    Offtopic, but going forwards, would people prefer I post the first episode like this, and then subsequent episodes in a new comment in this topic, like we do for Jet Lag? Or would everyone prefer that I continue waiting for whole seasons to complete and then post the playlist for it like I did for Taskmaster NZ?

      If I watch this episode, The Algorithm is likely to recommend episode 2 to me with or without me checking this thread.

        Makes sense. After Taskmaster Australia S1 wraps up and I post the full playlist for it, I will start posting the first episode of each series after that, and subsequent episodes as comments in that first episode topic so people can still discuss every individual episode under those comments if they want to. Unless someone has a compelling reason for me not to do that.

      I’m in favour of posting first episode as well. Not that I personally needed you to — it popped on my feed just fine anyway, ha! Brilliant episode, excited for this new season.

    Not sure if it's in the episode, but I just saw a clip where the fact that Alex is more of a producer being bullied on camera and is actually managing the large screen with the iPad was a revelation to the contestants (and me) and that Greg only learned of it last series.

      The two of them seem like a fun pair. They where on Seth Myers last week to talk about the new season and discuss some other behind the scenes bits. https://youtu.be/EsJTS8KldvE?si=K_8U093JzbYifL13

        That was a fun interview. I'm glad to hear that they're getting recognized in public even in the US now. Well deserved for them.

      I thoroughly enjoyed the connect the dots task. I would love to just mess around with making my own and seeing the outcome!

        They're mostly meant to serve as a notification/reminder that a new episode is out, for anyone who does care about the show. The alternative is to post it all as a full season playlist at the end of the season, which is what I originally did for Taskmaster NZ and AUS, but most people seemed to dislike that and prefer this. And I feel like it's way too many episodes between the three versions of the shows to post each individual episode as a totally new topic.

        That’s one of those tasks that isn’t that funny, but is genuinely impressive, I loved it! I’m 10000% surprised that Sophie is actually competent at something.

    Really enjoyed the first episode - this lineup seems pretty fun. Steve Pemberton is so quick! His task with the egg was really clever.
