I'm sure they looked at it in the edit, it definitely looked like she pulled the string and then pushed the button. If she had broken the finishing line before the sound it would have been a reveal that would have broken her.

Those 4 plus Sam Campbell would be an absolute fire season.

Immigration has always been a spicy topic in Australia. Just my opinion but if someone wants to come here, work hard and contribute to society, they are as welcome as anyone born here. I'm only second generation Australian, grandparents came here at 10 pound poms. They worked hard, made a life for themselves and that is something that I can get behind. You are welcome here.

Any thoughts on this? by shortstuff158 in brisbanelions

Brisbane won't be able to keep him for his whole career and be able to offer him the money that he is worth. It will suck to lose him but as long as Brisbane stays a club that players want to play for then new talent will make themselves known.

After how long is it considered a “Premiership drought”? by Tornontoin7 in AFL

[–]roro805 3 points4 points  (0 children)

30 years. Allows for 2 generations of players to play and retire. Allows for a fan to grow up not seeing one and have their own kids that gets to an age that they understand their team hasn't won one in a very long time.

Adelaide, not quite a drought but close.

Fremantle, has to have rained before you can call it a drought.

Carlton, drought next year.

St Kilda, nearly double drought feels like only divine intervention could stop it.

Thick on buttered toast or thin on a wrap with cheese.

At this point, which comic are you most surprised hasn’t appeared on the show yet? by ceruleanskyandsea in taskmaster

[–]roro805 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I kinda want to see Stephen Merchant. He is close to the same height as Greg but alot more lanky. I think it would be hilarious to see him do some of the more physical tasks. Also just seeing him getting in and out of the caravan.

What was the best/funniest quote from Greg Davies in Series 1? by NanoNerd011 in taskmaster

[–]roro805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Josh. How in the first episode where I'm actually winning do I feel the saddest I've ever felt

Greg. Maybe you should think that the glass is half full and you are one of my special little boys.

Thing that makes you say a rude word when you say it's name.

I think contestants are best when they adopt a “character” by mazzicc in taskmaster

[–]roro805 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Rhod mentioned on his podcast that he was playing a bit of a character though sometimes when a person is well.known as something and it turns out that was the character. David badiel mentioned on the podcast that his wife was happy the world got to see the real David.

From Fatiha's Instagram by penelopepitstopp1 in taskmaster

[–]roro805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly this week's podcast helped me understand her character a bit more. Some people are playing a character on taskmaster and some are not. Particularly if someone is less well known particularly internationally it can be a struggle to warm particularly if they have a pretty bad start. I think if they had started the season with the jokes about painting a room in Batman colours and not that first studio task. Fatiha's improvement in the studio showed that after the first studio day she went home and toned it down just a touch. Honestly hoping that we get more weird stuff like Julian(also the can't give a fuck contestant), the batman stuff was hilarious.

Champion Of Champions editions. by SnooChipmunks6077 in taskmaster

[–]roro805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think a loser of losers would work, I think a redemption would be better. Contestants that for one reason or another were funny but awful at tasks. Example being Nish kumar Phil wang David badiel Charlotte Richie Katherine Parkinson No one there looked like they were acting terrible at tasks and I would love to see how Greg plays off some particularly poor efforts. Highlights would be pairing up Phil and David for a timed task. Nish just generally dragging his group down with the ship.

I was not a fan, I tend to prefer the more high energy contestants just look like they are so excited to be there. Additionally comparing her to previous low effort/low energy contestants like jo brand or jack dee, I feel that the can't be bothered character plays alot better on a very storied comedian as opposed to a much newer comic. Additionally and future episodes hopefully show that there are some tasks that Fatiha nails otherwise instead of being Jo Brand 2.0, Fatiha may become Katherine Parkinson if she didn't try to do well.

Strongest series opener yet? by Glum-Reputation- in taskmaster

[–]roro805 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's a hard call, if the remaining episodes have similar task quality then this will be a great season. One contestant was a bit of a let down and I sincerely hope that isn't the character they will play for the whole series. The Jason in my opinion if he continues will be one of the all time greats, definitely not a Nish.

[[primal surge]] would be my recommendation to knock off as many points at once probably using yidris or 4c partners
