Rotate the Pulper - But DON'T Pulp the Egg | Full Task

[@cyanmanta]

Paul Sinha would have given it a quarter turn and said, "Good enough. Now we just hope everyone else pulps it."

During the task, and indeed on rewatch, I fully expected as Ivo pulled out the egg before the whistle, he wouldn’t catch it and it would break. This series gave us many great ivo botches and that would’ve been another

Yeah ! I watched his feet expecting a millimetre of shoe out of the spot, but no !

[@godminnette2]

He wasn't told he couldn't touch the ground, just that he had to stay on the spot - being slightly off it is still on it.

[@FiXato]

"I would just kick myself if I hadn't pulped it yet and I had stopped turning" right before the timer ended and the egg-stir-mination 😂 The equivalent of "I can do one more", when you are at your limit 😂

[@jb123581]

I’m a bit surprised none of them decided to go back and forth between full clockwise/counterclockwise rotations.

[@urieldaluz250]

Given they didn’t know the mechanism of egg based doom, I doubt any of them thought it would help.

[@shinbios]

If you watch carefully, Frankie spins the dial in one direction while everyone else spins it in the opposite direction but the thing inside the drum only spins anticlockwise for all of them, so no matter which way they rotate it the mechanism will still make the egg basket rise.

[@lred1383]

@@shinbios going back and forth would undo the rotation anyway. Although i'm guessing it would also undo your score as well

[@edbarnard6429]

​@@lred1383it wouldn't undo the rotation, as there seems to be some mechanism to provide rotation in only one direction regardless of which way the wheel is turned. Francie is the only one to turn the wheel in a different direction, but every shot of the inside of the pulper has the blade spinning the same way, so even switching which way they spun the wheel wouldn't have mattered

[@TheCrosshare]

Was half expecting a "shoe got off spot" disqualification after all that :D

[@MitchCyan]

I love Mae’s old timey worker impression.

[@DaveDexterMusic]

hear me out: no-one pulped the egg, they just broke it because a) breaking and pulping are two different processes b) the egg was not broken by the pulping action of the pulper and so could not be said to be pulped even when broken c) third thing

[@freescape08]

C) you had the knowledge to argue this point that nobody on the show was able to use.

[@levlowgull3917]

The editing-team was always the secret star of the show but this time they surpassed themselves

[@KathleenFeliciano]

With how often contestants do that, I'm genuinely disappointed it's not an automatic thought for future contestants... Like it's so obvious to at least check to see if you can try to move the "spot."

[@ajreukgjdi94]

It also didnt say the rotations all had to be in the same direction. Just rotate it back and forth 50 times

[@TonyTheYouTuba]

They had such fun putting all that crap inside the pulper 😂

[@Greendawn-di3dl]

Unironically really clever challange. Even all these years and task master still has interesting tasks.

[@phelpysan]

How could it be cheating? It doesn't violate any of the rules set out

[@crazyabe4571]

@@phelpysan Realistically- it depends on how boring it was, and how many other people thought of it, so if 3 of 'em do it- and it takes all the challenge out of the challenge- it's "breaking the rules" but if only one person does it- and it's amusing to see them think of it while everyone else overcomplicated it- or screwed it up- then it's fine.

[@gugu5285]

an... ed... gamble?

[@VanessaMagick]

They don't apply the rules entirely consistently, but the vast majority of the time it's simple - letter of the law, not spirit of the law. Using technicalities and loopholes is actively encouraged

[@AIRDriger]

Clear win of smartness!

[@hancocki]

My question is (and apologies if i missed it) could it be rotated in the opposite direction? Then they could do an endless loop of rotating one way, then the other.

[@CthulhuInc]

[@CykoruKun]

OH FUCK IT, PULP THE EGG!!!

[@alvinip9128]

Since it's based on number of rotations couldn't you just switch between clockwise and anticlockwise? Granted I did not know what a pulper nor the mechanism is prior to this

Yeah, which makes it all the more funny that Alex started reading about coffee pulpers when asked what the machine does.

@Taskmaster I would like to propose a very simple task that I'd love to see the contestants do. Completely bare room with a plain and simple table. A bowl at one end and a packet of Weetabix at the other. All you have to do is put as many Weetabix in the bowl as possible, without spilling any crumbs outside of the packet or the bowl. The sheer fury I get every morning making my breakfast would be very entertaining to see!

I would argue that the egg was never pulped, it was dropped. If pulping is an important enough verb for an entire machine to be created to do it, then the egg must be destroyed in the manner that a pulper would normally destroy an egg.
