Episode 7: Legit glass

Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the best thing that's bigger at the top than the bottom, move two chickens around a course using a remote-control car and a mobility scooter, communicate the contents of a safe via reversed audio, make the best and longest-lasting marble run, and communicate with the Taskmaster using only sounds. In a thrilling tie-breaker, two contestants must estimate how many sheets are in a toilet roll.

Title context

'Legit glass' was a phrase used by Mawaan Rizwan during the 'Make the best and longest-lasting marble run' task.

Taskmaster Intro

Hello, and welcome to the opening link for another episode of Taskmaster. Like all good sporting competitions, you're about to see a group of athletes go head-to-head in a series of challenges until one of them proves themself to be the very best. Unlike regulated sport, there are no restrictions on performance-enhancing drugs. Here at Taskmaster, we have a simple mantra - if it makes them more entertaining, let them gobble on illegals until the cows come home. So, here they are! Five pumped-up roid-heads, on the edge of mental and physical collapse.

Assistant Intro

And next to me, it's the one and only, the brilliant, the charming, little Alex Horne! Oh, I'm so sorry, I.. There's been a mix-up. That was the script for my godson's wedding. Sorry, I'll just do that bit again. Here we are and, next to me, is a man who once did a poo in a paddling pool. It's little Alex Horne!
