Episode synopsis

In this season finale, the contestants must get the most eggs into a frying pan, create the biggest crème fraiche explosion, travel as far as possible while blindfolded, communicate an animal to the Taskmaster using only sounds, turn on a coffee machine from a distance, catch some tennis balls, and stand up after exactly 100 seconds.

Alternate Titles

  • On Finland's MTV Katsomo streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Sokkokävelyä ja kahvinkeittoa', which translates as 'Blind walking and coffee brewing'. This is a reference to the 'Travel as far as possible while blindfolded' and 'Turn on the coffee machine from a distance' tasks. [Translator credit: zador]

    Assistant Intro

    And, as usual, by my side, but slightly lower down the food chain: David Sundin!

    Notes on discrepancies

    • It's hard to determine the cause of the points discrepancies in this episode, as scoreboard updates were only shown after the fourth and last tasks.
    • Given the nature of the point differences, it seems unlikely that they were caused by an additional, unaired task.
    • 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.
