Episode synopsis

During this episode, the contestants must bring in the greatest orange thing, knock the bails off some wickets from as far away as possible, do the most unpredictable thing, be the most British, and correctly don some surgical gear while keeping a balloon aloft.

Title context

While trying to argue that her rugby tackle against Paul during the 'Do the most unpredictable thing' task wasn't an attack on him, Bubbah described it as "a love bomb".

Assistant Intro

As always, sitting by my side and waiting patiently for his next command is my loyal human pet, Paul Williams!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

We learned that Mel Bracewell crawls around on the ground like a cat, even when nobody asked her to. We learned that the New Zealand version of Taskmaster will probably never air in Britain. But most importantly, we learned that Mel is the winner of episode one!
