Episode synopsis

In the first part of this Champion of Champions special, the contestants must bring in the most embarrassing item, either throw an exercise ball into a bath or fill a shopping trolley with coconuts, blow something substantial off a table, perform a miracle, and write down the second longest word beginning with the letter 'T'.

Title context

'Wiley giraffe blower' was a phrase used by Greg to describe Noel Fielding, after the 'Blow something substantial off a table' task.

    Taskmaster's Sign-off

    So what have we learnt today? We've learnt that if you want to be a champion, mentally scar your siblings by dressing them up as murderous dictators. But let's never forget, the winner of the first episode of the Taskmaster Champion of Champions is Katherine Ryan! Thank you, you wonderful peasants. We'll see you next time.
