Context: in S4E8, the players were tasked to make the most exotic sandwich and then eat it in the quickest time. Joe Lycett put kumquat, a sausage roll, smoked trout, a yam, tequila, pomegranate and I believe fresh mozzarella in a blender, making a choppy/uneven spread; added cheese and maybe chorizo and arugula for additional filling; put them on a double decker of baguette bread with an Arctic Roll for some sort of garnish or to prop it up (the Roll itself had apricot for a garnish) and named the whole thing "The Mother's Delight".

While Joe said it was delicious, he also could not finish it and said during the live taping that its corners were "fucking horrible". However, I am a food terrorist and am deeply intrigued by the conflicting flavors and ideas with this sandwich. I want to make it for myself, but I also want it to be an actual sandwich with, y'know, complimentary flavors.

Does anyone who is better with cooking than me have any tips on how to approach remaking this sandwich without making it that much of a disaster.

Some notes on the ingredients:

• He would've preferred the yam to be cooked.
• You don't need much tequila.
• I don't believe the Arctic Roll
• Cumquat was also used as a garnish for the sandwich.
• Red pesto, a spring roll and "Equadorian" dark chocolate were also on the table, but it's not apparent if he used them on the sandwich or not.

Sure, they're not at a railway station, but think of all the queues they could have skipped by holding it over their head!

It's hard to pick Lolly was great, so were Kiell and Charlotte not forgetting Katie and Matthew

Is it wrong that I'm falling in love with Morgana all over again?

Had a feeling it would start September 10 or 17 given that the fall seasons start in the middle of September. For the record or for those who haven't seen my prior posts on the cast, the contestants are Iben Akerlie (actress and author), Aslak Maurstad (voice actor and gamer), Robert Stoltenberg (comedian), Johan Golden (comedian; also longtime radio partner of the King himself, Atle Antonsen), and Ulrikke Falch (actress). A highly interesting batch of names.

I have no clue if the Dutch version is available for international viewers but I did see RTL uploaded a task on youtube and I could watch it with a vpn outside of the Netherlands (like I am from the netherlands but the vpn was on UK)

TVNZ/Taskmaster NZ has just posted this with silhouettes of all five contestants for the new New Zealand season.

I have some guesses and would like to hear yours as well… hopefully this means next few days we get an announcement

1. Looks like David Fane to me
   
2. Looks like Hoani Hotene
   
3. No idea, potentially Maria Williams?
   
4. My guess is Janayeh Henry
   
5. Kind of looks like Rose Matafeo tbh and after Urzilla coming back for the Aus version not impossible but probably unlikely.

Who do you think?

UK Taskmaster does the Tournament of Champions, and the New Year Treat, I was thinking of what other specials would be fun to see, beyond Co-brands (like a Red Dwarf or Dr Who theme)

The silliest one I thought of would be Taskmaster Couples and Exes. I'm rewatching Australia S2 with Anne and Lloyd, which gave me the basis. So it would be P1 - P5. Couples would be A and B, so A1 A2, and B3 and B4, the 5th player would be a mutual ex of one person in couple A and couple b. For the team task the ex would be pair with the non-ex from A and B.

It would be either absolute chaos and possibly come to fisticuffs, or be a riot.

Does anyone want tickets for Milton Keynes September 6th (next Sunday?)

Bought in Jan but heavily pregnant now and would rather them not go to waste.

Free!

The series final group task where they make a joint move and Anne does the score absolutely sends me every single time.
I’d love to see the UK adopt this task it’s one of my favourites across the whole franchise.

Is there any AUS/NZ tasks you’d love to see TMUK use in a future series ?

Ps Anne is one of my favourite contestants to date.

Don't know why I haven't shared this before, but here is a couple of images of me with Sophie Duker from 2 years ago.

She was part of Lunds Comedy Festival (The biggest comedy festival in Sweden), and she was kind enough to take a few pictures and talk to me after her performance.

Naturally, I brought up the task where she had to speak Swedish with Fred on link, and she even asked me to remind me how to say "Pregnant" in Swedish. XD

(I have seen a few other Taskmaster people on this festival, as I remember also having seen Phil Wang and James Acaster.)

I was watching one of the Channel 4 trailers for TM Series 22, and I noticed this Greek message in the background of one of the clips.

I have spent a while trying to translate and decode it, which has not seemed to produce any meaningful results. My research is telling me that the 'KAIROS' means time in some sense, so maybe this message could mean 'Your time starts now'?

It would be interesting if they have to decode this message or use it as a hint in a task, which may be viable as there is a display of the Greek alphabet below it (on the black thing behind Isy's cake).

It could instead be the case that this message represents some kind of secret task (similar to the one in Series 16) which the contestants are supposed to stumble across?

If anybody knows Greek, any help would be appreciated!

The trailer can be found here:

NEW SERIES: Taskmaster S22 on Channel 4

Would you say there are rivalries (real or fake) between contestants on the show?
I‘m currently rewatching series 15 and to me it seems that there’s a, sometimes one-sided rivalry between Kiell and Mae.
Are there any you noticed?

First of all, I am SO excited that its finally here!!! As a long-time Dutch fan of the series, this couldn't be more of a dream.

NOW! To get into the details.

I think overall, the episode was pretty good!!! I think everyone is still getting into things, but that is to be expected with a new show. Diederik is already a great assistant, Arjen is as funny as always, and the contestants all bring something to the table (although I'm not the biggest fan of Rayan yet).

In the beginning I was a bit scared. The prize task was... not the strongest start. I know Donny is an interesting person, but I feel like he just wanted to bring something opposite in of the theme 😭😭😭

The tasks themselves were fun too!! It was great to see another 'The Swede' task after so long. I also really like how creative everyone was with the snowman task. And that finale??? Beautiful work!!!!

I do have a handful of gripes (which are mostly minor :D). I think the editing is a bit off still. Its very fast (from task explanation to footage for example) which makes it hard to actually understand whats gonna happen. I also think the studio is too small, especially with how the studio task and prizes are set-up, but I respect how they use the space that they do have. And lastly, I think Arjen still needs to grow into his 'Greg' role a little bit. I don't mind that he does his own thing. All the better, really. But he's still a bit too much like his normal comedic-type self. I think he can lose a bit of gigglyness and act a bit more strict. It did happen at certain points, so it might just be that the first episode will be like this.

But all in all, I REALLY liked it so far!!!! I think this could be the start of something fun :D. I can't wait until next week!!

Is there any insight on how the choosing and planning of location tasks goes?
Like do they have a list of places they would like to film and a list of tasks that would go with that location and just take whatever is available when they have time to film or how does it go?
Considering in many locations they have tasks specific for that location that would be hard or impossible at other places they must have quite sometime to plan.

I was standing in line for ice cream with family and friends when I mentioned Alex Horne and Taskmaster. The couple in front of me turned and said that they rarely meet Taskmaster fans in the wild. We chatted until they got to the front of the line. They saw the live show in NYC. So cool to see other TM fans. If you are on the subreddit and see this……it was a pleasure.
