I won’t accept any other explanations.

Recently rewatched series 15. The reaction of sheer joy to the potatoe hat task by Jenny Eclair, got me trying to think if there has been a contestant who enjoyed a single task more than her.

Off the top of my head the only one i think comes close is Liza Tarbuck making Alex sit on a cake.

Interested to see what other people think, especially if I've missed anything glaringly obvious.

Also love to know if there a single task that if you were taking part in, would bring you sheer joy. For me it would be the t shirt cannon task.

I went today with my kids to the Taskmaster for Kids show. I have to say it was very funny. Phil does an excellent job (as does Mr B). The way they pick they kids means that everyone gets to play and if your kids don’t want to participate, they don’t have to. It ran a bit over, but all in all, I thought it was very good! Can recommend. Any questions let me know.

What are all the times Alex got up on stage when the winners collect their prizes?
In S7E6 he eats Jessica‘s key lime pie
And S20E6 he wears the lady Di dress and the cap.
Are there any other times he was on stage?

So Taskmaster International put the first episode of Portugal's Taskmaster up and I was delighted to see it start with several favorites:

Knock the Ducks Off the Walls

Get the Ping Pong Ball Out of the Pipe

Walk and Retrace Your Steps (Bread Crumbs)

Score a Basketball Without Your Hands - the basketball hoop is in a pool too just to be mean 😄

Make a Scale Weigh Exactly X Pounds

(By the way, should the Other Versions flair now be Taskmaster International?)

But as much as I enjoyed the tasks- the duck on the walls one has claimed the sanity of a another contestant and seems alarmingly good at it- I found myself yet again flabbergasted that nobody did the bread crumb task in the easiest fashion.

The only point of bread crumbs is to give you a visual trail of where you have been. While some contestants grasp this and use it- I have not once in any version I've watched seen someone throw down a jacket or ask the assistant to do so.

What can be the reason? Is it the same in other countries too? Last year I could order the Christmas crackers pack to Hungary with no problem, but this year when I set the country to Hungary, some items in the webshop disappear... :/

Looking for a clip I saw in an out of context TM video where a line of objects simply blew away in the wind in front of a still camera (so no cutting or funny angles as far as I recall). I also think it said "Mel" at the bottom of the screen but I'm not sure.

As of writing this, I'm finishing up series 4 of TM UK and have watched all of the UK series, all CoCs and NYTs, as well as TM NZ series 1 & 2. Because of the Mel thing, I assumed I would encounter this clip in UK series 4, but it doesn't seem to be from here.

Any idea where that clip is from, or if I'm just misremembering?

Edit: I also don't remember exactly where I saw the clip, so I can't find it in isolation either. Might do a deep search later but rn Reddit is my only hope

Chloe and Greg discussed Nina's televisual torso extensively.

Also, how can I get Doctor Cigarettes flair?
