In this Broadcast Award-winning, BAFTA and Emmy Award-nominated entertainment show, Taskmaster tyrant Greg Davies (Man Down, Cuckoo), with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne (The Horne Section and the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians.
Comedians that have risked life, limb, and dignity in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud so far include: Frank Skinner (The Frank Skinner Show), Mel Giedroyc (The Great British Bake Off), Romesh Ranganathan (Asian Provocateur), Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Rose Matafeo (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2018), and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour). Unaware of what awaits them in each wax-sealed envelope, only one competitor can become the victorious owner of His Royal Task-ness’ golden head and be crowned the next Taskmaster Champion.

@@FabiAraujok It seems obvious enough (insofar as Rhod's unique blend of madness can be called obvious), but if you really want an explanation: The task was for the contestants to tie themselves up, judged by the time it would take Alex to untie the contestant. (With the logic behind it that the more ropes&knots you use, the longer it takes for Alex to undo all of them.) Rhod's genius solution was to just ignore the 'tie yourself' part (aka the intended task), and instead simply made sure that Alex wouldn't be able to untie anything.

“The task is complete when all three balls sit inflated, and stationary, on the yoga mat.” Nothing about being on top of the hill to win. Good on him.

They edited it and accidentally cut off the “The task is complete when all three balls sit inflated, and stationary, on the yoga mat on top of the hill.” They say the exact phrasing at 17:51. The solution is still technically correct if u consider that the phrase "yoga mat on top of the hill" is only to point out the location of the yoga mat instead of the destination of the task.
