Ed Gamble not having a second episode of champion of champions to recover and win is just wrong. It took Josh two episodes to win the first Champions and I'm confident Ed would have pulled it out.
Well Josh didn't do bad in episode 1 at all, he was one point behind Katherine and just very consistent overall. In fact, he didn't win a single task in the second episode yet still won the episode and the series. Plus Ed could have won with the live task which was an all-or-nothing if I remember right.

Hi taskmaster hugemongous fan from Australia. I feel like because taskmaster is not very famous here if you can can you make the show more accessible here because basically no one has binge and I love the show and would like to share it with my friends and other family members?!
Are they too specific? Eye-ware…face-ware…head-ware. 2 steps removed, so depends on how Greg is feeling versus how much of a story the contestant can tell.
The contestants are always sat in the alphabetical order of their first names. Effectively buy it for the person on your left and Victoria gets it for Alan.
I guess it all depends whether you list your letters from top to bottom or bottom to top. I'm with you, though. I thought it was a bit confusing. If you number the letters of the alphabet, a lower letter would come before. They could have phrased that much better.
They did, and it was unwatchable. Lisa Lampanelli was a screeching nightmare. There was also a German version that never made it to air because every contestant solved every task the same way and it was boring and unfunny. Desiree Burch got to the heart of this during the Pop A Balloon task when she said she could have chosen the obvious solution and completed it quickly, but that's not what the show is about.

He's really underappreciated, that's for sure. He really won my heart, not even considering the state he was in during filming (injured and ill).
Season 8 may have been the worst series but it gave us one of my favourite contestants. Paul is such a gem.
It's nice knowing that despite being the overall loser, he's the best scorer for prize tasks in that series
Paul is the silver lining of season 8
Alex's little face when he listens to Mike's song is a thing of beauty.
I'm guessing the person playing the back-up music may be a member of Alex's band. Does Mike play guitar himself ?
I think Paul’s trophy might be the best of this volume because how everyone thinks it’s absolute rubbish until he reveals it’s stolen 😂
