Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the most pretentious thing, protect some popcorn from Tom Cashman, deliver 26 roses to a vase, get a giraffe into a bath, and spell 'Taskmaster' using their own shadows.

Title context

Tom Gleeson asked Danielle Walker "Are you okay?", after her attempt at the 'Deliver 26 roses to Tom's vase' task.

Taskmaster Intro

Yes! Hello. Welcome to Taskmaster Australia. My name is Tom Gleeson and, as far as you are concerned, for the duration of this show, I am the Taskmaster! This is the show where I take five beloved comedy personalities and make them dance for me like they've never danced before. The prize at the end of the season? Why, it's as good as it gets. It's this shiny replica of my head, forged by melting down every single Gold Logie except mine. Vying for this most elusive of prizes are our brave contestants. Please clap as I say their names.

Assistant Intro

And by my side, as always, is a man who does need an introduction. Easily one of the top two Toms in my inner circle, it's my honest assistant, Tom Cashman.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

Tonight, we learnt that popcorn is generally inedible when drowned in toilet water. We learnt about the unique bathing habits of the East African giraffe. But importantly, however, we learnt our episode five winner is Julia!

Notes on discrepancies

  • Danielle's episode score, as shown on the final scoreboard, was 1 point lower than it should have been (she was awarded 2 points in the final task, but her score was only incremented by 1 point).
  • This discrepancy does not carry over into the final season scores, though.
