Episode 2: Oatmeal and death

Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the most awesome square, scale a mountain, work out the contents of some doggy bags, paint a space hopper green, and put on a medallion.

Title context

'Oatmeal and death' was what Desiree Burch thought one of the doggy-bags contained, in the 'Work out the contents of the bags' task.

Assistant Intro

And next to me, a man who who once told me in private that he doesn't really like women because he thinks they've got a bit 'too chopsy, of late'. It's little Alex Horne!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So, what have we learnt today? We've learnt that Taskmaster teaches you a variety of things - courage, perseverance, determination. But none of us expected it to teach you survival skills. So, remember, next time you're stuck up a mountain with no food, get your friend to chop their bottom off and feed it to you. That's it for this episode, apart from showing a little more respect for our winner, Guz Khan.
