Why would they? The wind would certainly knock down their structure. The real trick is to simply let the clock run out and keep constructing until you're happy, then go ring the bell and restart the timer. You're only disqualified after missing two buzzes, after all :)
Or just don't do it all. You only make a mistake with timing if you try and do it and it's the wrong time. If you never do it, you never actually make a mistake with timing.
I think I've said this every time this task appears on this channel, but normally when one contestant's attempt is kept for last on their own, it's usually because it's either an incredible success, or a catastrophic failure. Johnny Vegas managed to do one that's somehow both at the same time.
Mawan was the only one intelligent enough to bring the doorbell inside, the lighthouse was pretty cool tbh. Poor Johnny though, definitely deserved points as he in alot of effort.
seeing every one of them open the door every time they left the room was bugging the whole time. it’s so counterproductive knowing you’re going to leave again in less than a minute
Every moment she's on screen in series 10, I become more and more convinced that Katherine did every task immediately after ripping a huge bong hit of her own special weed strain.
Beermats are thin cardboard coasters that are generally recycled after a single use. They're most common in pubs where they're normally printed with branding for brewerys or specific beers - hence the name.
@@kaspianepps7946 I kind of like the name "beer mat" better than "coaster" but I'll never admit that the Brits have a better name for something than Americans do
I'd like to think that the other contestants freaked out when they saw Mawan bring the doorbell inside. Wish they showed that, because that's freaking hilariously smart.
I like that Katherine knocks all her mats off the table and immediately goes “sorry that was childish” and Johnny does the same and doesn’t give a shit 😂
My hot take when it comes to this task; THIS is the most tragic moment in all of Taskmaster history, surpassing even Joe Wilkinson's potato throw. Johnny's beermat house is the #1 spot for me. He is genuinely begging for a bonus point and the look on his face when Greg says no, after all his fellow contestants were pushing for a bonus point for Johnny. is one of disbelief and defeat. "Seriously?"
I agree. I think Joe Wilkinson’s potato throw, though tragic, benefited from being the first such moment in TM history. It made an impression on people that I’m not saying is undeserved, but I am saying I think Johnny deserves more.
I have a hard time still putting this on top of the potato throw. Remember, Joe was literally on his hands and knees crawling to the Taskmaster begging to be allowed to keep his points, and his fellow contestants callously said "no" when given the option to be allowed to keep after arguing in front of him he should be allowed to keep them. Such backstabbery.
@@travis303 This is a good point, but consider this argument; Greg overruled only 2 fellow contestants in S2, but overruled all 4 fellow contestants this time! It is a close call, to be sure, in any case
@@TaskmasterMN I still remember how I felt when Joe said "Please don't take this away from me." Yeah, they're one and two for sure, or maybe 1 and 1A, that Joe moment was pretty tough. I think what makes the Joe throw slightly worse is that unlike in this case, the contestants were given the option of voting to allow Joe to keep his points. Greg didn't overrule the two who voted to allow Joe to keep them, it was majority vote and 2-2 tie didn't include a majority. it was easy for the other contestants in Series 10 to fight for Johnny, but the contestants "fought" for Joe, and Greg gave them a chance to put those convictions to the test, and two of them didn't live up to the talk. They were "all rim and bounced out" so to speak :p
Johnny should have stopped while he had a few stories up - but then he didn't know how much his rivals had done. I would have got scissors, cut two mats halfway through and then pushed them together. Then you can stack them, easy-peasy.
Perhaps it's because I'm more accustomed to "open concept" homes in North America, I wanted to scream "Stop closing the damned door behind you!" Such a waste of seconds every time the contestants went in and out of the room! 🙄😅
3 minutes in and wouldn't it be doable if you just didn't ring the doorbell once and built the entire mat, then took the clock outside with you and rung the bell (first mistake), then just stood there ringing the bell at smaller and smaller intervals?
To be fair, this crew seemed to be a bit more scatterbrained/needing an assist than the others. I actually enjoyed him (Alex) showing a bit of kindness toward these ne’er-do-wells (relative to other series - not claiming I’d do better!)
It's part of the ridiculousness of the situation, each contestant getting increasingly flustered, confused, furious meanwhile Alex is there calm as you like.
I have adhd, but I would have attached the bell to my foot and let my foot twitching keep the bell ringing. It said that you most ring the bell at exactly the time specified, but never mentioned that the bell isn't allowed to ring any other time. For most others, it would be a matter of: will hyperfocus kick in our will the brain being designed to multitask prevail
Dais got called out for building something rubbish, but mowaan winning when he just made a tall pile is an absolute crime. I do disagree with Greg scoring now & then, but this is easily top2 worst decisions
Why is it that heavy people don't seem to understand that throwing all that weight around makes the floor and table shake, despite that happening every time?
They don't see it fell the shake of the world whilst it is doing it with them. So they think these things just happen around them never being able to see that it doesn't happen around smaller people.
I really enjoyed the egg in the frying pan task. It looked really hard but I would have loved to try that and see if I could do it. I was watching that the whole time wondering what I would do. I think that was my favorite of the series.

I hope the editor who added the whooshing sound effect as the light spun round knows how much of a genius they are
HAhaha, I enjoyed that, but didn't even stand still to think about it. Certainly, some credit to the editor!
absolutely! I just went back to watch it again... 7:57 if anyone's interested
Really maked his lighthouse feel like a true monument. I'm sad little Alex horne didn't make a recreation
"Oh wow its a windmill" never change Katherine
"Shit, I should've used this as a compass"
“SO BE IT.” Chilling echoes of Emperor Palpatine out of the Taskmaster.
I was kind of surprised that no one took the bucket and a table outside. Though bringing the doorbell inside was brilliant.

I thought of that, but not even immediately, & if course with no pressure
the way the other contestants and the taskmaster talked to johnny after it happened, so heartwarming😭
"So be it!"

During this whole task I just want to give Johnny a hug
And in many other tasks during this season
The only man who the tasks NEED to go well for 😭😭
"So be it."
Damn, Greg is cold when he wants to be.
i kept saying “johnny nooooo” 😭
Johnny's eyes after we saw his task, so heartbreaking!
Mawan was the only one intelligent enough to bring the doorbell inside, the lighthouse was pretty cool tbh. Poor Johnny though, definitely deserved points as he in alot of effort.
"I have a 17 year old and he's never going to speak to me after this."
"So be it."
I'm dead lmao
There was a beautiful shining moment when I thought... "Yes, Johnny... this is your time to shine"
I was so sad for Johnny Vegas in this one. He was doing so well. I wish he had been able to complete it and get the 5 points. That was heartbreaking.
I remember Johnny's pain. This one hurts brother.
I felt that Greg felt awful but had to give zero points to stay in character, poor Johnny, jesus christ that’s a defeated man
"So be it..." *shit eating grin*
The taskmaster is a national treasure.
seeing every one of them open the door every time they left the room was bugging the whole time. it’s so counterproductive knowing you’re going to leave again in less than a minute
The way Johnny kept shutting the door everytime he went out and came back
I absolutely love Johnny. Proper deserved a point for that.
Johnnys house of cards is a contender for biggest win turned into the most heartbreaking loss since Joe Wilkinson threw a potato in a hole.
This fail tugged at my heartstrings the most

No, the sofas bigger than me
Am… *I* the spider..? 😮
Had a good laugh at this. Bravo
'Look at my hands.
Haaaaands.
Woah.
Are these **spider** hands? '
Alex: What do you normally build a house with?
Katherine: Bricks
Alex: And?
Katherine: Straw 👁👄👁
I would have brought the mats to the doorbell and figured out that wind is a thing. Bravo for bringing the doorbell to the mats.
It took me way too long to translate “beer mat” into “coaster” in my head😂😂
I’m like, beer mat? Like a towel? A rubber mat from the bar? What?

@@JLF201 they haven't since series 8 unfortunately
I almost cried seeing Johnny's attempt
It was the worst thing! 💔
I like that Katherine knocks all her mats off the table and immediately goes “sorry that was childish” and Johnny does the same and doesn’t give a shit 😂
That task broke 2 people. 🤣
What a rollercoaster. Ambition, skill, ingenuity, disbelief, broken dreams. This task has it all!
Would've loved renderings of Mawaan and Vegas' buildings too.
Johnny's house is the only time Taskmaster made me cry
It's just a homestead!
"Oh wow, it's a windmill!" Lol!
I would love to have that portrait for my living room.
Ahhhh Greg's classic Eubank impression
I'm surprised no one thought to move the table. Moving the bell was clever though
Taskmaster is just genius and I never get tired of watching , just amazing

15 1/2 minutes in total for each participant.

"So be it"
But why close the doors again lmao
"So be it" 🤣🤣🤣
i was today years old when i learned that in britain, they call coasters "beer mats"
Poor Johnny
The doorbell isn't there in other episodes. It's not that the British have bizarre ideas about doorbells, this house just bizarrely didn't have one.
I have only one thing to say “So be it”
I was hoping Mawaan would incorporate the doorbell in his creation 😅
So be it 😂😂😂😂
Is it normal in England for doorbells to be attached like that? All the ones I’ve seen are glued to the wall.
These days it's all just plastic and clips
In the olden days there'd be a proper wire going through but that looks to be custom
So be it.
Perhaps it's because I'm more accustomed to "open concept" homes in North America, I wanted to scream "Stop closing the damned door behind you!" Such a waste of seconds every time the contestants went in and out of the room! 🙄😅
Whereas I grew up in Germany and all doors of your house are closed all the time. I would close it out of habit too.
This show never fails... fun stuff.
I do Not come to Taskmaster for Heartbreak!!! ⚔
I feel like this is a test or something they would give monkeys to research
SO GOOD SMART SHOW
Aw, no Eubank impression?
Today, this Yank learned that the proper name for a coaster is a "beer mat." ...Even if one is not drinking beer?
3 minutes in and wouldn't it be doable if you just didn't ring the doorbell once and built the entire mat, then took the clock outside with you and rung the bell (first mistake), then just stood there ringing the bell at smaller and smaller intervals?
Only downside to that is possible the wind and such could mess up the structure.
It doesnt feel right that Alex keeps reminding them to ring it. He never did that in other tasks like the can building/country naming in S5
To be fair, this crew seemed to be a bit more scatterbrained/needing an assist than the others. I actually enjoyed him (Alex) showing a bit of kindness toward these ne’er-do-wells (relative to other series - not claiming I’d do better!)
This would have been a terrible task for television if Alex didn't keep reminding them, and in the end he is an entertainer.
It's part of the ridiculousness of the situation, each contestant getting increasingly flustered, confused, furious meanwhile Alex is there calm as you like.
Cold.
Katherine is so sweet yet so s... you feel bad for her
Why?
I love Johnny, I love Katherine... As for the rest...
Even if you don't bring the doorbell in, why did everyone keep closing the door, i get manners but timing
I'd like to see a bunch of ADHD people doing this task. How long will it take for them to forget about the doorbell? or to give up?
I have adhd, but I would have attached the bell to my foot and let my foot twitching keep the bell ringing. It said that you most ring the bell at exactly the time specified, but never mentioned that the bell isn't allowed to ring any other time.
