Watched a few episodes but couldn’t be bothered to carry on due to all the adverts but started to watch again since they’ve put the full episodes on YouTube

Just realised they have always been on there I’d just clicked a new one when I realised 🤦‍♀️

New series tonight. Only 15 minutes in but already Chris Ramsey is annoying me with his over the top 'look at me getting the joke and laughing'.
The rest OK. Too early to tell.
 
I actually didn't mind Chris on the show, I'd been apprehensive about him on it as the SMA podcast has been a bit eh recently for me... I think I'll avoid his podcast whilst he's on the show so him and Rosie wont run Taskmasker for me 🤣

Listening to the podcast and they explain the extra duck! Was a task they filmed for COC2 where there was unlimited ducks, but they tweaked the task for this episode!
 
I feel like Chris Ramsey has watched it too much - he almost feels rehearsed in tasks. I wasn't sure what Bridget would be like but she really impressed me.
Did you notice them all insulting the Timberland boots in the duck task and Sophie had similar shoes on in the studio?!
 
Hoping it’ll end up being a good series but it’s definitely one of those shows that started off better.

We’re currently rewatching and I laugh SO much watching the earlier series.

same! it (obviously) is a show that is completely based on how well the guests gel as a group and some of the earlier series are just amazing. the bob mortimer/nish kumar/etc is by far my favourite - i still get nish and mark’s “i’m always watching you do cool stuff” song in my head 🤣

words cannot express how much of a weird crush i have on greg davies though.
 
Have caught up, I don't actually mind Chris Ramsay, I like that he's obviously competitive. You kinda need someone to be.

Ardal is going to be the trademark older, dopey, don't give a duck. But he's going to be good. I wasn't sure what he was going to be like.

Judi Love can duck off. Why did we let her become a thing. She isn't funny. She isn't entertaining. I don't like her.

The other two I haven't yet made my mind up on because I don't know them before this show.

And the studio task is an instant classic for me. It was brilliant.
 
I loved judi! I’ve found her irritating on other shows but loved her in the tasks! Her chatting bollcocks might get toned down but I like the mix of personalities! The group tasks I reckon will be the making of this group as they’re all so different
totally agree I find Judi mega annoying - but in Taskmaster last night she was hilarious - all the expressions and looks she gave really made me laugh. Similar with Sophie - seen her in a couple of panel shows and found her dry but she is great in this. I loved the first episode - already this is better than series 10!

Totally agree with everything you said.

Since the move to channel 4 the show went down hill. But this opening episode reminded me of older series and I actually laughed out loud at it for the first time in ages
