I mean it when I say that Taskmaster UK series 12.04 is THEE best episode of taskmaster.
it's got the best Greg intro, and the best alex skit. Victoria Coren-Mitchell gets penalised for making a pun and learns to ride a bike during a task. Morgana has a breakdown, Guz has a revelation and Desiree gets high beamed in the crotch. And Alan Davies briefly looks cool.
I decided long ago that the Taskmaster hill I was going to die on was that Victoria was robbed in the proposal task.
She got three points but still came last, when in fact I would argue her proposal was the most effective out of all of them.
The task was "propose to Alex in the most irresistible way" and while everyone else put in effort and she did. nothing. I will forever argue that her proposal was still the most irresistible.
Partially because I'm a lesbian. Partially because of the suddenness and her delivery made it feel illicit and sexy, and one might even go "okay, sure!" out of surprise. All of the proposals felt like they were trying to be proposals, and Victoria's felt like she was genuinely proposing marriage even though she explicitly wasn't. She said "We can have a wedding and a honeymoon right here and now!" and Alex's first response was "how would our surnames work?" before he gave the "can I have half an hour to think about it?"
ALSO, as she's walking away after (brilliantly) completing the task, Alex says "Thanks Victoria. Coren. Mitchell. ... Horne?" Which is more than he did for literally anyone else.
Finally, how could anyone resist a spur-of-the-moment proposal from her???
