Yeah I've been having the same thought. Richard Herring always did his tasks with good-natured enthusiasm, without the dysfunctional competitiveness like that of Iain Stirling or Lou Sanders. Even when Greg gave him low points, he accepted the result with a charming smile. I'm so happy to see him win this episode.
Katherine not realizing that you got points for the prize tasks gives a lot of context to the season. Given the level of prizes, I wonder if any of them knew lol
I think I take for granted how good the editing is on this show, and specifically how bang-on the order they show things in to up the comedy, and then you see the murder mystery and having Richard just in the bush for the first two edits, followed by all him. Genius.

@@klaythoring1326 Sorry I mistook your comment for one of those rather less generous ones that crop up on this series re: Daisy. I see now I was hasty :)
tactfully? they literally said it was because of that - and they didn't even have to interact with their teammate in this task. didn't really seem worth it.
Apparently, Richard suggested that he and Daisy were separated not because they didn't get on, but because they were ahead of the pack in the series scores, so if they were on the same team and won this one it would make it harder for the other three to catch up.
To be clear, everyone got 10 minutes *per part*. They had 10 minutes to learn the lines of one part, then they filmed it in one take. Then they took another 10 minutes for the next part. So it wasn't like everyone had 10 minutes to learn 2 parts, and Richard had 10 to learn 4 (5).

@Atticus Johan Try FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)
Greg standing up and every single one of them crying with laughter while trying not to make a noise is the best thing I've seen this quarantine!
G Porto It had very strong classroom vibes. Greg definitely was a teacher you didn’t want to disappoint.
The teacher in me recognised the teacher in Greg in that moment. Such respect for his ability to control a "classroom"
I appreciate Mawaan pulling the drawstrings of his hoodie tight. There’s always one person doing that.
"This quarantine" ..ugh
I expected him to say that he was deeply disappointed in everyone's behaviour and that they can do better than this
instead of bringing something from her kitchen, daisy brought something from her bathroom. i’m glad to see she’s switching it up, and branching out into new prize territories!
Next we might get something from her garage!
What makes you think it wasn't her kitchen
Last week was from the bathroom too!

I love how Mawaan started giggling when he realized everyone else was disqualified as well, before adopting an ashamed look.

Everyone: especific faces and deep stories

All seven people trying to keep a straight face through that moment of silence may be one of the most wonderful things I've seen on the show.
The moment when Mawaan pulled his hoodie closed around his face killed me.
This series has been fucking brilliant but this episode especially "I love making friends" "she's like a fucking wasp" and Johnny falling over was too great
He just rolls out of it as well - nearly no loss in speed. That has for sure happened before. Hilarious.
I wonder if that was before or after he fell off/through the ladder!
I mean... Johnny in his little turtleneck... so precious...
And always looks so disappointed when he doesn't do well. He really tries so hard and is so genuine!
The scene with only Richard Herring's is peak Richard Herring.
It almost makes me think Alex designed it for him specifically.
It wouldn't shock me if Richard had a much less busy schedule than the other contestants - he does loads of podcasts but he seems like the contestant who would have an extra free day or afternoon for them to play around with.
either way they had way too much fun writing that script!
The return of someone being eliminated for touching the red green
I literally shouted "JOE WILKINSON!" as soon as I saw that. XD XD
At least they are consistent this time.

The Taskmaster Channel is the actual hero of 2020

Ok, the Richard Herring Cut of this thrilling murder mystery is a surrealist masterpiece. Jesus H. Christ, my sides.

Gotta love colorful/silly socks with dark costumes
Do believe it's themed troughout a season. (They're wearing silly patterns this one)
They don't match! It's sad! Sigh the pandemic comes for us all.

39:11 One of the most unabashed laughs for Greg's jokes I've ever heard from Alex! He's laughing/"breaking character" a lot this series, I love it
I agree that he’s been breaking more, but being a sycophant for Greg isn’t necessarily outside of his constructed character.
A little disappointed nobody decided to throw the coconut onto the floor and wolf it down, but these folks are a little too civilised I suppose
Yeah same I definitely would've done that but then again that just means we both got disqualified

so true :D :D :D underrated comment
I'm two and a half minutes in and already losing my shit at how much Johnny looks like he owns a fishing boat and sells fishfingers.
The second they announced the prize task I immediately thought about a pad with wings and couldn’t stop laughing and then Daisy actually said it 😂
Why do I feel like Greg has genuinely had to teach with a small block of soap he's mistaken for gum before...
Because he's 6'7" and has bad eyesight. So everything looks fuzzy to him from his vantage point.
6’8” 👍
At the "chill the fuck out" I just lost it hahaha Katherine going rouge has to be one of my favourite moments of this series
Ok, but the editors are extremely talented. They blended all 5 of those contestants together perfectly.
Herring's prize tasks' head falling off at the end and Alex expression after the event 😂😂😂
I think Alex says "that's on me" he's so adorable.
U know it's gonna be a good task when Katherine says "oh no" when Alex announces the task 🤣🤣🤣
"I should've expected that." This one had me in tears! There's something very enjoyable about watching Katherine struggle to fill a net with water.

Probably my favorite moments are Katherine confidently doing something that is clearly failing and yet giving a smug look.
Ferfect Fried chicken actually exists and looks like that.
It's in Forest Hill
I thought Mawaan's painting was so adorable. Knowing it exists makes me so happy.
You mean in Porest Hill
Also...just as a side note rewatching this series, the bench Mawaan drags over at 8:34 is really cool. Great way to upcycle lone chairs.
