I just realised time starts when your wearing the full helmet. So they could’ve ran around found the guy and then put the helmet on time starts and throw the paint
Great idea, but until the helmet was on, the soldier wasn’t speaking, so unless you realised he was dressed as a bush and outside, not hiding in one of the many rooms inside, it might have taken longer to find him.
@@seizure8388 Still, regardless of how long it takes to locate him, your time hasn't started yet, so you just find him, however long that takes, then put the helmet on, then throw the paint for a total time of like 5 seconds.
They don't test most of them much anymore, since they found most contestants will do the complete opposite of what they expect most of the time. Alex was talking about it on a podcast.
I think they only test to see if something is somewhat doable as intended if it seems undoable. But honestly, most tasks are designed to be a bit open ended. Like the "without moving the fishbowl" one, they seem to just use anything unconventional doodads that seem like could have some amazing effectiveness if put together cleverly. I honestly doubt if they tested that many tasks in the first place. The "paint a horse while riding a horse" seems like one that needed testing, but tasks in the early seasons were also relatively mild compared to later ones
@@cosmicreciever I was going to leave a message conjecturing that's why she never has them, but since she's said it then it's gone from to conjecture to fact. Well I can't say I'm surprised then
This feels like somebody had been pitching task ideas all day only to have them rejected, so they completely lost their mind and went "well how about we have them play hide and seek but they have to walk backwards using GoPros on their heads and there's a soldier wearing a ghillie suit saying their name into a walkie-talkie every five seconds", and everybody just went with it because nobody was interested in poking the bear by that point.
This is one i would like to try myself. When walking long distances sometimes i close my eyes to see how well i maintain direction, i wonder how alex would have reacted to one running down the corridor.
I did consider how they could have just ran, as they were promised to be stopped by alex before hitting any obstacle. Thus any resulting injuries is the shows fault.
I'm kind of surprised Alan didn't fare better with the camera. I'm reminded of that bit in an episode of QI, where Stephen made him read with an echo device pointed at him, and he managed to read perfectly fine, whereas the other panelists couldn't get a single word out.
Why didn't anyone just simply not put on the rest of said 'helmet' and search for them? The timer only starts once its on and can't be tampered with after it's on as well. This allows a potential 0 second completion or sub 10 second if you find them, put on the helmet, then hit with paint.
They've done this one in the Swedish version of Taskmaster, but they had someone lying down on the ground. Was as amusing to watch as watching this one, big thumbs up from me.
First one sounds like him. He works on the show as a task consultant so makes sense he might have been involved with production. Especially as this was during the pandemic so probably keeping the size of the crew down. But when he said "Victoria" and "Morgana" it sounded more like Joe Wilkinson. Perhaps they both did it.
There must be a scenario where Alex is videoed being punished in the “traditional” way. I’m surmising it either involves copious amounts of hot liquids being forcefully sent down his gullet, or sitting on a cake while Greg fires satsumas at his noggin with a trebuchet. Epic!
why not hold onto the helmet, find the soldier, than put the helmet and immediately throw the paint, ending with a time of 1 second since the timer only starts when the helmet is on?
I thought it was The Pianist when I watched it, but All 4 always puts the credits in a tiny window in the corner over an advert for another show, so I had no way of actually checking.
I'm not sure he is- it seems that Morgana gets it quite quickly, so probably went straight out of the first door she encountered (If you look at the overhead view at the beginning of the video, the start point is quite close to the soldier), while Guz goes the long way around (see 3:10) and comes out of the other door at the other side of the courtyard. That said, Alan went all around the houses as well and comes out the same door as Morgana, so I could be wrong.
Running backwards is hard enough as it is. Plus, eveything would appear the wrong way round for you. You have to turn your head left to look right, for example.
@@wohlhabendermanager Inverted controls is a fairly standard obstacle in my life, and I love running backwards, so I recognise the pretty obvious bias. With that said, this is Taskmaster and the halls were a straight line with no obstacles, I'm pretty sure contestants like Rhod would have run
@@tommulder9420 For a lot of people who will never actually meet them? Yeah probably. Same for men though. Women and men treat their sexual attractions the same. Looks are in fact the first thing that people notice. Nobody notices the personality first, and then the body.
@@gwouru so you judge everyone by how much you want to have sex with them? That's your personal experience or opinion at best dude. There's no social or biological study that points this out. Otherwise I would love to see the basis for those claims based on data. Lol.
@@tommulder9420 That's how EVERYONE first judges a person they're sexually attracted to. Looks are what brings the boys to the yard, and the milkshake is what brings them back. Nobody is capable of judging something at a first glance, by anything but how it looks. Looks will bring you to a book, only reading it will tell you if you like it. But you can completely pass on some great literature, just because it looks boring, or like shit. There's only so many hours in your life you can spend on reading. I never claimed I judged people based on how much I want to have sex with them. I was telling you how everyone judges people they're never going to meet, based on first look. People can find the hottest women in the world, and then find out she's a complete psychopath. But it's still the eyes that brought them over to find that out in the first place. Give me an example of someone NOT judging someone based on how they look, AT FIRST GLANCE?
That was one of the worst tasks too watch. Not funny,I really don't think they tested that one out before hand. Sorry taskmaster, I love you but that was not a winner.
Not all of them can be. Pretty sure the celebrities do 4-5 tasks and the show only chooses the most entertaining ones. Any extras would be used for tie breakers.
Have we been watching the same show? Plenty of contestants before her including comedians have had idiotic tendencies. Idiotic or smart or even both. Victoria is smart but she has her moments which is the whole point of the show. To find humor in celebrities doing inane tasks.
I just realised time starts when your wearing the full helmet. So they could’ve ran around found the guy and then put the helmet on time starts and throw the paint
I was thinking that exact thing. I'm a little disappointed none of them thought of it
That's genius.
That would have been brilliant. Just start off on a dead sprint before Alex can stop you haha!

I love that Victoria is 1 of the smartest people, and yet she struggles with life because she simply just forgets her glasses constantly🤣
She mentioned on the podcast that she just doesn't like wearing them for vanity reasons

That's vanity for you
1 of the smartest people? You clearly don't have a very high opinion on anyone's intelligence.
Am I crazy, or at one point, did she point in a random direction and say “Is that a direction?” I’m still laughing at that line.
Instructions: The soldier will say your name every 5 seconds.
Victoria: Why's he keep saying my name?
The last bit of dialogue between Alex and Greg had me in tears.
Not the traditional way!!
@@MB-dg3lr Yes the traditional way!
Do we assume the "traditional way" is referring to the Mel Geidroyc season where Greg plays hide and seek and goes on holiday?

Alan's "Dignity" shirt as he crumples against a wall whimpering...was torn between laughter and wanting to give him a hug.
Alan almost crying “whaat?” When his name was called 😭
I want a task where they have to punish Alex - Oh wait that is the entire show.
Not the entire show, they call those "cooking challenges".
The Rhod Gilbert philosophy
in the traditional way
I'm a competitive person but I would give up immediately for this task, this would make me violently ill 100%
6:02
' Alan '
' *What?* 😭'
Equally great was when Victoria asked why he kept saying her name! (05:34)
Morgana was such a beast this season
I'm surprised no one threw up in this task, I think I would have

I would've just curled up in a ball on the floor. I'm proud of all of them 😂
@Bronson can you just take them off the task starts when u wear it correctly it didn’t mention taking them off
I think that's a perfectly valid idea. The show is built on technicalities. I like how you think @Bronson
@@beansontoast9000 "You may not tamper your helmet." If the camera is attached to the helmet, it might count as tampering with it.
I think this should have been the simplest task. You simply walk backwards in the same way as you would walk forward. And use your ears.
Yeah, it was making me a bit nauseous watching them do it!
Friend: how are you doing?
Me: Currently? Alan Davies having a small meltdown in a hallway
"Don't you worry Guz's coming!" 🤣🤣

“Cheeky man” Alex Horne. As Claudia Winkleman found out.
Is that Tim Key as the soldier? And more importantly, was he wearing job gloves for that?
came to the comment to see if anyone else asked. really sounds like him.

I'm glad the traditional way bit got kept in
I want to see the footage of the punishment carried out in the traditional way.
Not the traditional way..
this is the one task id most like to have a go at
I'd ace this. I've got such a bad eyesight that I walk around my house at night without lights on or my glasses. I'd run backwards so fast... XD
That might be because your house is familair to you, the place they did the task might be totally unknown to you and very disorienting.
Morgana is awesome.

You've got issues.
All things he’s already endured! But yes, I’ve got issues!
It is to sit on a cake while naked
Everything okay at home buddy?
Seems like you have some problems
@@gyroscope915 These are all literally things that have already happened to Alex on the show. No need to be a dick.
7-8 years from now, someone binging this show will never understand why they are sitting so far apart.
I think his traditional punishment is to spend an hour with sally phillips
Now that sounds like the very opposite of a punishment.

@@HOTD108_ 😂😂😂
Credit to Morgs for coming clean
Is it me or is the soldier Joe Wilkinson? It sounds like him when Alan and Victoria get near him
Sounded like Tim Key to me for Desiree. Though the person playing the soldier could have changed
@@martinsmith8670 definitely sounds like Tim Key
I sat here and did some facial comparisons because of this comment. I'm sad to say it isn't J.W.
I thought the person calling Victoria sounded like Paul Sinha
@@martinsmith8670 I thought it was Tim Key too
Soldier sounds a lot like Tim Keye! 😂
"Yes the traditional way"
The anointing by Guz was satisfying.
Since seeing it I've wanted to know if he was actually a soldier or was just a guy in a gillie suit and that's what was soldiery about about him
Someone said it might have been Tim Key...
The fact that half of them don't even consider walking backwards is so baffling to me
Is anyone else slightly curious as to what the traditional way might be? 😂
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - The genital cuff.
Rhod Gilbert.
@@Raganui maybe put him in a room with Bridget Christie for an hour. They’d probably kill each other.
Who else expected the man in the camoflage to be a dentist? Your princess is in another castle.
It is good this wasn't in RHod's season cuz he would've just taken off running somehow.
As a professional fork truck driver I have spent years driving backwards. This would have been very quick.
So…. Don’t put on the helmet correctly and the timer won’t start… just walk around finding the soldier
why not hold onto the helmet, find the soldier, than put the helmet and immediately throw the paint, ending with a time of 1 second since the timer only starts when the helmet is on?
Well if her helmet wasn't on correctly, then her time never started.
Looks like they could have reattached the camera to the helmet on the front instead, had they known.
"this is the beginning of a very wired horror film"
The soldier really sounds like Joe Wilkinson
This is the Traditional Way
"not the traditional way....." :(
They put their goggles on themselves...
Why wasn't Alex punished for telling Victoria to watch where she was going?
Was the Soldier portrayed by Joe Wilkinson? It kind of sounded like him.
I felt like the first two sounded like Tim key and the second two sounded like joe
I thought it was The Pianist when I watched it, but All 4 always puts the credits in a tiny window in the corner over an advert for another show, so I had no way of actually checking.
Probably Tim key as he devises some tasks
I can’t grasp what Guz is thinking whenever he shops for pants.
from this you can tell that victoria does not own a car with a reverse cam :P
Based on David's account the Coren Mitchell household still has a car with manual windows so that's entirely in character. 😁
@@Vadigor hahahah o fuck you mean that bit on wilty with the window and the sunroof?XD
@@marycanary86 Yup, though bizarrely it came up again in a more recent episode so evidently nothing changed.
i was really hoping one of them would just take the camera off and hold it in front of them
Oh no, the traditional way
Was it ever explained why the soldier was put ahead of the pond for Alan and Morgana?
I'm not sure he is- it seems that Morgana gets it quite quickly, so probably went straight out of the first door she encountered (If you look at the overhead view at the beginning of the video, the start point is quite close to the soldier), while Guz goes the long way around (see 3:10) and comes out of the other door at the other side of the courtyard.
That said, Alan went all around the houses as well and comes out the same door as Morgana, so I could be wrong.
They both went the ‘correct’ way.
It's explained in the manga.
They approached from the other door
No, not THE TRADITIONAL WAY!!
When will this season be available in America?
NO NOT the traditional way 😱
Why didn't they just not put the helmet completely on?
Alex tells them they're wearing half. They had to put on the device.
I just don't understand why no one walked backwards. Maybe its a British thing lol
Christmas tree 🤣😂
Why does the thumbnail say one thing but the title and the video is another?
I don't get why none of them ran, this was timed!
Dangerous, messes with perception, and Alex was last minute saying be careful like they said.
