Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must fill a cup with coffee, throw something into a pedal bin, converse with a stranger about themselves, name words beginning with 'shrimp', draw a portrait of the Taskmaster across a flipchart, play mini golf with an egg, and select the lowest unique number of jelly candies.

Alternate Titles

  • On Finland's MTV Katsomo streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Itsekehu kateissa', which translates as 'Missing boasting'. This is probably a reference to the 'Converse with a stranger about yourself' task. [Translator credit: zador]

    Taskmaster Intro

    Welcome to Bäst i Test, the show where we treat folly and frivolity with the utmost seriousness. And every week, we have a brave panel who test their abilities in fairly unconventional categories.

    Assistant Intro

    And before we continue, I'll introduce my currently-conjoined-with-his-stopwatch, moustachioed assistant, David Sundin!

    Notes on discrepancies

    • It is unclear where the discrepancies between the points shown on the final scoreboard and those observed to have been awarded occurred, but it must have been at some point between the fourth and last tasks.
    • It appears possible that there was an extra, unaired task which took place in the second half of the show.
    • Fortunately, the discrepancies did not affect who was named as the winner of the episode or the series.

    Aired tasks

    Unaired non-competition tasks shown in the bonus episode

    The following tasks were included in the studio session for this episode, but they did not make the broadcast edit of the episode. No competition points were awarded in these tasks, so they did not affect that episode's scores, or the overall season scores.
