This might make the thread a bit repetitive but this whole series has been great so far. Great contestants, some fantastic tasks and Greg doesn’t seem bored.

I am surprised that Maise is the angriest one, but she is hilarious.

Those evil middle-aged men finally broke her...we live in a society...

Funny that we both have a 'Reece's bad day' and a 'Maisie's bad day' episode apiece now. It's nice to see Phil be a complete wildcard oscillating from sneaky fucker in that studio task to David Baddiel-tier idiocy like in the heart team task.
 
Yeah absolutely another banger of an episode. Just outright guffawed so many times. Every contestant is great in their own way and they have hilarious interactions as well. When Reece turned into a Leahue of Gentlemen character to tell Masie to shut it I fucking lost it.

Plus Reece and then Phil in the live task is just peak Taskmaster.

I feel like that task was in itself not much, but the way everyone solved it (or failed to) and the discussion around it, including Sanjeev revealing he'd been carrying around 25 quid every episode so far because he didn't know when that segment was gonna show up. And the 25 quid then coming back so he had a reason to make everyone try to eat it!

This season is something else.
 
Mantzoukas and co. may have awoken the coasting beasts, it seems like this season so far has consistently had some of their best studio tasks. Also, it's possible that Phil Ellis might be seeing a white-man-Taskmaster-winner comeback from the last couple episodes' results

I feel like the bit they did for ages where Greg just hated everything Alex said during the banter segment was kind of bringing the mood down right at the beginning of every episode. He seems to allow himself to actually find them funny again and I think the vibe is better for it.
 
"And Anya, short for genetic reasons."

Sanjeev was robbed. He did put the flippers on within ten minutes of entering the room. The rules didn't specify that it had to be within ten minutes of entering the room the first time.

I believe this season was filmed before last season.
 
I think this was the weakest episode so far this series. Only because I didn't like the dribble art. Still overall, I enjoy all of the comics on this series which is a massive plus. I would be happy if any of them win

This season continues to be strong. The museum heist was a bit of creative spark, though we continue to be subject to LAH’s festishes with the “dribble art”

I wish the museum heist had some kind of penalty for being caught by Alex. Not even straight disqualification, but like put the person who was caught into jail and if all members of a team are caught, they have to start over.

It was just too easy to brute force as is.
 
Greg once again hobbles a team becauae he's shit at charades. You love to see it.
 
Winning not one, but two tasks in the same episode with the "I don't fucking care" method feels a bit wrong but I am happy the Sanjeev isn't falling behind in points.

Editors deliberately rubbing salt in Reese's wounds.


Anyone want to see Stevie's turtle imitation?

It was nice to see some catharsis from the contestants in the form of spraying Alex with water. Almost had to pause the show I was laughing so hard.

Was this the closest season ever? Three contestants tied for first, and Sanjeev wasn't too far behind.

After an unprecedented 3-way series tie and a kinda anti-climactic studio tie-breaker, Maisie Adam is your Series 20 winner!

Good series overall. Hope Greg and Alex can keep their enthusiasm aflame for a 3rd series in a row for the next one!

CLicked on the podcast by accident before watching the show and wasn't happy with the winner. Then I watched the episode and she deserved the win if only she played the same way throughout the series. CoC episode will be very abusive.

Sanjeev did them dirty... :(

Anya would've cinched the win if she didn't come last in the live task. But also, fuck the producers for putting the teacup task in the last episode and making Sanjeev out to be the villain.

I was hoping it was a secret sabotage task but they never rolled the clip. He played it off very well, but then he actually felt bad. He was my favorite this season.
