Nobody watching the current series or is it just not worth commenting on?

The few episodes I’ve seen have been good. Not top tier but still funny. More I have Taskmaster fatigue after watching so many seasons. Think it would take a really big cast to get me watching a whole season again.Nobody watching the current series or is it just not worth commenting on?
Been decent I think. Doubt we’ll ever get a truly great season again just because of how long it’s been going now.Yeah it's been good imo.
Really strong season this, first time in a while I like all of the cast members.
Sue Perkins has won me over big time. Was not a fan of her at all before this, found her annoying. Really good humour.
Agree with this. Some of the worst tasks in the whole show. The nickname one, the robot hoovers (funny when Sam was saying how crap it was) but a great cast have kept it entertaining. In fairness the live tasks have generally been really good, too.The tasks are a bit meh (which can be expected) but the cast is really good.
Sam's a devious bastard with that sleeping task.
Helps that the cast is a bit more physically able, don’t think jenny eclair was able to do much in the last seriesThe tasks have been better this season than last for sure, at least there's been none of that "stand on this spot and do x" tasks like there were dozens of last season.
But mainly having 5 likeable contestants, and not having an unlikeable shit gaming every task.
Hotel task was great and something that can be repurposed for future series by changing the hotel to something different and causing chaos.
Shame about the final live task but was just one of those things that can either last ages or everyone's eliminated instantly - I like how the ones after Sam got balls as close to the style of his as possible.
Lenny rush is in daisy May cooper sitcom “am I being unreasonable” worth a watch on iPlayer. Steve backshall should be decent. Not sure about zoe ball, don’t expect much from meadon, no idea on the other one.Yeah, really a return to form, that season. I enjoyed it a lot.
The lineup for the new year special is very poor, however. I think I've only heard of two of them.
Meadon is usually quite a sane voice on Twitter and was great on Murder ville, but not sure about the rest. I'll check out that sitcom, as I enjoyed This Country.Lenny rush is in daisy May cooper sitcom “am I being unreasonable” worth a watch on iPlayer. Steve backshall should be decent.

Thought Kojey was great on the NYT. Would be good to see him in a full series. Meaden, Alex and the toaster was a great moment.
Not yet because the full series is usually for comedians and the NY episodes for others, but Alex and Greg have said that going on the NY episode doesn't stop someone from being on the full series at a later point - so there's a chance someone could get the full set of eyebrows, head and body.Has anyone appeared on a NY episode and went on to be in a full series?
Should we not have a new cast list now, or is it champ of champs first?
Yeah, that's good news.Champ of champs saved somewhat since Mae Martin wasn't able to be in it.
I was unfamiliar with Lenny Rush before the New Years Special episode.
I know he won the one off special - that managed to work the small number of tasks so that he wasn't inconvenienced - but I'm not sure how they could have someone like him, or say the blind Chris McCausland, on for a full series of 10 episodes (so 30-40 tasks)?
They had Chris McCausland on House of Games recently and, points wise, he did well - but, again, in order for that they had to change the format so that there were no visual rounds which meant it was a very 'samey' week with plenty of audio rounds each day. It was fine as a one off, but was one of the poorer weeks in terms of variety of rounds so the show would be worse if they had to 'dumb it down' too often.
And I think the same applies to Taskmaster. I can see how the one off New Year Specials can be tweaked for someone like Lenny Rush, Chris McCausland, Rosie Jones, etc, to participate - but I'm not sure how they'd manage to come up with 30-40 tasks for a full series if they were seriously limited in how physical / visual any of them could be?
He's a child, yeah. And also has dwarfism.Is it any good? I've never heard of him, I just know from Wikipedia he's a child.
Was rooting for Dara but felt once again Greg was favourable to him with the scoring, especially for the elastic bands on the head and the hat task.
Ah well, if there is a CoCoC, Josh Widdicombe, Richard Herring and Dara Ó Briain are a good combo so far.
