Oh, you're gonna love Nina just for the entertainment factor. She is absolutely adorable!

I came here to say exactly the same thing. Her childlike naivety, coupled with her misplaced confidence on certain tasks makes her so adorable. I need a Nina in my life, she makes me laugh so much!

@@rikmoran3963 that misplaced confidence was charming, endearing, and hysterical all at once. She's such a sweet girl to, her and Danielle. But Julia is riot. For some reason Nina reminds me of David Correos and Angella Dravid from Taskmaster NZ, like a cross between the two. Which doesn't really make much sense, but sort of does... 'nt.

@@Reece_Hart after introductions and the prize task - having not known a single one of them going in - I was rooting for Nina or Luke (Neil hit it on the head with saying Luke was gonna be entertaining because of his personality); after the first episode I was rooting for Danielle and Nina. But by episode 3 or 4, I was rooting for Julia more than anyone. Julia or Danielle. Or Nina, but that poor girl didn't stand a chance. As far as Jimmy, didn't really care for him... I don't know, I just didn't warm up to him AT ALL. He seemed really stiff,

Wonderful timing - just this past weekend, I shotgunned this entire season online with my friend from Perth. You're in for a good time, though the KZfaq transfer is sketchy at best. The extremely unofficial uploads included a lot of the hallmarks of that type of distribution, including network promos for the channel's digital player that are not edited out. You'll have an answer about how to refer to the two Toms reasonably by Episode 3. They come up with the solution the fanbase needs.

@MarkyDav Жыл бұрын

Correct: The studio segments were filmed in Australia. It is a lot cheaper to hire an NZ film-crew than an Australian one due to NZ's lack of unions for film (taken away as "The Hobbit Law"), not sure that was a core motivation or not to film the core tasks in NZ.

toms a pretty good pick as taskmaster as he has a set 'character' in aussie tv. his big gig other than taskmaster right now is Hard Quiz (which is basically just a pick your specialist subject plus a bit of chaos kinda quiz with a lot of the same comedy shown here plus some takes at the abc and other aussie presenters)

@xCPTxNEMO Жыл бұрын

I enjoyed this version of Taskmaster, it was a great season (I wish it was longer). The two Toms certainly understood the brief of show. And the production crew did a great job of casting this season, they all work so well together. I look forward to seeing the rest of your vids on this.

@FLQueerLiberal1982 Жыл бұрын

This might be my favorite version, there's just something about Tom as Taskmaster. He's more brutal than Greg, and not useless like the prat on NZ. And I just love how they share the NZ Taskmaster residence. Edit: now that I think about it, I can't believe they didn't get Kitty as Taskmaster. Other than Jim Jeffries, Adam Hills, Tim Minchin, and the flamboyant gay guy Rhys Nicholson, Kitty is really the only Australian I was familiar with until now.

Tom Gleeson host Hard Quiz where he does a lot of banter with the contestants. If you check out an episode or just some highlights you're get a good idea what to expect from him being the TM. It's basically what got him the role. He once started a campaigned for a TV presenter to win a prestigious Australian TV award that he had no right winning and pulled it off. One of the biggest trolls in Australian media

Excited for this series, very fun season, one of the most chaotic casts I've seen, don't quite fit my usual archetypes, you don't really have any highly competitive Ed gamble types, or straightforward but competent keri's, instead you get 5 very different but equally chaotic competitors that when channeled the right way are brilliant, but just as often go wildly in the complete wrong direction Danielle and Nina really stood out to me, but all 5 were very entertaining Enjoy both Tom's, Cashman especially really grew on me. Paul is still by far my favorite Alex, but Tom was still great (I may admitidly be biased, have a huge crush on Paul and developed a smaller one on Tom as well). Tom Gleeson while still probably the weak link for me, is much stronger than Jeremy, especially for his first season.

The Australian constitution allows for NZ to join as the 8th Australian state any time they want to. They aren’t ever going to want to, but AUS and NZ share a special relationship all the same, with pretty much open borders, and reciprocal -almost citizenship- rights to government services when in each other’s nation. Very similar to the Schengen arrangement in the EU. The Aussie and NZ film and music industries have long been intertwined. NZ definitely has it’s very own culture unique from Australia, but practical geographic reasons and similar-era colonial beginnings, plus the reciprocal travel and living rights lets creative artists of all types move and work easily in both nations. Australians regularly steal world famous New Zealanders if they spent time working in Australia. For example we claim Russel Crow, Sam Neil and the Finn brothers are Aussies among many more.

It kind of felt to me like the audience wasn’t actually there, and had been added later, like with the Covid episodes of the UK series… maybe they were at the recording, but something about the sound of them sounded off to me. Also, I much prefer being able to see the audience in some of the shots, which makes it all feel a bit more intimate. But generally I liked the vibe of it, and will probably watch the rest of the series!

The Greg here is far better than the NZ Greg, but of course no actual Greg. The Alex is a hair below the NZ Alex (who most of us acknowledge is about 90% of actual Alex). The cast is decent. They're like a middle tier cast on the other shows--no true standouts but also no bombs (they're all at least likeable). The tasks are okay, at least to the point I've seen, although not brilliant.
