thinking abt the inherent tension that comes with being the last person shown to do a task on taskmaster. being the last shown in the selection means you've either aced the task first time or you've fucked it up beyond belief and there is very little in between. sometimes you can tell which it is by the contestant's face before it cuts to VT but sometimes they don't even know themselves. its amazing
Jenny: Who's the biggest cheater, Alex?
Alex: Well, there's three, aren't there: there's Gorman, there's Tim Key, and there's Joe Wilkinson transgressing the red green so deliberately in that potato task. So, probably him. I just don't understand why he did that. On purpose.
absolutely the best recurring bit in taskmaster is when they intro a task and greg says 'well these are intelligent people so they're not going to just blunder straight ahead into it, ignoring [obvious obstacle that doesn't immediately occur to a person under pressure], right?' and alex goes 'yes of course. want to see [two to three people who absolutely did that] first?' and greg goes 'yeeaaahh :]'
