It's the sort of task whereby after the VT Greg would do a mocking impression of Alex giggling at the deviousness stemming from the discrepancy in the information available to the contestants and to the Taskmaster's assistant.
Ironically, playing with the fidget toys would have most likely focused your attention forwards, and discouraged you from turning around, so playing with the toys was the optimal strategy
You are literally the only reason because of whom I got recommended so many shorts of Taskmaster AU and eventually I watched the second season and season 9 of Taskmaster UK. While they are quite funny you are still the funniest out of all of them.
This short, is brilliant. You're interested in the premise, but then the arc around the jacket, makes you know the wit of the people involved. Freaking telling a story, in this bit of time, but not using much of the base material. Efficient as all get out. Then it starts and you go "nice jacket". Reused the start to frame the finish and land an even harder line. Brilliant.
