I was wondering aswell: If you cheat in a task, then get awarded the points etc. Etc. And then, AFTER the next task you reveal that you cheated... Is it gonna be penalized? IMO you should get a bonus point if you manage to cheat without getting caught by anyone, especially since there's so many cameras

There are few clips that make me INSTANTLY lose it, but Romesh just slamming that watermelon kills me every 👏🏻 time 👏🏻

"Put me in the dark, I'm gonna have some fun" I'm sure Ashens was disappointed to hear that and find out what he'd missed out on

Dave Gorman has always presented himself as being a bit cheeky, but I had no idea that he's a filthy dirty cheater. I love him even more now.

I swear every time I watch Romesh completely smash that watermelon I lose it.

Aw, no Sian cheating with the balls nor Jon taking an item with him because it didn't cross the river...

Mawaan did not cheat. Mawaan inadvertently found a loophole. The rules were grapefruit can’t leave the room and the last 8 minutes feet must stay in the mark. Most spaghetti in the grapefruit wins. He got the most in the grapefruit. Fair win.

I think Hugh's mirror usage is perfectly brilliant. Ceci n'est pas une pipe logic... and if you're looking at someone in a mirror behind you, you are undeniably looking away from them, and not looking AT them. If his drawing hadn't been so terrible he could have really made something of that workaround 😂

Yes exactly. And there is even a big Magritte like painting in that Taskmaster house. Clearly an endorsement of that very kind of logic.

He could have handed his phone through, and asked her to take a picture and type her name.

Ive watched Series 1-11 so many times. I still laugh hard AF at the watermelon, the exotic sandwich, flour toss and many others.

Tim and Romesh on the watermelon task is hands down my most favourite tv moment of the decade

Tim & Rob are like the two destructive naughty cousins you just can’t help but love

Dave Gorman is one of my most fav contestant on this show. And one of my most fav comedians. And probably one of my most fav human being. Absolute legend.

same!

It was Johnny’s “back in the room with evil delight” that made me crack lol

Caricature story: The mirror literally has a sticky note on the back of it that says "Do Not Take" lmao

They were asked to do art. Shakespeare said that art is holding up a mirror to life (or nature) Terry Pratchett quoted this. That’s good enough for me. 5 points to Hugh, plus a bonus!

Tim Key is just so adorable 🥰

I absolutely lose it thinking that 1) Dave thought to do that 2) Someone agreed to it 3) It was Ben Fogle

Tim and Romesh need a co-writing credit cause they made this show! Legends

I hope that's tongue in cheek about Tim!

Tim Key will always be my favourite contestant because he came into season one with such sheer arrogance

The early series of Taskmaster were so chaotic, I miss that energy. It's more polished and fancy now, but clever cheating has almost entirely been written out of the show. People love cheating!

Reads: “the pea must land on the carpet.” Thinks... “Well it doesn’t say the pea must land on the carpet.”

I miss the following cheats - Asking the production team to do a camera trickery instead of "camouflage yourself" - Winning the task "the largest thing disappears" with vanishing the smallest item - Making a match "hiss" while the task said "make the sauna stones hiss" - Stopping Alex's clock during a timed task - Picking up a red ball from the grass after the whistle And for Greg's sake, what is Hugh's solution doing here? Even in the Greek mythology Heracles (Hercules) survives the encounter with a gorgon by using a polished shield and not looking directly to it. (For the younger generation - Hermione with a mirror vs the Basilisk)

I 100% agree with you, but I laughed out loud when I read about Medusa and Basilisk. It sounded like the older generation remembered the Ancient Greece 😂

Was it really cheating if you still did dog sh*t? Asking for Hugh

You should retroactively add Matt Heath from the Taskmaster NZ series for his diabolical wheat biscuit cheating fiasco

I love the way Greg reacts whenever someone insults him 😂

I said it before, I repeat it again. Hugh didn't cheat.

Had no memory of Gorman being caught so many times. Serves him right for being a bit of a smartass :D

Tim trying to jump ahead of Greg so he could try to petition his way out of last place is PEAK cheater behavior

I like the ”do not take” note on the back of the mirror

Tim Key's reactions to the tasks are the best. His whole body laughs!

Gorman just putting a pea into the racket had me howling when i watched it for the first time

Greg: Dave, I'm gonna ask you a question. Hahaha love it 😀
