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.

Not to mention it was likely one of the first tasks they shot, so I get the impression Joe thought he nailed that and was satisfied with his one victory so didn't really care about doing a good job in most of the other tasks (nursery rhyme and egg come to mind)

I just can't imagine what was going on in his head at that moment. Sitting there all smug about himself thinking he absolutely nailed that one. Then watching all the other attempts with nobody even close to what he achieved. Finally it is time, his glorious hole in one is on the big screen, the moment he's been waiting for. All eyes on him as the audience cheered for his magnificence... and then the replay zooms in on his shoe.

My analysis of Joe's attempt: If you looks at the side profiling of his shoes worn in the attempt, you will notice the soles taper upwards towards the uppers at the toes of the shoes. As we all know Joe steps mostly on his heels which allows the toes of the shoes to actually ascend off of the ground leaving an open gap at the very end. In the footage of Joe's attempt on the controversial step, you can see a very slight shadow at the tip of the show under the toe leading me to conclude the following: As a representative for the Wilkinson vs. Potato court case, the jury demands a bonus 5 points in the inevitable "Battle of the Joes" episode starring Joe Wilkinson, Joe Lycett, Jo Brand, the movie JoJo Rabbit and current president of the United States, Joe Biden. You may be thinking the five points is a lot as a bonus, but most have speculated that it won't change much. Still, it will settle our hearts.

That candle task could have been interpreted the same way Richard Osman did the "exercise balls on the mat" - someone could have just brought the candle from the caravan to the lab and then lit it.

No, it said "this flame." They knew what they were doing. Did you not watch the video?

@@caitthecat I think you missed what I meant there. Someone could just have gone and got the candle from the caravan, and lit it with the one that Alex had lit.

Joe's Potato throw: analyzing the moment of cup entry, if 2-6 centimeters were to be subtracted from his parabola, it still would have gone in. Great throw, you win, nuff said.
