@@djmarz7123 Not a bad list. I was initially gonna contend that Dara S14 should be considered for Brain since he does have a huge head (and come to think of it, Brain and O'Briain nearly sound the same), but then I thought maybe he fits better as Arthur's dad since he did have to wrangle and babysit both Fern and John throughout the team tasks. Or does that role go to Hugh S4?

[@barnaclefelching4079]

Matafeo being her own Taskmaster, a pretty good example of "be your own god", in the way of behaving morally for at the very least your own peace of mind. Supplementary funny comment to follow

[@spicybiscuit88]

I found that so adorable - under pressure aswell. And then Ed having no respect for the rules whatsoever. 😊

Clearly Rose was the people's princess, evidenced by being selected as the Junior Taskmaster. That or she was available, and very cheap.

That's some How I Met Your Mother group dynamics there

[@mirahg99]

the two of them are probably my favorite contestant dynamic across all the series (could be biased by my massive crush on rose tho…)

[@kantahanwithkahel]

Off topic but I think tiebreakers should be done as live tasks. I’m not in any way insinuating that the producers favor one contestant over another, but obviously they already know who did better in prerecorded tiebreakers.

[@Isthisastep]

according to Alex, they order the tiebreakers by entertainment value before the studio recordings

[@Plexippuspetersi92]

Know that your opinion is both valid, and utterly irrelevant.

[@iliketrains3495]

Apparently Rose was pretty mad that Ed won the tiebreaker, but production told her afterwards that Ed beat her in every single tiebreak they recorded. From a general outlook I kind of agree, but the live tiebreakers are among the most unfair ones; with the exception of the one in series 16 where Sam Campbell and Lucy Beaumont had to fire party poppers, they have consisted of numerical guessing games which notoriously favour the second guesser, made very apparent in the first series.
