Is your top of the favourites still the same?
No. It will never be the same. As I told before, I was extremely disappointed in James Acaster, coz his jokes about Noel were awful, so he’s not in the top of my favourites anymore. I know that it was just for the show, but he gone too far this time. I’m not going to remove my posts with him, even with Noel behind, but I’m still offended for him. That’s why my top looks like that now (he’s not even in top 20!)
Noel is upper than all this tops!
Top 20 after Noel Fielding
1. Dave Brown
Played Bollo the gorilla in The Mighty Boosh. I love his photo works. And I think he’s a great guy, no worse than Noel. Yeah, he probably doesn’t look so extraordinary, but still awesome :) x
2. Joe Lycett
I have told already that I luved him after Taskmaster. He's actually lovely, smiling boy. I'm really enjoying watching the shows with him. Yes, he looks silly sometimes. But it makes him adorable. And he looks pretty :)
3. Sean Hughes
This man was the first reason why I started watching Never Mind The Buzzcocks, before I found out about Noel. I'm genuinly cried when he passed away, was depressed quite a long time. Now I calmed already. I still luv him and rewatching old shows where he took a part with a light nostalgy. I think he was a nice person.
4. Alan Davies
Looking at Alan on QI, I always thought that he is a big kid. Always laughing, joking around and laughs contagiously, being dummy :) Then I watched his show As Yet Untitled. Quite comfortable and soft dude. This show made me to change opinion about Alan in better way, so now he's my favourite.
5. Simon Le Bon
True legend! Strong voice, looking gorgeous and having a great sence of humour! It's a frontman of my favourite band Duran Duran. I was Duranie before Noel. Being Duranie I found out about Never Mind The Buzzcocks where Simon took a part. Then it become my favourite show! And I still in love with this band <3
6. Rhod Gilbert
When I seen him in NMTB first time, he seemed too rough and angry. Then he took a role as permanent host of the final BBC series. I was wrong, he is a nice guy, just brutal ;) Although he couldn't rise the show, he's still great!
7. Phill Jupitus
I've never been his fan. But I still respect him for a long time being on Never Mind The Buzzcocks. This show could be cancelled much shorter if he would leave it behind.
8. Brian Cox (Professor)
I'm not a fan of the scient, but this guy is not just a Professor! He also a great actor! Entire The Universe musical explains everything! All you need is just to watch it to realize how wonderful is it! <;3
9. Ed Gamble
I found out about this pretty guy from Mock The Week. He is so positive and funny, always laughing :D Sometimes being rough a bit, but still very nice. My interest to him become stronger after Taskmaster and then after The Great British Bake Off and also I like his podcasts :)
10. Ed Byrne
Another Ed that I started interest in after Mock The Week. It's an Irish crazy comedian. He can be mad as hell then say anything unusual and laughing hard. They are obviously good friends with Dara O'Brain :) Their tandem was a classic. I'm not a fan of the show, but I will miss it (BBC axed it), still very nice <3
11. Lliana Bird
I respect this woman first of all for Noel! She gave him a big support that helped him to be alive now. It's a big love! Who knows full story, will guess what I mean! It's not just a beautiful lady!
12. Aisling Bea
Irish female comedian with original voice. She is beautiful and interesting person. Started like her after QI and Big Fat Quiz :)
13. Chris Ramsey
One of the fewest celebrities that I like firstly for the laugh and beauty :D Started to love him after Never Mind The Buzzcocks
14. Eddie Izzard
Interesting drag comedian. He likes dressing as a female, but still staying a man. Started interest after his tandem with Noel in Big Fat Quiz.
15. Kevin Scott Richardson
It’s the oldest member of Backstreet Boys. When I was younger, he was my favourite. And I still like him. He still looks beautiful and young :)
16. Greg Davies
I always respected him, from the first season of Taskmaster. But after that reviving of NMTB, there were some rumours that he helped the Sky team with that! And now he’s on my top!
17. Ricky Wilson
During the period when I was Duranie, I found out about Kaiser Chiefs. I didn't knew anything about them at all, but their lead singer Ricky Wilson interested me. He was a little chubby then and his voice was similar with young Simon Le Bon. It was the song I Predict Riot. Then I found information about him and realized that there is nothing in common between these two singers. Years later, Ricky lost weight and became a handsome man. But for me, he's always been cool. I like him :)
18. Lee Mack
True legend of Would I Lie To You! But I stareted respect him much earlier! Whe he hosted NMTB! I'm surprising, how the hell he didn't become a permanent host??? He would me amazing! His legendary "BAATMAAN!" explains all :D
19. Paul Foot
Not quite fan, but he’s so damn hilarious! I’d be happy to see him in NMTB again, obviously in Noel’s team. They’re both worth each other :)
20. Martin Kemp
I can’t say that I’m a fan of Spandau Ballet, but after the last Never Mind The Buzzcocks without Noel there, Martin Kemp was the one adequate guest. He didn’t make dirty jokes about Noel or anyone else and was unbelievably polite. So I liked him and started to respect. Quite deserved!

4) Favorite quote from the Taskmaster Book of Quotes --
Googling tells me that I, on Season 10, am just about to get to Greg starting to talk about his Book of Quotes. So looking at these with literally no understanding or context, I have to go with "It's floating like two dicks." That sounds like something I'd say.
11) Dream contestant(s) for the future --
Honestly my dream contestant is both never going to happen and a bit of a surprise considering my blog - RM of BTS.
RM is on a variety show with the rest of BTS called "Run BTS", and the best description I csn think of for it is "the seven richest men you can think of get into knock-out drag-down competitions over ramen coupons and $15 gift cards". It's honestly fairly close to Taskmaster, except every episode is one whole task.
RM strikes me as behaving like Ed Gamble, if Ed Gamble also acted like he's the smartest person in the room. RM would regularly explode while trying to fish a thimble out of a bathtub without touching either or whatever. RM's prize tasks would also be legendary, as he is a true Art Hoe and Greg would be losing his shit over the obtuse metaphorical meaning of whatever thing he shows up with.
I don't think TM could even begin to afford RM, and he's also not a comedian, but he'd be so so fun to watch fall apart.
Some more potential dream contestants who are a bit more likely to happen:
- John Oliver, obviously, because of my single-minded desire to see him in as many pieces of media as possible.
- Demetri Martin, because I have no idea how his extremely cerebral stand-up would translate to this show. I think poorly, which would be amazing to behold.
- Ed Byrne. Dara opened the door, let's get my college Mock the Week fave on there!!!
- Karl Pilkington. I think we see that a theme for my most wanted players has more to do with how weird or unique they'll be on the show, not if they'd actually be skilled at Taskmaster. So obviously I have to see how Karl would deal with this.
16) Favourite contestants --
I'm gonna divide this into two responses. My favorite overall contestant, in terms of performance, skill, chaos, and likability, is Richard Osman. He was the first contestant I watched that I fully rooted for, and he turned in one of my favorite creative tasks ever, the Bittersweet Symphony riff for his nursery rhyme. Runner-up here is Russell Howard, because good god what was he doing that whole time. Incredible. He should have gotten first place for the hypermasculine Top Gear tattoo (genuinely the hardest I laughed the entirety of season 6).
My favorite contestant for extremely shallow reasons is Mark Watson, because he's hot as hell. (I have a definite type.)
