Yeah, I honestly can't tell if Jeremy Wells is enjoying himself or despises the job. I enjoy a dry sense of humor, but he goes so much further than that; He's just totally blank faced and ridiculously monotone most of the time, and I can probably count on my fingers the amount of times I've seen him even crack a smile in the 5 seasons I've watched so far. Like Ben Hurley said near the end of S5, "would we even be able to tell if he was [replaced by a cyborg]?" and I don't think we actually would be able to because of how robotic he already acts.

I can't remember which episode but in S6 there's a live task where the contestants have to emote and Jeremy has to guess which emotions are on display. He's terrible at it and it's not very fun to watch, and at the end one of the contestants says something to the effect of "it's not surprising Jeremy can't recognize emotion", and I remember thinking he didn't look particularly amused by it.

The twin task was the best task concept I’ve seen in a while. I absolutely loved it! My husband cracked the code before I did though. I was thinking it was going to be something like the person always tells the truth to one and always lies to the other (like that standard riddle setup) or something similar.
I also liked that the teams being 2 and 3 people changed up how each experienced it. Each person in the team of 2 was seeing the same twin each time, while each person in the team of 3 was alternating twins each time.
Spoiler Yeah, that twin task was brilliant, and the editing for it was absolutely perfect too. Like you, I also originally thought it might be the person telling the truth to one contestant, lying...

Yeah, that twin task was brilliant, and the editing for it was absolutely perfect too. Like you, I also originally thought it might be the person telling the truth to one contestant, lying to the other, or something along that line. I didn't understand what was really going on until Maisie figured it out though, so I was way behind, and might never have figured it, TBH. The "clues" wouldn't have done me any good either since I had no idea who the Thompson twins were until I looked them up after watching the task, and the snooker cue would have totally thrown me off too. And speaking of which, hilariously enough, Ania mentioned in an Instagram story that it had the same effect on her team, but they found out afterwards it was an accident it was in the room, and it wasn't actually a clue at all. :P

Greg seems to actually enjoy himself as the Taskmaster, it's a refreshing change from watching a lot of NZ lately.

Maisie's reaction during the prize task wonderful.
Her husband's reaction was great too. :P
