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!
"Première Night"
Good evening, delirious audience!
And welcome to the third season of Taskmaster.
Ah, this excitement for presenting our five contestants of this third season,
starting with Alex Perron! [actor, comedian, presenter]
Virginie Fortin! [actor, comedian, singer]
Richardson Zéphir! [actor, comedian, screenwriter] - Hi, everyone.
Bianca Gervais... [actor and presenter] - My respects.
And Arnaud Soly! [actor and comedian]
And again this season, I'll be lucky enough to be working
with the king of all assistants.
Except his is a crown
of grey hair.
Antoine Vézina!
Thank you. No, it's alright.
I'm happy to be here again this year.
This is kind of like camp for me, eh?
With the bullying and everything. Just like when I was a kid.
Thanks for bringing back those memories.
Hey, thanks for being here, Antoine. I'm very happy to see you again.
Are you proud of the work you've done?
Are you feeling confident?
Am I proud? - Yeah?
Yes, but am I confident? Also, yes.
It went super well, yeah.
Oh yeah, you're confident?
Pretty confident.
Virginie, you participated in the holiday special.
You won it, actually.
I won the holiday special. I loved it.
And now, having done a full season,
there are moments of which I am very proud,
and there are moments of which I am, like...
"Oh! That's why we look like idiots on television sometimes", you know? It's--
But you're aware that you're doing it.
It's for the show.
I would so love to say,
"Oh, I did that on purpose for the show."
But no, there are moments where I was a total moron.
Richardson?
Well I really loved tackling the tasks.
I think it led to personal growth.
And I think that I'm a better person today thanks to these challenges.
Wow!
Antoine, you participated as well.
You accompanied them.
Who do you think will go home with this trophy,
that, as the years go by, looks less and less like me?
No, you're catching up with it, I think.
Right.
Uh, who will win?
Listen, nobody deserves it more than anyone else. Whoa!
Ah, you were disappointed, then?
Uh... yeah.
I thought we'd reached rock bottom last year.
No! There was more underneath.
Yay!
You sent me there.
I observed them during their tasks,
to make sure that they followed the rules
that you had brilliantly set.
You'll have to judge their efforts.
The person who accumulates the most points
will become our champion of the season. Oh yes!
And will leave with--
But... but before that, as you know,
at the end of each episode there are prizes to be won.
There's also a nightly prize haul.
Yes! So, each night, you'll have a prize theme to respect.
Our contestants will bring in an item,
and those items will serve as the jackpot for the evening.
The winner will take home all of this...
I was going to say, 'junk'.
What's tonight's theme?
Tonight's theme is:
the best thing with holes in it.
Ah! - That's interesting.
Let's see what Alex brought in.
So, I chose Swiss cheese
because we love it for its holes,
but the holes actually represent the absence of cheese.
Ah! That's right...
There's no cheese in the holes, Louis.
But we love it because of its holes.
Okay. - Ah, never mind!
No, no, that's good.
Thank you. Let's see what Richardson brought in.
Ah! - Ah!
Yes, the best thing with holes is, of course, a needle,
because it's very hard to get anything into that hole.
Yeah, but-- - That's why, you know,
sometimes in order to get the thread into the hole,
you have to wet the tip with your tongue.
It's such a hard thing to do
that it's a cause for celebration in hockey.
When a player scores, they say:
"He threaded the needle!"
What? - In one of the holes.
Hey, it seems like this season it won't be the best,
but rather the least worst contestant who will win.
I don't really wanna take these prizes home, actually.
Virginie's item.
Yes! Thank you!
Ah, I didn't think about that!
Come on! - Chaps!
Because I'm always hot, especially in the underwear zone.
So, these pants are great.
They have holes in all the right places to ensure that you have a great summer.
Is that you in the photo? - Of course that's not me!
It's obviously not a person. That's a mannequin.
She doesn't have any holes.
Let's see what Arnaud brought in.
That's in front of my house. [Quebec is known for having many potholes]
"The BEST thing with holes in it?"
That's the best thing.
Well, because it's a lovely street. I live there.
But there are holes in it.
[imitating Richardson] "And in hockey, we say: 'Thread the wheel!'"
Twice? That means that our idea isn't crazy.
Yes!
Okay, everything rests on your shoulders, Bianca.
Bianca!
This is an editorial joke!
It's Trump's ear!
That's some intelligent humour.
Is that actually Trump's ear?
Well, it's orange.
Good point. - Thank you.
Louis, we need some points.
Hmm... Okay, the points...
Well, Bianca, I like the idea.
5 points. - 5 points!
Thank you, thank you!
I'll give 4 points to Richardson, because I like him a lot.
There's no other... - I thread the needle!
3 points to Virginie, 3 points to Arnaud.
And, completely at random, 1 point to Alex.
Yikes!
Bianca is in the lead, of course.
Let's start with a real task.
Well, we'll start with-a-task- that-holds-down-the-beat.
Oh, my god! - What?
I don't remember that one.
Hello, Antoine! - Hello!
Oh, boy, boy...
Soda crackers? - Yeah!
"Say the word 'metronome' between each tick of this metronome."
Mm-hmm.
It's okay, I've got it.
Metronome, metronome, metro--
Oh, it's not done yet. Hang on.
"You may not touch nor stop the metronome."
"You must blow up and tie a balloon so it's bigger than your..."
"Also, you must blow up and tie a balloon so it's bigger than your head,"
"neatly gift wrap the balloon,"
"and eat these 12 soda crackers."
"You have five minutes."
"The person who accomplishes the most things"
"within the fewest missed metronomes wins."
"Your time starts when the metronome starts."
Metronome, metronome.
Metronome.
Metronome?
Metronome.
Metronome, metronome.
Oh! Ho, ho!
They had to say 'metronome' between each tick of the metronome,
blow the balloon up as big as their head,
wrap it, eat 12 soda crackers,
and the person who misses the fewest 'metronome's wins.
Of course!
Let's have a look at Alex and Bianca.
Oh, I bet it went well.
Metronome.
Metromone.
Metronome.
Between each tick, 'metronome'.
I know! Metronome.
Metronome.
Metronome. Metronome.
Metronome.
Metronome. Metronome.
It's like I'm living in 'The Shining'. Metronome. Metronome.
"Red-rum, red-rum" Yes, it is. Yes. Yes.
Metronome. Metronome.
Metronome. Argh! Metronome.
Metronome! Metronome.
Metronome.
Hey, there's no end, here!
Metronome. Oh, come on!
Metronome. Metronome.
Mmm! Mmm!
Memm-nnn-mmm.
Metronome.
Memm-nnn-mmm.
Mmmm-nmmm-mmm.
Memm-nnn-mmm.
Uhh!
Metronome.
Metronome. Metronome.
Hmm!
Are you done? - Metronome.
Five seconds.
Metronome.
Five minutes!
Metronome.
You ate eleven biscuits?
Twelve!
Uh... I'd say there's at least one here.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Let's compare.
It's bigger than his head.
Ugh, gross. Ugh! - Metronome.
Metronome-Metronome- Metronome-Metronome.
Thanks.
Bravo!
Woo!
Here's where we see contestants' personalities.
We know that Bianca will give her all.
I'll give my all!
Whoa!
Bianca wrapped her balloon.
She ate 12 crackers and missed 58 'metronome's.
Alex ate 5 crackers,
and missed an astronomical 103 'metronome's.
Oh boy, oh boy!
Taskmaster, we have other contestants to see.
Let's have a look at Arnaud and Virginie's attempts.
Oh, my god!
Metronome.
Hey, I can't do this!
Me-- Me--
I have to say them between the ticks.
Metronome.
Metronome. Metronome.
Metronome.
Metronome. Metronome.
Met-- Ah, I have to say them between, not during.
Metronome. Metronome.
Is this bigger than my head?
Yes. Metronome.
Metronome. Metronome.
Metronome. Met-nmm-hmm. Metronome.
Metronmm. Phmetronome.
Phmetronome. Phmetronome.
Metronome. Metronome.
Metronome. Come on!
Metronome. Metronome.
Hmm! Metronome. Mmm-trr-nmm.
Hmm! Mmm-trr-nmm. Hmm! Mmm-trr-nmm.
Muh-trr-nmm. Muh-trr-nmm.
Oh, sorry.
Muh-trr-nmm.
Muh-trr-nmm. Muh-trr-nmm.
Muh-trr-vmm. Muh-trr-nmm.
Mmuhtronome. Mmuhtronome.
Can I get some tape?
Mmuhtronome.
Mmuhtronome. Mmuhtronome. Mmuhtronome.
Mmm-nnn-hmm. Hmm!
Mmm-nnn-hmm.
Muhhtronome. Muhhtronome.
Muhh-trrrn-hmm. Muhh-trrrn-hmm.
Metronome. Metronome.
Mmm-rrrn-hmm. Mmm-rrrn-hmm.
Mer-trrrn-hmm. Mer-trrrn-hmm.
Metronome. Metronome.
Metronome. Ah!
Metronome.
Mmer-trrrn-hmm. Mmer-trrrn-hmm.
Mer-trrrn-hmm.
Mm-- Mmm-ttrn-hmm.
Mmmn-hmm. Mmm-rrn-hmm.
Mmm-trnn-hmm. Mmm-trnn-hmm.
And... stop!
Mmmt-trunn-humm.
Metronome.
Five minutes.
Oh, well.
Did that go well? - Yes, you?
Yes.
Okay.
I'm gonna have that stuck in my head.
Metronome. Metronome. Metronome.
Bravo!
Arnaud only missed 40 'metronome's.
Oh, bravo!
And 51 misses for Virginie.
Not bad. Not bad.
There's just Richardson Zéphir left to see. After the break!
Ah!
Ah, that's making me sick!
Crafty.
Richardson's not an idiot.
Extremely efficient.
Welcome back to Taskmaster,
and a task with three parts, Antoine.
Yes, Arnaud is currently in the lead, with 40 missed 'metronome's,
but we've yet to see Richardson.
I have 5 minutes.
And I have to eat 12 soda crackers.
Okay.
I'm gonna go get a water bottle.
Or a glass of water.
Am I allowed?
Does it say you're not allowed?
No. - So, then...
Metronome. Metronome.
Pwwhetronome. Pwwhetronome.
Pwwhetronome.
Metronome.
Metronome. Metronome.
Metronome.
Metronome. Metronome.
Metronome... Metronome.
Metronome. Metronome.
Metronome. Mmehtrnnnome.
Mmm-trnn-hmm. Mmm-trnn-hmm.
Mmeh-trunn-hmm. Mmm-rnn-hmm.
Metronome. Metronome.
Metronome.
Mmm-nrrm-hmm. Mmmt-nrmm-hmm.
Metronome. Metronome. Metronome. Metronome.
Ah, that's making me sick!
Mmmt-nrmm-hmm. Metronome. Metronome.
It's making me sick! - It's making me sick, too.
Ah, that's disgusting. - Metronome. Metronome.
Metronome. Metronome.
Mmnnt-trnn-hmm. Mmennt-trunn-hmm.
Metronome. Metronome.
Did that go well? - Yes of course.
Happy birthday.
Ah, that's sweet of you! Yes!
Wow! - Crafty.
Richardson's not an idiot.
Extremely efficient.
He only missed 18 'metronome's.
Ohh!
No way!
So it's 5 points to Rich.
And then, in order, it's Arnaud with 4 points,
Virginie, 3 points.
Bianca, 2. And, ah, surprise!
Alex, 1 point. - Oh, no way!
Thank you, thank you!
He's happy to get a point.
And at the moment, Rich is in the lead.
Alex in last place; that's likely to be a familiar position for him?
Will we find him there often this season?
Absolutely.
Behind has always been my position.
Let's immediately go to a second task
to get us out of this bit.
Yes! This task had me feeling like a little calf.
Antoine! - Hey, Arnaud!
How are you? - Good, and you?
Antoine! - Rich.
Oh! You have a helmet?
Exactly.
That's not a very aesthetic look that you're sporting.
No, not at all.
It's for my protection.
Oh, boy, boy!
"Lasso Antoine."
Wow!
It's like in 'Legends of the Fall'. [American Western/Romance film]
"You must stand behind the line at all times."
"Fastest wins."
"Fastest wins. Your time starts now."
Time has started!
Ha, ha, ha!
I love my life.
Antoine, were you loving your life as much as Arnaud was?
Listen. My career has had its ups and downs, to be sure.
No, it's true. It's true.
And this was one of the downs.
Not true!
Well, you were handsome, at least. - Thank you!
Alex, is that more or less your look for the season?
Uh... Let me think.
Yes, we only had one outfit.
Well, I liked the hat.
It reminded me of an artist who was well-loved.
Carmen Campagne. [Canadian singer/children's entertainer]
Do you get that a lot?
I wanna go home.
And which one is Carmen?
Oh boy.
Either or.
Let's see Bianca, Arnaud, Virginie, and Rich's cowboy skills.
Oh!
I have to lasso you now?
Oh, my goodness!
There's nobody who can explain...
who can give us a little how-to course beforehand?
No!
It's like headphone cords on an iPhone.
Come on!
Hang on... Sorry, Antoine.
I really wanna do this.
I have no idea if this actually helps,
or it's just Far West folklore.
Very good.
Lucky Luke is about to catch a Dalton brother. ['Lucky Luke' is a Belgian/French Western-themed comic book series]
Okay.
Ooh! That was pretty close!
Yes, yes, it was.
Ah, my god!
Oh, my god!
Ouch!
Okay, I got it, I got it, I got it.
Look. Look!
Look!
One, two, three...
Ah, shit! Okay.
I don't think I understand how lassos work.
Ouch! Sorry.
Ah, now I know why you're wearing a helmet.
I'm afraid of hurting you.
I think I'll be okay.
Okay!
This is the way to do it.
You've got it, now?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes!
I got it, buddy.
I'm gonna re-read it, because
sometimes I re-read them and...
I find a secret bit of information.
"Lasso Antoine." It is 'lasso'. I got that.
"Behind the line." Yes, good.
Okay. Nothing new.
Oh!
Ooh!
Woo! Nearly!
Nearly.
['lancers' = throws]
Ah, shoot!
What if I ask you to help me a little, and jump?
Like this.
And then you'll land in the lasso.
Like, let's...
But not like that.
Ah! Ah, darn!
Almost!
Uh!
Oh! Oh!
You guys let me know when you're fed up, eh?
They have been for a while, now. - Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Three more attempts, and I'll forfeit.
Three more attempts.
That wasn't bad, was it?
Christ!
Come on.
Come on! Ah! Ah!
Yeah!
Yes!
Hey!
Come on, cowboy.
When hope is rekindled...
Oh!
Got him! Whoa!
Come on, come this way!
Woo! Woo!
Bravo!
But it's a race against time.
They had to lasso you in the shortest possible time.
Here are the times:
17 minutes 34 seconds for Rich.
10 minutes 26 seconds for Bianca.
8 minutes 14 seconds for Arnaud.
And 6 minutes 18 seconds for Virginie.
Wow! - Woo!
Antoine!
Cowboy Zéphir, however, didn't stay behind the line.
Yeah, that will be up to you to judge, Taskmaster.
But when I...
My feet were in the air when I jumped,
so I never crossed the line.
Okay, perfect.
I'll let you think about that during the break.
When we come back, we'll see our friend Alex's attempt.
Oh!
Come see me in Saint-Tite next summer!
Woo!
Would you like to watch the replay?
I'd like to watch it over and over again.
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
Before the break, we were in the middle of a task
in which contestants had to lasso
my sweet little donkey.
That's nice of you. - Yes!
Yes, they had to lasso me as quickly as possible.
At the moment, Virginie is in the lead,
having done so in 6 minutes 18 seconds.
Bravo.
But... there's still Lucky Luke of Boucherville [Montreal suburb] to go:
Alex Perron.
Did you know that I've done rodeo before?
For real? - Yeah!
So, careful now...
That's a good swing.
Yeah, I can swing pretty well. - Yeah, it's whipping the air.
Exactly.
Maybe if I did it without swinging it.
I'll try that.
You know, because I'm swinging,
but I don't exactly know what that does.
Oh, wow, that's already better!
Yes!
Ah, crap! I almost got it. No joke.
That touched you. Did you feel it?
I certainly did. - You felt it.
Oh! Hey... Woo!
I've never grazed someone more than this.
Ah, crap.
There's something there... - Yeah.
...that's getting stuck.
Can you move forward?
Ah! Ah, ass turd!
I think I've found a solution.
Move up, Antoine.
Uh... here?
More.
Oh, come on!
Come on, move up. More.
More...
Don't move.
Ah-ha!
Ah, that's not dumb.
Bravo, Alex. For real.
That seemed fast?
That seemed really fast.
Antoine?
4 minutes 17 seconds.
The fastest.
Bravo!
Come see me in Saint-Tite next summer! [Quebec town known for its Western Festival]
Would you like to watch the replay?
I'd like to watch it over and over again.
Okay, let's have a look.
Okay, everyone! Bye!
Well, but now... - Move up.
Move up. Move up. Move up.
Oh, no!
I can't believe it.
No!
Oh, no!
Ah... That's too bad.
From hero to zero.
Just like your love life.
The public hates you!
Virginie had the shortest time. 5 points.
5 points for Virginie.
Arnaud is next; 4 points. - 4 points.
3 points for Bianca. - Ah, not bad! Not bad.
Zero for Alex.
And because Rich didn't follow the rules
and went over the line, it's zero points for him as well.
Also zero.
Arnaud and Virginie are currently leading!
Let's go on to the next task.
An acidic sculpture task.
Antoine, I'll be back.
I forgot my wand.
Yes! Oh, no!
Hi! - Hi!
How are you? - Well, and you? - Yeah, super!
Ah, now I feel better.
Hello, Antoine. - Hello.
Okay!
"Make the highest tower using only what's in the bowl."
Lemons?
"You may wield the knife a maximum of five times."
I can only cut five times?
"You have 10 minutes. Your time starts now."
Okay! Oof, oof, oof...
"The highest tower."
Well, it'll be a lemon tower.
Einstein!
I'm a real detective, eh?
Rich is a genius!
Thank you.
So, obviously, they had to make a lemon tower.
A lemon tower.
The task specified that they could only wield the knife five times.
Let's start with Alex and Virginie's towers.
So, this isn't wielding, this is just moving.
One...
Antoine! - No, no, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
You're going for a pyramid, there.
I think it's going to be...
Maybe it'll...
No, it'll work. You'll see.
Okay.
Trust me. Ah, well,
maybe it won't work too well.
No, it...
"Make the highest tower using only what's in the bowl."
Is the bowl in the bowl?
Well, the bowl isn't outside the bowl.
No.
So the bowl is in the bowl.
That's a pretty Neo-Platonist thought.
Thanks, you too.
The idea of the bowl is in the bowl.
Yeah.
I don't know if the bowl is in the bowl.
I'm worried that Louis won't think that the bowl is in the bowl
because he's very, like, Cartesian.
And the bowl is the bowl,
it's not in the bowl.
Ah! Five times, eh?
Five.
One.
Good thing we've brought you a cutting board.
Oh, that's off to a good start.
Or not.
I'm gonna take this idea to its logical end.
Okay, it's not viable. Perfect.
So, by elimination-- - One! - Yes.
I have two cuts left?
Uh, yes.
I'm preparing them.
I don't know what I'm going to do,
but they're ready.
Four.
Why did I just do that?
I'm starting to no longer find this amusing.
I have one more lemon to cut.
I'm allowed to cut one more lemon.
Ah! Okay.
If I squeeze them, maybe they'll hold better.
Ah, yes, okay. Very good.
Oh, yes! Now I think that...
I think I'm getting somewhere, now.
Why did I...
Why did we have to use the knife, you know?
I mean... Well because that, obviously...
It...
You know at the end of a film we go:
"Oh, no! He's not gonna make it! He's not gonna make it!"
There's like a minute left, and the person succeeds.
Ah! - Yes.
Eee!
And... 10 minutes.
Ah! Ah, ah... - Let's measure.
Measure. Measure!
Where's your--
I don't have my tape measure.
Do we get points for the process?
Yes, but I don't see how that'll change anything.
No, that's true, eh?
Thank you.
Yeah, thank you.
Bye!
Why the wand, Alex?
It's a prop I found at the beginning.
It brought me luck, obviously,
throughout the whole season.
But where's the bowl? Is it in the bowl?
Well, okay.
I think the bowl would have been in the bowl.
It would have been part of the bowl.
Okay, but unfortunately, since I did jack-shit with that idea,
I don't really care, in the end.
Yeah, of course.
But I would have accepted that interpretation.
He's gentle, in the end.
Okay, do we have some heights?
Of course! 24 centimetres for Alex.
Bravo.
And for Virginie, shockingly,
shorter than an intact lemon: 7 centimetres.
I have a feeling it won't be hard to beat that,
but we'll find out after the break!
No, no, no, no, no!
No, no!
Bravo! What do we think about that?
What do we think about that?
I disagree.
Dictionary definition... Do we have one nearby?
Welcome back to Taskmaster, and a construction task.
Yes!
Before the break, we saw a more-or-less successful attempt from Alex.
Well, mine was 24 centimetres.
That's not nothing!
We saw less than nothing with Virginie's attempt,
which was shorter than an intact lemon.
Which is a personal worst for me to beat.
So, construction and citrus fruits.
But wait!
I'll remind you that they could only wield the knife a maximum of five times.
So, 24 centimetres is currently the height to beat.
Let's see how Bianca and Richardson fared.
You'll be proud of this, I think.
Five times?
This is really aggravating, Antoine.
How so? - Well, that's very few.
Because, let's say this is my lemon.
If I want to make a tower,
I need to cut at least twice for it to hold,
because the curved parts won't hold together.
But one, two, three, four...
This is how tall my tower could be. You see?
This rule is quite limiting.
I have to think about how I'm going to cut these lemons.
Four at a time? Bravo!
Wow!
Clever.
Ah!
I have to cut... like this.
This is one.
Careful.
This is two.
Oh, oh, oh!
♫ I've got something here, Antoine. ♫ Okay!
Watch your fingers, obviously.
Two...
Ah! You are worried about my fingers,
but I used to be a chef.
This is how I got my first Michelin star.
So...
One flat surface.
This is one, Antoine.
This is two.
Okay, so...
You see?
Now I think we can build something solid.
Hang on, I have to calm myself down.
I have to do this gently.
My god, it's like I'm playing Jenga, with how much I'm shaking.
When it's crooked,
you buffer it with little lemon caps.
Bravo!
It doesn't say anywhere that I can't hold it up with my face.
It doesn't say that it has to hold itself up.
So, look.
Okay?
I cut it.
Like this.
There you go.
Why don't you hold it with your hands?
Ah! Antoine!
When working with lemons, you have to always be...
Don't hurt yourself! - ...absolutely sure.
Okay, okay, look.
Hmm! It's this damn one, it's this one.
This one's the traitor.
Look. Look.
Ah, that bitch. Look.
Oh! Oh!
Quick, measure it. Get ready.
So, the tower...
It didn't say you couldn't hold it.
Mm-hmm!
My career is over!
No, it's good, it's good.
Were you embarrassed, Bianca?
I could never be the spokesperson for anything.
Nobody is going to want to hire me.
Two, three companies come to mind, but...
But the numbers don't lie, eh, Antoine?
Tell me.
49 centimetres, Bianca.
Booya!
Richardson, 31 centimetres, including the bowl.
Including the bowl.
Because he made his on top of the bowl.
What about Arnaud? - Yeah, what about me?
What about Arnaud? Let's have a look.
"You have 10 minutes. Your time starts now."
Uhh... "Wield".
So long as I have it in my hand,
it's the same wield, right, Antoine?
Uh, depends on how you slice it,
and I won't be the one deciding. - Slicing. Good one.
I think that as long as I'm holding it, it's considered...
Ah, the little sneak!
But it's true, though.
...one long wield.
That's it. A long wield.
So that's still one?
Yes, I'm wielding it now.
Yeah, yeah, okay, I see.
You know, in sword-fighting films,
when they wield their swords,
it's not like one-and-done.
He kills everyone, and then he's done wielding.
I'm on board with that.
So I think I'll only need one wield.
Right.
We're fooling around here, but it's important for me
to do this properly.
Since you can wield it for 10 minutes,
it's probably worth...
Is there a challenge here?
This will be easy.
Second wield.
Oh, come on!
Come on!
Very, very, very long wield.
Look... I still have three more, so...
Ah, yes, of course!
Now, maybe I'll create a larger base.
You see, I'm still holding the knife.
It's super straight. And up!
We've got it.
10 minutes.
Yes, perfect. We've got it.
So now, are you measuring it? Are you measuring it? Are you measuring it?
Antoine? Or are you fooling around there?
Are you gonna stop chatting or what?
It's holding. Oh. Good.
In just three knife wields.
No, no, no, no, no!
No, no!
Bravo! What do you think?
What do you think?
I disagree.
Dictionary definition.
Do we have one nearby?
Antoine, what's the dictionary definition of a wield?
Here's the definition:
"To have in hand, or between the hands, while moving or wiggling."
He's right.
He moved and wiggled.
Yeah, he didn't move constantly.
You can't stop moving.
Is it possible to see if Arnaud stopped moving?
Ah, good question.
One long wield. So that's still one?
Yes, I'm wielding.
Yes, yes, okay, I see.
He kills everyone, and then he's done wielding his sword.
I'm on board with that.
Ah, yes, that's holding.
Second wield.
This is already leaning quite a bit.
Look.
Does it have to hold hold... hold hold, or...
In just three wields.
Okay!
Zero?
No, give him 2 points. I appreciate the effort.
I can't give him 5 points, because you tried to get around it,
but 2 points for the idea.
So, 2 points. - Thank you, Taskmaster.
Bianca got 49 centimetres; 5 points.
Five. - Thank you!
4 to Rich. 31 centimetres.
24 centimetres for Alex, so 3 points.
3 points.
And the 7 centimetre one, are you giving that any points?
Also 2 points.
2 points to Virginie.
Thank you.
He's a demanding Taskmaster.
Thank you, thank you.
Bianca is in the lead!
Oh!
What? Really?
But there's one task left,
here, in front of our studio audience, right after the break.
Arnaud is doing abstract art.
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
We've arrived at the final task of the evening,
and the tension is at its peak.
Because, yes, Bianca is in the lead.
That's unbelievable.
Yes, you're in first place.
Then there's a three-way tie for second place,
between Arnaud, Rich, and Virginie.
Here's the final task.
Arnaud, please read it.
Perfect. I'll read this right away, friends.
"Without adjusting your visor at any point,"
"draw your own face on the front of your visor."
"Your face should be the same size as your face,"
"and either very angry or very happy."
"Most detailed and accurate face wins."
"You have three minutes."
So, you'll lower your visor.
You'll draw your own face as best as you can on top.
It needs to be very happy, or very angry.
Your three minutes starts now.
Obviously, Alex thought about his hair first.
He thought about his huge swoop of hair.
Bianca is being very meticulous.
I'm very focused. The nostrils...
Look at how detailed I am. The nostril...
Yes! Arnaud is doing some abstract art.
Rich, I'll remind you that you need to stay within the limits of an actual face.
Is this not to scale?
Yikes, yikes.
Virginie, I don't know how you see yourself, but that makes no sense.
Details, precision.
Did you draw a gap between your front teeth?
Yes!
I have gap.
15 seconds! - Oh!
Okay!
Arnaud, I don't know how you see yourself, but you don't look like that.
Okay!
That was difficult.
I have to score them.
That'll determine tonight's winner.
But I couldn't really see their drawings.
We brought you some photos to compare them to.
Here's Alex.
Okay!
So, Alex is on the left.
Of course!
Identical. - Ah, but I'm smiling. That's rare.
Your nose isn't really in the centre of your face.
I'll give you that.
So it's...
We'll see, we'll see.
Virginie, next?
Virginie.
Hey! Look at that.
Oh, come on. - Identical.
I noticed that you were drawing--
The space between my teeth.
The bump on my nose.
You exaggerated the bump just a bit, there.
Yeah.
No, no. It looks like her, it looks like her.
Too bad there were two millipedes there instead of eyes, but anyway...
Bianca.
That's good. - Yeah!
You got the shape of your eyes right.
I think there's a resemblance there.
Okay, perfect.
We haven't seen Rich yet.
Rich.
That's...
It's worth noting that it was much more difficult for me,
because the crayon was the wrong colour.
So I had to work twice as hard.
Yeah, it was...
And there's Arnaud left to see.
Lastly, Arnaud.
They're the same.
What did you do with your chin?
Is that, like, a scar?
I don't know what that is.
I hooked myself, I think.
For the points, I feel like giving 5 points to Virginie and Bianca.
5 points each.
Thank you, Taskmaster.
Uhh... 4 points to Rich and Arnaud.
And for his limited effort, 1 point to Alex.
He doesn't work hard enough!
You are so unfair.
I hope you get dragged on the internet.
I've done some calculations.
Yes, go ahead.
It was quick for Alex, because 6 points is very few.
I didn't have to carry anything over. Thank you.
My pleasure.
Otherwise, it was very tight tonight,
but our winner is Bianca!
Bravo!
Joy, joy, joy!
You can go claim your ear!
Thank you very much everyone!
We'll see you next week for another episode of Taskmaster!
See you soon!
