Taskmaster series 12

Famous Mortimer

It was in a movie (I want to say "Living In Oblivion", but I might be miles off) where the makeup person replies "what does it do? It shrinks tissue" when the person was wondering why they were having pile cream put on their face.

The first task was rubbish but the sports one and upside down face one were pretty good, because they allowed the contestants to be creative. And the live task was great.

The best episode of an otherwise weak series.

olliebean

The sports one suffered from the fact that all sport is inherently as boring as fuck. And the upside down face one suffered from the stupid way they just pasted on stills of the upside down faces in the final videos.

Nope. Possibly the worst.

Yeah, just caught up with it, thought it was pretty good. Greg's girly jump at the balloon pop was the highlight.

Why's everyone saying goosebumps like an American? They're goose pimples over here in Blighty. Only Desiree should have been allowed to say goosebumps.

Because if they'd said 'goose pimples' on the task, the lateral thinking they'd planned for (putting the Goosebumps books in the caravan) wouldn't have worked.

olliebean

I've honestly never heard of goose pimples.

That one was ostensibly unfair because some people just don't get goosebumps, but it was disappointing that none of them thought to have a look around for the books.

Also disappointed that Victoria Coren Mitchell hasn't changed the name of her twitter to "Old Goosebumps Arm," but in any case I thought she ought to have got the point just on the basis that the Taskmaster himself was insisting she be called that for the rest of the episode.

Utter Shit

Best episode in ages, certainly the best from this series. Guz is just a naturally funny man, isn't he.

gilbertharding

Also nice that Morgana, like Sally Phillips before her, is clearly playing to the fact that the Taskmaster is a horny man.

He is, but quite coy about it. It's weirdly funny to see his usually outgoing, boisterous personality go all shy when the subject is broached.

Norton Canes

Still really hoping Morgana does an impersonation of Victoria.

greencalx

Yeah, that last one was a good one, so it seems they can still pull it out of the bag. I felt like Morgana was winning all the tasks, but someone Desiree won the episode. Morgana at least seems in with a chance of winning the series. Not that it matters, of course, but if they do do a champions special, I'd like to see Morgana again. And they need to find an excuse to bring Mike back, somehow...

holyzombiejesus

When do they announce the christmas special contestants? (I'm presuming that there will be one this year, or will there be the champions of champions instead?)

The Champion of Champions has definitely been recorded & you'd imagine that'll be the festive offering, otherwise if there is a special like last year's New Years Treat then they've done it without requesting an audience.

They've definitely recorded another New Year's Treat. The studio bits were filmed in front of an audience a couple of weeks ago.

The Roofdog

Anyone know what the series scores are going into tonight's final?

EDIT: I'm being a lazy fucker, an easy google, Morgana only 5 points clear https://taskmaster.tv/leaderboards

Wow - look at how far down the ranks series champion Bob Mortimer is. Any other anomolies?

Oh right. Must've missed the audience call-out for that one.

Might include Champ of Champs, where I think he came last.

greencalx

I think it does.

Had misunderstood from last week that Morgana was trailing by 5 points, rather than being in the lead by 5. Hopefully Davies will avoid a late surge and either Guz or Morgana clinches it. It would be nice if the most entertaining contestant could win it for a change!

Loved that last task. One of the best studio tasks in a long time.

Definitely.
Davies was hilariously dreadful at it.

olliebean

Possibly the best ever studio task, it had me in stitches.

bobloblaw

12 series, 12 white winners. Getting a bit embarrassing now and this was the first series to have two non-white contestants. (Something they're repeating for s13) I know it's luck of the draw but we were *this* close to a Guz win
