Mastertasks:

The Taskmaster says...

Mastertask notes:

In this version of the task, the contestants are not wearing a special shoe with pins in the sole on their hovering foot, meaning that they are able to rest their foot on top of their balloons without bursting them. The task also has a game-ending failsafe, should the contestants prove to be too adept: whoever completes the last instruction (popping the balloon) fastest wins.

Task brief

The brief for the task is as follows:

Stand on one leg for as long as possible, while following the Taskmaster’s instructions.

Only follow the instructions when the sentence begins with ‘The Taskmaster says’.

Your foot must remain above the balloon for the entirety of the task.

The best attempt wins.

Task notes

The contestants are lined up side-by-side on the stage, each standing next to an inflated balloon.
Jaakko’s last command to the contestants is “The Taskmaster says: pop the balloon”, and whoever pops the balloon first wins the task.
