Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the most expensive item, light a candle using a cupcake, score a basket without using their hands, buy a gift for the Taskmaster, create a video for a nursery rhyme, and anchor balloons using only bread.

Title context

'Seventy-two tries' was how many attempts it took Matthieu Pepper to kick the basketball into the hoop, during the 'Score a basket without your hands' task, according to Antoine Vézina.

Assistant Intro

And, like any good Taskmaster, I also need an assistant, so I've hired the artist who looks the most like a parking valet: Antoine Vézina!
