Episode 8: Twice in a lifetime

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must complete a once-in-a-lifetime feat, navigate a wheelie bin obstacle course, create a modelling portfolio, play a game of pineapple bluff, complete five challenges with the same tool, make a parachute for a flamingo, and win a game of ‘Heavier or lighter?’.

Title context

David Sundin muses that Torbjörn Averås Skorup’s achievement had suddenly become a “twice in a lifetime” feat, after he immediately repeats it during the ‘Complete a once-in-a-lifetime feat’ task.

Taskmaster Intro

Bäst i Test rolls on with unabated speed. Even tonight, spicy problems must be solved in a chaotic battle against the clock.

Contestant Intros

And those giving 100% in almost every task are...

Note: All of the contestant intros appear to be references to the Swedish versions of the family-safe expletives used by the Tintin character Captain Haddock.

Bombs and grenades! Marie Agerhäll.

Thunder and crash! Torbjörn Averås Skorup.

My goodness! Lotta Engberg.

Beset and embrace! Nour El Refai.

And for heaven’s sake! Eric Stern.

Assistant Intro

I know what I want to complement my life with. But still, there is someone sitting here by my side week after week. Without qualifications or credentials, but just as happy for that. David Sundin.

Episode prize

The prize in this episode is a framed copy of Marie Agerhäll’s ‘newborn’ pose photograph from the ‘Create a modelling portfolio’ task.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

What have we learned tonight? Well, it’s hard to play darts with a paintbrush, and men who yell at parrots are pathetic.
