Nice throwback to the draw the monster described by the taskmaster task with that plush

[@dxb338]

Even if baba didnt all out cheat on the maze task its still kind of a BS task, Alex basically admitted he was at least partly in control of being caught or not when he said he let emma catch him.

[@mremumerm]

probably because she already was twice as long as every other contestants.

[@Runenut]

yeah agree. i love the concept and the vision, but the execution clearly has too many variables to be considered fair imo.

[@bondfool]

And not particularly amusing to watch, either. But it’s nice that Alex lets his nephew come up with tasks every once in a while.

[@weaseleggs2921]

It’s one of the worst ever unfortunately

[@ez-tn8ic]

I enjoyed it quite a lot I'm afraid

[@willowashe]

We disagree on what “a gentle pace” is.

[@butzmn7190]

I'm super sorry but Baba should have been disqualified from that task. Greg has been WAY stricter about far more mundane rules.

[@macmiller2361]

glad greg called out that live task lol

[@RFC3514]

I think we're slowly starting to realise something that really should have been obvious just from looking at his official Taskmaster photo: Andy is in fact Werner Herzog.

I love how Baba genuinely didn’t realize he says “It’s good, innit” to his children until Greg pointed it out!

[@Anonymouse85]

That Baba got 10 points really messes up the overall scoring, he literally ran around there thinking he was the man lol. Can't believe Greg and Alex let him get away with that. I'm loving Andy more and more each episode though, he's been a great contestant!

[@clairemontoya2791]

I really appreciate the minute and a half between the reminder and the beginning!

[@shllybkwrm]

Same!

[@HiHello-Opd]

Love this show! Free task idea: During the season, surprise the contestants while filming by tossing a ball and shouting, "Catch!" Do it at unique locations and memorable moments so a montage can be shown in the setup. Near the end of filming have them recreate one of the surprise catches 100% accurately using only their memory. They may not ask anyone what happened or use any sort of device to look up what happened. Most accurate recreation wins. Cheating will result in 5 points deducted from your series score for two episodes.

Loving this series, thank you Taskmaster team, for that sweet sweet content

[@drakesfear]

I can't believe none got the hint from Alex. YOU spin me right round

[@teeweezeven]

15:17 TREE WIZARD!

[@krissdev]

Jack is a national treasure 🎉❤

[@mania.v]

I hadn't heard of Jack Dee before I started watching this series, but his humour is my favourite!

[@ArtistocrArt]

Task: you must both walk at a gentle pace Babatunde: almost sprinting, still gets the full points.

[@GortokTheDestroyer]

Jack’s sigh in the intro sounds like how I feel.

Thanks for posting on your channel. Love this.
