Episode 9: Truffle pig

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the sexiest inanimate object, knock some fine china off some towers with a slingshot, write and perform a duet with themself, find and complete the most tasks, and paint while connected to their team-mates.

Title context

Ray noted that he'd "felt like a truffle pig" during the 'Find and complete the most tasks' task.

Taskmaster Intro

Kia ora koutou, and welcome to Taskmaster New Zealand. My name is Jeremy Wells, and I am sitting in this glorious golden throne because all the other candidates for this job fell ill to a mysterious, wasting disease that I miraculously avoided. Bad luck for them, I guess. But good luck for me, you've gotta say, because I'm now the Taskmaster. A few months ago, I asked five of New Zealand's best brightest, and ― let's be honest ― most affordable comedians to complete a series of skewwhiff tasks. Tonight, we'll watch some of those tasks, hand out some points and figure out who deserves to win this ― the official Taskmaster trophy made from 100% pure zero karat gold.

Note: 'Kia ora koutou' is Māori for 'Hello everyone'.

Assistant Intro

And, as always, by my side is a man I can't live without, but will never live with me, despite his constant requests to move into my spare room. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Paul Williams.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

We learned that only losers call them 'skateboards' instead of 'players' utensils'. And most importantly, we learned that Bubbah is the winner of episode nine.
