This might be my 2nd favourite season. The banter and silliness of this lot is great.
Television Taskmaster | Series 18 starts tonight
- Thread starter prateik
- Start date
Sausage mixer is the most I’ve laughed at anything in a long time
The name task as well 
An instant classic
Sausage mixer will go down as one of the greatest moments in TM history. Surprised it passed health and safety
Alex getting increasingly annoyed by Bridget is one of my favourite bits from this season..
Alex : Just walk normally
Bridget : I am walking normally!
*proceeds to walk like a feckin lunatic*

I still haven't recovered from that blatent attack on the Irish today in last night's final task by Judi love.
Her only chance to finally won an episode and instead of going for it she attacked our Irish hero instead who was not even in the running.
This is an outrage hopefully Channel 4 will issue an apology

Judy on TM
Another great episode. Loved the bit where Ardal tried the balance the wooden spoon after Chris doing the ladder
Ardal and Chris are brilliant contestants, and I didn't particularly like Chris before TM. Judy has been better than I expected, too.

The entire lineup are brilliant, probably the second best so far after season 7
Chris is like if you built someone to do well at Taskmaster, has a general all round level of competence at random shit.
He's obviously a huge fan of the show which is surprisingly rare in the show as most contestants weirdly have little idea of what the show is about before signing up.
Chris though is someone who wanted to be on the show so much and it's aware that there is usually a trick to the tasks that he is constantly looking for.
Unlike say Richard Herring who was similarly a fan Chris seems more like Ed Gamble and aware that he has to combine doing well with being entertaining as well.
Apparently he'd not watched much of it before they asked him to take part, due to him feeling envyous of all his mates who'd been on it already!
Anyone know when the second Champion of Champions will air?

She can borrow a dog whenever she wants don't you know?
Been a great series but prob one of the weaker episodes tonight task-wise. Funniest was the stage task and Judi being Judi
This has overtaken series 4 as my favourite so far. The only way next series can potentially live up is if they somehow get Karl Pilkington.
Ugh that tongue task made me so uncomfortable.
Sophie is seriously hot weirdly obsessed with death and going to win.
Chris was genuinely disgusted when the series score was announced, he really wants to win it

Yeah I've felt he's been better when he is not trying to win it so much.
Don't think I've seen Alex lose it as much as he's doing in this series. Ardal especially seems to make him burst into laughter
And Bridget seemed to actually piss him off during the "Guess the Shoe" task.
Surely he must have played/created it before... Maybe sausage swingball or something, instead of the mixer.
If not, how would you think of that so quickly?!
Havent laughed out loud at taskmaster for a long time. This season has been very strong, sad it's ending next week
There have been high points to this season but I still wouldn't have it near the Acaster series. I may be viewing it through my Wozniak lenses but I also think last season was better (once you got over the volume issues).
Having the audience and them sitting beside each other makes a massive difference that I just can’t rate last season up there, as great as Mike was. He deserved an audience for all his lunacy.
the show is always at its best when they are super competitive and into it which they’ve all been this season.
Geordie fella, who's name currently escapes me annoys me a bit. Similar to Ed Gamble.
Also the young woman is about as funny as an exposed haemorrhoid. The rest are good though.
I agree the live banter is much better this series though.
Sophie Duker? Feel like she's been decent.
I've liked them all. Judy especially has subverted my expectations.
Chris is just super competitive and it shows sometimes, but he's also very good at it, and sausage mixer was great. I liked Gamble too, though.
Ardal is just... lovely. I want him to be my friend.
I can only remember Ardal and Judi.
I really don't find her in anyway entertaining. I didn't like the older woman at first either but she's really grown on me as the series went on.
Judi is brilliant, as is Ardal, in a dopey, daft uncle kind of way.
It may be conformation bias but he's basically just Dougal.
You think? I actually find he's come across as incredibly intelligent and witty on it. I was expecting another grump like Alan Davies.
Obviously not as stupid as Dougal and it may just me only really knowing him as Dougal, but he just reminds me of him with the way he acts.
Oh I was starting to wonder if one of the previous champions was refusing to come back for this mostly Liza as her season was weak and I've always read some comments she wasn't exactly great to have on the show.
Lou Saunders is airways good for chaos and Ed is obviously a taskmaster superfan who understands what's needed to make the show work
Definitely Wozniak lense. This season has been by far the best since pre pandemic.
Agree that it's not up there with the very best though. As well as the Acaster series, I'd rate Season 2 above it as well, and think you can make a case for 3, 4, and 5 all being higher too.
