13 күн бұрынA stunning series from John Robins saw him defeat Joanne McNally, Nick Mohammed, Sophie Willan and Steve Pemberton. With Greg Davies reluctantly rewarded him the most points ever for a Taskmaster contestant. Let's see how he did it!

Definitely one of the best series. Steve Pemberton’s surrealism, John’s quiet wit and sharp mind (plus his devotion to Queen). Nick’s sweetness and magic, Sophie’s endearing ineptitude that ultimately triumphed, and Joanne’s Rhod Gilbertesque attitude. My favourite contestant varied with each episode.

@@ObscureReference9 I feel like the point of the show is just to put comedians in entertaining situations, regardless of whether they're trying to win or not. I found John Robins to be pretty entertaining and, personally, I like when there are at least 1 or 2 people actively trying to do well as it highlights the other people who are either just trying to get through the tasks or are totally lost.

@@ObscureReference9 so you decided that you speak for "most" and your opinion is theirs? Is there a poll or study or is it just based on your arrogance? For a start, it's pretty clear that you need both kinds of contestants. All John's or all Nicks would be very boring. Beside all that, Nick was likable, but rarely funny. John had FAR more laughs in the Studio from audience, Greg and the others, which proves you just wrong (laughing=enjoyment). Sophie was by far the funnier of the two low scoring people. She had this chaotic and creative energy in tasks, while Nick was just ...bad at them. Laughing AT Nick but WITH Sophie. And occasionally about John.

Scrolling through the comments... why are so many people so genuinely angry at a silly TV show they don't have to watch (especially not again in this clip show if you didn't like the show in full)? The most baffeling thing is it seems people are angry at completely different contestants and parts of the show. So it's not even joining a hateful internet mob. It's people coming to a clip video of a silly panel show just to be angry. Why? 😅😅

Well John is both a huge fan of the show & close friends with Alex so he got the gist of the tasks more often than not taking a lot of the "look at the silly comedian doing silly things" out of it that we got expertly from others. It's not a negative in any way, it just formed this narrative of him just being there to do well.

Ehh, I have to admit, I never finished watching this season. I just noticed that I didn't really care anymore.. none of the contestants did it for me and I could barely remember their names even. I liked Nick though, but he was just overwhelmingly nice and even that got on my nerves (I dislike this whole trend where everything needs to be 'wholesome'.. I miss a bit of edginess). But to be honest, I think I've just kind of had too much TM, I feel it would be better if there was 1 season each year, it seems like a never ending train now and I feel things are getting a bit stale for my liking.

I actually didn't find John Robbins particularly entertaining. He seemed super keen to just win every task, with little thought to making it entertaining. I think of Ed Gamble, for example, who was also super competitive, and obviously really wanted to win, but it seemed like he put consideration into striking a balance between entertainment and competitiveness, and if an idea was dull, he'd scrap it. John didn't seem to have that consideration, and therefore was a comparatively dull and forgettable contestant. Put it this way - despite easily winning the series, he was the least-good cast member.
