Alex eating that last spoonful...ew.

Morgana’s gonna win it all and I’m for it.

Paul WIlliams, the Taskmaster's assistant from the New Zealand show, is the guest on this week's edition of the Taskmaster UK podcast.

Will echo the doggy bag task being rough. Big fan of Morgana choosing option B, then just doing option A and torturing Alex with the results of option B though.

[Josh]

She’s a wicked genius.

Yeah, incredible work there. I also would have gone with option B, just because I would not have eaten anything. I think my instinct would have been to search the room to see if it was one of those trick ones where it was just written underneath the table or whatever, then I would have tried to get Alex to tell me what it was.

Alex should have removed the bags from the garbage. I can't blame Morgana for doing what she did but I think they messed up with her being able to do that. 

[Chris2K]

If it had been me I would have gone for B because my Taskmaster knowledge takes me back to "hot toothpaste pie" so I'd assume they were all horrible, even if they weren't all that bad. I do also think that Option B should have had a "no tasting" rule otherwise there was little point in having the options.

Really fun series so far though, and I'm so glad that Alan and VCM are one of the teams. I can't believe VCM is 49 though, she looks at least 10 years younger.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

I'm bored of them making the teams older people vs younger people.

[Chris2K]

From what they've said on the podcast the teams are usually based on how the contestants schedules match up for their availability, so it may end up as "old v young" more often because people of the same age have similar schedules.

Gotta catch those early bird dinner specials.

Good TM this week. I would have stripped that table to its constituent parts the moment i got in the room. I've seen that trick before.

[Josh]

I was almost amazed that only Morgana even tried to find a hidden clue.

and as Ed Gamble suggested on the podcast, that seemed more a case of her being the last one to film the task and Alex being too proud of the secret to let it go to waste, as he really pushed her toward it.

I had noticed the word "Troy" on the crow before Morgana's attempt, but never figured out what it meant.

[K]

Just gone past the Swedish taskmaster house

[Liam]

Desiree eating the sand was a top, top Taskmaster moment. So funny.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

We've just watched the first episode of series 7 and you can already tell it's setting up to be a classic. I've never seen Alex Horne giggling away so much.

[Josh]

Oh god, that’s a good one. Jessica Knappet is wonderful.

I love her anyway so have been looking forward to it because of her. One episode in and she's not disappointed.

[Kyle]

Remind me to never be involved in any sort of escape room with Guz Khan. After that riddle task, I don't think they'd be his forte.
