Taskmaster 10x5 REACTION - Get some Melon your mouth, Herring! 

Imagine your excuse for being late to work was because Johnny Vegas pulled you into the Taskmaster house to put you through a tree-bagging machine.

"I've just suddenly had a moment of wondering what I was doing." Haven't we all? lol

Alex in the states task reminds me of a history teacher I had in early secondary. We were forced to memorize all the countries and capitals in Euprope, Asia, and Africa. On the Africa one, I scored horribly. Handed in my paper first with at least half of the answers missing. Teacher pointed to one in particular and said "Are you sure you're not **gonna** remember?" I looked at him totally absently and told him that I was sure. He asked again if he didn't think I was **gonna** remember it. I still failed the exam, but I got one extra point for finally realizing that the particular country he was pointing at was Ghana. lol

On the TM podcast Richard explained the watermelon task was filmed about 2 days before the Covid lockdowns and oddly half the crew were ill the next day 🤔

Silvanian Familes was a toy line from the 1970s/80s. They were woodland creatures that wore clothes and you could buy houses for them to live in. TBH some of them used to freak me out because they were a bit too lifelike, especially the mice characters.

Fun fact about Johnny, he studied ceramics at art school and has appeared as a pottery demonstrator on the Great British Pottery Show.

I'd be bringing in a full sword for the pointy prize task. Can you imagine swinging around a sword on the stage after winning?

"I want Daddy's watermelon." Teammates collapse with laughter.

Something pointy that would save lives like Johnny claimed? I'd go with an epipen.

Other than turning Indiana into Indianapolis, that was pretty spot on.

5 points for naming the states so quickly. Loved the basketball system

I felt so bad for Daisy during the watermelon task tbh, I've never been pregnant (and never plan to be) but I can imagine that being even more not fun for a pregnant woman

I actually like Daisy's prize tasks - her just bringing something basic in from home reminds me of the early seasons so much

My thoughts on the contestants at this point when I watched the series were something like: Mawaan: really fun, love his energy. great at in-studio banter Daisy: either half-asleep or going absolutely apeshit, which is incredible Katherine: incredibly bad but in a very fun way Richard: also here Johnny: about 2 seconds away from a mental breakdown at all points (Okay, that’s a bit unfair to Richard. I do like him a lot outside of the show but he’s just kinda boring on it to me unfortunately)

Yeah you can feel the COVID weirdness with series 10. Series 11 and 12 were also filmed during COVID but you can tell they settled into it a lot more as time goes by.

"The worst thing I've seen on television" is one of the Top 5 moments (of the whole show) for me, and why I cannot allow S10 slander. That and Johnny Vegas, in general. He has too many standout moments of his own.

The teapot one is one of my favorites of all time. Just loved seeing the English guys struggle with American stuff, much like the Abraham Lincoln task in Taskmaster New Zealand. I’m proud of you for listing the state I was born in (California), the state I was raised in that I still consider home (Tennessee), and the state where I currently live (Alabama). I was disappointed that no one mentioned Tennessee; Alex didn’t even give it a pun, and he very well could’ve (“I’m planning on going to Wimbledon this summer. Then I’ll tennis-see!”). By the way, you were only wrong about Indianapolis; that’s the capital of Indiana. And if I were doing this task, I would’ve said, “Will the turntable stop altogether if I name all fifty? What if I list them in alphabetical order? Because I can!”

You got any more of those The Boys video, sir?

I agree with the asessment of Richard being very predictable but I think every series kind of profits from having one contestant that's just very "straight down the line" to highlight the crazyness of others 😉😉

Indiana not Indianapolis, the former is a State. You did better than I did and I live in the States. Now all I can see is a wounded Frog.

oh, god Daisy annoys me.
