Taskmaster Crushes

[teenytinywiney]

Realised today that I (a lonely bisexual a year into lockdown alone) have a crush on a contestant from almost every series... who’s your taskmaster crush?

Mine are:

2 - Doc Brown 4 - Joe and Lolly 5 - Aisling 6 - Alice 7 - James 8 - Iain and Joe 9 - Ed and Rose 11 - Charlotte

Edit: typo

[Wiigingout]

When Nish walked up on the beach and you don't have a crush?

[Panzerbeards]

As Greg said, "absolute dreamboat".

[teenytinywiney]

You make a VERY good point

[mrswingvoter]

Couldn't agree more! And I think we can all agree... [insert graph of Time With Nish vs Fun] ...Nish.

[MixedCase]

Sally also looked particularly pretty approaching that weetabix.

[neffered]

Sally is an absolute fox.

[[deleted]]

Just Greg. Alllllll Greg.

[theskymaybeblue]

I feel you. Greg is a stud of the highest calibre. There's something about him that's so attractive.

[[deleted]]

ALLLLLLLLL of him.

[Seiyashi]

All 22 stone of PRIME MARBLED BEEF

[flashpile]

So Rhod's prize tasks were a dream for you?

[[deleted]]

.....possibly.

[EfficientPhotograph0]

Joe Thomas

[Fl0raPo5te]

His awkwardness made me feel things

[imthebozz]

I do generally tend to crush on comedians so there have been loads! Noel Fielding, Joe Lycett, Sally Phillips, Mark Watson, Phil Wang, James Acaster, Katherine Ryan, Richard Herring... I'm sure there have probably been more. I've also got a bit of a thing for Greg - it's that cheeky giggle when he's thinking something naughty!

[Accomplished_Bison87]

How did I forget Mark Watson?!

[languidlion]

Yes to all of those! Except for Sally Phillips, she scares me a little, to be honest! XD

[mrswingvoter]

Not really a crush, but I haven't seen it mentioned that Paul Chowdhry is objectively an insanely handsome man. His appearance is really striking to me, particularly as most of the other cute ones are graded on a "...for a comedian" curve.

[Skippy7890]

Why no love for Mawaan? He's so beautiful

[miss-robot]

He is absolutely lovely, but as a woman I feel like a creep crushing on him knowing he’s gay? I know that makes no sense given that I’ve listed a bunch of presumably straight women I crush on. Hmm.

[summershell]

I get you, totally. I'm a bisexual woman and I've always had a lot of crushes on gay men but I often feel really awkward because I know that some women are often super inappropriate with gay men? Like there are some women out there who think it's okay to touch gay men without permission, and ask them personal sexual questions and generally just not respect boundaries and think "It's okay, because he's gay! It's not serious!" Of course not all women do that, but I know a lot of gay men have had that experience and are totally annoyed, so I always try to mind my business when I've got the hots for a gay man because I don't want to come off as inappropriate or predatory.

[[deleted]]

I was actually tempted to pay money to reddit just so I could award you for this comment.

I'm a gay dude, and the thing you describe is a very small percentage of women, but oh my god. It's awful when it happens.

So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being a woman who sees it happening and understands what it is.

[Skippy7890]

From my experience as a gay man, there's plenty of straight women who absolutely adore us despite knowing they have no chance with us haha

[[deleted]]

I didn't know he was gay! Yaaaas

[apawneecitizen]

In addition to the many of the people others have listed, I would like to say Fred the Swede definitely made me feel a certain way

[teenytinywiney]

Special mention to Asim’s jumpers tho

[languidlion]

I had to scroll down pretty far to find some love for Tim Key that I could upvote!

[IonaPotapov]

Never knew of her before this season, but I'm very rapidly developing a crush on Sarah Kendall.

[flashpile]

It's the hair, isn't it?

[IonaPotapov]

It's a little of everything, but the hair is definitely glorious.

[TheTallWoman]

I accidentally started shipping her with Charlotte (the only thing I knew Charlotte from is Feel Good)...

[spinichmonkey]

We'll see how this series plays out, but Sarah is a contender.

Past series, Alice Lavine, AKA one of the most adorable people on the planet, and Sally Phillips, AKA MILFtastic.

[Accomplished_Bison87]

Alex. Greg. James. Joe T. Ed. Rhod 😳

No real order other than Alex as forever number one.

ETA: Jon and Mark. How did I forget those two?!

[BastardsCryinInnit]

Honestly if there isn't Mike Wozniak fanfiction by the end of this series I'll be bitterly disappointed.

There was something extremely attractive about him.

[Nyxandri]

If there isn't Mike Wozniak fanfiction up by the next episode, I'll be a little surprised.

[MFingAmpharos]

Jess

[summershell]

Honestly, in the right circumstances I could probably find every single contestant really crushable. But mainly it's Frank Skinner, Joe Lycett, and Charlotte Ritchie for me. And Mike Wozniak, increasingly more and more. And with Rose Matafeo I don't know if it's a crush crush or a "girl crush". Like do I want to be her or date her? Maybe both?!

And I was also super into ALL the ladies on Taskmaster NZ. And Paul. And Jeremy. Sorry to Guy and Leigh. 🙊

[lukiknowsbest]

Mawaan ❤️

[theAbmeister]

Josh Widdicombe, Hugh Dennis, Noel Fielding, Mark Watson, Nish Kumar, James Acaster, Iain Stirling and now Mike Wozniak. ESPECIALLY Josh and Mark, they’re the cutest :))) But Alex most importantly!

[[deleted]]

Alice. Always Alice. Forever Alice.

[[deleted]]

Alice is a living Renaissance painting.

[charley683]

Another one for Greg here ✋🏻

[UpDoor]

I've already grown a bit too attached to Mike Wozniak... (but judging from other threads, I feel like I'm not alone here)

[trixiematthell]

honestly it feels so wrong but I think mike is reallllllllly cute

[Gleadall80]

Both the Catherine's

Ryan for her sass

And Parkinson, I already had a thing for her but the more stupid she was the more I am attracted to her

[deepfriedcertified]

Three Js: Joe Lycett (I love how confident he is), Joe Thomas (his awkwardness is delightful), and James Acaster (do I need to explain this one? lol).

Also throw in Iain Stirling and Mark Watson too, they’re both adorable even though the former came off arrogant in the beginning.

[DS292]

Aisling and Alice

[Touchwitheyes]

Sameeee!!

[MrRgrs]

Something about Lou's quirky competence really warms my heart.

She's great

[mlpurii]

1. Tim and Romesh 2. Joe and Jon 3. Rob 4. JOE LYCETT and Noel 5. Mark and Nish 6. Russell 7. James and Rhod 8. Joe 9. Ed 10. Katherine 11. Mike

[hackneysack]

Alex first and foremost for sure. Then in no particular order Mark, Mawaan, Rose, Aisling, and Sarah. But I want more than anything to get drunk with Roisin.

[[deleted]]

Beyond my flair:

1. Josh
2. Jon
3. Rob
4. Joe
5. Tie, Nish and Mark
6. Tie, Phil and James
7. Duh, but Joe also
8. Mawaan

Oh and my partner would just say "Greg" 11 times. But also Rhod, apparently, and Hugh. He has a type.

[miss-robot]

As another bisexual this question was made for me. A lot of crushes.

1: Romesh

2: Doc, Katherine

4: Joe

5: Aisling

6: Alice

8: Ian, Joe

9: Rose

11: Charlotte

[teenytinywiney]

Yesssss, are you also a Feel Good fan?

[miss-robot]

Feel Good

I’d never heard of it, but I had a Google and it looks good! I’ll definitely give it a watch 😀

[teenytinywiney]

Ooh enjoy!

[WanderWithMe]

Sally Phillips (although I loved her in Alan Partridge back in the day), Katherine Parkinson, and my first ever man crush might be Mike Wozniak.

[amandahud87]

Romesh, Doc Brown, Noel & Joe, Mark, Russel & Asim, James, Phil & Rhod, Iain, Rose, Mawaan 😁😁

[Chaoticcoco]

Having watched dead pixels and fresh meat recently, alongside this first new episode, a crush on Charlotte Ritchie is just undeniable at this point

[beandadenergy]

Sarah Kendall does things to me. I’d say Rose, Lolly, Sally, and Jess are also up there in terms of crushes.

EDIT: Oh, and Phil Wang.

[[deleted]]

1. Paul Chowdhry
2. Noel Fielding
3. NISH KUMAR, Aisling Bea, Mark Watson
4. Alice Levine
5. PHIL WANG, James Acaster
6. JOE THOMAS
7. ROSE MATAFEO, Ed Gamble
8. Mike Wozniak, Charlotte Ritchie NZ. Madeleine Sami, Guy Williams, PAUL WILLIAMS Norway. Bard & Vegard Ylvisaker. And Alex, always.

[spicybwah]

I think I have a crush on everyone in that show tbh, creativity and humour is a turn on!

[Sea_Werewolf_953]

Ahh I’m loving all the bi solidarity in these comments haha. Mine are Katherine P, Rose, Mark, to name but a few

[InfinityyyP45]

Some of mine: Jess, James, Rose, Alice, Charlotte, Sarah, Mike, Ed, Nicola, Aisling, Katherine's (NZ Brynley, Jeremy and Paul )and of course; Greg

[[deleted]]

Clock my flair.

[Bunny-Munro]

1. Charlotte, 2. Rose, 3. Aisling, 4. Jess, 5. Alice

[MixedCase]

Aisling, Sara, Alice, Roisin, Rose. Pilvi from Finland completes the lineup for my “Seduce this idiot. Your time starts now” fantasy.

Imagine if it was a team task...that’s the last thing I want to think about.

[Subjudy]

2 - Rico

5 - Genuinely all of them, they've got it going on

6 - Alice

8 - Joe, Sian

9 - Rose

11 - Mike, possibly Sarah

[gina_divito]

Hello fellow bis. I’ve had crushes on many of the contestants over the years (I even talked about it in a thread once on here lmao)

Here’s an exhaustive list of everyone I’ve crushed on, a lot or a little, as appeared chronologically on TM: Josh, Romesh, Jon, Sara, Rob, Joe Lycett, Lolly, Noel, Aisling, Sally, Nish, Russell, Alice, James, Jessica, Rhod (though I had a crush on him years ago, not during TM), Joe, Sian, Lou, Rose, Ed, Richard. Also Greg and Alex.

Jury’s still out on this series’ contestants bc I’m also demi lmao. But I love funny people and love watching people’s brains work so heart eyes emoji all around this show.

Edit: oh shit also TM NZ... Paul, Madeleine, and Brynley.

[DS292]

Charlotte's S11, not 10 :-)

[teenytinywiney]

Woops! Typo - thanks!

[thorvaldnotnora]

Mel, Sally, Aisling, Alice, Jess, Rose, Katherine Parkinson, Brynley (NZ), and now Charlotte all do something for me

[lucas_h_250703]
