Good evening. My name is Louis Morissette,
and I am the Taskmaster.
Over the past few weeks,
I have devised a series of tasks
for five beloved comedians to complete.
Together, we'll discover what they did,
and how they did it.
Yuck!
As the Taskmaster, I'll hand out points to the most deserving contestants,
based on highly subjective and ambiguous criteria.
The winner of the season will take home
the greatest prize in television history:
a replica of my head... in gold!
[Episode title: "The Traitor"]
Yes! Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose,
but they're always entertaining.
Our five contestants tonight are:
Kevin Raphael!
Tammy Verge!
Phil Roy!
Marie-Lyne Joncas!
And Mona de Grenoble!
There are people in my life
without whom I could not live:
my wife, my kids,
and my assistant: Antoine Vézina.
That's so sweet!
And Louis, I'll say, you're in my top...
30!
You're in my top 30.
And he has very few friends. I can confirm that.
He has two friends, Antoine.
He has two friends, and I'm in the top 30?
Top 30 what? He didn't say.
No, no, you're in my top 30.
Stop it! You're not happy with that? - No.
Okay, top 28, then!
He just moved up two rungs!
The noose is tightening.
He's lucky.
Tonight, as always, there are prizes to be won.
That's what they'll be playing for tonight,
and our contestants have been tasked to bring in...
the theme for tonight:
the thing that will change your life!
Yes. Yes, yes.
Have they succeeded? Let's see.
Tammy? - Yes.
What did you bring us?
I brought in our famous oven gloves.
They're not oven mitts; they're oven gloves.
My mother got these for us and,
ever since then, we've always wanted to cook
and bake things in the oven, Antoine, eh?
It's ingenious!
You can feel each of your fingers.
You have more dexterity.
You feel cool, chic.
You don't wanna take them off. - Oh, absolutely!
They're pretty!
That changed your life?
Yes. Honestly; yes. Yes.
That's 5 points in the bank!
Marie-Lyne!
Yes!
It's Harry Styles!
That's the thing that'll change my life, probably.
Well, your life too, you know; if ever I marry Harry Styles.
That's pretty cool. We'll have someone...
Of course! That'll be a great story for "7 Jours". [Quebec arts & culture magazine]
No but wait, you know,
I mean... Really, I'd let him live his life.
You know, I don't wanna be...
I didn't buy a plane ticket to Germany just to go see him.
You know, I didn't go to his home in Beverly Hills
just to see him, or maybe cross paths with him...
You know; I'm pretty relaxed about it. I'm chill.
And I didn't pay 30 bucks a month to ChatGPT
to make a bunch of photos of us making love.
There's a video of Harry and me making love,
that I made with ChatGPT.
Oh my god! - You're terrifying.
You can do that?
He's really very good.
Okay.
That moment was full of sadness.
Mona de Grenoble.
Yes, well...
It's Louis Morissette's cell phone charger,
because, Louis, I don't know if you know this, but you're my lucky charm.
I started doing comedy on "Next Stand-Up", [comedy show co-hosted by Louis and Marie-Lyne]
and in the loge, I stole his charger,
and since then, everything has been going well for me.
So, since we've started Taskmaster,
at each taping, I've stolen something from you.
I don't know if you've noticed.
A mug, some boxers, 50 bucks.
Next step: I'm stealing your chick!
Perfect! Okay, next.
The thing that'll change your life, according to Kev.
Yeah!
Pikliz, yes! [Haitian pickled vegetable relish]
Pikliz, pikliz.
You guys are saying, "Kev..." - That's good.
"...that's coleslaw".
No, no, no.
On the Scoville scale, this is 100%, okay?
This pikliz is the spiciest thing you'll ever eat in your life.
You smell it, and your nostrils explode.
It's the most beautiful thing invented,
by the most beautiful country: Haiti!
Yes! Yes!
Port-au-Prince! [capital of Haiti]
The beauty of it is that Kevin gave me some earlier.
You can steal it from me.
That bodes well for the points.
Let's see Phil's, finally!
That's a no!
[on episode 2] Let's have a look at what Phil brought in for tonight's prize task.
[on episode 3] So, let's have a look at Phil's item.
Well, you know!
Marie-Lyne didn't want the picture!
That is pure laziness.
That's laziness.
You're not even trying. - At some point, the callbacks...
That's life-changing, seeing a Mexican Santa Claus.
Shut up. Shut up, you're done.
You're done.
There's a fine line between a call-back and laziness.
And you have moved into laziness territory.
So, what's your assessment, Taskmaster?
The points.
Well, look at the joy in that beautiful face, there.
I'm telling you! I'm telling you!
It's life like this, versus life like this.
Look at this!
It's life spread out, man!
For the happy housewife, 5 points.
Imagine how happy I'd be if I had 4 points.
Because I wish you love: 4 points.
3 points to Kevin.
2 points to Mona the thief,
and 1 point for Phil.
I get it, I get it, I get it. I get it.
You'll come back from that.
And that's coming from me!
We have a really, really, really, really, really big show tonight.
Let's get into our first task right away.
It's a task our contestants have likely erased from their memories.
I just had the most incredible nap.
It's so nice in there.
It's a castle.
Hey!
Alright, let's go. I'm pumped up.
Ah, an eraser. Shit.
A chair, finally.
Coffee? Tea?
Ah!
Mmm, this smells good.
I hope it's not what I'm thinking it is.
I don't know what you're thinking.
You're not going to ask me to erase the eraser until there's nothing left?
An eraser...
Mysterious.
"Completely erase this eraser."
"Fastest wins."
"Completely erase this eraser."
"Fastest wins."
"Your time... starts..."
"...now!"
Okay!
Well, listen. - Yes!
We're going to be fair:
For all of the times in which he didn't understand the instructions,
this time, you predicted them, Kevin.
Yo! Man!
Yo, I'm starting to become an adult, guys!
Yeah! I'm paying my taxes!
It's like a fragile adult, eh? "I'm pumped up."
An eraser: "Oh, shit!"
Your motivation is very fragile, I find.
I'll give you that. I'll give you that.
So, they had to completely erase an eraser as quickly as they could.
Let's have a look at Phil, Tammy, and Marie-Lyne's attempts.
Oooh!
It burns.
Oh yeah, eh?
It smells a bit burnt.
Argh! Ha, ha!
Ah, I'm not going to eat it to win.
Oh no. I won't do that.
"Completely erase." I could eat it.
Or shove it up my ass!
Hang on a sec, lemme see...
Oh! Oooh!
Yeah?
Come on! You son of a gun!
You're gonna die!
Ah, it's not going fast enough!
"Completely erase this eraser."
It looks like I'm trying to wash clothes in the river
like Émilie Bordeleau. [20th c schoolteacher/single mother who inspired a book series and TV show]
Come on, rub it out, my dear!
Get Ovila Pronovost's alcohol stains out. [Émilie's husband who left her with 10 kids]
Do you have a plan?
Circles. I think that...
I'm getting there. Hey, this is taking a long time.
This cabin is going to be super clean.
Ha, yes.
"Completely erase this eraser."
"Fastest wins."
But, I mean... - There's no...
You know, there aren't any tricks to this.
Oh...
I'm telling you.
Now, it's disappearing quickly!
The end bit will be difficult.
I think this is the best spot to do this.
Was it faster on the log?
Ha... That's it. It's... Ah, here is good!
Okay, I have something going, here.
Ouch!
It's not going as fast as I wanted it to go.
I don't wanna break a nail, here.
Come on!
This is...
Is this allowed, or...?
Any tool...
Okay, yes.
Yes.
And there you go!
There you go!
There you go...
There you go!
Done!
You can stop the time.
Where... where... where is it?
Erased as if by magic.
Or, I could do...
I'll stop the clock.
Yes...
It's not completely erased.
Ah, what's behind my ear, here?
An eraser?
Woohoo!
Ladies.
Looking back at the footage,
how did you like your strategies?
Well, I see that we all had the same idea.
Because at the beginning...
We rubbed it at the beginning, but at some point, you go,
"Well, can I go..."
You thought about eating it at the beginning?
Both of you. - Well... Yes.
Yes. I think I was tired.
Let's bring it back to what's most important: the time.
So, Phil. Whether he was actually successful or not,
it took him 1 minute and 53 seconds
to get to his magic trick.
1 minute 53 seconds, that's short.
But there was some remaining. - But maybe it didn't disappear.
Marie-Lyne took 2 minutes and 54 seconds.
Tammy: 6 minutes and 47 seconds.
No, but at a certain point,
when I got into the zone, it was going well.
And there was just a tiny piece left, in the end.
But she made it disappear for real.
6 minutes and 47 seconds!
That's interminable!
Ah, sorry. You thought that was long?
Yes.
Oh, you shouldn't watch Kevin's attempt, then.
Hey! A cheese grater.
Well, there wasn't a real cheese grater.
Okay.
Do you think that that's faster?
No.
Thanks, Kev.
So what's your recipe for today?
My recipe is linguine ♪ alla parmigiana, parmigiana, parmigiana ♪
Yo, this is gonna take long, man.
I'm not ready. No, man.
No! No, no, no, this is gonna take too long.
Like this.
It's hurting the palm of my hand.
Oh no!
But after that... Yo, it's really hot, man! Yo!
Hey, this eraser is big, eh?
Uh, it's standard.
Is it faster like this?
Oh, this is faster.
This is faster, I think.
Oh no!
It's less pretty, though.
Oh, I'm fed up.
New project?
But I won't be able to touch it afterward.
So, you're hoping to dissolve... the eraser.
Okay, so it's... - It's all or nothing, now.
Okay, what is it?
It's...
Yo, they gave me hand sanitiser.
70% alcohol.
Interesting. Interesting.
But what did you think you had in your hands?
Did you think that... You didn't check the
bottle before walking back in there?
Well, firstly, I trust the production team.
But what did you ask them for?
Well, I said, "I want, like, something that will dissolve."
"Like, acid".
When they make people in the movies disappear,
they put them in acid. - That's true.
So, then, I told myself that I could make the eraser disappear.
Do you think that where you went wrong was
asking a production team for acid,
instead of asking the people who make corpses disappear?
That might have been it.
At the beginning, you were very...
You spent a long time doing that.
Well, I asked for a cheese grater,
but they didn't have any cheese graters.
Okay, it's never your fault!
No!
It's the production team's.
It's the production team's fault.
There weren't any cheese graters,
and there weren't any murderers on set.
What kind of production is this?
Listen. What's important is participation.
Yes, Kevin. You're right.
Ah, that's nice.
I gave it my all.
Kevin gets it.
The whole thing took 16 minutes and 20 seconds.
There was no murderer on set to begin with,
but some of them started to think about it after a while.
We just have Mona's attempt left to see!
"Erase the fastest".
So, we have to eliminate this eraser, or...
Hang on. Does this work?
I'm going to erase the word 'eraser'.
They say I'm a bit of a genius.
What? - Ha, ha, ha!
Do you have any sandpaper, Antoine?
Uh, I have this?
That's perfect, my boy. - Will that work?
Oh, definitely. This is...
This is 320 grit. Yes, this is superfine.
It's used for finishing, but let's see. Look.
It works!
There! There! There! There! Stop.
Stop.
Where's the eraser? - "Completely erase this"...
Where's the eraser?
Antoine, where's the eraser? We don't know where the eraser is.
No!
Interesting!
Let me explain myself.
Louis, you know me.
I'm a drag queen lover of literature.
"This eraser"...
"This" refers to the direct object.
I don't know what I'm saying.
And the direct object in the text is "eraser",
so I erased an eraser.
I erased the eraser, I erased the eraser.
Zero points, Mona. - Zero for Mona.
Respect, respect.
Please. I'm awarding points for effort, okay?
Zero. 1 point to Kevin.
Just one?!
Very, very, very, very disappointing.
Phil: 5 points,
Marie-Lyne: 4 points.
Tammy: 3 points.
Woo!
For now, Tammy is in the lead.
What?!
Tammy is in the lead.
Let's move on to the next task right away.
Yes. Oh! Now that I'm thinking about it.
Sorry; I forgot to...
You asked me to.. - Oh, no, but...
...sort your decks of cards.
I did it.
You sorted them? - Here.
You sorted my cards?
No, no, no, no. I'm not an idiot.
I didn't do it myself. I asked someone to.
Oh, not me again!
Oh, I hope it was you.
No, no. Impossible.
Yes, I fucking did it!
I did it alone!
It was you again?
Hang on a sec.
Hey, man...
You know what...
This is gonna take so long.
Ah, it's there.
Three... four... five...
Poor you.
Oh, wow!
I'll remind the folks at home that the other contestants
did not have to sort the cards.
That's what's funny about it.
Like the beans or the bag or rice.
The only person who had
to sort the decks of cards
was Marie-Lyne.
I'd like to thank you.
It's something I really hate doing, sorting cards.
I think you're great.
Kevin, I don't know what the problem with your team is.
It's a very, very good team.
It's a firebrand team.
You can say that I am dedicated, at least.
Well, look.
I'm ready for a team task, now. - A team task?
Here's what I have for you!
Friendship!
Hello, Antoine.
Hi, gang.
How are you?
I'm good. How are you?
Good!
I hope I can get into that.
I'd like you to push me far away.
So, I'll read it because
you have dyslexia, right?
"Place half of your hands"
"on half of your hips"
"and leave them there until"
"the second part of the task is over."
"Half of your hands on half of your hips."
Is this what it means?
That's it. Are you comfortable?
"Also, the hands that are on the hips"
"must only touch those hips"
"until the second part is over."
"You have two minutes." Hang on a sec.
Well, we have two hands.
Half of that is one hand.
Half of two hands is one hand. - We have two hips. That's it.
Well, I think what we're gonna
have to do is use...
Oh, no. We're gonna be like this.
Wait, but we have 6 hands, total.
So you: put one hand on your hip.
You, put your hands on your hips.
I'll have my hands free. I'll complete...
We have six hands and six hips. - We have six hands,
so we have half the number of hands
on half the number of hips.
So I have double the gripping ability.
That could be advantageous.
Second part.
Give it here; I have two hands.
That went well, eh?
"With your hands on those hips at all times,"
"put the most sand in the shopping cart."
"You may only move the shopping cart"
"when there is one minute left on the clock."
"You have 10 minutes. Your time starts now."
Time has started!
"You have 10 minutes."
Okay, so we can't touch the cart,
and we have to get the most sand here.
Okay, it's that sand there.
Okay. Go into the shed.
You see my dedication?
Look at me go.
They had to transport the sand
from the platform to the shopping cart.
And they had to keep half of their hands
on their hips at all times.
So the team of three had a particular strategy, there.
And the team of two each had a hand on their hip.
Kevin looks like... - Look at his face.
I'm confused. I didn't get it.
Yes, you got it. - I did?
Let's have a look. - Okay, I got it.
Good. I understood.
Go to the shed. Run a little, Kevin.
No, I don't run, in life.
Yeah I get that, but you're...
No, no. You're a runner. I'm not.
Look. This is good. This is good.
Okay. Yes, this is good.
Come on, come on. Run, Kevin!
No! I don't run!
Okay...
But hang on.
We need to be able to push it, though.
Well, we're going to pick it up together.
Yo, don't put your shoes in there, man!
I don't care.
I think that's enough.
Come on. Come on, go! Okay.
One, two, three... go!
Oh boy! Okay, go!
We have this, here.
Lay it on the ground.
I'll give you a ton.
Oh, I'm sick of having one hand on my hip. You?
Me too. It's shit.
This is going well so far.
Yes, yes. I mean, at some point...
Okay now we're down to the dregs.
What teamwork.
Okay, I think we can go...
Hang on, hang on. I'm not done.
Hang on. I'm going to go get a broom.
Yes, a broom.
Ah, I'm stuck.
Is there a broom?
Ah, that's a good idea.
Okay.
Can we let go of our hips?
Yes. - Yes!
There you go.
Bravo! Bravo!
Well done!
Some really good teamwork, there.
Yes, we did it very calmly, that time.
That's the first time we didn't argue.
Well, you argued about the shoes in the sand.
Well, yo. Who puts their shoes in sand?
Marie-Lyne Joncas.
What were you doing with your shoes in the sand?
We'll be able to compare their effort to the other team's.
Well, the other team...
Yes, but we have to acknowledge that the other team has an advantage.
They're a team of three. - That's true.
Oh! Also, uh...
I need to show you something.
Hmm...
Oh!
Thank you.
"Sabotage your team during the next task."
"If your team loses, you win 5 points."
Oooh!
"If your team wins, you win zero points,"
"and if your team accuses you of sabotage,"
"you win zero points."
Uh-oh!
Interesting.
Do you accept this mission?
You're there? Antoine?
Yes, it's me.
Oh that's good.
That's it!
Did you think he was acting like an idiot during the task?
Hey, I'm dying to see this,
because the two of us
thought he was an absolute moron.
I think we yelled at him at some point.
We hated you! - I said he was useless.
At the end of the day...
After each team task, we'd always say,
"Hey! Well done! That was fun."
And at the end of this one,
Tammy came up to me and said,
"Hey, I don't know what's wrong with you today,"
"but pull yourself together for tomorrow"
"because you pissed me off earlier".
I was, like, "Ah, yeah. I've got a lot going on in my life."
I wasn't going to tell her,
"Your boyfriend just propositioned me in the bathroom."
Hey, I actually felt badly for you.
I regret the whole thing, now.
So if, during the task, the two others ask themselves,
"What is Phil doing? Is he sabotaging the task?"
He wouldn't get any points? - He will fail his mission.
If he is exposed as a saboteur,
he gets nothing; but if he succeeds,
he gets 5 points if his team loses.
Hey, I'm usually the one who repeats it.
Aww.
Do they have to accuse me?
Or can they just have suspected me?
You must be formally accused.
Was Phil successful in his mission?
We'll find out... - After the break!
Thank you!
It's sadder for Phil,
because the whole time
I wasn't thinking he was sabotaging us.
I was thinking,
"This guy is legitimately stupid."
Yes!
Welcome back to Taskmaster. - Shame on you!
We're in the middle of a treasonous task, Antoine.
Yes. Before the break we saw Phil accept a secret mission
to sabotage his team during the next task.
Will he succeed?
That's a good question.
If his team loses, he gets 5 points.
But if his teammates
discover that he is sabotaging them,
he'll get zero.
Okay.
"Your time starts now." - Here we go!
Perfect, go! Perfect.
You have two hands. You push the cart.
We can only do that when there's a minute left.
Ah, we can't touch the cart?
During the final minute, you can move it.
Come with me. Come with me, my darling babies.
Oh, no. I feel totally useless.
Okay, look here!
There was a wheelbarrow here the other day. - A shovel?
Oh yes, a wheelbarrow. - Where is it?
Worst case, we'll do this. - How?
Well, this works. - With your hands?
Well, we have 10 minutes.
Yeah, but it's gonna fall through the cart.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So, is it... Okay, hang on a sec.
The yoga mat. We'll put some mats down.
The mats. Good idea.
Yoga mats. There's this one...
This one. I'll go shovel the sand.
You need to keep your hand underneath this.
Okay, I can use my mouth.
Ah, do you think that'll work?
No, of course not.
No; unroll the mats.
No; stretch out the mats.
What?
Unroll the mats.
But they don't fit.
Hang on. - It's because doing it with one hand...
Okay, can you..
Put your hand over the hole down here.
I'll do it with both hands. - If we can lean this on you.
Yeah, lean it on me.
Are you okay?
Look here; here, Mona.
This one. Look how well it moves.
We have to go in... Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!
Okay, Tammy... Ah!
Oh! Shit!
Put it on my back, on my back.
Lean it onto my back.
Are you guys okay?
Yes, we're fine.
Oh, shit, shit, shit!
Hey, stop it, Phil!
You spilt it all. No, no, no!
Hey, it's like you were shitting out sand!
Hey, that went well. - Sorry; sorry.
Okay, go, go! Let's keep going! - Great work, kids.
Go ahead, go ahead. While you're doing that, I'll...
I'm cheering you on, I'm cheering you on. Don't stop!
Six minutes.
Hey, they did a good job, here.
It's gonna be okay. You're good, you're good, you're good.
Ah!
Ugh, it's crazy how useless I feel.
Come on, go, go, go!
Hey, but we could... That's good! That's good, Mona.
Mona. Keep it up! - Ah, that's really good.
Hey, we could get more sand in if we open the child flap thing.
What?
This, here.
No, the sand will fit into the cart anyway.
Yes, yes, look at the quantity of sand, here, Phil.
You're making long term plans, there.
Look; if I do this...
Yeah?
I'll put the mat here.
We'll have two receptacles.
Yes, but look; there isn't
enough sand to warrant what you're doing. - It'll be good.
Should I do it? - Do what you think is best.
He's going to undo everything.
Well now you're getting sand on the fucking ground!
No, no! It's inside!
What are you doing? - Well, it's in there!
Yes, but there's so much on the ground.
No, there wasn't too much. You'll see.
Phil. What are you doing?
We had placed everything perfectly.
Hey, I'm going to follow you with this.
Yes! Of course, geez! - How ingenious!
I forgot that I had to refill the thing. Okay, okay.
Hang on. That's it. You see?
You shouldn't have done that.
I'm going to reposition it.
Hold this. Ah, cripes.
Doing twice the work. Okay...
Okay. No, there's a hole!
Ugh, I shouldn't have had my hands on my hips.
No, that should have been me.
You know, at lunchtime, the vegetables?
You were meant to eat them; not to imitate them.
Ah, you didn't take the shovel, Phil!
The shovel, the shovel.
Go get the cart.
One minute 30 seconds.
Ah, goddammit!
Phil, you're spreading it over the turf.
I got tripped up.
No, no, no. Lift the cone.
That'll be easier for me. - Stop talking. Act.
Fucking hell!
Ten!
Don't throw it!
Quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly!
Five seconds.
Good job, Phil, yes!
Throw it, throw it!
I like when you scream like that.
Time's up! Time's up! Time's up!
Thank you.
Yeah, that was a little slow...
They weren't happy, there!
Wow!
I hated the whole thing.
I had my hands on my hips the whole time.
I couldn't do anything.
Why did I sabotage myself when we were already doing disastrously badly?
This whole thing is sadder for Phil
because the whole time,
I wasn't thinking he was sabotaging us.
I was thinking, "This guy is legitimately stupid."
Yes!
"This guy is well and truly thick", you know?
I like you very much so I didn't dare say that.
I was, like, "Hey, do what you want". Tammy too.
"Believe in yourself, Phil."
But at some point...
So the task began with 45 kilos of sand on the platform.
Kevin and Marie-Lyne transferred 44 kilos.
Almost the whole thing.
Impressive.
And the team of three, Phil's team, transferred...
37 kilos.
Ah, not bad!
That's a win for Kevin and Marie-Lyne.
Well done, my man. You worked very hard.
So hard! Like a single mother
with 12 hyperactive children
who was trying to make bologna sandwiches
while the idiot squirts mustard onto the ceiling!
I'm burnt out, Louis!
Okay, okay. So in terms of points
I'll give 5 points to Kevin and Marie-Lyne.
Let's go, Marie! Let's go!
The winning team!
Zero points for the team of three
except for Phil,
who gets 5 points for a successful sabotage.
No, no, no.
No, no. Just him?
Just him.
Good thing he didn't do that to Marie-Lyne.
The fucker wouldn't be here.
I would have been villainous.
You would have split him open!
Okay, next task, Antoine.
A three-step task.
Antoine!
Hey, Phil! How's it going?
Good. You? - Yes!
Yeah. - Hey!
Yeah!
Woohoo!
Snacks.
Ah, not things I need to eat, man.
Ah, damn!
Oooh!
There are three envelopes, Antoine.
Oh! - What do I do?
Interesting. Oh! Three choices?
Do I choose? - Yeah.
Hmm...
Strategy?
Well, I dunno.
So, there were three envelopes.
Yes.
Was there a task in each envelope?
Was there a strategy to this?
Did they have to go in a particular order?
All of these questions will be answered as we take a look at
Phil and Mona completing the task.
"Standing behind this rope,"
"throw one item into the bucket."
"You may retrieve the item if you miss your throw,"
"but you must stand behind the rope on every throw."
"You may not move the rope or the bucket."
Okay, I just lost my cheese puff.
I'm going to... okay.
I'll pick it up later.
And zoop!
I'll start over.
"Balance one item on top of the perch."
"The item must stay balanced"
"until the entire task is complete."
"You may not take the perch out of the base."
I'm behind it.
It didn't move. I... - No worries.
Hey! - Got it!
"Eat one item. Fastest wins."
This isn't working so well.
Ah! You idiot.
There.
"Balance one item on top of the perch."
Oh, shit! I hadn't seen that.
"Standing behind this rope,"
"throw one item into the bucket."
Ah... Ah...
Ow! Ow!
There.
Part of it went in.
Okay, hang on.
Oh boy... Yuck!
Why did you eat the last one?
Well, that's what it said to do.
Here.
Well done!
That was great.
Two successful attempts.
Definitely.
But what were their times? Do we have them?
We don't have them yet,
because there are three more contestants to see.
After the break, I imagine. - Three contestants remain.
Go get yourselves a snack,
but come back after the break.
You won't wanna miss Kevin.
I've seen car wrecks that were less grim than that.
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
We're in the middle of a three- step task.
Exactly. Three tasks in three different envelopes.
They could choose which
envelope to open first, second, and third.
Look at him.
He's worrying me. He remembers.
I think he's remembering.
Should we see Kevin's attempt? Do we wanna see Kevin?
We're going to be patient.
Let's see Tammy and Marie-Lyne's attempts.
No!
"Standing behind this rope..."
"Eat one item. Fastest wins."
Was that it, or do I have to continue?
Okay, but, "You must be behind the rope on every throw."
"You may not move..."
I have to throw an item.
The weights of these are different.
Lightness...
The...
Do I open the other envelopes? Yeah I will.
I don't have to...
Yes; I can be strategic.
"Eat one item. Fastest wins."
Okay, and...
"Balance one item on top of the perch."
Okay, so, this will be at the end.
I have to end with this.
Okay, that's good.
I'm getting well-organised,
but I'm wasting a heck of a lot of time.
Uh...
The easiest to eat; the lightest...
But this... Oh, yeah. Okay.
Hm, ah! "Cloopsh".
"Cloopsh". "Cloopsh".
Ah! Oh no; too fragile.
Ah, and I already ate an item.
Ah, I've reduced my options. Oh!
You know that this is a competition?
Yes, but can't I have some fun at work?
Certainly.
Okay, we'll start with this.
Come on, my friend. Ah!
This is the good one.
Yay!
"Balance an item on top of the perch."
Okay.
Balance, balance.
Not sure if it'll stay balanced on this.
Thank you, Antoine.
You're so sweet.
You can stop the time.
Oh, I'm so proud of myself. That went so well.
I talked a lot, but it went well.
The jelly, at the end... pap! Went in perfectly.
Yeah, eh?
Mm-hmm. - It was amazing.
It stopped existing.
Success!
Yes!
Is Tammy always like that?
Where she always narrates what she's doing?
Like, "Oh, perfect, I'm gonna go"- I'm not sitting properly, here.
I'm gonna move. I'm not sitting properly.
I'm gonna rest my arms on the armrests.
Ah! He has nice thighs!
There was a lot of reflecting about very simple tasks.
What's this guy in front of me saying? He's talking to me.
Sorry. I think I said, "two successful attempts".
No, there was no jelly in mine.
No, the jelly never made it into the bucket.
That's true; she missed her throw.
"The Jelly Never Made It into the Bucket".
That's a good title for a book.
One failure; one successful attempt.
We saw two attempts before theirs.
We'll leave their times for the end,
because we still need to see...
Kevin Raphael! - ...someone.
Let's see Kevin's attempt.
"Balance one item on top of the perch."
"The item must stay balanced"
"until the entire task is complete."
"You may not take the perch"
"out of the base."
"Fastest wins."
What's the perch?
Ah, this!
No...
He chose his own items?
"Standing behind this rope,"
"throw one item into the bucket."
What are you looking for?
The bucket.
Ah, I have to throw something into the bucket.
"For each throw, you may not move the rope or the bucket."
"Fastest wins."
Aaah...
No, no, no!
Oh no!
"For each throw, you may not move the rope or the bucket."
"You may not move the rope or the bucket."
That's it!
"Eat one item. Fastest wins."
I've seen car wrecks that were less grim than that.
Honestly, I was afraid he'd eat a wheelbarrow.
That he'd go into the shed, and come out with a wheelbarrow,
and that he'd eat it.
I wouldn't have been surprised.
It said, "item".
It didn't say, "the thing on the table".
But then why did you eat a thing that was on the table?
Because there wasn't anything to eat in the shed.
The rope; you went back to read the instruction!
Because... hang on!
It said, "do not touch the rope".
I picked up the stanchions.
It didn't say not to touch it;
it said not to move it.
Shit.
Oh!
So, was that a fail for Kevin? - Zero.
Was that a fail for Marie-Lyne?
Of course... - Yes, yes; that was a fail. - That was a failure.
So we have three people who succeeded.
Yes.
Here are their times!
Tammy took 2 minutes and 13 seconds.
Despite all of the "bla-bla-bla"? - Very quick.
That's good.
It's quite tight.
Phil: 2 minutes and 8 seconds.
Oooh!
And Mona completed the three tasks in 2 minutes... and 1 second.
5 points, 4 points, and 3 points.
5, 4, and 3 points.
Who's in the lead? - The traitor; Phil!
There's just one task remaining
before we crown the winner tonight.
Right after the break, it'll take place here,
in front of you lucky folks!
So I need to look at you?
Yes, and there are only two options, Kevin.
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
Antoine, it's the final task of the evening.
Who will read out the instructions?
Mona, please!
Yay! I attended school for about four minutes of my life.
So...
"Read the Taskmaster's mind."
"The Taskmaster will choose a card."
You have all the fun words.
"You must state if that card"
"features Antoine's face"
"or a picture of cheese."
You will receive 1 point for every correct answer in a row.
So, there's a card in front of the Taskmaster.
On one side is my sweet face,
on the other side, some sweet cheese.
Hey, this is really like a coin flip. - He'll choose a side.
The person in front of him
will try to guess which image is on the card.
Okay.
Each correct response gets you 1 point,
and you'll stay in the game.
You get the answers right; you get points.
There's no point limit.
This could be go on for an hour and a half.
As soon as you guess incorrectly, you are eliminated.
This is mostly chance.
The Traitor... - Ah, shit! - You're up first.
So, we'll give the Taskmaster a moment.
I like that you're calling him "The Traitor".
Antoine or cheese?
That's what we're doing.
This is extraordinary.
Hey! Don't say anything.
Phil, no, no, no, no, no, no!
I can't believe this.
Will you stop treating me like a traitor?
Phil.
Phil; what's your answer?
Antoine.
Cheese!
Zero points for Phil.
Zero points!
Tammy.
Same idea.
This is so dumb. - Look me in the eye before we start.
No point limit.
Is that your poker face, Louis?
It's my only face. Poor you.
It's Antoine!
It's cheese again. - 1 point!
We'll go again.
It's Antoine!
We can't know.
It's just luck.
I'm trying to see if there's a code.
A code?
I think his forehead wrinkles spell out the word.
Look at me, Taskmaster.
I'd say Antoine again.
It's cheese.
It's more cheese!
Pretty good! 3 points!
3 points.
Bravo, bravo!
Mona.
Hold this. I'm sorry.
You don't have any forehead wrinkles.
I'm sorry. You're just very smiley.
Here, I'm gonna sit on the stool.
I'm going to stay... Here.
This must look nice.
Here we go.
It's done.
Cheese!
It took you longer to get settled than to play the game.
Okay. So I have to look at you?
Yes. And there are only two options, Kevin.
"Bike helmet."
Look at me.
Yes, I'm looking at you.
Go ahead.
Antoine?
Marie-Lyne!
You could have helped me more!
Look at me like you look at Véro [Louis' partner].
Wow...
Cheese.
It's you!
I won!
Antoine, we took some time
to do some complicated maths.
Yes. - Tallied things up.
The only person who got any points was Tammy.
Yes!
Good work, Tammy.
Three correct guesses.
You got three correct guesses which gives you 3 points.
Zero for the others.
The Traitor got away with it. Crime pays.
With 15 points total,
our winner is The Traitor; Phil!
Thank you very much.
We'll see you next week
for another episode of Taskmaster.
Thank you. Bye-bye!
