Episode 8: Dumb in unison

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the most cursed thing, spell their fanciest word in their favourite colour, create a celebratory personal theme tune, paint an accurate map of Australia, and transform their face into an Australian icon.

Title context

"Dumb in unison" was how Tom Gleeson described Danielle Walker and Nina Oyama, during the 'Paint an accurate map of Australia' task.

Taskmaster Intro

Yes, hello. Welcome to Taskmaster Australia. For months, I have been setting tasks for my little underlings, watching them squirm, stumble, and very occasionally triumph. Tonight, we do it once more, and in only two weeks, we will be awarding the best of them this beautiful Tom Gleeson-shaped head. Perfect for taking home and putting in your spare bathroom, and occasionally practising kissing on. They're all in it to win it. It's our season-one cast.

Assistant Intro

With me, as always, is my right-hand man, the loyal deputy behind all my sneaky back-room deals. It's Tom Cashman.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

We learnt that Australia was designed by Jackson Pollock. We learnt that Danielle Walker can spell but, when it comes to dog shit, she can't smell. The main thing we learnt is that Julia is our champion for this week!
