Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the best non-living hairy thing, make a man blush, slice bread into as many pieces as possible, empty a bathtub, and make the longest continuous noise.

Title context

The episode title is a reference to the 'Make the man blush' task.

Taskmaster Intro

Good evening and welcome to Suurmestari! This time as well, a group of entertainers tries to use their ingenuity, skills, and - in some cases, their intelligence - to solve a bunch of tasks that I've devised for them. They'll experience both challenges and disappointments, but their feelings don't matter that much really, because the main thing is that we're being entertained.

Assistant Intro

And here next to me sits the contest's official referee, Pilvi Hämäläinen.

Notes on discrepancies

  • During the judging of the 'Make the man blush' task, Jaakko states that he is deducting two points from Janne for breaking two 'Taskmaster symbols'.
  • However, those deducted points never appear to be reflected in the scoreboards, so we have to assume that either that was just a joke, or someone made an administrative error.
  • This did not affect who was named as the winner of the episode.
  • It is not yet known whether the discrepancy (if there was one) was carried over into the overall series scores.
