SHE GASPS
Whuhh!
HORN
Arghh!
Ahh!
Wheeh!
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
Hello! Thank you and welcome to the show!
Taskmaster - a competition of wit, bravery and of quick thinking.
A contest where the agile and the nimble come out on top,
a celebration of artistic flair, strength and determination
until these five people came along!
Please welcome Iain Stirling!
CHEERING
Joe Thomas!
Lou Sanders!
Paul Sinha!
And Sian Gibson!
And on the much smaller throne to my left
is a man who still comes to work with his sandwiches cut into fingers
because he thinks they "taste better".
It's... (FALSETTO) ..little Alex Horne!
Hi.
Hello. Very good. Yes. You all right?
Yes. This is your section. You lead it.
Well, I've designed a game for all the listeners at home today. Yep.
Uh, it's a game called One Number Bingo.
So if you could all write down one number between one and a million.
Uh, ideally all different numbers
because we don't want more than one winner.
So look at your number. I'm pulling out the number now.
It's all the twos - 20.
OK? So if that was your number,
then you've won.
Right. On with the show.
What's the, er, prize task?
Well, this week we've asked the contestants to bring in
the nicest thing... to hold.
Mmm. Yes.
Greg's going to judge which he thinks is the nicest thing to hold
and give five points to the person that brought it in.
At the end of tonight's proceedings, the overall winner
will carry five things home and have a thoroughly nice time in doing so.
Iain, what have you brought in?
£200 in cold, hard cash.
There it is. You can hold it,
you can buy things with it, you can throw it up in the air,
pretend you're in The Crystal Maze. OK.
A money clip makes me feel like I'm a bit "Yeah, awright?"
"Yeah, go on. Come here, sweetheart, go on..."
"Yeah..." "You have whatever you want, up to the value of 200 pand."
"Ooh, that does feel nice."
It's a start. Sian, what have you brought that's nice for me to hold?
Me! Aww!
Well, I haven't brought me. Well, I am here,
but I can't give someone me to take home,
so I've made a me
because I've been told I give good hugs.
OK.
There she is. There we go.
So it's one of those pillows that you can spoon.
It's like your secret sister that's not allowed to come out.
It's got my head, my perfume
and you can spoon me.
Sian, it's strong. This is a strong opening.
Hopefully someone's going to disappoint us soon. Joe.
What have you brought that's nice to hold?
One of the things you can hold is a note.
Like... Like a pound note or...
No, a musical... musical note
and I think the most famously held note
is when Pavarotti sings the word "vincero"
from Nessun Dorma by Puccini.
He's provided it on a cassette obviously, so...
Erm, if you win the episode, you will win that cassette
and that cassette player and you will hear this noise.
"# Ce-e-e-e..."
OK? Not a bad prize. Why wouldn't you want that?
I think that's nice, a bit of lateral thinking. Thank you.
Erm, Lou. What's the best thing to hold?
I would say hope.
Have you brought the concept of hope as a prize?
Well,
the second best thing to hold...
is a dolphin.
But I've brought a dolphin excursion,
but, because it's ethical, they might not be there.
Because... Oh, they're not captive dolphins.
They might not be around that day, so that's where the hope comes in.
So I've brought you dolphins plus hope.
In the form of a voucher. Here it is.
There.
I don't know if I want to hold a dolphin.
They're quite sexually aggressive is my understanding.
Exactly!
Like a lot of people's bucket list...
Yeah, when they're about to die.
We're all going to die, let's face it,
but that's where the hope comes in. What I don't want is to die
at the...
I was going to say "hands"!
At the flippers of the relentless penis of a male dolphin...
..that's been hammering away at me like some aquatic sewing machine.
You're so arrogant that you think the dolphin's going to fancy you!
Shut up! Have a look!
I'm coming along! He's going to be clicking all over me.
Paul. So this dates to 1983
and it is the chess-tournament trophy
for Dulwich College Preparatory School.
It's a little bit on the rusty side, but it's my proudest possession
and I hold it all the time. Aww.
And the reason I hold it all the time... Ohh.
..is all these recordings of Taskmaster
have utterly crushed my spirit.
I had no idea until I did Taskmaster
that I was actually as thick as pigshit.
Because the recollection I have is of a 13-year-old teenager
winning his school chess championships for the third time,
bringing it home to my dad, saying "Because I won it,
"like Brazil in 1970, they let me keep the trophy."
And the reason you'd really like to hold it, Greg,
is the thrill that it's stolen goods
because when I said to my dad "They let me keep it",
I was lying.
APPLAUSE
Powerful stuff, Greg. It's all powerful stuff.
OK. The thing I want to hold most -
and it genuinely almost brought a tear to my eye -
for some reason, it's Paul's stolen trophy.
That's the thing I want to hold.
Five points to Paul Sinha.
Then I want to sit in a room with white walls,
just listening to Joe's note.
OK, four points to Joe. That's right.
Sian, I'm going to give you a lovely three-point hug.
Ahh. OK, so three points to Sian.
Three points to Sian. OK.
Three points for a bit of cold, hard cash. Joint third, Iain and Sian.
That's right. And two points for Lou's lovely dolphin
that I may or may not get to have a lovely cuddle with.
Very good. Prize task - tick. Next task, please. Sure.
And this has something for everyone, by which I mean air, sand,
a big dice, a tray, art and series one to seven of Taskmaster.
Welcome. Hello.
Oh, God, this is going to be hard, I can tell.
"Make the best picture in the sand
"of a former Taskmask-e-ter..."
"Taskmask..." What's this show called? Taskmaster.
"..Taskmaster contestant..."
"Using one of these implements." Up here on the table.
There they are. "You must roll the dice to choose your implement."
"Nothing but air may touch the sand at any point."
What?! Nothing but air? Oh, OK.
"You have ten minutes. Your time starts
"as soon as you have rolled the dice."
Ok, so we want to get someone who's a good caricature.
Funny old face. Or a big, fat one or something.
Can you say that these days?
They're all sort of mixed blessing really.
It's like a sort of metaphor for just life and the future, isn't it?
Just... Could be different, but all shit. Erm...
Four. Hohh!
Hnng! Oh, I think it's that.
It's a six. That's the long horn.
That's the horn. Yeah, the worst of all. Erm...
Thrown a two.
DEVICE BUZZES
Great!
That's a good one.
Six.
SHE LAUGHS Oh, dear.
Nice that in this episode Joe finally works out
that this entire show is a metaphor for how shit life is!
Good. OK. This is all of them doing it together.
Right.
Here we go. Ready?
Well, this is just stupid.
BREATHY NOTE
Whoo-oo!
Oh, here we go.
That's actually a lovely bit of business.
BREATHY NOTE
Can I ask you what the state capital of Alabama is?
It's Montgomery? OK.
DEVICE BUZZES
It's quite hard because it's just a load of holes.
Oh, my God. I'm out of breath.
"You must roll the dice to choose your implement."
But can I use one of the others? Doesn't say I can't.
Paul, do you know the state capital of Arkansas?
Little Rock.
I can roll the dice again? Mm.
Ohh.
What are you trying to roll? A two.
Do you know the state capital of Kansas?
Topeka.
Two! You got a two, did you?
Yeah. DEVICE BUZZES
My back's gone.
This is harder that it looks.
Up a bit. Right, right.
Literally right there. Oh. Uhh...
SHE SIGHS
DEVICE BUZZES THEN STOPS
Not going to bugger it up any more than I have to.
Wow. Thank you, Lou.
Thank you. Bye.
Good. So they've done sand art of former contestants
and you're going to have to guess who the contestant is. Good.
We're going to start off with Joe's attempt with the long horn.
See who you think this is.
This is someone who's previously been on Taskmaster?
Yes, yes.
Well, it's obvious, isn't it?
That series where we had the old Chinese guy.
Joe said it won't be necessary to tell you who it is
and he said also
"SHE..."
Christ!
And "It doesn't get much better. Looks like a lovable pooch."
In the picture. In the picture.
The more I stare at it, it looks like Predator.
I haven't got a clue who it is.
It's Jessica Knappett!
It's really, really, really hard to get anything done.
I mean, even to get that was really hard.
Oh, fine. Five points, then.
Right. Would you like to do this link to break, Alex? Yes, please.
Well, you can't! It's the end of part one.
See you back here very soon.
APPLAUSE AND WHOOPING
WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
Hello! Welcome back to Taskmaster!
Humour me, Alex. Tell me what was going on before the break,
like I don't know. Sure. Well, Greg, before the break,
they were trying to use one of the instruments provided
to blow a portrait of a former Taskmaster contestant into sand.
Next it's Lou. Who is this?
Is it Phil Wang? It is Phil Wang.
Yes, it is Phil Wang.
We've only had one Phil on the show, right? Yes.
Nice excuse to draw a picture of a wang!
She kept throwing the dice till she got the implement she wanted,
which wasn't technically against any rules.
Good. Now, here's a sentence I didn't think I'd be saying -
I'm disappointed by the "Phil", but I love the wang.
Do you want to see Sian's pan-piped attempt?
When did we have that guy on with, erm,...
the burglar's mask
and one giant tooth
in the centre of their mouth?
It's a beard actually. A beard with a mouth hole.
I think it's, erm,
Joe Wilkinson.
It is! Er, no, it's Romesh.
Romesh Ranganathan there. Of course it is.
So tricky because you make one hole and another one closes.
Yeah... Exactly. It's a metaphor for life.
It's a metaphor for life.
That is, I mean, so rubbish.
Paul was slightly luckier with this throw. Pfff...
Paul got a barbecue blower, electronic device.
And he created this.
Oh!
Mm. Now, I actually think that is Romesh.
Well, you're absolutely right. It is Romesh.
You missed a few details out.
The ears...
and his teeth hanging from his beard. But apart from that...
Who's next? Er, one person left
and he's an artist. Well, a voiceover artist mainly.
It's Iain Stirling's attempt.
SURPRISED MUTTERING AND LAUGHTER
Mm.
First of all, it's a lovely drawing. Thank you very much. You're welcome.
I think I know who it is,
but I also think what I'm about to say might be incredibly insulting...
I'm worried you might say who I tried.
I should say it started off a man and became a woman halfway through.
I think it's, erm, Sally Phillips.
It is Sally Phillips. Yeah!
It is Sally Phillips.
It was meant to be Nish Kumar.
Can we see all of them? There they are. That should help.
OK, I'm going to give Sian one point.
It's so shit!
I'm going to give Joe and Lou two points...
Fuck off!
Honestly, I can't actually believe this.
You've written "Phil"!
So two to Joe, two to Lou. Two to Lou.
It's obviously a toss-up between Iain and Paul's.
I'm going to say that Sally Phillips takes it.
Iain five points and Paul four points.
There we go, Iain Stirling gets five points!
So he's yet to win an episode, he's the only one who hasn't won one,
but Paul is in the lead with nine points! Oh, at last!
At last!
Yes, Paul!
In the series, Paul is now on 96,
then Iain 109, Sian 100. Tight.
Joe 121, but Lou is in the lead with 124!
Ooh. Three points in it.
Get in.
What's next? I've got tons of balls for you. Here we go.
Where we going?
Hello, team. Hello, Alex.
"Catch all the red balls..."
"..in things from the shed."
"Catch the yellow balls in clothing."
What?
"Don't let the green balls touch anything other than the grass."
"Catch the blue ball in something from the kitchen."
"Red balls are worth one point..."
"Yellows two."
"The blue is worth five."
"But you lose two points for every green ball
"that touches anything other than the grass."
"You may not touch the ball machines."
"Any non-green ball that touches the ground at any point
"will not count."
"Highest score wins."
"The balls will start firing..."
"..in two minutes from now"?! Oh, my God, right.
OK, you find something from the kitchen to catch the blue ball in.
I'll get something from the shed to catch the red balls in.
Shall I do blue and green and you do yellow and red? Yeah, perfect.
There's three colours of balls,
so Paul, get something from the shed, you're on red balls.
Clothing - yellow balls. I'll go to the kitchen. What am I on?
An item of clothing, you can use anything.
I know, but I'm getting something from the... the shed.
Shed. Er...
That's fine.
Where's that hat? Oh, I don't know. Ahh...
Where are the ball machines?
They could be anywhere.
I thought we were going to see the return of bossy-boots Iain then.
Ohh... I hate myself.
You don't like bossy-boots Iain, watching him back, do you?
Just shouted at a woman and then ran into the kitchen.
At least you didn't walk into a shed and come out
looking baffled with a washing-up bowl.
We're going to start with the other team. Sian and Joe giving it a go.
Dream team.
Bucket. Well, I've got... Actually there's that as well.
That's... That's quite good.
That's an option as well.
I mean, that's not... It's no better than that really.
Right, hang on. Uhh!
Oh, my God! Right, hang on...
A blue! A blue, green... Red balls, shed.
Yellow balls, clothing. Right.
Ahh!
Well done!
I can't even see blue.
Grass... SHE SCREAMS
Oh, God!
SHE SHRIEKS Green, yellow, yellow...
The clothing is shit.
Ahhh!
Oh, the yellows are impossible.
Wahh! No!
Oh, no...
No!
Oh, God. Right...
I've not seen a blue ball.
There's green!
Yellow! Nearly.
Green...
No! Yellow...
OK. Ow.
That was the blue. Oh, no!
AUDIENCE: Oohh!
I'm just going to stand here and hope.
HE SIGHS
Ow!
Use this shoe because that's red. Get the reds in there.
Have you got your system sorted now? Yes.
I'll look this way, you look that way.
Well,...
quite a contrast within the team.
Sian,
I don't think you did anything.
I was on blue-ball duty... Blue ball, which you missed.
It did say "Catch THE blue ball in something from the kitchen",
so you held up a hat and a pan.
The initial way we divided it up was I'd do red and yellow
and Sian would do blue and green.
The only job of the green was to let them hit the ground...
Sian did well on the green duty. Yeah...
Well, she caught three yellows in the right thing,
er, but she also touched or was struck by several greens.
Her total was minus 12 points.
Minus?!
Er, Joe was a sort of ball magnet.
He was hit by red five times, hit by yellow 11 times,
hit by green 15 times. Yeah.
Minus 30 for the greens, but he also caught eight red,
caught nine yellow in the correct things,
so he added four points, so they get altogether minus eight points.
It was hard. No, it was... it was hard.
Let's all stop and have a little rest. See you in a few minutes.
WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
APPLAUSE
Hello! Thank you.
How pleasant it is to have you back with us. Little Alex Horne,
please remind us of the rules of the current complicated task.
Yes, the rules are simple really.
Catch all the red balls in something from the shed,
catch the yellows in an article of clothing,
if the greens touch anything but the grass, you lose two points for each.
Catch the blue ball in something from the kitchen,
red balls are worth one point, yellows two, the blue five. OK?
Yep. Good. Here's the team of three - Lou, Paul and Iain.
The green balls must touch grass, so maybe it's here, then.
No, the green balls are not allowed to touch grass.
The green balls aren't allowed to touch grass? We...
"Don't let the green balls touch anything other than the grass."
This is like... Oh, wait!
Shit! What colour am I catching?!
I'm getting blue! I'm getting blue!
Shit... Yellow, yellow!
Quick, catch something, for Christ's sake!
What the fuck...
Yellow!
Green!
This is...
Green...
Green is grass, green is grass!
Switch!
This isn't working.
Yes! Mummy!
There's literally no blue balls.
"The blue ball."
Where is it?
Wahh! Who's red?
I want that blue ball.
Ahh!
Stop catching the green ones, they've got to hit the grass.
Blue! Yesss!
Whoa!
Blue!
What just happened?!
Mummy!
Red! Get it, Paul. Get it, Paul.
Ohh... That's for me!
Yellow!
I got one!
I got... I got...
Eh? What happened there?
Got to pass some of them.
I appear to have caught two by accident. Thank you, team.
AUDIENCE CHEERS
Erm, Lou, something we haven't got into previously this series,
but something... a battle cry that you've used throughout
is "Mummy"!
Do you use "Mummy!" a lot?
I think I'm going to stop now I've seen it.
That technique worked well. It did work well.
Lou was a productive member of the team. She caught six yellows,
which means plus 12. She touched four green,
but she adds four points to the team total. Well, lovely.
Iain caught the blue ball for five points. Iain, I mean...
The blue ball - and the celebration entirely valid.
Yeah. I think about seven green balls hit me
as I was celebrating getting five points.
Did the blue ball pay dividends?
Well, he also caught four yellows correctly,
touched nine greens, so minus five for Iain.
So the team are now on minus one. Right.
Remember they've got minus eight to beat. Eight to beat.
So it's Paul's contribution that's going to matter. Come on, Paul.
He did touch a lot of greens, they did strike him repeatedly
on his leg, then balls, then thigh, belly, foot, tray,
foot, foot, back. 19 balls altogether.
With his catches, he scored minus 26.
CHEERING
That's a...
Yep. A total of minus 27 for their team.
Oh, dear.
Although there is one more thing I could show you.
It's just something I noticed after the final ball was propelled.
What am I like? Ahh...
AUDIENCE: Ohh!
Oh, my God!
Just waiting now.
Ohh.
Oh, I just dropped my hat. That's a shame.
Is that it?
AUDIENCE: Ohh!
You OK?
I feel like I've been stabbed in the back! Mm.
Of all the people!
I'm so sorry, Joe.
It's all right. You know, we all do crazy things sometimes.
I felt like I hadn't contributed because of the blue ball...
No, because you hadn't contributed.
In Taskmaster history,
we have, erm,...
never forgiven cheating.
Was it cheating?
I'm afraid cheating is rewarded by disqualification, so...
Not me, not Joe! I'm afraid so.
And that's something you're going to have to live with.
Mummy!
So,...
can I just... Can I confirm?
Despite scoring minus 27,...
Yeah. ..how many points are the team of three getting?
Well, they're going to get all five points.
Right. Five points to Iain,
Lou and Paul Sinha!
Well done, Paul.
Right. Come on, let's have another task.
You mean this sort of thing? HE GASPS
CAWS
Hello! Hello, Iain.
A'right? Pardon?
All... All right. All right.
All right? All right.
This is what I'm talking about.
This looks ridiculous.
Yes. SHE SIGHS
"Make this beach ball cross the finishing line."
"Only water can touch the beach ball."
"Fastest wins. Your time starts now."
What are you talking about?
"Only water can touch the beach ball."
Oh.
Well? What WERE you talking about?
He was very cross. You were very cross about that, weren't you?
Yes.
Can we see some stuff? Yes, we're going to see three of them race now.
Iain, Sian and...
J... J...
Do you want to guess? J... Joe?
No. P... P... P...
Paul? Lou Sanders, here we go.
Obvious question - is there a hosepipe?
Would you like me to get you a hosepipe? Yes, please.
Let's get a hose. I'll get you a hose.
Get me a hose, then, yeah?
Give me slack. Give me slack!
Am I going? HOSE HISSES
Oh, dear.
Ahh! Ahh!
Uhh... Please may I have a bucket?
It's going backwards!
What are you looking for now? A tap.
Tap? Yeah.
Only water...
Is there another setting?
Wait a minute.
There we go.
Ohh!
Oh, yes, I'm on it!
Well, sack that off.
Doesn't have to go on the course, just has to cross the finish line.
Do you have a different hose end? I think this might be a bit more...
Ahh, mummy!
Done it. Thank you, Iain.
Do you want to do it?
SHE LAUGHS
Put it in the bucket...
OK...
Oh, I'm stuck.
Ooh, ooh, I'm away. I'm away.
Ooh, dear.
Mummy!
Yes!
Whoo!
Only Iain worked out you didn't have to follow the course.
No, that was not within the rules.
You just had to get it across the finishing line. Ohh!
Ahh...
To give you an idea how well I feel this show has gone,
that's the best I think I've ever done
and I ran into the start line.
Lou. Another "Mummy" followed by, erm,
making it look like you've got a big dick between your...
Would you say I was the full package?
You really are quite the catch.
Do you want to know the time? Yes, please.
I've done it terms of, if you boiled an egg for that long,
what sort of an egg it would be. Go on.
Er, boiled.
Boiled. But we've still got a slightly runny yolk -
five minutes 37.
Right. Sian - her technique was similar to Lou.
It was actually somehow slower, so liquid yolk, but less oozy -
six minutes 40.
Iain - cold egg - one minute 10!
Whoa!
Whoa.
Yes.
Lovely. Who's next?
If you've got to move an inflatable ball, you'll ask for a hose,
it's simple, really. Anyway, here's Joe Thomas.
Arghh!
OK, that's all right.
WATER RUNS
That was a bit over the top, sorry.
Is that the finishing line?
Oh, fuck me!
Just look up.
Agh!
No...
That's made it worse. That's made it a lot worse!
No!
Oh, Christ...
What have you got there, Joe? Er, ice.
Is that all right?
I'll just...
It's not very effective, is it?
There's, erm...
AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
You're getting style points.
Oh, my life.
I genuinely thought I'd done quite well on that.
Really... It's as though I'd never heard of a hosepipe.
I didn't even... Or a finishing line.
You thought it was a finishing wall.
Normally in the sprinting, there's the finish line, immediately a wall.
Yeah...
The ice though - genius. If only the ice had come first.
Yeah, the ice I could've... had a go at it with the ice straight away.
Erm...
Oh, if you hadn't thrown 27 plant pots full of water
against the ball first...
There were eight trips to the kitchen to get water.
You also got trapped by the garage with the ball for four minutes.
No way out.
I think this could be up to an hour.
Well, you'll be surprised. The egg that he's boiling is now a stone,
but it was only 16 minutes and 21.
Wow. It felt like an hour.
OK, we've reached the end of another part.
Come back to see who wins the nice things to hold. Bye for now.
Hello and welcome back to Taskmaster!
Last part of the show, then. Here we go. Oh, yes. I'm so up for this.
They're trying to get a... beach ball
across a course and over the finishing line using only water.
Lou, Iain and Sian used a hose, Joe went mad,
finally up to the start line, it's Mr Squirty himself,
Paul Sinha!
HE BLOWS No.
Is there a hose... pipe and a tap?
Would you like a hose? Well, only if it's attached to a tap.
It is.
Oh, it can't be going backwards!
Can I get you anything?
Erm...
My dignity?
I'm going to put the finishing line together. OK.
Need a hand, Paul? Yes, please.
HE BLOWS
AUDIENCE CHEERS
I've stopped the clock.
Thank you, Paul.
A sympathy cheer if ever there was one.
Great logic though with the finish line.
Yeah. Your first attempt - were you trying to spit it up to the...
I had no idea what the actual lightness of the ball was.
Just thought "Is it possible to blow it?"
Want to know how long it took him to make the ball go minus one metre?
20 minutes. Ah, well, no.
He made the classic hard-boiled egg suitable for a picnic -
11 and a half minutes. Ahh! Not bad! Not bad.
The slowest was actually Joe Thomas, so one point to him.
Two to Paul, three to Lou, four to Sian, but the quickest by a distance
was Mr Iain Stirling!
Right, let's have a look at the scores before the final showdown.
OK. The exciting news is that Paul, despite that,
is still in with a shout of winning the episode. He's in second with 16,
Iain is in the lead with 18 points! Yes, please, Paul Sinha!
Right, it is time to stand up and march to the stage, please,
for the final task of the show!
AUDIENCE CHEERS
Hello, everyone. Who's going to read the task out?
I'd like Sian Gibson to read the task out, please. Right.
"Complete the five-syllable word started by the Taskmaster."
"Honk your horn if you think you know what word
"the Taskmaster is going to say."
"If you guess it correctly after one syllable, you get five points."
"If you guess it after two syllables - four points."
"Guess it after three syllables - three points."
"Four - two. Guess it incorrectly, you lose all your points."
"You may only guess once per word."
"Highest score after ten words wins."
OK. Just to clarify, each word will have five syllables eventually.
It's up to you when you want to honk and guess. If you get it wrong,
you must hold your horn on your head to indicate that you got it wrong.
If you get it wrong, you lose all your points that you may have gained
at any point during the task. Whoa.
And it's winner takes all, this one.
The winner gets five points, zero to everyone else.
AUDIENCE: Ooh! Good luck. Word one.
U...
That's for five points. ..ni... Four points.
HORN University.
Incorrect. Horn on the head, thank you.
..ver...
..sa... PARPY HORN
Ooh!

Two points to Sian Gibson!
Word two.

HORN University again.
He's got it! Correct!
Word three.

Talk me through it, Alex. Iain, an incredible second place there.
Yeah. But there was only one winner of the five points
and that was Mr Paul Sinha!
Yep.
And that means... it's a historic occasion.

WHOOPING AND CHEERING
Paul Sinha wins the nice things to hold!
Head up and hold them, Paul!
So what have we learned today?
We've learned that Taskmaster has been going so long now
that we've forgotten some of our past contestants.
So let's have a big shout-out to Predator,
Big-Tooth Guy and The Old Chinese Man!
And we learned that Paul Sinha
has won an episode!
What a victory!
Thank you and good night!
