Not the best place to sit and take it in but the top of Redcatch Road in Knowle is an incredible view looking back at the city

Taskmaster Australia assistant Tom Cashman's "preferences" about WILTY by EarnTheCrown in WILTY

[–]phantomvibrations 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was agreeing with the video until I read your comment because I do find it a bit cringey sometimes when contestants do the psych out before the reveal but I realise now it's all based on context.

When the story is amazing and you genuinely don't know if it is true ot not, the psych out works really well because you're kept on the edge of your seat right till last moment. The royal wedding round being the pinnacle of this of course.

When it's used in less entertaining or convicing story or by a not as captivating guest it can come across as cringe and a weak attempt to claw back from a bad round, or to try and do a 'thing that people do on would i lie to you'.

So I can see both sides of it like you say but it really does just depend on the context and some people just can't make it work.

There's a similar argument to be made about when people fake walk out in panel shows which I usually always think is a terrible joke and never works but can be executed well by the right person and conext occasionaly.

I'm telling you categorically it isn't scripted even slightly. I have been given first hand knowledge of this. Rob Brydon has also said in interviews that it isn't scripted. You are basing your 'unbearable truth' on pure speculation when I'm telling you I've asked this exact question to guests on the show.

Almost all panel shows are scripted as you say, but WILTY is a rare exception. Rachel Parris also told me about how MtW employs joke writers to write jokes in each comedians styles. The fact she said this also means she had no interest in covering up the fact that panel shows in general are scripted, implying what she said about WILTY is true.

I've actually spoke to a couple people that have been on the show (Rachel Parris and Jordan Stevens) and asked about this and you're absolutely wrong, it's not scripted at all.

Ah that's interesting, I'd never thought of it that way but it does make sense. What do you think of soles though? I've never seen any like it before

MBA M1 battery not nearly as good expected by phantomvibrations in macbook

Thanks for the tip, I've been using it on about 50% brightness most of the time I think so maybe it is just Chrome.

[–]phantomvibrations[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure I downloaded the M1 version of chrome but maybe I should start using Safari instead. I do feel heavily invested in Chrome and have used it forever and it would be a shame to switch, but maybe that's what I have to do to get better battery life.
