Decent cast, tasks seem a little sub-par so far. Although I did enjoy the blindfold can stacking.

The more I see Sam, the more I think he’s like Angus and Malcolm Young. Not just his diminutive build, but also the way he holds his mouth open in a kind-of smile, and how he moves almost like his neck and shoulders are fused together.

"Cunnilingus"

Julian has such a dryness and a sense of disdain about him. He's wonderful.

He's a mucky bugger.

Susan is so delightful. Her cheeky smile melts my stony heart.

Her "mischief" task has to be one of the all-time great Taskmaster moments.

I'm still angry she didn't get bonus points for that.

It's a great cast, even though I only knew two of them before.

Julian is hilarious. Sam is weird (in a good way), Lucy is insane (in a good way) and Susan is brilliant. The only one I could take or leave is Sue, but mostly because she's been doing the same shtick on TV for decades.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like Sam but he's fast becoming my favourite contestant. After Sue obviously!

The vase task was pure genius. So simple, but cruelly veiled.

The studio task was contentious. Sue’s heroic act at the end changed the episode leaderboard, and also I don’t think she should have been disqualified - she’d already sipped her drink, so had completed the task.

I can't remember the exact wording of the task, did it specify not crossing the red line before drinking, or just say don't cross the red line?
