When this is the contestants’ reaction to a pre-recorded task before it is shown, we know it’s going to be good.

So like many others I'm sure, I've been getting tons of Taskmaster clips popping on my tiktok fyp and youtube recommend

Mostly the new Zealand version, so I've became a little obsessed with Paul Williams

Then I started getting more clips of the UK version and ofc have also become a little obsessed with Alex Horne

Then a clip with Russell Howard showed up and I remembered how I used to watch clips of the Russell Howard Hour and Mock The Week

So I decided to watch more clips with him and I found out all of series 6 is free on youtube so ofc I'm currently binge watching it and I'm a little obbessed with Russell Howard too now

Regrading Taskmaster: S06E05 H.

This is the "I'm Alex Horne and I support apartheid" episode.

Yup.

Prize Task: The Sturdiest Thing

They actually are disgusting, aren't they?

Greg defines "sturdy" as whether it would survive him falling on it from 15 feet. This is arbitrary, but it does raise an important question: sturdiest by expectations or in totality? I'm of the mind that totality governs here, otherwise it would be "the most surprisingly sturdy thing."

Tim's plastic dog actually seems kind of difficult to break. Eggs are famously easy to break, to the point where you have to actually be mindful to not break them. I think I could kill a donkey pretty easily. I don't want to . . . but I could. Alice does a plastic greenhouse, which is sturdy against some things. Unfortunately, I immediately thought of how easy it is to get through it with a knife and then began to think about how I could get through it with my bare hands.

Russell's brother's calves are crazy well defined. I'm not really sure how to categorize this one because they would probably be difficult to tear into, but he could tear them by exerting too much effort.

I think the way to go is Asim last (easy), then Alice, then Liza, then Russell, then Tim. It's not the easiest designation, but I'll find a way to sleep at night.

Alice: 2 (-2) Asim: 1 (0) Liza: 3 (-2) Russell: 4 (+1) Tim: 5 (+3)

VT 01: Without leaving the caravan, work out how long this piece of string is. Most accurate answer wins.

I might do it in lobsters.

No one really seemed to know the trick that your wingspan is about the same length as your height.

We're gonna knock Alice out of contention right away. Absolute shit workaround attempt. No interpretation of the task means that you can cut your own desired length of string and measure that. It clearly meant the length of string that existed at the time the task was read.

We get the mess of imperial and metric measurements. Asim says 500 ft. (152.4 m.). Russell says 31 m. (101.706 ft.). Liza cuts the string off from the spool, which I'm a little more willing to consider, because it's semi-reasonable that the task could be referring to the unwound string. However. she doesn't even say which piece of string she's guessing when she says "4 miles" (21120 ft., 6437.38 m.), so she's getting the same treatment as everybody else (not that it would matter). Alice's guess is 5'7".

Tim uses a lobster and I'm actually not sure how he did it, because it doesn't feel like he's taking into account that both sides of the lobster would be a foot. He does it though. He says a lobster is a .98 feet and he guesses 308 lobsters.

Alex does round up in lobsters and down in string for Tim. It doesn't affect the scoring though. This is a very long-winded way to say that they got it right.

Alice: 2 Asim: 4 Liza: 1 Russell: 3 Tim: 5

VT 02: Pull this tablecloth off the table. Most eggs left unbroken on the table wins. You have one attempt and may not tamper with the table, tablecloth, or eggs.

Heh. Eggs.

Aren't they tampering with the tablecloth by removing it?

Task doesn't say "fastest wins."

They all nail it and honestly, I'd love for them to show more tasks where they all nail it.

Alice: 5 Asim: 5 Liza: 5 Russell: 5 Tim: 5

Team Task: Find the link then do it exactly 100 times.

Have we ever had a clearer metaphor for the plight of women through the ages?

This is the only time we see the back of the lab (revealing it's just a bedroom). Nothing to be said that wasn't said during broadcast.

Alex says the team of three was at 8:07. Team Funk did it in 11:18. Greg doesn't split the points anymore, but I do.

Team Funk: 2 (-1) Team of Three: 3 (-2)

VT 04: Pull off the most elaborate trick shot.

Look at the crazy trick.

Oh, this one gets me salty. Liza deserved last so much because she used the crew and no one would believe that was an actual trick shot. Somehow, I'm putting Alice above her, because she was at least honest about what she was doing.

It's kind of more difficult to evaluate Russell's mess of challenges versus Tim & Asim's Goldberg machines. "Elaborate" means "carefully arranged" and I think Russell's feels a little more haphazard. Tim's machine is better than Asim's (and is named after a pun) so that's that.

Alice: 2 (+1) Asim: 4 (+2) Liza: 1 (-3) Russell: 3 (0) Tim: 5 (0)

Live Task: Throw as many eggs onto the shelves as possible. You must lie flat on your bed at all times. Most eggs on the shelves wins.

No condition about being broken or intact. There's actually not even a condition about whether they have to stay there (though tough grading if they don't). Asim also steals an egg from Liza, which I'm very okay with.

I'm also very much okay with how Alex scored this.

Alice: 1 Asim: 2 Liza: 5 Russell: 4 Tim: 4

F I N A L

Alice: 14 Asim: 19 Liza: 18 Russell: 21 Tim: 27

I arrive at the same conclusion as Alex and Greg, Tim deserves a win. I'm giving him his second, where they give him his first.
