    In this Broadcast Award-winning, BAFTA and Emmy Award-nominated entertainment show, Taskmaster tyrant Greg Davies (Man Down, Cuckoo), with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne (The Horne Section and the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians.
    Comedians that have risked life, limb, and dignity in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud so far include: Frank Skinner (The Frank Skinner Show), Mel Giedroyc (The Great British Bake Off), Romesh Ranganathan (Asian Provocateur), Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Rose Matafeo (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2018), and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour). Unaware of what awaits them in each wax-sealed envelope, only one competitor can become the victorious owner of His Royal Task-ness’ golden head and be crowned the next Taskmaster Champion.

      I think he only was not embarrassed about what *others* did, only discomfited (if you can say that?). When the woman made him think of three breasts, he was embarrassed by 1) liking the thought 2) seeing it so vividly 3) already blushing, so he blushed more.

    One thing that most participants seemed to miss is that embarrassment is not the only way to make someone blush. I believe that being flirtatious or giving compliments can be another approach to achieving this. Many of us humans struggle with accepting compliments, so I think it would be a more effective way to make someone blush.

    You rarely blush from someone getting too close, when you are not sexually attracted to them at all. So all the uncomfortable advances had little chance of success.
    If a gender he was attracted to had made advances and it made him imagine more, that might have made him blush.
    Making him imagine something that he would like, but that he felt a bit ashamed and surprised, though also amused, by thinking of, is a far better way, so the "would you fancy three breasts" option was good - also better than just stripping or making advances.
    It's his own thoughts that make him blush.

      @@rachelcookie321 I think all the penis talk and tongue-in-face things were like that. They don't make you blush unless you are actually attracted. It just makes you want to be elsewhere.
      Oh, an Rachel, as girls we have tried being uncomfortable with advances many times, am I right? It's unbelievable what some guys will think is sexy.

    Romesh seems like the kind of person who would chew on canned fish and raw garlic just before talking to another person mere inches away from their face and then look at the camera and say, "did you get it?"

      The task was to make him plush, not to put blush on him. They probably would have been disqualified.
