's a reason they all say DONT SWALLOW IT.

@@Katt1n because obviously the whole plot of the story was that the pies were fresh pies for each contestant! So the twist was that they didn't, I guess? I'm just going on @Kamiel's logic here

[@DrakeOola]

@@basbloem8259 No. The plot twist was the fact that the pie lost structural integrity and the gap grew wider making it more obvious that you could peak in from the bottom and still follow the rules. That means the first contestant had it the worst and that's probably why he did the worst as his only option was to follow Roisin's logic which he unfortunately didn't think of. His pies were definitely more solid and lacking the peep holes like the other contestants had. It also explains why the latter contestants had the bottom of their pies fall apart. They didn't exactly treat the pie any rougher than the other contestants yet it fell apart as soon as they picked it up. Of course, they'd need new pies after it fell apart or they ate it anyway but that just further adds to the inconsistency and hence adds another layer of unfairness.

Josh and Romesh didn’t “breach” the pies. “Breach” implies intent, and the pies clearly “broke” when Josh and Romesh picked them up in a normal manner. To build on the taskmaster’s example, the driver was clearly at fault. However, no reasonable person would see the accident and say, “wow, what a terrible breach,” or “wow, the car really breached that house.”

To be fair when he lifted the pie and the bottom came off id say that isn't a breach. The car through the house example isn't sound. Reason being the house is stucturally sound. That pie on the other hand was not. It should have been the fault of whomever made the pie. Example, if you buy a bucket of paint and you lift it. If the bottom falls off with all the paint is that your fault. Or is it the fault of the wherever you purchased it from?
