New Taskmaster- anyone watching?

[anonacfr]

I know he's controversial but I do love Frankie Boyle...

I listened to the podcast, the guest is Sally Phillips so there's no insider info,

If they hadn’t had the weird scoring earlier in the series Mae wouldn’t be so far ahead , it’s pretty unlikely Kiell will get 7 points more next week . This has been a good series overall . The live task last night was fun .

Yeah the scoring this series is really annoying me now, as it means Mae is going to win, I'm almost sure. I would so much rather Kiell!! And Mae would probably have a good chance at winning C of C, too, because she's good at stuff, but just so unfunny about it all.

I liked the paint task and wish the Ivo/Frankie team had got more credit for thinking outside the box.

So much all or nothing scoring, though. They could have had a graduated points scale for the don't-talk-to-Alex task, instead of just disqualifying almost everyone.

Frankie's deadpan comment to Ivo about just keeping his mouth shut was just perfect.

Agree it's going to be difficult for KSB to win 7 points more than Mae - but he might be determined to just to piss Alex off 😉

@TrenchVagina thats exactly my point I said earlier / the others are terrified of Frankie hence no one saying a thing back to him

the lack of any form of banter between contestants is why imo it hasn’t been a must watch series for me

There has been banter though. The Eton refund being an example from this week.

There's definitely been banter - they're always snipping at each other. I've really enjoyed enjoyed the interaction! So looking forward to final. Have got a little get together planned.

Also going to see if there any dates for Mae's stand up - got a little crush on them now I think!

Last episode tonight. Looking forward to seeing who's in the next series

We are watching BGT so will be staying away from the thread until probably Saturday!!

I've really enjoyed this series, great mix of contestants..(especially Kiell and his gorgeous mouth)
Anyone else watching atm?

I'm watching. I bet Kiell used the hose.

Hope so!

shame

What's with the outfits?

Loving this “chess” game 🤣

They’ve occasionally had a theme for the final show, I seem to remember one series where they were all in dinner jackets.

Loved Ivo and Frankie’s lullaby 😂

I think that Frankie, Ivo, Kiell, and Mae are all dressed like the Beatles/Sgt. Pepper.

Jenny just came in her usual style.

The costumes may be a tribute to Sgt Pepper album.

Loved this series.

That was disappointing, the ice was in the middle of the box, so easy to work out according to where standing!

So, thoughts on the next series line up?

Lucy Beaumont
Julian Clary
Sue Perkins
Sam Campbell
Susan Wokoma

Have to be honest, I’m not familiar with the last two but I bloody love Sue Perkins!

Ah just realised the sergeant pepper outfits were for the psychedelic series theme

Lucy Beaumont is no from me. Smugger than smug, and that voice is like nails down a blackboard. Bloody love Sue Perkins and Julian Clary though.

Don't know the last 2. Love Sue and Julian. Can't stand Lucy.

Not keen on Lucy, Sue is fab, Julian should be fun, no idea who the last 2 are
