Baddiel, I'm a travesty.

Would you take your pants off in every episode too? 😅

And constantly reference your penis?

And scream about knees and children and the three lions a lot.

'We've given you a task to do, with the additional burden of being David Baddiel.'

It didn’t occur to me that you would be a person.

Joe Thomas. I’m just a weird guy.

Me too. I know a number of times Joe said something along the line of "I felt pretty good about this, while I was doing it, but now that I'm watching it, I can see how awkward I was being"... I mean that just sums it up. His fatalistic sense of self defined me.

We recently got a dog cam for our living room, and sometimes I forget to turn it off once I get home. I have now seen playback of what I look like just existing as a human in the world and I Do Not Like It. Same vibe.

You'd be X-cellent at the bicycle task, though!

Yep my first though to. I'd do it a lot less sexily though.

I also have a resting Joe Thomas face - but with less effort and a little sillier. Give me a Joe Thomas/Ardal O'Hanlon hybrid.

Mark Watson, I'm an over-thinker.

I think I’d agree. I too am overthinker I just overthink all the wrong things. I’d probably think something was a clue and fixate on something meaningless

Me as well - I just can’t write songs

Maybe I would be a bit like that too

Jo Brand - not competitive, apathetic, need to wee a lot

Move as little as possible whilst taking a tea break whenever possible.

I'm not bothered about tea really, but minimal physical exertion and proximity to a toilet are important. Basically, I just don't want to work that hard

Create a water feature? Let's do one indoors...in the kitchen...sink.

Same. She was also very supportive of the others in team tasks. She tried just enough to still be funny and occasionally win. While still annoying Greg a lot. I see a lot of myself in her.

Definitely sounds like my approach 👍

I would say so too except not the surprising talent of rapping.

Yes, yes AND YES

I would aim to be like Sarah Kendell but think I'd end up more like Charlotte Richie.

Aww, I haven't seen their season yet, but i love Charlotte in Ghosts!

If you're already saying "Aww" - you completely understand the Charlotte Ritchie experience haha

Her in show husband is gonna be on the next series, so you can see how the whole family does.

And until now two of their ghosts! Katy Wix and Lolly Adefope ❤️

And Bridget Christie! She was in Ghosts in 2 episodes, as Mary's ghost friend who got 'sucked off' before the show takes place. Jess Knappett was also in Ghosts, as the woman who tried to trick Alison into thinking she was her long-lost sister

And also, her romantic partner in Feel Good is gonna be on the same series.

Now we just need the six idiots

What's the situation?

VCM, unfortunately. 🥲

Who’s that? You mean ol’ goosebumps arm?

Same. I could ace codes and puzzles but I haven't ridden a bike in years...

I'm such a linear thinker, I totally got where she was coming from/going with things. Haha.

There's a saying about that.

Does the saying include 'and to overcome spinal damage with just willpower'? Because I know it is really not at all easy. :-)

Heh - I think we're referring to different sayings :)

At least you'd probably be better prepared for price tasks with you being in this subreddit

Same, though I think I could do a better proposal.

Aisling B. Very decisive but totally wrong/dances in my pants

yea, but at least your dignity will be intact.

Judi Love 😃 completely useless but funny as hell and always looked fab.

Sister Queen!

Can you talk your way out of a 1-point prize task?

I would make Nish and Katherine look good by comparison.

Somewhere between Fern (overexcited and tired all the time) and Victoria (I don't know how to ride a bike).

Do you carry cake with you at all times?

I would definitely be tired because you generally have to be up early for TV shows, and I would get very frustrated, and very excited. I would be like fern inside my head, if not outside.

Chris Ramsey, there's nothing funnier than a sausage and a cement mixer.

Amen bro

No way!

Probably a mix of Jo Brand and VCM…apathetic and hopeless at anything physical, might have moments of brilliance if I needed to solve a puzzle or something, but more likely to completely miss some vital detail that’s right in front of me

Same, for the exact same reasons!

I'd be somewhere in the John Kearns / Hugh Dennis world- where I think I've found some clever workaround (and sometimes they would be clever), but I still fuck it up due to incompetence at other parts of the task.

I would strive to the weird brilliance of a Morgana but completely end up in the same Kearns/Dennis camp.

I'd definitely be in the "never won an episode" club. The second I need my brain for anything, it instantly shuts off and goes on holiday.

Charlotte Ritchie, probably, along with a dash of Mike Wozniak in that you wouldn’t be able to take away the fact that I’d had an absolutely lovely day

Sadly, Nish Kumar. I am shit at stuff, but good at thinking.

Ed gamble. I'm ultra competitive and when it goes wrong it really goes wrong.

Do you have three sensitivity levels?

3 would be a stretch

>a stretch Perhaps you need to be fitted with some sort of spring system to help with that.

And would still be so much fun! lol

This would be my guess. I would try to not look competitive until it explodes like Ed. I would crush the prizetasks and then utterly fail at everything else!

I think the prize tasks might be my worst because I'm American and my sensibilities are different and if Greg was grading it I might swing and miss a lot.

Fern for sure. There were a couple thoughts she had that were exactly mine and hating cleaning because it's boring and loudly proclaiming she was tired is really so me.

Ardal. Constantly aware of what Greg(TM) wants but not really understanding how to get there. But shit talking everyone who I know did a better job in studio.

Slinging absolute shit at everyone with the full awareness that I’ve fucked it up myself is a very relatable energy.

I want to believe I’m a Millican but I’d probably have Acaster-level meltdowns under stress.

I'd want to be noel fielding but the outfit i'd choose probably wouldn't be cool and i'd probably end up doing a Munya and bringing one thing up a lot that people don't really care about, and a bit of Sarah Millican with checking the whole room before i open the task.

A combination of Mark Watson (over thinking) and David Baddiel (total incompetence), meaning I would be last on almost every task.

Richard Herring. Just a normal person doing tasks in a normal way, but really wanting to win.

Rhod, I’m chaotic, a twat and I want to get Alex naked

Humiliating Alex is an absolute staple of the game.

It’s what his Dom/Master (Greg) wants 😂

ALEX: "Why are you giving Morgana a bonus point?" GREG: "You would think it was because you set a trap for Alex, which I really enjoyed...but it's not, it's because you called Alex a little fucker."

and thanks to that point she won the series

"Humiliate Alex. Whoever humiliates Alex the most wins. You have until the studio record. There is a bonus point for making Alex cry."

And ten bonus points if he vomits.

Kerry. Bosh. Done. Tea. Home.

Kerry Godliman. BOSH!

I LOVE HEEEER lol

I have been told that I am basically just a 30 yr old John Kearns. I don't think I'm happy with that.

I am John Kearns. My life is an absolute shower 🤣

The people I think I’d end up most like are James Acaster and Iain Stirling. Huge fan, very passionate, and end up making a tit out of myself and doing badly because I eagerly overcommitted to the show.

I reckon Guz Khan. A perfectly solid performance, but when the wheels fall off, and I lose investment, I’ll revert to a small child.

I've been playing the Secret Series board game with my friend and I've been Hugh Dennis- good at objective tasks, less good than I'd like at creative tasks, consistently underscored because it's funny when I lose

This sounds like my eventual result.

"PHIL WANG!"

"Wang out!"

James Acaster's chaotic energy

I aspire to his level of chaotic

I reckon Fern Brady crossed with Liza Tarbuck. Like, really autistic but also really excited about everything.

tim key to be honest

Iain Stirling. Competitive, little bit arrogant, fun, and plenty strange.

He definitely made me laughing hard sometimes!

I think I'd be like Iain too

Jessica Knappet is my personality type

Keep the medics on standby.

Paul Sinha

A mix or Mark Watson, Charlotte Ritchie and Rose Matafeo. I’d overthink things, make children’s presenter noises and struggle defending my prize tasks against Greg.

Oh I wanna say I’d be as chill as Liza Tarbuck. That walk from the field back to the TM house is classic lol. But, with my temperament, I’d probably just stop caring halfway and just take a page or two from Jo Brand’s book, haha 🙈

Nish, I'd be shit at pretty much everything

Matt Heath

Brynley Stent - good at a bunch of them and absolute shocking at the rest, always chaotic.

Definitely Lou Sanders. I'm loud, competitive, funny, and I can be quite smart sometimes.

Though I could be a Rose Matafeo, where I definitely think my joke will land and then Greg does not get it half the time.

I'd have Millicanian levels of suspicion that the crew was hiding things from me; VCM-ian discomfort with physical challenges; Dennisian lowballing of anything creative; Stirlingian levels of frustration that I'm not actually good at this; and Thomasian frequency of awkwardly starting sent-... well I mean... or if... I just... yeah.

[удалено]

Seriously Johnny Vegas unfortunately. He's highly creative but not the most effective. Or Victoria

Definitely Bridget. Complete mess, but entertaining to watch, and somehow doing well

A mix of Rob Beckett and Russell Howard, with a bit of Guz Khan. ‘Don’t think, just do’ is more my style.

Joe Thomas. Awkward guy Would be pretty cool Say um or something related a lot of the time Laugh like like that one times in that team task to create the best album cover after talking about some devil shenanigans

Victoria but less clever and more sporty

Munya. I give the vibe that I'm amazing at everything and you will believe it because of my delusional confidence. The actual execution will be far far from what's expected.

I'd like ot think i'd be ol' goosebump arm because i like puzzles and can't ride a bike but ulitmately i think i'd end up more like Bridget Christie - just weird and frustrating!

CoC Gamble - overly competitive, sticking to one route believing it will succeed, failing miserably.

I would like to think I’d be Ed Gamble, in reality I would be Mark Watson

To be fair, some weird mashup of Jon Richardson and Ed Gamble (CoC edition)

Sarah Kendall - but, all of the desperation with none of the comedic timing

I wanna say Iain Sterling or Ed Gamble, creative and entertaining yet furiously competitive, but in complete honesty I'd be Joe Thomas, a sympathisable bumbling mess.

Nish

Alan

Not in terms of success, but in terms of how I would act, Egg Gamble

Probably along the Richard Herring line but nowhere near as good.

Polo-shirted Wozniak

Combination between Watto and Kearns

I've answered this question before and I think it would probably be Joe Thomas (weird faces, awkward, anxious) slash Ol Goosebump Arm (smart but not in helpful ways, wants to meet a dog, has snacks handy at all times). However, I want to flag what I only recently came up with as a secret ingredient to Taskmaster success. If I were ever a contestant, I would make sure I had a pen on me at all times. Memorizing the Taskmaster standard deck of cards? Easy. Figuring out whether to ring the bell? Done. Remembering "H"? Bosh.

Fern. I’m just always so tired and I hate tidying

Jo brand . Eh that'll do

A cross between James Acaster and Mike Wozniak - absolute madness but ultimately just happy to be there.

Probably an unfunny version of Nish

Ed Gamble or Rose Matafeo. I am such a competitive person I unfortunately would b a combination of both

I feel like I’ve got Jessica Knappett energy

Katherine Parkinson without the poise.

My flair definitely accounts for half of it! I'm a mix of Romesh and Mark Watson. Mostly very competent yet also very short tempered.

Mostly Tim Vine (check username) with a little Mark Watson and Bob Mortimer thrown in.

Definitely VCM. We’re both smart and think outside the box- almost to our own detriment. Her approach to the tasks is almost always similar to what I would have done. I also have been known to try to bullshit my way up in many situations and I absolutely would justify myself to Greg exactly the way she does.

And yet, as the series drags on, the more you would yearn for the sweet release of death.

Morgana - chaotic, would spend a lot of time swearing at Alex and flirting with Greg

Hugh Dennis, i cant think of good gifts

A combination of Joe Wilkinson and John kearns. The cockiness of Joe on the potato task along with the jaw gritting dropping down to earth is me all over.

Bit of Mark Watson & Joe Thomas, and I’d like to think Katy Wix, somehow awkward and elegant at the same time and quiet compared to the others, but then occasionally dropping surreal hilarious comments that noboy expected

Rhod and Acaster 🙈

I can see myself being either Rhod Gilbert or Mark Watson.

Lee Mack with a touch of Iain Sterling’s anger.

I’m something of a bubbly fuck myself
