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!
[Episode title: "An Opportunity"]
Yes! Allow me to present tonight's participants.
If they were the five fingers on my right hand,
I'd be wishing I were a leftie.
Phil Roy! - I'm the thumb!
Tammy Verge!
I'm the pinkie!
Mona de Grenoble!
I'm the "fuck you".
Marie-Lyne Joncas!
I'm the naked ring finger.
Oh... you're single.
And Kevin Raphael!
Damn! I'm... - The index.
The index!
You're the pinkie!
The index! I'm the index.
The three index fingers of one hand.
And, he's my personal assistant,
and he operates without the need of a button.
Antoine, say hello to the people.
Hello to the people.
Aw... Antoine?
Hmmm?
What are tonight's prizes?
Each participant had to bring in an item.
Tonight's theme:
The most burstable thing.
Ah! Yes! - Yes!
Points will be given out afterwards,
and they'll be fighting for these prizes. Imagine that!
Let's see what Phil brought in.
Roy.
The most burstable. - No!
[during the previous episode] Hey, let's see what Phil Roy brought in.
It's a... - Ha, ha!
...laptop stand.
It's weird, because it's still standing.
Wait! Stop!
You got the... - Stop! That week I got
tons of comments from people who said that I had
put too little effort into the prize task.
They said, "Bring it back."
And now we're going to auction it.
Anyone here tonight can go home with my laptop stand!
All of the proceeds will go to the Véro & Louis Foundation.
[Louis' and his partner's foundation, creates homes for autistic adults]
Now let's see you give me zero points!
Phil, I don't think he needs the three bucks.
No, but... No, but...
Tammy... For the whole week,
Tammy FaceTimed me in front of...
She was standing up with her laptop on the table.
So, I really maximised its potential.
I'm very happy to get rid of it, now.
She gave it back.
But it's not really burstable?
It's not burstable?
Give me two seconds; you'll see.
I'm the one who built it.
I know exactly how to burst it in two blows.
It's already getting there, actually. Okay, thank you.
Let's see Mona's item, now.
Yes, so, uh...
What?
That's tacky, Mona. That's gross.
I know you'll say that I'm predictable, but it's
only the second most burstable thing that I own.
I wanted to bring in Marie-Lyne's ego,
but I don't have any photos of that. Ha, ha!
Oh, oh... - Okay... - That's bullying.
I'd give zero to Mona.
And the breasts...
There are children who watch this show.
You do know that it's a family show?
Children drank from those. That's nature.
It wasn't that long ago; for those children.
Yeah, I'm sure the ones they suckled at were made of plastic.
Worst case; it's a nice memory for them. - I get it.
Let's see Kevin's item.
Ah, I can't wait.
A vase; of course. Basic.
No, it's a flower vase.
Okay, let's move on to Tammy...
I'd like to say that it's a nice vase!
Hey! Yo! Look.
What happens when you drop a flower vase?
Patow!
Clow!
What's the theme of this task?
The most burstable.
Done.
I'd say these were all
excuses to make jokes, my dear Kevin!
I'm a "one-plus-one-equals-two" kinda guy, baby.
"One plus one equals two."
Excellent.
Antoine, before showing you what I brought in,
I'd just like to thank Taskmaster for
giving me an opportunity
to plead my case against something I hate.
Ah, okay. Well, let's see what Tammy brought in.
I hate Céramic Café. [ceramic painting studio/café in Montreal]
Antoine Vézina and my daughter swear by this place.
We love it.
And they bring back pottery.
But disgusting pottery that fills up my house
that I'm trying to make,
you know, that I'm trying to refine.
But they fill it with egg-cups.
Antoine is colour-blind.
Look at those colours! They make no sense!
It's gross. It's burstable.
And if you gave me the chance to burst them now,
I'd do so with pleasure.
We'll burst them at the end of the show.
Is that an egg-cup with... - He wrote his PIN on it.
It's Pi.
It's the decimals of Pi.
I'm dating an intellectual.
It's the number of Pi.
Antoine, is it true that you're a sucker for Céramic Café?
I've been looking for my egg-cup for a while, now.
Yes, and I wrote the value of Pi, of course, around it.
And that's, obviously R2-D2's head that I painted,
but you can't really tell.
It's... - Hey, I tried, okay?
I'm so sorry.
I already have a girlfriend!
I don't have to try so hard anymore!
I love Céramic Café.
There's still Marie-Lyne left to see.
There's still Marie-Lyne left to see!
Hang on, hang on...
For me, 'éclatable' ['burstable'] means a 'éclat' ['splinter'] of a 'table'.
'Éclatable'. A splintered table.
I thought... It's funny, though.
Yours wasn't terrible, Kevin.
Thank you!
It's a play on words.
'Éclat-table'. [a splintered table]
I'll give it to you.
It is actually funny.
Okay! So... The points!
The points! Well, Antoine,
I sympathise a lot with Tammy.
5 points. - Yes! Oh, yeah!
Those weren't very good.
You have many talents, but that's not one of them.
Phil, I'm very excited to see
how much money you'll raise
for the Véro & Louis Foundation.
4 points.
What?
It's, like... I do research...
Mona, I'll give you 3 points, and you're lucky to get those,
because you insulted a woman
I really like: Marie-Lyne Joncas.
Yes, you're gonna give me... - Marie-Lyne: 1 point.
I don't like you that much.
And 2 to Kevin.
That's not too bad.
How many did you get?
Two!
He got two?
Antoine, are you trying to calculate who is in the lead?
Yes.
There's nothing to add up. It's Tammy.
Yes, well, it is Tammy.
Well done.
Okay, good. Let's see the first task of the evening.
An ovarian transport task.
Alright... Ah! Oh!
You're there? You're not downstairs? Uh-oh...
Come get your auntie.
Of course, of course.
Come this way!
Lotta boxes, here.
Yes, Madam.
There are some eggs.
So, "Land the most egg in the frying pan."
I already love this.
"You may not throw any egg."
"You must stay on this side of the fence."
Is there a frying pan on the other side of this fence?
Where is there a frying pan?
Well, where's the frying pan?
Um, your observational skills... - Ah, shit! Ha, ha, ha!
Are you insane?
I have to throw the eggs and they can't break?
You can't throw the eggs.
"You may only use the contents of one of these boxes."
One box!
Ha, ha! "You have 20 minutes, or until you run out of eggs."
So, three eggs.
When does your time start?
"Your time starts now." Man. God damn!
Okay, we've got some balloons...
Oh, come on! I mean, really.
Oh! Helium?
There are some blocks; there are other boxes.
PVC pipes or long wooden sticks and cords.
Bro, are you guys for real, man?
Are you guys for real?
Okay!
Easy enough. Well, easy enough, but involved.
They had to get eggs into the pan using
the contents of the box in front of them.
They had to choose a box and use the material in it
in whatever way they wished, to try to
get the most egg possible into the frying pan.
Let's start with Mona and Marie-Lyne's attempts.
I'm opting for the Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu
International Balloon Festival, [annual hot-air balloon festival]
where I'm from. Okay!
Jesus Christ! What if we line them all up...
Antoine, I'm gonna go with Box B.
Ah!
Pfff!
The good lord gave me teeth
so I could make little eggs fly.
Clearly this thing doesn't come with scissors.
No...
Shit! I'm aiming right at it.
Ah!
This will never be enough to make an egg fly.
Does it float?
Yeah, yeah, yeah... - It's taking a dive.
We'll make four others.
Wow!
Oh, yeah.
I'm getting somewhere! I'm getting somewhere!
Ah!
This is making me sick!
Because it needs to get to the pan, you know?
And the wind is blowing the other way.
The wind is against us.
Take this like this.
Yes.
We're gonna put a long piece down.
Right there. Here.
We're gonna put this through here.
That way we'll have some control over things.
Like, if we let this go... - Okay!
I'm gonna... It's possible that we don't have enough balloons.
Ah, cripes! It's really...
This is what we call 'precarious'.
It's a real science, eh, aviation?
No, no! Over there!
Ah! Aaah! Ha, ha, ha!
This is fun!
Okay, you've got this. We've fucking got this!
This is quite pleasant... - The wind! It's the wind!
It's just that it isn't long enough.
That's the damned thing, eh?
We'll get there.
Hang on a sec; don't move.
You fucking...! Ah!
I know that I'm not allowed to go down there,
but I'd like to ask you to go down there, just to prop it up.
Ah fuck!
Okay, one fewer.
You gotta get rid of dead weight, sometimes.
Ah, wow!
The structure, wow!
Oh boy... Oh boy...
It won't be long, Antoine.
Blow! Blow!
Fucking hell! I'm getting angry!
There! Garbage!
I've got it. I've got it.
Hang on. Don't move.
Okay!
Take that, you bastard!
Take that! Pfff!
Come on!
It's done. It's finished.
Okay, Antoine?
Okay!
Yeah! Ha, ha, ha!
Antoine!
Why did you let go?
Because I'm happy!
I don't need two!
"The most egg..."
Oh, it was "The most..."?
Yeah...
You should have done that with the others.
Okay, first off, I'd like to say thank you to the person
bleeping out the curse words.
That person is working really, really hard.
Oh, he's sweating.
Really sweating with Mona.
Marie-Lyne, once you got one in, you gave up?
Yeah, yeah that's it.
Hey, honestly, I don't mind.
I was proud of that.
I might have been the only one
who successfully completed that one, so... - I think that's probably true.
Hallelujah! That just might have gotten me 5 points, you know?
Okay. Will one egg be enough to win this task?
We'll find out after the break.
Oh!
Ah!
Ah-ha!
Ah...
Ah-ha...
It's holding. - Oh look! Pretty good.
That's good!
Well done!
You guys are good!
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
We're in the middle of an egg transport task.
We've had one highly successful attempt from Marie-Lyne.
Oh yeah!
With one egg.
They had to choose a box and use the materials inside
to get the most egg into a frying pan about
5 metres away from them.
They had to get the most egg into it.
Let's see Kevin, Phil, and Tammy's attempts now.
Did they do better?
I'm looking forward to seeing this.
Geez, man!
This one or that one?
How will I...
Well, this... Can I try something first, before choosing?
Okay, yes. Of course.
I don't think the eggs fit into this.
So I think this is a red herring. Exactly.
Okay, pipes, Box C.
Box C? Perfect.
It's the only box with tape in it?
Okay, we'll try this. I'm taking this.
Box D!
Box... D!
Okay!
So, there's some wood.
There's wood and cords.
One foot, two feet, three feet.
Would you say this is about three Guillaume Latendresses, [Canadian former pro ice hockey player]
or four Guillaume Latendresses?
Guillaume Latendresse must be about six feet tall, right? [he is 188cm/6ft 2in]
With or without skates?
Were you in the Boy Scouts Kevin?
No.
I'm looking at your knot, there...
Do you think it'll hold?
Um...
If you hold this, here like this.
Yeah, okay.
Then you can roll the egg down.
Oh, yeah, that's good. Yeah, yeah.
Hey, it may make it all the way.
It's three Guillaume Latendresses, in the end.
Let's try this again.
Oh, come on!
Okay, here goes nothing.
Oh...
Well... Eee! Oh no. It's not working!
So you're working on something new, there?
I'm trying... to make a...
Tying the egg...
This has to hold.
Right, okay.
Ah!
Ah-ha!
Ah...
Ah-ha...
Ah-ha!
It's holding. - Oh look! Pretty good!
That's good.
Did you think this would work?
Um... - The fulcrum, kinda?
Well, uh...
Do the eggs fit inside the pipes?
Of course they fit inside the pipes.
Of course, surely... Ha, ha, ha...
Hmm... okay, well, that's it.
Admitting failure isn't a bad thing.
I should have thought more about this.
Better to laugh about it, eh?
Better to laugh about it, as they say.
Now we're going to try to...
to try to, you know...
...solidify this thing.
What if I threw this?
It's here.
Argh! That's too far!
Aaah!
No!
Ugh!
Ugh! Ugh!
I'm gonna try with my hands.
Okay.
My arms hurt, Philippe... - Oh no!
If I kick it, that's not throwing.
Can you count me down?
Three... two... one...
Okay, I've stopped the time.
Yo, you've gotta be kidding me.
Oh my goodness.
That was funny.
I remember that during that task I asked myself,
"Why did I agree to do Taskmaster?"
I was fuming!
Well, I believe you.
I was so uncomfortable.
I wanted to rip up the contract.
You should have spat on the egg. It's cathartic.
That felt good, didn't it?
Yeah, I saw you...
Kevin, you felt the same way, I imagine?
Dude, I felt that way on the first task of the first day!
Damn!
You're the only one whose egg moved backwards in the process.
Well, that should get me something.
I was going for a cowboy, lasso thing.
Okay!
So, I tied the string to it. And I went...
That's precise. That was precise.
No, but I was going for Lucky Luke. [Belgian comic book cowboy]
Yeah, yeah, we saw that.
We saw it, Kevin!
He was going for Lucky Luke.
I was going for Lucky Luke, man!
And... Damn!
That's what we saw in the video, Kevin.
I'd like to see what our conversations
with Kevin look like, verbatim.
No, but the description... - We salute you!
The subtitlers; we salute you!
The people doing the subtitles. [Hello!]
A beautiful disaster, Phil.
Shit.
When you tried to pick it up
with your hands and thought it was going to work.
I believed it. We propped the pipe up against the pan.
Everything was going well. Click! Fucking thing!
Ah, we were close.
Three huge failures.
And I'm not talking about the task.
So I'm the only one with 5 points,
and the others get zero?
Marie-Lyne is the only one who got some egg in the pan.
How will you distribute the points? - Yes! I worked hard.
Well, obviously, 5 points to Marie-Lyne.
For the effort? For the effort?
No, no!
And zero for the others.
What?
You failed.
I made my egg fly.
It was the best day of its little life.
The people of Saint-Jean, your hometown,
are ashamed right now.
They're proud! It made it to the top of the frying pan.
No, no; it travelled!
It saw the world. - On top of the pan...
It didn't work.
Zero for the others.
So, as a result of this exceptional score,
Marie-Lyne is in the lead.
Yeah!
She worked hard!
Let's have a second task right away.
It's a business task gone coco-nuts!
Ah!
Ah! Okay!
Come on, Phil!
Oh no, okay!
You got me.
A briefcase full of money; you know me well.
I was in organised crime for a few years.
Oh, yeah? - They haven't caught me yet.
It's the drag costume. Incognito.
Underneath, it is a hardened criminal.
How do I open this, though?
Do I have to find the code?
Ah, that must be the task.
Do I have to put in a code? No!
Ah! There's no code.
Ha, ha, ha!
Ah! Okay! Alright, coconut.
So, so, so, so...
"Make this coconut look like a businessman."
A businessman?
What?
"You have 10 minutes to plan your transformation,"
"and 10 minutes to execute it."
"Your time starts now."
I have to turn this into a businessman?
Okay. So I need to give him eyes and mouth?
It's kind of like arts and crafts, then.
Hey, man, this is so silly.
Indeed it is arts and crafts.
Yes; such enthusiasm. - Oh dear.
There you go. Very simple.
Let's see the first effort. Phil's.
Hello, Antoine!
Ah! Mister Coconut!
Sorry I'm late.
Please have a seat.
Thank you.
So, as you know,
I am 'Nicocolas' Duvernois. [Nicholas Duvernois is a Quebecois entrepreneur]
"Dragons' Den." I'm prepared to make you an offer.
Can you go over your business idea, again?
Uh... I sell ties.
Yes, that's it. The online tie shop.
Exactly.
I have an offer for you,
because I'm a terrible businessman.
Can you open my briefcase, please?
The offer is inside.
Pfff...
It's my pleasure to offer you C$150 cash...
Ooh!
...in addition to my World Elite credit card.
So, do we have a deal, Mister Vézina?
Certainly, Mister Coco!
Perfect!
A child at play.
So pure.
That was me in the role of... - No way!
I know that's confusing.
You did well.
And the businessman was 'Nicoco' Duvernois?
'Nicocolas', please!
'Nicocolas'.
'Nicocolas' Duvernois.
Hey, these guys did years of improv,
and that's the best they could do?
It's adorable.
I don't think anyone can really
appreciate that unless they're stoned.
That would take it to the next level.
How's your tie business going?
That could go viral within a certain population.
Oh!
So...
Let's move on to Kevin's businessman.
Can you present your businessman to us?
Jean-Robert,
businessman from Laval. [suburb north of Montreal]
Cryptocurrency worker.
Ah, he's in crypto?
Yeah!
Is he often in pyjamas?
Those aren't pyjamas. - Oh, sorry.
That's his Friday look. Casual Fridays.
Oh... - Pyjama chic.
He can't put anything in his briefcase,
because he needs to sit in it?
No, no, no.
In cryptocurrency, it's not what you think it is.
It's not a briefcase; it's an opportunity.
Oh!
Jean-Robert, Laval businessman,
at your service.
Yes, I'd trust him.
Ah, well done, Kevin!
Wow. - Jean-Robert.
Jean-Robert, Laval businessman.
Seems like you know him.
What a magnificent smile!
Shout out to Jean-Robert!
You're as happy as a prince!
I think you're so handsome. - He's endearing!
A dangerous salesman, himself.
No, no, no, it's an opportunity.
I grew up in Saint-Michel! [Montreal neighbourhood across the river from Laval]
Shout out, guys!
Did you shout out Saint-Michel?
Yes! Saint-Michel, all day!
We're going to take a break,
to respond to complaints from the
Quebec Board of the French Language.
I learned how to do that at a very young age.
Just a little, like, "Hello, Louis Morissette."
Make Phil speak.
"Hello, Louis."
I can't believe that we're doing this.
No, I have to save this for special occasions.
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
We've seen 'Nicocolas' Duvernois
and Jean-Robert, Laval businessman.
In crypto.
Yes, because they had to transform
a coconut into a businessman.
So we've had two interesting efforts thus far.
Let's have a look at Marie-Lyne's now.
I've made my businessman.
Okay!
Do you want me to introduce you to him?
I'd like that. - Well, you know him very well.
Yes, it's Louis Morissette.
Ah, it's... - He's a businessman!
...charming.
Look, Louis, how handsome you are.
And look here; he has a mobile phone.
He has a mobile phone and a tie.
Yes, because he works very hard.
He always wears a watch to see... - A gold one.
Absolutely. And his beautiful green shoes that he adores.
I know you're going to tell me that his head's too big;
but that's true in real life, too, so... - No, that's true. That's true.
I think it's perfect.
And he's wearing a coconut?
Yes! What do you think?
I think he looks great.
He's tired, these days.
He works a lot. - His job is very demanding.
Oh, what's that I hear?
Someone's knocking.
Hold Louis while I go see who it is.
Maybe someone is... - Dear Louis, my goodness,
you're so tense. Don't move.
Ah, of course!
Who's that?
Well, you know her, too.
It's Véro! [Louis' partner, Véronique Cloutier]
Hey, Véro! - Véro is never too far.
She's also a businesswoman.
You're right.
I found "businessman" to be a little sexist.
So, businessman and businesswoman.
Véro and Louis, as in love as ever.
Look. - They're holding hands.
They're holding hands, in business as in love.
Ah, well done.
There you go! My businessman and businesswoman.
That'll get me more points, surely?
Very good, Marie-Lyne!
I love it!
Very good!
I love it, I love it, I love it!
I didn't have enough coconuts to make their kids.
But honestly, Marie-Lyne, when I saw the task,
I knew... I was sure you were gonna go that route.
That I was going to make Louis Morissette?
That you were going to make... - The man of my dreams?
No, no, no.
So that's why I've prepared this in response:
'Marie-Lime' Joncas.
'Marie-Lime'!
And the teeth are smaller than they are in real life.
These are your real teeth.
So, there you go: 'Marie-Lime' Joncas.
'Marie-Lime'!
'Marie-Lime'?
'Marie-Lime' Joncas!
I like it!
Maybe she knows 'Nicocolas' Duvernois?
Yes, he's a dear friend.
We do big business together.
That's magnificent.
The proportions are accurate.
Yes!
We have to move on, Louis.
Let's have a look at Tammy's now!
May I present Coconut Chanel.
Oh!
And she speaks. You can ask her some questions.
Who made your outfit?
Ah, the woman behind me.
Yes, that's true. I did.
Tammy, who or what inspired you?
Well, the designer Chanel.
Yes, that's it. I was going to answer.
The designer Chanel.
I really tried to reproduce Chanel, just as...
Yes, the bag. - Yes, I was going to answer.
It's the bag.
The famous handbag with the logo of...
The Chanel logo.
Yes, that's what I was gonna say.
The Chanel logo.
Are you alright?
What?
No, no, I mean... Are you okay?
I'm doing very well.
I'm also doing very well.
Okay, okay, sorry. I thought you were...
Thanks, Tammy. Thanks, Coconut Chanel.
Coco Chanel.
There was an extra level of difficulty, there.
You're a ventriloquist?
Ventriloquism. Yes, I learned how to do that.
I'm from Québec [City] and not Laval.
I'm from Québec and
I learned how to do that at a very young age.
Just a little, like:
"Hello, Louis Morissette."
Make Phil speak.
"Hello, Louis."
I can't believe that we're doing this.
No, I have to save this for special occasions.
Thank you.
There's just one businessman left to see,
and it's Mona's.
Mm-hmm-hmm..
["Secretary Mona"]
1 + 7 is 8.
Yes; come in!
Ah, Mister Vézina, you wanted to see me!
Mona, this isn't working!
It isn't?
Well, come on over here.
Come to my desk.
Follow the sound of my voice.
Yes, that's it. Follow the...
Your 4% [severance pay], Mona.
My 4... 4... What?!
My 4% of... of my job?
I'm fed up!
Why are you firing me?
Mona... This can't go on.
My wife suspects something.
I knew it.
I knew my perfume would clash with your delicious
coconut fragrance.
She asked me to choose.
I'm sorry!
You're choosing your wife?
Of course! Do you think I really had a choice?
I've given my life to this... this...
blow-up doll company!
I've given my life!
Yes! You were even our first model.
Yes, I know!
We based it on you.
It works really well.
Yes, people love it.
Look, I'll even re-pose for it.
Can we get T-shirts of that?
For real!
Yes. We might make some team shirts
with that face on them.
Please!
Heavy is the head that wears the crown of creativity.
Antoine and I are acrobats.
The world is our stage.
Our life is a skit. Thank you, goodnight.
Oh my god; was that scripted?
That was like watching Démons du midi. ['Mid-Life Crisis', Quebec variety show]
Hang on; that was fantastic.
Well done, well done. I need to give out some points.
Well, look; here are all five of the businessmen and businesswomen.
So you can... - I did both...
Just saying; I made both a man and a woman.
We have a man and a woman, we have Coco Chanel, we have...
Coco Chanel, though...
We can't see the coconut behind it, you know?
Occluding it with a photo doesn't mean it becomes...
You know, if I put a photo of Brad Pitt on Antoine,
he's not gonna become Brad Pitt, Tammy. Right?
We've tried that.
I really liked Jean-Robert, Laval businessman, a lot.
And I was a little afraid of him, too,
at the same time. 5 points.
5 points!
I'll give 4 points to 'Nicoco' Duvernois.
He'll be happy with that.
I'll tell him!
3 points for Véro and Louis.
2 points to Mona. And 1 point to Tammy.
2 points to Mona; 1 point to Tammy.
It's okay.
He doesn't like skits.
After this task, Marie-Lyne is in the lead!
Well done.
"But things could change, after the break"?
No.
No, no, no.
Because I think we're ready for another task.
Really?
A height and cardboard task.
Heels! What a bad idea.
I feel like Snow White.
Hi everyone!
Where's the task?
Eh?
There's no envelope anywhere.
In the box? Ha, ha!
Merry Christmas! Ah!
This is fun. It's kind of like my birthday every day.
You know how I like to open my boxes?
No; show me.
Always like this.
Ah-ha! You're a rascal, Antoine.
No!
Ah... In a box, on boxes.
"Build the highest tower."
"You have five minutes from when your first box is assembled,"
"and a maximum of 20 minutes from now!"
The highest tower?
Yeah.
Okay!
They had boxes. They had to build a tower.
Exactly. 20 minutes, or five minutes from when
the first box is made.
Yes.
I noticed that the two men
were in a different location.
Yes. The weather was abysmal that day.
So to make it fair, we set them up inside.
Did that put them at an advantage,
or a disadvantage, Antoine?
We'll find out after the break.
Oh, come on!
You would have definitely been in the lead otherwise.
Well, you know, I mean...
I try to move forward in life
and not dwell on the past.
But it was really hard not to do that, there.
Yeah, because we just showed it to you.
Okay, good.
Welcome back to Taskmaster,
and a task in which our contestants
had to create a tower of cardboard boxes.
Yes. Let's have a look at
Phil, Tammy, and Marie-Lyne's towers.
Oh...
Okay, the highest tower.
The highest tower.
Is the wind gonna be on my side?
Eiffel...
The Eiffel Tower.
Wait... Ah, there's tape!
Five minutes!
Ha, ha, ha...
You know; it's a tower.
Ah... should I do the thing of...
assembling the boxes?
Okay, new idea!
Ha, ha...
I'm guessing this will get harder at some point?
That's pretty good.
This seems logical.
Okay! This is great!
I think this'll work.
I like making boxes.
I feel like I forgot how to close up boxes.
One on top of the other, on top of the other...
These boxes are sturdy, you know?
Mm-hmm!
I need to say it.
Oh! Okay.
Do you need help? - No!
You know...
Hey, this looks pretty damned slapsticky.
Look how good I am at stacking my boxes.
Yeah!
That's training.
Ideally I would... - 30 seconds!
...put them on there.
I feel like I'm in 'Cirque du Soleil'.
So dumb...
Five seconds.
No!
Four... three... two... one...
Time's up.
That went well.
What? What is it?
I should have left it as it was.
Of course; it was higher.
Marie-Lyne, you...
You would have been better off not touching anything.
I messed up. I really messed up.
I'm still mad at myself.
I've had horrible, horrible, horrible nights.
You woke up in a sweat... My god. It was hell.
And Tammy... - It went well.
Yeah, but...
Yeah, there was a fall.
Can we see the fall?
No!
A fall right after the person sitting to my left said, "Can I help you?"
Is she often like that?
You offer her help and she's, like...
No, but I get it.
She wants to achieve it herself.
And I'll tell you that, for now,
hers is the highest tower.
It's Tammy's!
Oh for real?
Yes!
With a 4-metre tower.
Alright!
Phil's was next at 2.5 metres.
And Marie-Lyne's second tower was 2.15 metres tall.
You would have definitely been in the lead otherwise.
Well, you know, I mean...
I try to move forward in life,
and not dwell on the past.
But it was really hard not to do that, there.
Yeah, because we just showed it to you.
Okay, good. We've yet to see Kevin and Mona's towers.
Yes! Let's have a look at them now.
Ah... There might be a way to,
you know... I don't know.
Ah! House of cards!
That's...
Ah!
Hey!
Okay.
Fuck!
Gifts from the gods! Ah!
Sir, I don't have nails.
Aaah!
The highest tower of what, though; you know?
It wasn't specified.
We're going to put this here like this.
Another project?
Yes, but it'll be higher
if I use a chair to get me going.
I'm going to go up there.
Uh, how are you going to get up there?
By climbing.
Oh, of course; I'm sorry. Okay!
We'll put this here...
Perfect. Another level complete.
Because now I'm getting desperate. Ow! Okay.
I'm too scared.
Wait.
Oh... Shit, shit, shit, shit!
No, no, no... No, no, no, no, no!
Ah!
Argh!
It just has to touch it.
Two minutes.
And it'll be a tower; do you know what I mean?
Okay, so if it's a...
If there's contact with the cardboard...
A series of continuous cardboard...
...for you, that's a tower.
Is it touching, there?
Okay...
I'm gonna hold it now and you're gonna measure it quickly, okay?
15 seconds.
No, Kevin! No, no!
Nooo!
Ah!
That's a long tower, there.
Four... - It's high.
Three... two... one... - Stop everything.
Stop.
Satisfied?
Yo!
I know; that's extraordinary.
Bravo, bravo, bravo!
Kevin, you had a pretty rough start, there.
It was heading towards me quitting.
But, no. I was happy, because everyone was laughing at me.
Nobody thought I could do it.
But you did, in the end.
The good lord saved me. Ah!
Well done.
Mona?
That was cheating.
I think we need to talk.
There was a time when I was the queen of the party,
the queen of the night, the queen of cabaret.
And now I feel like Kevin Raphael and...
I made the highest tower!
No, but come on.
That's as much a tower as you are a woman.
Excuse me?
Come here.
I'll show you how a woman fights.
So, how tall was Kevin's?
Kevin's was 3 metres tall.
So Tammy wins with her 4-metre tower!
Yes!
5 points.
Should we give points to Mona for her 3.15 metres?
No points. Kevin finishes in second place!
Second place with 4 points.
Phil in third.
3 points.
And finally, Marie-Lyne.
With 2 points. Mona: zero.
Zero for Mona!
It's...
How's your calculation going, Antoine?
My god; it's nearly impossible.
We have a four-way tie!
What?
Everyone but Mona is in the lead!
Wow!
Phil, Tammy, Kev, and Marie-Lyne!
Everything will be decided in the final task, after the break!
Yeah!
Here we go. Marie-Lyne!
Alakazou!
Kevin Raphael.
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
The tension is at its peak.
There's a four-way tie for first place.
Exactly. Only Mona is out of the running here...
Cool.
...but she may still surprise us.
Of course!
Phil? - Yes! - For the final task of the evening.
"Say the name of a children's character, eat a grape,"
"then say a competitor's name"
"within five seconds of hearing your own name."
You'll hear your name.
You'll name a children's character.
Okay!
Then, you'll eat a grape and say someone else's name.
"Marie-Lyne!" Uh... "Bleh-blah-bloo"... grape... "Kevin!"
If you fail to say a different
children's character's name... - Eliminated.
You will be eliminated. Exactly.
Listen up. I'll name the first person.
And it'll start.
Perfect.
Phil!

Mona.
Fardoche. [from Passe-Partout]
Tammy.
Cannelle, Tammy. [from Passe-Partout]
Tammy is eliminated.
Kevin!
No, no, no!
Kevin is a children's character.
You can't keep going like that didn't happen.
Time out! Yes, Taskmaster?
Uh... if I understood correctly,
"Cannelle", grape, "Tammy".
No, I went, "Cannelle", "Tammy", grape... Ah, dammit!
She would have had to go again.
I can't do the games
where I have to remember a bunch of things at once.
Tammy is eliminated.
From now on, if you name Tammy in your sequence,
you'll also be eliminated.
Listen up.
I'm going to say another name to restart the sequence.
Mona!
Bébéatrice, Marie-Lyne. [from Bébéatrice]
Eliminated.
What did I do wrong?
You named the next person before you ate the grape.
You name the character, you eat the grape...
I'm a big snacker!
Error in the sequence. Mona is eliminated.
Here we go. Marie-Lyne!
Alakazou! [from Passe-Partout]
Kevin Raphael.

That's not their names. They're B1 and B2.
Ah!
No, no, no!
Denied.
Denied! That's not a character name.
There are just two players remaining.
Listen up... Phil!
Passe-montagne. [from Passe-Partout]
Marie-Lyne.
Pruneau. [from Passe-Partout]
That one was said already.
No, that was Cannelle.
Phil.
Okay, I'll go with... Fanfreluche.
You said that one already.
I did?
You said that one.
Marie-Lyne!
Ah!
Woo!
Okay!
So, we have a clear winner.
No need to recalculate.
Marie-Lyne wins!
Bravo!
And I'm giving her 5 points for her victory.
And zero for the others because... - That's it.
...you are the winner.
I'm very happy.
That 5 points broke the four-way tie,
and Marie-Lyne wins the episode!
Thank you so much.
We'll see you next week,
for another episode of Taskmaster.
No, no, no!
Don't break anything!
As promised at the beginning of the episode,
Phil Roy raised C$250 selling his junk
for the Véro & Louis Foundation.
Thank you so much, Phil.
Oh!
