I was wrong about Rosie. She’s been quite funny.

New episode in and it was great.
The puns from Andy are too funny.

Biggest laugh of the series from me during the dirt/draw task. Great stuff.
This has been a great season and I'll be sad to see it ends in Thursday although if what I heard is true about the cast for next season I can't wait

That was confusing me at first when watching it live as I thought it was the announcement for series 19 and was wondering where the comedians were?
But it obviously made sense when I saw that was the New Year's special cast. Looks an interesting enough group for those one off specials.

Was totally confusing for me as I had spoilers for the season 19 cast and saw these instead.
Really enjoyed this series, definitely one of the better set of contestants for me.
The Jack and Rosie team was so good to watch.

Didn’t think the tasks were great this series generally but the contestants were a good mix, so still an enjoyable series.
Quite enjoyed the two episodes of junior
Taskmaster so far. The tasks are quite simple (which is a bit of a throwback to the early series of the main show) and the kids haven’t been too overbearing. Mike Wozniak is still extremely entertaining.

Yeah, that's a good summing up of the first two episodes so far.
I wasn't sure whether to give the Junior one a watch - as I don't really find kids funny, even less so if they're trying OTT to be so. But I decided to give it a go because of Mike Wozniak being the assistant. He's been great! Everything that's funny is coming though him. And, as you say, the kids that have appeared so far haven't been too overbearing and the tasks have been decent to watch even if they've had to make them quite basic ones.
Definitely better than I was expecting so far.
Yeah, I was worried about this season initially but happy to be proven wrong. Not an absolute classic but overall a very strong set of contenders that complimented each other well. Only Baba felt a bit out of place from time to time but he still had his share of great moments.
Good season. Think the Australian and New Zealand ones have been better lately but this series was at least good and Rosie got to shine more on this program than a panel show. It was a good mix.
TL;DW?
Said he got very close to securing Ayoade, which is pretty new as I think previously it was just said that it wasn't going to happen. Repeated that he thought Stephen Merchant would be perfect but schedule won't line up... and there's some other stuff but I just watched the Greg Davies interview which has made me completely forget everything Alex Horne said. No mention of Taskmaster in the Greg Davies interview but he gives advice to 'young people' to forget going to nightclubs and wear briefs instead of boxers.
New Year Treat is out
Enjoyed that, would have liked to have seen more with those contestants.
That was my thoughts as well.
Didn’t particularly like Blatt but Hannah Fry and David James were outstanding. Didn’t expect it from the latter, granted, I knew next to nothing about him off the pitch.
