I'm enjoying watching Victoria because although she's clearly very smart, it's only in specific areas. It's hilarious watching her have a massive lapse in judgement at some really basic things.

It humanises her quote a lot.

It's actually painful how Victoria refuses to wear glasses or contacts when she clearly needs them

That chair task was so cringey :lol:

Also I hope my eyesight isn't that bad when I'm her age, the fact she can't see a large object that's 20 meters away from her is worrying

Indeed, it must be horrendous. If my eyesight was that bad I would carry about five pairs of glasses around with me :lol:

She's probably one of those people who thinks she looks weird in them even when she looks exactly the same :lol:

I genuinely think she just reads books all the time though, must go somenwaybto explaining why her eyes are quite that bad.

But yeah, my eyesight is better than hers and I would wear my glasses all the time (well I already do)

The final task was an absolute disaster :lol:

Trying to throw things downwards that typically want to float would be hard? Who'd have thought it.

Confused why they're commentating their own sports videos, it'd make more sense to make them commentate the other teams so they didn't know what to expect, right?

I did like the callback to Joe Wilkinson's potato hole in one.

Loved the balloon bang studio task.

Yeah I thought that would be the case as well. But then given that they also had to create the game in question having them commentate with zero knowledge wouldn't have worked as well.

Still think this season is great. No real weak links in the cast IMO, they're all good in terms of entertainment at worst.

Mitchell :lol:

It's been a great series, I can't believe it's almost over. :cry:

One thing they need to sort out is having a team task as the live task. We know who can't possibly win the episode when they get grouped together like that.

The telephone call task was excellent, especially when Old Goosebumps Arm couldn’t keep a straight face.

Seeing Alan's mate buckle him within seconds was priceless.

Leaderboard is looking great - four of them within ten points.

Only just got round to watching Outsiders. Episode 2, the woman with the haircut seemed genuinely totally strawberry floated off about the whole thing. Really uncomfortable to watch!

Purchased The Taskmaster Boardgame and the extension card set as well yesterday.

That's Christmas sorted.

Interested to hear how you get on with it - I was done after three episodes.

The tasks aren't interesting enough to sustain my interest whilst keeping the cast the same.

Her call was to poker player Neil Channing.
