"Count every grain of rice."

Taskmaster should sell Mark Watson's Book of Cheeky Text Messages

Watching these, I think there's a noticeable difference between the episodes that took place in front of a n audience, and those that didn't. When there's no audience, the cast is more subdued, and they don't know when a joke lands. Unfortunately, those pandemic episodes are just missing a certain energy that the other seasons had.

I mean the text challenge should've only taken a few hours since you can preprogrammed texts to be sent out.
