Regrading Taskmaster: S01E04 Down an octave.

*Score changes in parenthesis.

Prize Task: Most beautiful item.

Tim's trip to Cologne is beautiful, both because the cathedral is stunning and because they actually ended up taking the trip. Romesh's statute might be the only other thing that is actually aesthetically pleasing (depending on your taste for Roisin's cardigan). I can't do magic eyes, but reports are that Josh lied about his prize task because of course he did.

Tim: 5 (0) Romesh: 4 (+3) Roisin: 3 (+1) Frank: 2 (-1) Josh: 1 (-3)

VT 01: Make this ice block disappear as fast as possible.

A task rife with pedantry because it uses the word "disappear" rather than "melt." This leads to the natural question "disappear from existence or sight?" and in the case of the latter, "whose sight?"

Tim throws the thing in the river which is a similar tactic to what worked for Paul Sinha and Iain Stirling in a Series Eight eraser task. I'm inclined to defer to the studio scores because even if we take Tim's definition of disappear, it would have been more elegant to actually conceal the ice from Alex rather than chucking it in the river.

Josh: 5 Frank: 4 Roisin: 3 Romesh: 2 Tim: 1

VT 02: Get to 11 points as fast as possible.

The debut of team tasks and the start of inconsistent scoring. The team points were originally meant to be a split of five. Greg never does this, much to Alex's chagrin. Both teams achieve the task and Frank/Tim solve the puzzle. It's all about time though, so a 3-2 split in favor of the team of three feels right.

Roisin, Romesh, and Josh: 3 (+1) Frank and Tim: 2 (+1)

VT 03: Fill an egg cup with as many tears as possible.

There is an argument that Roisin and Tim should get zero points for not getting any tears into the cup. However, within the four corners of the task, that might just have been the most tears possible for them and they should actually get 2 points for coming in joint fourth.

Frank: 5 (0) Romesh: 4 (0) Josh: 3 (0) Roisin: 2 (+1) Tim: 2 (+1)

Solo Task: Count the beans/rings/grains of rice.

Josh did this one by himself and it infamously won him the series. Solo tasks are inherently unfair but Taskmaster is never about being fair. That said, Josh's efforts were never actually evaluated for accuracy, so no points.

Josh: 0 (-1)

Live Task: Memorize the names of an Australian rules football team.

Everybody got one so everyone was awarded one point. It's purely academic, but because everyone came in joint first, everyone should have received five.

Frank: 5 (+4) Josh: 5 (+4) Roisin: 5 (+4) Romesh: 5 (+4) Tim: 5 (+4)

Final

Frank: 18 (+4) Josh: 17 (+1) Roisin: 16 (+7) Romesh: 18 (+8) Tim: 15 (+6)

Josh originally won the episode largely because he lied about his prize task. I have Frank and Romesh tied with the break going Frank's way for finding Alex faster.
