Episode synopsis

In this series finale, the contestants must bring in the greatest collection, put some wellies on a spider's feet, complete the best performance of a song, neatly hang all the clothes on a rail, and balance all the mints or biscuits on a spaghetti bridge. In a thrilling tie-breaker, two contestants must guess how many green eggs are under the Taskmaster's chair.

Title context

'Dog meat trifle' was what Greg Davies compared one of the team's performances to, in the 'Complete the best performance of a specific song' task.

Taskmaster Intro

Hello, I'm Greg Davies, and I wish you a warm welcome to the Taskmaster grand final! When Edmund Hillary was asked why he felt the need to conquer Everest, he reportedly replied, 'Because it's there.' We like to think that if he'd been asked to catapult a shoe into a bath using his feet, or chuck himself through a Christmas-tree-bagging machine, he would've said the same. We repeatedly contacted his surviving family for comment, and they have threatened a multi-layered legal action. Proof, if it was needed, that winning Taskmaster is better than climbing Mount Everest. Who are the bold adventurers vying to erase Hillary's legacy?
