Episode synopsis
In this episode, the contestants must bring in the most bizarre wooden thing, blow out a candle from a distance, follow some clues and do what they spell, predict what another contestant will do with an object, and balance mints or biscuits on a spaghetti bridge.
Title context
After Kevin Raphaël celebrates his success in the studio after the ‘Blow out the candle from a distance’ task, Phil Roy imitates Kevin and exclaims, “The candle is dead, man!”.
Taskmaster Intro
Good evening! My name is Louis Morissette, and I am the Taskmaster. Over the past few weeks, I have devised a series of tasks for five beloved comedians to complete. Together, we'll discover what they did, and how they did it. As the Taskmaster, I'll hand out points to the most deserving contestants based on highly subjective and ambiguous criteria. The winner of the season will take home the greatest prize in television history: a replica of my head in gold!
Assistant Intro
Please welcome my nearly-perfect assistant: Antoine Vézina.
