The "threat" being called "heterosexual male banter" is easily one of my favourite moments of taskmaster

Wot, you got a problem with heterosexual male banter 'en, mate? Eh? Eh? Nahhhhh i'm just jokin' around, yeh? Yer awright, yer awright! Heyyyy! We like to drink with Sreka, 'cause Sreka is our mate! And when we drink with Sreka, they drains it down in 8!

"100 to Flossy and 30K to RADA = Same results" is a bit false equivalence as Susan has used the *same* 30K repeatedly just during this series, so probably even more outside it. No idea how much it would have been to pay Greg to guess thrice wrongly about pineapples, for example.

@@gfox9295 @gfox9295 same here! Lucy's win was such a surprise for even her but she is higher in series score so susan was actually the season underdog. For some reason i didn't even register she had a chance this episode until it happened, but this truly was her episode 🥳

[@gfox9295]

@@bisma1352 Heh, yep. On a similar note... I keep meaning to check back through all the old series and see which ones had only 3 or 4 people with wins. My feeling is that early on (especially before there were 10 eps per series) there were quite a few of those. Heck, there might have been a season with only 2 winners? Nah, probably not. Usually 3 or 4.

[@bisma1352]

@@gfox9295 yeah i remember it distinctly when everyone getting to win at least one episode became a thing even the contestants and greg alex cared about. IIRC it was Mike or someone who had an upset where they were winning the ep but then they lost last task or something and the whole studio was sad for them but yeah I'd be surprised if there's any where only 2 won.

[@iliketrains3495]

@@bisma1352 Presumably you're thinking of Judi Love in series 13, which is probably the most infamous moment of a contestant blowing their lead, but Mike Wozniak actually did have a similar episode where he won every single task except for the live one, but it resulted in him losing his lead to Lee Mack

[@mirandakeigher819]

I adore Susan prancing around throughout her turns in the live task. She's so adorable, and genuinely very talented!

[@bradymadison9377]

Normally a cast has one or two favorites, but everyone in this season is marvelous!

[@AndresGomez-ct7qb]

Yeah, this is my favorite series. By far. The way the contestants genuinely get on and try to help each other win makes for an even more pleasant watch

This price task was the most chaotic and most funny one in a long time

[@TheBlacktom]

Well the prompt wasn't really specific. Best object. Single word. That's it basically. Bring in almost anything.

[@joshandallo2170]

I love that the prize tasks have gotten more and more unhinged and verbose series upon series. You can't just bring in "The most amazing thing" anymore, it has to be "The most amazing thing that you can place on top of an air conditioning machine that weighs less than 5 lbs and would make someone go 'What is that?'". 😂

prize* The words "prize" and "price" have completely different meanings.

If this were series 15, they'd be arguing til sundown about the phrase "standard coin toss", and never would let go of the fact that Lucy's 2-headed coin wasn't "standard".

Susan is very much giving Isabelle from Animal Crossing

The little smirks on Julian’s face during the secret task task lol are hilarious and adorable

Sam's clothes are so unnoteworthy that they become noteworthy

Julian can be a Bond villain or a petty gangster. Awesome guy 😂

I spent the last few weeks obsessively catching up on Taskmaster, this is my first time watching a brand new episode. Thrilled to be here with y'all. 😊

[@charlielew2933]

Watching the Sue’s friendship blossom has been truly beautiful. 💕

[@haniapopowska8966]

I don't think I've laughed this hard during any other episode of the series.

[@Connnor]

Completely agree and I'm watching since it started. This one was very very special.

[@kris778]

Same, I think it might be my favorite episode ever though it is hard to pick just one 😂

[@scully47]

I’m going to miss this show when the season is over, waiting for the next season to start. Maybe I can go back and watch over again from the very first episode.

[@dxb338]

taskmaster NZ is really good. it has its own flavor that almost lives up to the original. Taskmaster AU is watchable but for me doesnt capture the magic. those are what i watch when there is no taskmaster UK and i want some taskmaster.

[@BlueManIan]

​@@dxb338UK has borrowed tasks from NZ so NZ is well worth it!

[@scully47]

@@dxb338 I’ll give the NZ version a try. Thanks!

My husband sleep talks. My favorite was when he sat bolt upright and said "we must ally against our common foe". When my brother would sleep walk, he was always looking for something.
