She was terrible at it.  Which is always funny. Worst contestant for me was Dara O’Briain as he took it much too seriously
Liza Tarbuck was the opposite. Didn't really care for it on occasions and still won ;D

Going to start season 7 with James Acaster who is hilarious.

See also Richard Herring.

Worst contestant for me by far was Iain Stirling. Very annoying.

I don't think Dara took it that seriously, he's just a very intelligent man.

To be fair to him I think he admitted to hating watching himself back!

Yeah Richard Herring was way worse than Dara for that, but I agree with the general point the winners tend to be the unfunniest.

Yes, I'd say so. All five were great. James Acaster being the best of them all I reckon.

Acaster is hilarious. Godliman the best champion.

Rewatching series 13, Judi might be my favourite ever contestant. Trying, failing and bullshitting is infinitely better than being shit on purpose or just not bothering.

The shoes in the church was a personal favourite from S13. Judi was great in that too.

Really looking forward to the new season starting this week, great way to kick off a long weekend.

Genuinely heartbreaking how close Judi came to winning a couple of episodes, before losing her head in the stage task

Always strange what people outside the UK thinks about Taskmaster but it seems to have an American audience.

Enjoyed that as always. I thought Sophie was going to be my favourite before it began and I loved her, made me laugh.

Got tickets yesterday to see Greg’s new stand up tour at the Empire in January. Buzzing for it.

Saw his second tour something like 10/11 years ago in Birmingham and was quality.

“I’m going to start flying, John” :lmao

She’s been great value so far.

Steve Pemberton is far too competent to be entertaining.

I knew he was going to be in this series after something that happened last September…
Spoiler
He had a cryptic crossword published in the Guardian which contained a hidden message for Greg - intrigued to see what task that relates to.
