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.

The episode is just iconic as a whole, it also features the worst prize task attempts ever (prior to series 10 of course), Phil's unironic finest hour, Rhod spending more time arguing with Alex on whether his chair was a ladder or not than doing the task (and still coming first) and of course, the extension disaster

the "Don't Blink" task is one of my favorites of any season of this show. any time i rewatch it i always wonder: what order did the contestants film in? i like to imagine that Rhod was the last person to record the task and Alex got to watch him torturing himself for 7 minutes while knowing damn well none of the other contestants got past 77 seconds

For the “don’t blink” challenge, they should have winked both eyes intermittently, open and closed their eyes for long periods of time, or simply closed their eyes! 😂 I’m surprised no one thought of the alternatives! Blink: “verb 1. shut and open the eyes quickly.” “noun 1. an act of shutting and opening the eyes quickly.”

@burkeiowa Жыл бұрын

I prefer to keep the eyes closed, as was identified as a winning move. If not that, then to blink one eye at a time, which was hinted at, based on the behavior of another species. If not that, then what Rhod did is the opposite of what you want to do. People are surprised at how long I can go without blinking, without even really trying. But when I try, it's not timed, but I tend to do well with staring contests...ever since I figured out what works and what doesn't, where what Rhod did shouldn't work as well, even if he outlasted the rest.

@degiguess Жыл бұрын

Apart from the "closing your eyes isn't technically blinking" you could also beat this task by squinting your eyes then looking around. This ensures every part of your eye gets to spend time under your eyelid without closing your entire eye
