Taskmaster

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

That was a tremendous first episode.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Yeah Wozniak is gonna be a strong contender.

[Cymbols]

Good first episode that

[Owen]

Wozniak was very solid. Did feel a hint of pro-Mike bias from Greg but maybe I was reading into it too much and he was just that good! 

I also noticed after the plates task that Mike was given 4 points and Sarah 3, despite Alex announcing the other way round. Didn't affect the results of the show at all, though, so ah well.

[Charlie Tango]

Mike Wozniak is going to be the standout of this series, thought he was excellent and I've never seen anything of him before to my knowledge. Everybody had their moments, apart from Sarah Kendall, I thought. Can't warm up to her. Can see Jamali becoming a favourite as the series goes on. Really good start.

[Josh]

This is a really good group. Different dynamic from last go round. Less punchy laughter, more fun arguing over points. And yeah, Mike is already my favorite. He cinched that in the prize task. My wife says he reminds her a bit of Tim Vine.

Just finished it. This was so much fun. For anyone who loves the UK version, most definitely check it out. Plus it proves you don't really need to know the contestants before they go on the show, because I would've been buggered for UK season 11. I hope they renew NZ for at least another series or two - I could get used to there always being a Taskmaster series on the go.

Renewed for a second series if this link is to be believed. 👍

If you don't think Mike is winning this whole thing I don't know what show you're watching, the man is an icon.

[Skummy]

two episodes in and I think Mike Wozniak might already be my all-time favourite contestant. 

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

He is absolutely incredible.

I’m just so happy that Mike had an absolutely lovely day.

I came in here with the intention of saying the exact same thing!

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

3 DQs for one person in an episode is surely a record?

[Azazel]

He may have gotten DQed 3 times, but that sick squid joke was brilliant.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Lee only had 2, Mike got DQ'd for the bottle task as well.

And that joke the exact reaction it deserved.

[Chris2K]

I've no idea how they do it, but once again the studio task game proves to be an unmissable contest of tension and intrigue.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

I'm genuinely impressed at Jamali's thinking in that captain's hat task. I'd have done the exact same as everyone else.

It was so good. The combination of Lee Mack becoming increasingly competitive as the series goes on, and Mike Wozniak's mad crab movements was superb.

The "organise objects with your face" task was almost too much for me, I found it genuinely hard to watch. Thankfully Mike made up for it by smelling some brie and saying, "if it's wedge time, that's three sides". His repeated use of "it's X time" is wonderful, as is Greg finding him obviously delightful all the time. 

I had said early on that Mike was going to win, but I'll settle for him losing spectacularly.

My girlfriend straight away asked why the others weren't wrapping up each leg individually. It never would have occurred to me to do that. 

[Josh]

As soon as I realized everyone was wrapping both legs together, I exclaimed, “Have none of you seen this show?”

Also, Mike losing it over Greg’s description of Sarah’s bee was the most wonderful thing.

[Charlie Tango]

Did anybody else notice the points for Sarah (I think that's her name) being neutered somewhat with the prize task? Her guitar was the best prize of the bunch but picked up just a couple of points. Greg going a bit early this time to pull everybody together in the season standings.
