Sam is fast becoming my favourite this series.

Especially since I discovered this video the other day, which I think might be my favourite song of 2023

I, like Sue, assumed she was in the clear since she completed her task. But it was still very moving how Sue graciously accepted it right away and just happy to help a friend. Julian's comment about LGBT community in conclusion just topped it off. I didn't expect Taskmaster to make me feel teary.

I was a bit surprised that no-one had heard of the candle trick.

I feel Lucy's stories must end up mostly on the cutting room floor.

I thought that Perkins thought she was safe at the end because she'd completed her task.

If the outtakes are anything to go by, they do.

I think the candle trick was possibly also inspired by Katherine Ryan's Champion Of Champions task of "perform a miracle".

You'd think more of the contestants would have watched the show before coming on. I suppose there is quite a lot of it nowadays.

I think unless they're competitive like Ed, Rose, Dara, James, etc, they would prefer to show up less prepared for more comedic effect. Also to be fair, Katherine bashed out several random miracles in a small space of time, I barely remember it myself, as a die hard TM fan.

I think we're missing a tonne of Lucy's "thought process" from the "we have to move on" that seems to happen after her prizes.
