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!
"Too Often in Your Undies"
Thank you!
Wow! Yes! They're very kind.
Thank you, but please keep your applause for the real stars of tonight's show:
Richardson Zéphir!
Bianca Gervais!
Alex Perron!
Arnaud Soly...
...and Virginie Fortin!
Ah...
Judge, companion, confidant, guinea pig...
Ah!
He's a jack of all trades, but master of none:
Antoine Vézina!
Thank you! Thank you!
You're right that I'm quite good at being average.
Yes...
You taught me everything I know, Taskmaster.
That's right!
As always, they're playing for some prizes tonight.
These prizes have to respect a certain theme.
What's tonight theme?
Exactly. Tonight's theme,
which the contestants had to respect --
you'll be marking them on these --
is, "The Best Thing from the 90s".
Hmm!
Les Mecs Comiques? [Quebec TV show starring Louis, Alex, and Jean-François Baril]
Well, obviously!
No, it's the BEST thing.
Oh, come on!
What? No, no, but.. - Not the second best. - That's enough.
Okay! Let's see what Arnaud brought in.
Hey!
Wow!
Yes! Yes!
Jean-Lou Duval! [character on 'Radio Enfer' (Hell Radio), Québécois sitcom about a high school radio station]
♪ Br-Br-♪
♪ Bring me back ♪
♪ Some coleslaw hotdogs and barbecue chicken ♪
♪ Br-Br-♪
♪ Bring me back ♪
♪ Some large pizzas and chocolate milk ♪
Yeah!
Goosebumps.
Uh...
'Radio Enfer', for the young people who don't know them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They were, like, 'Le Temps d'une Paix' for you. ['Peace Time', an '80s Québécois soap opera]
It was the 'Euphoria' of the day. Maybe a little less interesting.
A little less trashy, maybe..
Yes! That's very, very good.
Bravo, Arnaud.
Okay, uh, let's see Alex's.
So, it's a crimping iron.
Oh, yeah!
I was crimpin' non-stop from '90 to '96.
And I'd test it out on my little cousin because,
why would I burn my own hair when I could burn a child's instead?
Bravo!
Not bad.
Well... - Shameful.
You can live a normal life without hair. I recommend it.
But honestly, she'll be fine. She'll be fine.
Bianca...
Cabbage Patch Kid.
So you're thinking, "How cute, how charming, how nostalgic."
But we missed a crucial detail.
The creator put his signature on all of their asses.
And?
That was lost on us.
That's disappointing.
He had to have put, in his contract,
"I want to sign each and every one of their asses."
That's good.
I know a few guys who have my signature...
Let's move on, let's move on.
Yeah, okay. Fine!
Move on, quickly.
I'm just imagining stuff... - Move on, move on!
Richardson! - Okay.
Ah, yes!
Oh yeah!
Well, at first I was gonna bring in my Nokia telephone,
but it's currently being used to hold up the Pierre-Laporte bridge.
[longest suspension bridge in Canada, located near Quebec City]
Because a Nokia is solid.
Yes, we get it.
Virginie's item, now.
Well, my item is.. - Ah!
'Les Mecs Comiques' before Alex murdered the other two members. So...
[this a photo of The Backstreet Boys, just to be clear]
Bravo!
Louis, we know that, back in the day,
you had little blond streaks and piercings.
That's of course, J-F [Jean-François Baril] on top of four theatre cubes, there.
And Alex waving goodbye to the others, Richard and Stéphane.
We had fun.
Richard and Stéphane!
You have to score them, Taskmaster.
Perfect. Uh...
Look, I'll give...
...5 points to Arnaud. - Bravo!
Very good.
Bravo! Bravo!
4 points to Virginie. - Thank you.
4 points to Richardson.
3 points to Bianca.
4 points to Alex.
I have to show Alex a bit of love from time to time.
Uh, yeah!
I've been hard on you all season.
As people have told me. In real life, too.
What's the first task of the evening?
A task in which they will finally tell you exactly how they feel about you.
Yes!
Hey!
Antoine.
Rich, how are you?
I'm good, and you?
Good!
Ah! A little photo of Louis.
Hello!
Oh, he doesn't look happy, does he? Hm!
"Tell the Taskmaster you love him."
My god, this is such a good task for me. Ah!
"Tell the Taskmaster you love him in the most meaningful way."
Oof, no, I can't go there.
I have so much history with the Taskmaster.
I... I can't go there.
It's uncomfortable.
There isn't a little bit of love left there somewhere?
Oh, no.
"You have 30 minutes."
"Your time starts now."
This is crazy because I was already working on a poem for Louis Morissette,
so am I allowed to use that?
Oh yes. Yes, of course.
What does Louis like aside from cash and sports?
Oh! I didn't know he liked sports.
This episode is off to a bad start. They're being disrespectful.
What?
So, they had to declare... - Oh, yes!
This might get emotional.
Ah, you think so? - Oh. Oh, yes!
Okay...
Let's have a look at Alex and Bianca's declarations.
Oh!
Taskmaster and its whole team are proud to welcome
a very underrated artist, Alex Perron!
Thank you, thank you Antoine. - Mr. Perron...
Louis... Louis... Louis...
My wonderful friend...
People.. People don't understand that this V.I.P.,
Louis is a genius.

Jesus!
Antoine... - Yes?
Did it not move you at all to see her...
Were you jealous, or just unmoved?
I opened my veins for you!
You weren't moved?
No, but you were acting, right?
Yes, I was acting, for sure.
That's what I thought. It showed.
No!
Hey, I wanna tell everyone this now: those were real tears.
Uh, no, no. I was with her that day.
She came out of there laughing her ass off.
Well yeah, I had fun doing that!
I loved it, and I'd like you to perform it at my funeral.
It would give me great pleasure to do that.
Alex, you sang?
I sang, and--
But you know that you're a bad singer.
That's irrelevant. That was my love, speaking.
Let me say it once more:
I'd like to thank Richard (Riccardo) Cocciante [Italian-French singer] who helped me with the lyrics.
Richard Cocciante, what a modern reference.
He's the one with the dark glasses?
"Feed a pig and it'll shit on your porch." [it's pointless to help self-centered people because they will only show ingratitude; made funnier because 'perron' = 'porch']
Hey, we made an album with 'Les Mecs Comiques'.
You did? I must have forgotten.
I have some at home. Call me.
You didn't sing better then. - That's enough!
I'm showing you love.
Are you good? Can we move on, or...?
Yes...
After the break!
Now... - Thank you, thank you.
Thank you!
Louis, that was 100% the truth.
That was beautiful.
Did you all take notes?
Welcome back to Taskmaster, after a flying start.
Totally.
The contestants are declaring their love...
Yes. - ...in all possible ways.
One after the other.
It had to be in a meaningful way.
Did you declare your love for me?
Of course! Did you not receive my package?
I bring flowers to his dressing room every day.
Despite my being allergic to them! Okay!
Are we upping the effort, now?
Oh, come on! - Bianca, that was very good.
I meant Alex's, sorry. - I appreciate it.
Compared to Alex's I meant, of course.
Let's see what Arnaud did.
Loyal,
Authentic, [doesn't start with 'O' in French, either]
Unique,
Inspiring,
Sexy...
These are just a few words that can be used to describe you.
Louis, my dear Louis, unlike the journalists at
Le Devoir [Quebec newspaper], I think you're very talented.
You're a great producer, because you produce happiness within me.
Every time I take your girlfriend into my arms on the radio, [likely referring to Véro's podcast]
I tell myself that I'm touching the woman who touches you.
And that touches me.
Are you an electrocardiogram?
Because you make my heart beat.
You think you only have three children,
but do you know how many times I've called you 'Papa' in my dreams?
From the bottom of my heart...
...I love you, Louis.
I love you, papa.
Ah!
My son...
That was nice! And he drew that himself.
Wow! - Yes, I drew that.
It looks like me.
I used your face from Google Images and Joey Scarpellino's [Quebec actor] body.
And that's not a joke.
Very good. Very good. I loved that one.
Yeah? Let's continue with the marathon of love...
With? - Richardson.
Hey! Good day, everyone, and welcome to 'Forkmaster'.
If your loved one gets a hankering, bust out your forks.
Today, I'm preparing a meal for a person I love.
I want to show him that I love him by feeding him.
Because good nutrients give us good teeth.
Today I'm going to make a salad,
and what's better than a cabbage salad?
A little cabbage, my love?
Carrots: vitamin A.
Good for sight, and all the better to see you with, my love. Eh?
I peeled my carrot.
I'm going to put the shavings
in a bowl that I reserved for compost.
I'm making a salad for someone I love named Louis.
I love him very much.
Where there's salad, there's vinaigrette.
You've got your fruits, you've got your veggies. - And now, you just need to add...
A lemon, you know, that will brighten up my vinaigrette.
Oh! - Yes, exactly.
A few nuts. Those will add crunch and protein.
We want it to have lots of protein.
Before Louis eats it, I'd like someone else to taste it.
So, Antoine, thank you.
I'm honoured.
Bon appétit. Because I love you too, Antoine.
Oh!
Oh, it's good.
Do you think that Louis will be convinced of my love based on this recipe?
For sure. - Bon appétit!
Mmm!
Ah!
We have a portion of it here.
Thanks, Rich.
Ah!
I want you to know, Louis, that when I said I loved you,
I wasn't telling you a salad. [French expression meaning 'I wasn't telling you a lie']
Oh...
Tread carefully, Rich. Be careful.
I detest puns.
So, we prepared this a few months ago...
It had time to marinate, so to speak.
Mmm! Mmm!
It's full of love. - Mmm-hmm!
Please tell me we're not ending on this note?
We are not ending on this note. We're ending with Virginie's attempt.
Yeah, and I actually made an effort.

Bravo!
There you go! Wow! That... - Thank you, thank you.
Thank you! - Louis, that was 100% the truth.
That was beautiful.
Did you all take notes?
Okay, now I have to score them.
You'll score them.
Honestly, they were all very moving.
I'm giving 5 points to everyone.
Wow!
Friends! We have points!
Five... - Even to Rich?
Even to Rich. Even with his puns,
I'm giving him 5 points. But-- - It was all in your honour.
As we throw to the break...
I'm a comedian, so I'm a narcissist.
I'd love to hear the song again, please.
Alex's? - No, Virginie's.
♪ Morissette ♪
Let's take a break.
Another task after we get back.
♪ Will save Quebec television ♪
♪ Louis Morissette ♪
Give me your hand.
That was wrong.
I think the assistant thought himself the Taskmaster.
But we saw how dedicated you were.
Thank you!
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
Antoine, this has been one of our better episodes.
Absolutely.
The comedians are very, very, very quick-witted...
Shockingly. - ...and energised.
Let's see another task.
I'll deliver it to you right away.
Hello! - Hi, Antoine!
You're far away from me.
That's true.
You made a little snack for me?
Um...
We're at the Grand Prix!
Yes!
So I'm guessing there will be a race today?
It doesn't look like there's an entrance to this course.
Oh!
"Stand on one leg and continue reading."
"Your raised foot must not touch the ground"
"until the task is complete."
"Bring Antoine his dinner."
"Bring Antoine his dinner!"
That's for me. - You must be hungry.
Very! - I get it.
"Every time your raised foot touches the ground,"
"you must each a slice of Antoine's dinner."
"Most dinner delivered wins."
"Your time starts now."
Here we go!
Oi, oi, oi! Oi-oi-oi-oi-oi-oi!
Finally, a task in which they served you.
Yes!
Usually you're the one doing everything on this show.
Always. I know. It felt good.
So they had to bring me my meal on one foot.
Each time their other foot touched the ground,
they had to eat one sandwich--
That weren't dry at all. - No!
And it was so fun, because we filmed that task right after lunch.
We were real hungry.
And it was only 49 degrees [celsius] out there.
There was no wind, either.
That's ironic, isn't it? - Ah, yes, totally.
That felt like sarcasm.
Those just sound like excuses to me.
No, I did very well.
Well, actually, let's see how Alex, Arnaud, and Richardson did.
Ooh!
Well, this'll be great.
Are you hungry?
Yes.
I'll bring you this. - Okay.
Very good. Whoops!
I think you have to eat one.
Are they... Oh!
They're fresh.
Oh boy... I hope you're not too thirsty.
This bunting is kind of in the way, though.
Well, let's see.
You thought, "He'll never be agile enough to do it."?
Now that you see me moving, you're thinking,
"Is that Richardson or an antelope?"
What?
I think I'll leave the table here.
Well, okay! Now, it's clear that...

♪ A clubfoot Madelon ♪ [singing 'Un Pied Mariton' by Carmen Campagne]
Jesus fucking Christ!
Ah!
Well, I'm sorry.
Ugh!
Mmm!
My knees hurt!
I have old knees.
I feel a little like a secret agent
trying to get past laser lights.
This reminds me of when I used to serve drinks at fairs.
You stole sandwiches there?
Never mind.
And there you go.
Ah...
I could work in a 5-star restaurant, eh?
Fucking hell!
Ah! I've got egg stuck in my teeth.
Oh fuck! I'm sorry.
Are you gonna be okay?
Okay...
Had I known, I would have started on my stronger leg.
These are fucking dry!
The food is good here, but the service is very slow.
But it's good, it's good!
Yes! Yes, sir. Yes!
Yes! Here, on the little table, please.
Yes!
Lunch is served.
And there you are!
Ah...
Thank you. - Bon appétit.
I dropped a bit of milk here, but I can add it back in.
Ah, that's nice of you.
Done!
Thank you!
No waste.
Bravo!
Well done.
Ah...
Bravo, Rich. You took the table with you the whole way.
In the end it helped with your balance.
It helped him not touch the ground.
So, he ate zero sandwich pieces.
None? - None.
Woohoohoo!
Alex ate three.
Arnaud, four.
An entire sandwich, actually.
A full sandwich, yes.
Four fourths.
Yes, that makes sense.
Okay! So did you keep the ladies for dessert?
Um, you'll see.
Let's see what Bianca and Virginie did.
Did we cheat?
Do I have to go under them?
Or over them?
Over them?
I don't think I have a plan, Antoine.
Just taking a break, you know?
I have an idea, I have an idea.
I'm going to slide your snack over to you.
But remaining on one foot, okay?
Ah, that's excellent.
It's smoother.
Bravo!
On your sandwiches.
Thank you!
Look at her go!
Actually, I could just do this, too.
This is so much easier.
I don't know what I'd risk injury when I can do this.
This is incredibly easy, now.
What are servers doing upright?
What are they thinking?
They could be down on the ground, though.
Look!
Look how well this is going! - Hm!
It's working like a charm!
Oh! Now it's getting harder.
I'm coming, Antoine.
I can't do this anymore.
Here, take it. Oh, no!
Did I make it?
Come on, a little... Oh!
Sir... - Ah!
Your meal has been delivered.
Thank... Oh, no.. - What?
I didn't order the egg sandwiches.
Ah...
Are these the wrong sandwiches?
The ham sandwiches are in the shed.
You swear?
I swear.
I'm waiting for my order.
That's cruel.
Oh, so cruel.
That... That makes me angry.
That was pure entitled nonsense.
That is bullshit.
I can't believe it.
I changed my mind.
Give me your hand. Give me your hand.
That was wrong... - I think the assistant
thought himself the Taskmaster.
But we saw how dedicated you were.
Thank you!
You went, you didn't even whine. You got back up...
Well, you didn't get back up, but you started shimmying.
I think that might be grounds for a salary decrease for Antoine.
Just a suggestion. - So I'd earn less than zero?
Bianca didn't eat any sandwiches.
Nada!
One piece for Virginie.
I ate my little piece.
Well done!
Well... - You couldn't touch the ground.
You couldn't touch the ground,
and there was a little railing there. - Smart.
Plus, it made my ass look good.
Definitely!
I thought so too.
Oh, yes, me too.
When I bent over I was like...
Write us if you think it made her ass look good.
No, no, don't do that. - Don't do that.
Okay, so 5 points for Rich and Bianca.
No sandwiches eaten. 5 points each.
Virginie came next.
3 points, 2 points, and 1 point.
Noted.
What are the scores looking like so far?
At the moment, Rich is in the lead!
Yay!
It's tight, it's tight.
We have to take a quick break. - Let's go to the break--
But while we go to break...
...seeing as you weren't very nice to her,
Um-hm!
I'd like you to get some little sandwiches for Bianca...
...on one leg.
Go get some for me!
Antoine, go get the sandwiches! - Okay Taskmaster.
Go get the sandwiches.
Antoine! Antoine!
Under the... Let's go!
I'm gonna put this down here.
And now I'm gonna... - Oh, my god!
...suck it up, and spit it out.
I need to be close.
One, two, three... That's what I'm gonna do.
I'm so sorry.
Well!
He has to eat one.
You touched the floor, Antoine.
Antoine? Antoine!
It's because they're ham.
I wanted egg salad ones.
Can you go get me some?
Oh, no!
No!
Oh, I can't...
Uh...
So, Marcel Marceau? [French mime]
Are you ready for the next task?
A rosewater task.
What?
Antoine.
Rich!
Ah... Finally.
Our fancy dinner.
Ah, hello! Ah, thank you.
For me?
Yes!
Oh, you're sweet.
Ah...
Hi. - Hi.
"Get all the water in the vase..."
What?
"Get all the water in the vase."
"If you spill..."
Okay, that's it.
"If you spill any water from the plate, you are disqualified."
Oh, really? Okay!
Oh come on! That's impossible.
"You may not leave the lab."
I'm gonna re-read it. - Okay.
"Get all of the water in the vase."
"If you spill any water from the plate, you are disqualified."
And why is this here?
Why is there a candle?
That's to fuck with me.
To fuck with me.
Or it's because it's a romantic dinner?
Time has started.
Oh dear lord!
So they had to get all of the water on the plate into the vase.
If even a single drop spilled,
they were disqualified.
I must say that this seems like another easy task.
But there's a trick to it.
I used to date Yan England, who hosted 'Les Débrouillards'. [Québécois science-based TV show]
And I think he had a thing with a candle and water, but...
Sodium bicarbonate, modelling paste. It's easy.
There was something to it.
But I don't remember what.
Well, I'm sure you figured it out anyway.
You think they did? - Yes.
Okay, four disappointments...
...named Virginie, Alex, Arnaud, and Bianca.
I figured it out!
Let's have a look. - Why did you put this there?
Why did you put this there?
Why did you give me a candle?
Is it the old, evaporating water trick?
That could be really quick.
How would you do it?
I can do this right?
I imagine so.
That's right. Exactly.
Oh, of course.
It can't be that simple.
It's stuck to the table. - Ah!
That's the thing.
Oh!
It's stuck.
You got us good, eh?
You got us good.
This plate is stuck down.
It's stuck, Antoine.
I'm not gonna spill even one single drop.
I'm gonna put this here.
And then I'm gonna... - Oh, my god!
...suck it up, and spit it out.
I have to be close.
One, two, three...
That's what I'm gonna do.
Perfect! Look, it's going very well!
Bravo!
Oh!
I almost dropped one, eh?
Almost! Okay.
Oh! Eek...
Hey, it didn't leak.
Maybe one of them is hollowed out.
Oh!
Oh...
A straw, my friends.
Oh!
No!
Really?
Well yeah, you didn't have to lap it up like a dog.
This is neverending.
Do you think I could have gotten a straw?
Shoot!
Hey, if this isn't Cirque du Soleil,
I don't know what is.
Hm... Hm...
A single drop?
A single drop.
Is it done?
Well, I think I'm done. - Okay, well done.
Ah! There you go.
Not a single drop. There.
Oh!
"If you spill a single drop of the water on the plate..."
Yes.
Well, it's more than one.
Ah!
A single drop.
Perfect. I spilled seven or eight. Good.
Bravo.
No harm, no foul, Antoine.
Hey, bravo!
But I'll take the flowers.
Thank you!
Ah, ta-da!
Unfortunately...
So that was Alex's vase, there?
It was Alex's vase.
There was water near his vase.
Yes, that's what's called 'rose condensation'.
Right. - Right.
Arnaud also spilled a few drops.
There's just Bianca...
Just Bianca who managed--
Did I do it the right way, in the end?
So...
Oh boy...
Rich, all of humanity rests on your shoulders.
Oh boy, boy!
Let's see what he did.
I'm scared.
Hey!
Why is there a candle and matches here?
"All of the water in the vase."
Maybe...
What?
If I light the candle,
and I put it on the pot, it might create a...
Burning oxygen makes...
The oxygen in the liquid will want to rise.
You're not saying anything, which means I'm right, eh?
You silence is loud, Antoine.
You're trying to be sneaky.
So, let's light the candle.
I think the air...
The flame will burn off all the oxygen,
and maybe the liquid will rise.
Because there is definitely liquid in oxygen.
Oxygen in liquid.
Is my plan working?
At the moment, is it safe to say that I was the fastest? No.
It looks like my candle is just burning everything--
That was it!
He's a genius!
♪ My flame is dead ♪
♪ My fire is out ♪
Liquid is smart.
Bravo!
There's a genius in the house.
Yes! - He got it!
He definitely got it. Bravo!
Rich has been a genius all along. - Exactly.
He didn't know it.
But I'm a little disappointed in you.
Why, Taskmaster?
Well, you know. - I know.
We told them how to do it. Everything was there.
The clues were there.
They simply had to pay attention.
Uh...
I don't think that's gonna help at all.
Why did you give me this?
No!
"Candle on plate Vase over candle"
Ah... - I feel dirty!
But you succeeded anyway.
"Candle on plate Vase over candle"
There were two clues.
So, we have two winners?
Two winners, without getting themselves dirty.
I sucked it up well.
Of course!
It's rare to find a bigger sucker than me.
In terms of skill.
Hey!
Viewers at home, we'll be right back after this break.
So, hands on head.
Here we go.
One or two feet?
Come on, for fuck's sake! Shit!
What are you doing?
No, I'm good, I'm good.
Welcome back to Taskmaster, and the final task of the evening.
And we have a huge device, here.
We went all out on this one.
Yeah, it's all there.
We blew the budget for the whole season on that.
Who is gonna read the task?
Virginie, please.
Go on, Virg!
Go on, you're the best!
Sing it!
Yeah, sing it!
I'm just gonna read it.
"Stand on either one leg or both legs."
"You must do so, one at a time, behind this curtain,"
"with your hands on your head."
"The Taskmaster will then guess if you are standing on one leg or both legs."
"If he guesses correctly, you are eliminated."
"The last person standing on either one leg or both legs wins."
Wow!
They're trying to fool the Taskmaster.
You'll stand there.
The curtains will close. You'll decide--
We just read it. We got it. We're not morons.
No, it's for the audience.
But generally...
Generally, you read the task three times.
So we're not taking any chances, and we're repeating the instructions.
One or two legs.
The curtains will reveal after Louis' guess.
If he guesses correctly, you are eliminated.
If not, you'll keep going one at a time until there's a winner.
I have a question. Can we cheat?
How? Okay.
Virginie, we'll start with you. Please step over there.
You can do it!
I'm closing the curtains.
But seriously, Alex, don't change your position
when Antoine pulls back the curtain.
Ah, that's it!
Well no! There's a GoPro up our asses back there.
Get ready. Here's the attempt.
Put your hands on your head.
And now you're on either one or two legs. Louis?
Just one.
Just one? Let's see.
You can sit back down.
You're still in it.
Arnaud!
Yes!
Feel free to be ready before I call you up. We'll go one at a time.
It's my turn next?
And he didn't want me to explain it earlier.
So, hands on your head.
And here we go.
One or two feet?
Come on, for fuck's sake! Shit!
What are you doing!
No, I'm good, I'm good.
Come on, for fuck's sake!
Two.
Ah!
He called your bluff.
That was overdone. - Eliminated!
You did that with so much finesse.
You know me.
One or two feet?
Two.
He got you!
You guys are good.
Still in the game.
Bianca.
Taskmaster?
Just one foot.
No!
Ah, ass turd!
I am too predictable.
Eliminated! - Damn!
So, Arnaud was eliminated first. Then, Bianca.
Richardson, one or two feet on the ground?
His plan was made.
He was prepared.
Yes, exactly. He knew what he was gonna do.
Two.
Well done, Taskmaster. - Bravo!
Intractable, Taskmaster.
That was good! Okay.
Virginie, Alex. Let's go.
We'll continue until he has eliminated everyone.
Wait. Wait.
Yes, yes, take your time.
Perfect. Yes. - Breathe with it. - Yes.
Feel your body.
Connect.
Just one.
Oh!
Alex...
It's rock-paper-scissors, Alex.
Maybe you'll win along with Alex.
Do you think you'll win anything in this game?
Alex, this is your chance.
The attempt.
Why that face? Do you want to...
I'm concentrating! I'm doing yoga.
Two.
Oh!
The Taskmaster is very good.
We still have two winners, Virginie and Alex.
You didn't get him?
We've had time to calculate the scores.
It didn't take too long, in fact. - Really, eh?
And yes, we'd like to give, for their participation,
the pity point to Arnaud, Bianca, and Rich.
So, a point for playing.
For playing.
And the two winners are Virginie and Alex, Taskmaster?
5 points.
What? Wow!
Our winner tonight is...
Richardson!
Come on, come on!
Congratulations, Rich!
Thanks, everyone. Thank you to everyone at home.
Thank you, Antoine.
And we'll see each other next week for another episode of Taskmaster!
