Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in their most prized childhood possessions, hand some unusual laundry out to dry, build a big flag, try to frighten the Taskmaster, and sweep some items towards the edge of the stage.

Title context

The phrase 'Mexican lasagne' was never actually uttered during the episode, but is a reference to Paul Ego's attempt at the 'Build a big flag' task, during which he mentioned lasagne while talking about the Mexican flag (a perfect reference, since he was mistakenly recreating the Italian flag).

Assistant Intro

And at my side is a young whippersnapper hungry to make a name for himself. Don't let those puppy-dog eyes fool you - he will stop at nothing to get to the top. It's Paul Williams.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

Oh, it's been a good night. We've been reminded that there was a time when rotary clothes lines reigned supreme, and we've seen that there's nothing more terrifying than a woman trying to kill someone when she doesn't know who that someone is. Most importantly, we've seen that the winner of this third episode of Taskmaster is Paul Ego!
