[@RoyalReyna]

@@J-BiRTH Getting the three of them in the hammock for a short period (because they only have to be in it at the end) is easier than trying to stack heavy items, especially on top of someone. The fact is that if they had worked together to balance in the hammock they would've had more weight, so Lou was right. I know it's a timed challenge, which is why it is more beneficial to work to balance inside the hammock than use what little time you have to find and then drag heavy stuff back. The heavier it is, the harder it is for them to actually bring it back and put it into the hammock. Challenges like this are the epitome of Taskmaster, they show how people think differently, but also how the pressure makes people panic to the detriment of the task. Taking a second to think and weigh out the options would've been the best for them, but he was too worried about doing *something* that he didn't stop to think about what would be most effective.

First episodes "I know its early days, but are we the dumbest ones?"

[@bananaboatcharlie]

Him being angry is a part of his life as a comedian. I don't know if you've seen his stand-up, but essentially he's always playing a character (like Richard Ayaode or Alex Horne). He really loves the show, he talked about how excited he was and how much fun he had, and the others have talked about how hilarious they found him. You can see the difference in energy when people are genuinely angry at each other (Lou and Iain) versus when James is playing it up for laughs. He never winks or acts sarcastic to giveaway the joke, he plays it totally straight which I find unbelievably funny. You can see Greg losing it as well whenever Jame gets angry.

I am incredibly passionate about the fact that Joe was 100% right in his eraser rant. Erase can either mean 'rub out' or 'make something cease to exist'. The erasor STILL EXISTS, SOMEWHERE IN SOME PIPE. If someone were to take it out of the little toilet paper he wrapped it in (to protect it from damage I guess????? which is the complete opposite of TRYING TO ERASE SOMETHING) it would still probably be useable as an eraser. IT'S STILL AN ERASER! IT'S THERE. IT'S NOT ERASED, IT'S ONLY REPLACED. The bonus points for Joe do not make up for how completely UNFAIR it was to actually count the others' points. I'm more passionate about this than I probably should be.

[@tuxedobike4067]

That's an excellent argument! But for the sake of playing devil's advocate, could you argue that making an eraser incapable of its intended purpose would, in a sense, make it not an eraser? I've tried to use a soggy eraser before, and can summarise that moisture renders it basically obsolete.

@@sparo_splat because its not important feature. Same as you would draw giraffe and started with "horns" sure they have horned-like bone structure, but main thing is long neck. Same with hippo - its shape of animal, or even cartoony head with rectangle teeth. Also hippo does not have whiskers like cats, it looks completely different

[@jonsmith5058]

@@tomekgulash I'd say bad example because a giraffes horns are still pretty iconic, even if you could get it confused with a goat for example, whereas I don't think hippos are really well know at all for whiskers, certainly not that size. She just did a shit drawing, I dunno why she did it side on rather than in profile. That being said, Katherines chicken was seriously something awful....... I think its more like drawing whiskers on a hedgehog. Sure they have them, but wtf are you doing trying to make them the main focus point.

The Baroness was a surprise hit at how naturally funny she was (sometimes its: 'I'm rich, see differences' which can work but it a bit limiting) and the Paralympian Jonnie was exceptionally good at tasks (and was ROBBED by Gerg for not getting more points), pity he wasn't well enough to do the studio and who doesn't love Claudia's chaotic energy, Leshurr's curious obsession with salmon was most amusing.
