Task briefs

The briefs for the task are as follows:

To Player 1:

Grab the marshmallow with your tongs.

When the Taskmaster says ‘Play!’, you have 10 seconds to grab the marshmallow.

Once your tongs are over the table, you must attempt to grab the marshmallow.

If you successfully grab the marshmallow, you win.

To Player 2:

Bat away the marshmallow.

When the Taskmaster says ‘Play!’, you have 10 seconds to bat away the marshmallow.

Your hand may not be over the table until the other player’s tongs are over the table.

If your hand is over the table first, you are disqualified from the round.

If you bat away the marshmallow, you win.

Task notes

  • The contestants remain seated on the stage, but a table is positioned in the middle of the stage, and they come up to it in pairs to play their rounds.
  • Louis rules that each team will earn one actual episode point per round won.
  • Louis’ starting cue for the rounds begins as “Trois, deux, un, au jeu!”, which rhymes, and translates as “Three, two, one, play!”. However, he quickly abandons this phrase, in favour of saying “Trois, deux, un, go!”, or just “Go!”.
