I think it mostly has to do with scheduling; I think they do 2 episodes if everyone is free for 2 episodes, but only do 1 if that's all that's possible. Which, as you can see by Mae not being here, isn't always possible anyway. If you want it to always be 2 episodes then half the contestants would be second placers like Kiel
@@AliceYobby they’ve only done two episodes for the first CoC. The second one I believe was filmed still in lockdown and aired much later so I just figured they didn’t want to do a longer filming because of the restrictions, but now it seems the one episode CoC is the standard. Might be so they can schedule filming to do the new years treat but personally I would take more CoC over the new years treat.
As funny as the Sophie burns were in the disadvantage she chose for herself, the repeated burns of "FOUR CHAMPIONS... and Kiel" were so so good. I also loved Greg's remark of "I actually think Mae will take legal action against you" LMAO
Kiell posted a screen grab of their convo the next day to his insta story, I think Mae was just saying they weren't angry, just disappointed or something similar 😂
See, while I thought Sophie's strategy of being mean to Greg was great for "do something stupid", I didn't think her implementation was great. A much better version was on Taskmaster NZ, where Angela, on a gift task of "The Worst Thing To Show To Jeremy" (the host), printed (and read off) pages and pages of negative internet reviews of him being chosen as the Taskmaster ;) It was brutal. I think one could have been even dumber about it, and instead of going after Greg himself, go after his family. Call his mother, start out with a friendly conversation, but then increasingly angle it into implying that she was a bad mother and could have done so much more with her life if she had tried harder. Then call his sister in a panic and a rush, say you're on the set of Taskmaster, ask for Greg's blood type and whether he has any allergies, then hang up.
Kiell is a class act! He knew that he would take a drubbing for not winning his series, but he played his role well and even reminded people of Mae. The puppet was a nice touch considering he lost in part due to Mae’s prize tasks which included the Greg puppet.
I think they just have different senses of humor, equally entertaining... But that said, I agree that Kiell being on this CofC really leveled it up: Mae's energy is so similar to Sarah's (imo) that we needed some Kiell to round the line-up out! 🔥@@LinkH-w5c
It's so funny that they had to include the "don't hurt yourself of others" part because apparently in the taskmaster nz s02 they had a similar task where they had to do something dumb and urzila carlson broke her collarbone after trying a stunt with a bike and a ramp, and the task was unusable anyway because another contestant put his penis in a toaster and said covid was a hoax, Morgana is almost tame compared to the possibilities hahaha
@@milovaalafacu taskmaster NZ contestants are in a different category....I have watched two seasons now and never found a contestant that was even mildly boring, they've all been pretty unhinged! i love that
There’s something about Dara on Taskmaster that is so delightful. The fun he’s having is infectious. The way he was excited every time he shot a rubber band off of his head made it impossible not to smile!
And may l humbly add;Dara is always delightful. The fact that his standup depends hardly at all on sex and poo is damn refreshing...l loved Sean too😮 ("that's a challenging wink")but we've still got Dara and a few others who appeared on early Q.I....
@@ripdbtpoo1441 I've seen Dara in a handful of QI episodes and he's enjoyable there, too. There's just something about sticking him in the taskmaster house that's just extra magical.
When you think about it, allowing Alex to put her down was *_way_** better suited* to the stupid task. The "Series winner of Unlucky 13" was _my_ favorite.
The fact that the best compliment Alex could come up with about Kiell was that his name is worth 8 more points than Sophie's in Scrabble is so hilarious to me!
His suit is apparently covered in deep cut references to things he did his season including, best of all imo, a drawing of the bird from that first team task that shows it how he wanted them to see it
My favorite is in the studio when they call him out and seem to expect an apology and he just doubles down, lol. "I was let off the leash and I really enjoyed it."
@@OwlRTA First of all sincere apologize to Mae Martin, I had no idea their pronouns were not feminine. I would however like to point out that despite being a non native speaker I think that my English is quite good and I only know Mae from Taskmaster (that I watch on here YT) and I don't remember any obvious way that this information was shared (did I miss it?). So I appreciate the correction, but would appreciate it even more if it had been made with a bit more context. As it is it sounds more like an admonition than a correction to which I can only respond: f**k off!
@@SierraLimaOscar Well every time they referred to Mae through that series it was with they/them pronouns so that's one way you could have figured it out. That said Mae is reportedly fine with people using she/her, they just prefer non-binary pronouns.

This is fun. I didn't recognize Sarah Kendall which made me realize I somehow missed an entire series. Now I've got an entire series of new (to me) Taskmaster to watch!

@medevil1c the hat didn't need to be Mostly on Top of the head, just on the head. And we know from series 1 that On, can also mean under the table. So kiell did the task correctly.
Dara is such an underrated champion, even the comments here forgot him even though he won two times in his taskmaster career. Love him. His "stupid thing" was something only he could do 😂.
TBH I think he is the most worthy Champion of Champion of those three. He smashed his own series and Josh is more of a "never doing bad, but rarely wins the task" (I think, I havent done statsistics, but I cant remember him excelling, except for the tatoo and the CD in the CoC price task). And Richard Hering won his Champion because of the last task. Not to knock on them, but Dara really knocked it out more.
@@impeeratorii yeah you’re correct in that Josh and Richard were both fluke winners. Josh did win the most tasks in his series although only won by 1 point, and in COC he didn’t win many tasks yet won by 1 point yet again
@@iliketrains3495 to be fair, his 1 point win in his season was from counting beans in a can of beans, grains of rice in a bag of rice, and hoops in a can of spagetti-o's. i think that 1 point is very deserved.
21:3328:29 PRAISE TO WHOEVER DID THE CAPTIONS! With Kiell speaking with all the satsumas in his mouth I didn't expect them to even TRY to caption him but they did! And they did it so well! This makes me very happy 💕
Alex truly seemed to be working through some stuff on the disadvantage Sophie gave herself😂😂 Legitimately quite funny to see what digs he’d take and the fact he mostly just went with stat facts is kind of brutal.
Happy Champion of Champions everybody!! Hope everyone's having a good one. Great to see these champs (and Kiell) back! I don't care what the points say, Kiell did great in my eyes and I loved this episode. Another great Champion of champions!
Yeah, I the feeling they rated him pretty badly. I liked his aproach towards the waiter task. And his stupid tasks should have been valued accordingly as well.
I love when a new TM drops. Sophie just added a whole new dimension to Alex's personality.Alex really seemed to enjoy throwing those insults. I loved it
Honesty I think Sarah blindfolding herself and chucking her car keys ánd house keys as far as physically possible in an unknown direction for the "do something stupid" task was way underscored. That house is surrounded by trees and bushes and stuff, it must have been hell to find them back.
I love that the scores for this episode perfectly corresponded to the score they made for their series. Sarah and Kiel tied with 158, Morgana got 168, Sophie had 173, and Dara gained the most of any contestant with 184. If you add the points that the contestants earned in the COC specials, Dara is the only person to win more than 200, with 206. Ed Byrne is never going to hear the end of this.
lessons learned this episode: Dara wishes for Mae's hair, Careful what you ask for Sophie (waiter / handicap), I would hate/ like to see Morgana's vet/ gynecologist/ pizza maker, Sarah had statistically worse luck (time, Georgina), we got to see Little Little Alex Horne (puppet), and after 150 episodes, the student surpasses the teacher (Greg's insults and mean comment section taught Alex too well)
also, Greg moves!?! I hope he is secured at night from theft or vandals. cuz he is already turned into the hat/ ring toss, if only they flipped Greg over
They should bring the winners of the international versions, and one British champion, to do a World Champion. Would be able to do more of those since the shows happen concurrently.
@@enisra_bowmanI don’t think there would be any language problems. Americans & Brits tend to struggle with foreign languages but with (maybe) one or two exceptions every country that’s aired some version of Taskmaster expects its citizens to be fluent in English. Some Croatians & Spaniards aren’t completely fluent. But that’s about it. And most Scandinavians speak better English than the average Brit or American. 🙂
@@grahamstrouse1165 well, as i speak from first hand experience: listening and writing english is easy, particular when many of the nordic and benelux TV program is not dubed, but when it comes to speaking, when you don't do it on a regular basis in can be uneasy for some people, where in written form you would never guess that english is not their first language. So while yes, english is a modern lingua franca for at least in europe, it's still not a given that someone outside the british isles also fells fit to do that in front of an audience.
4 Champions... And Kiell 😅 Too bad Mae couldn't make it, but Kiell was properly hilarious in this, so it's fine. Mae probably didn't want to win anyway lol
I hope they can do an international version, even just a special like this because can you imagine David Correos or Urzila being judged by Greg? I need to see that in my lifetime 😂😂😂
Kiell still being angry about the pineapples had me rolling
It's because he was right!
In a show full of amazing callbacks, that instantly became my favorite
And Greg just completely ignored it ^.^
@@Soloman_Gumball It may have been cut for time. I guess we'll see if they ever release an outtake for it.

I dread the day when Greg announces his retirement. I know Alex is the brains, but I don't know anyone who could replace Greg.
Bless Sophie for choosing a hat with a propellor and a method that involved a hair dryer
So expeditious
Dara is such an underrated champion, even the comments here forgot him even though he won two times in his taskmaster career. Love him.
His "stupid thing" was something only he could do 😂.
TBH I think he is the most worthy Champion of Champion of those three. He smashed his own series and Josh is more of a "never doing bad, but rarely wins the task" (I think, I havent done statsistics, but I cant remember him excelling, except for the tatoo and the CD in the CoC price task). And Richard Hering won his Champion because of the last task. Not to knock on them, but Dara really knocked it out more.
@@impeeratorii yeah you’re correct in that Josh and Richard were both fluke winners. Josh did win the most tasks in his series although only won by 1 point, and in COC he didn’t win many tasks yet won by 1 point yet again
@@iliketrains3495 to be fair, his 1 point win in his season was from counting beans in a can of beans, grains of rice in a bag of rice, and hoops in a can of spagetti-o's. i think that 1 point is very deserved.
@@KusaneHexaku yep, as opposed to Morgana who won the series by 1 point because she insulted Alex in the first task 😶🌫
21:33 28:29 PRAISE TO WHOEVER DID THE CAPTIONS! With Kiell speaking with all the satsumas in his mouth I didn't expect them to even TRY to caption him but they did! And they did it so well! This makes me very happy 💕
Kiell’s pineapple frustration and Dara’s “wait what” references were great
Mae Martin is greatly missed but Kiell is doing a great job on his own. The series they were in was fantastic!
No. He. Did. Not.
He was great!
Alex really had fun putting down Sophie. 😂😂
Honestly this was one of the best Taskmaster episodes. All the tasks were fantastic.
Alex truly seemed to be working through some stuff on the disadvantage Sophie gave herself😂😂
Legitimately quite funny to see what digs he’d take and the fact he mostly just went with stat facts is kind of brutal.
Kiell was the best regular citizen to join this group of champions, this was a thoroughly enjoyable episode 😄 Everyone was on fire, so much fun!
I disagree. But we can't change history and try someone else.
Thank you for the upload! Great show and so happy to see Kiell - the true people’s champion!
Happy Champion of Champions everybody!! Hope everyone's having a good one. Great to see these champs (and Kiell) back! I don't care what the points say, Kiell did great in my eyes and I loved this episode. Another great Champion of champions!
Yeah, I the feeling they rated him pretty badly. I liked his aproach towards the waiter task. And his stupid tasks should have been valued accordingly as well.
Nice try, but we really know it’s you writing this. Kiell 😜
@@sohompaul7653 What the public doesnt know won't hurt them. Shh!
I love when a new TM drops. Sophie just added a whole new dimension to Alex's personality.Alex really seemed to enjoy throwing those insults. I loved it
0:55 love the hands in the background coming up to catch the trophy xD
"It's inferred, you can't just be stupid." That quote had me crying. Lol.
I'm obsessed with Sophie's studio outfit! Very Bratz doll make of skinned Grover!
Love this show! Inexplicable why I laughed out loud endlessly at Dara in his wig!!! Hilarious! And Sophie Duke is aces!
Love Mae’s handoff.
Kiell, you're the winner in my heart my man.
I didn't know who Morgana was, being from the US, before her taskmaster appearance and now I'll never forget her
Honesty I think Sarah blindfolding herself and chucking her car keys ánd house keys as far as physically possible in an unknown direction for the "do something stupid" task was way underscored. That house is surrounded by trees and bushes and stuff, it must have been hell to find them back.
It took her 1h 20m to find them!!! That deserves WAY more points than snapping some rubber bands off of your head.
I never noticed how Dara with a wig looks EXACTLY like Clare Balding.
Oh myyy, that cannot be unseen!
I was thinking Father Ted
I was thinking he looked a little like Arlene Foster. But also Phil Jupitus…
I have only seen the first task, but the winner is clearly Morgana's legs. Holy-effn-smokeshow!
I think for the champion of champions of champions that person should get a Golden Little Alex Horne.
Dara is hands down the sweetest taskmaster contestant of all time ❤
Aw, I was hoping this was its own season. Everyone is so funny, I’d watch 10 episodes of them.
I love that the scores for this episode perfectly corresponded to the score they made for their series. Sarah and Kiel tied with 158, Morgana got 168, Sophie had 173, and Dara gained the most of any contestant with 184. If you add the points that the contestants earned in the COC specials, Dara is the only person to win more than 200, with 206. Ed Byrne is never going to hear the end of this.
what do you expect from waitstaff? PASSION!🤣
lessons learned this episode:
Dara wishes for Mae's hair,
Careful what you ask for Sophie (waiter / handicap),
I would hate/ like to see Morgana's vet/ gynecologist/ pizza maker,
Sarah had statistically worse luck (time, Georgina),
we got to see Little Little Alex Horne (puppet),
and after 150 episodes, the student surpasses the teacher (Greg's insults and mean comment section taught Alex too well)
also, Greg moves!?! I hope he is secured at night from theft or vandals. cuz he is already turned into the hat/ ring toss, if only they flipped Greg over
@@MedEvil1c the props don't stay in the house itself iirc, you can even rent it it's a normal house
No matter who gets the most points we all know that the real winner is Greg Davies. Every time.
They should bring the winners of the international versions, and one British champion, to do a World Champion. Would be able to do more of those since the shows happen concurrently.
that would be a scheduling and logistics nightmare, which are the main limiters of this show
@@AliceYobby also language problems since english for the most are not their first language
@@enisra_bowmanI don’t think there would be any language problems. Americans & Brits tend to struggle with foreign languages but with (maybe) one or two exceptions every country that’s aired some version of Taskmaster expects its citizens to be fluent in English. Some Croatians & Spaniards aren’t completely fluent. But that’s about it. And most Scandinavians speak better English than the average Brit or American. 🙂
@@grahamstrouse1165 well, as i speak from first hand experience: listening and writing english is easy, particular when many of the nordic and benelux TV program is not dubed, but when it comes to speaking, when you don't do it on a regular basis in can be uneasy for some people, where in written form you would never guess that english is not their first language.
So while yes, english is a modern lingua franca for at least in europe, it's still not a given that someone outside the british isles also fells fit to do that in front of an audience.
Discovered I'm totally envious of Morgana's legs and Sarah's hair 😂
Not Dara's hair?
@@patpat8727 perhaps when I am a 65 year old woman 😆
god Morgana is just straight goddess
And then there’s Rose Matafeo who is the best of both.
Except for not being a champion. But still
The bit about Kiel throughout the episode was hilarious! And Alex let loose was fantastic! More of that please!
I knew Morgana wouldn't disappoint on the stupid task. I love the way she thinks! Dara had me laughing the hardest, though.
The Pineapple Defence is always worth a shot.
Morgana should have got 20 points for that last task. That was utterly demented and strangely arousing
She looked hot af 🔥😂
Morgana? More like MorGRRRna!
@@CanadaMatt ... or MOARgana? 🤣👍
She is amazing... Remember her sitting on a cake? The insane mermaid? I can watch those bits over and over.
she was the main reason I decided to watch in HQ from the moment she appeared 😂😍
too many magical moments so i'll just say THANK YOU, this is the kind of tummy pain (from laughing) i love.
Nothing I want more than seeing the bloopers for this episode. Loved all the champions and laughed my little heart out.
I am cry-laughing at the rubber bands. Every time. I can’t stop. 😂
4 Champions... And Kiell 😅
Too bad Mae couldn't make it, but Kiell was properly hilarious in this, so it's fine. Mae probably didn't want to win anyway lol
Kiell's Mae's Dad's Taskmaster's assistant's puppet is so well done. I'd say even better than the Taskmaster's one previously.
22:21 “It’s only manners.” 😂 I love Morgana so much
Sarah's final immediate gong was a very Holy Crap moment.
I hope they can do an international version, even just a special like this because can you imagine David Correos or Urzila being judged by Greg? I need to see that in my lifetime 😂😂😂
My evening was going to shit and this saved it. The Pineapple call back was perfect
only 4 minutes and I really hope that we get the outtakes for this thank you tm!
