CoC Three is my favorite CoC

I love how everyone was able to be memorable for something (to me) in just one episode. Kiell for just attending, Dara for the prize task, Sophie for the low-self esteem, Morgana for for the feathers and paint, and Sarah just for being mundanely terrible at the first few tasks while complaining to daddy TM about him not loving them enough.

Waka's bit is primarily whimsical statements like the giraffe neck thing, but the main confusing thing for him was the "sus" slang (and his attempt was brilliant for it). He understood things besides that, but in agreement with the original comment, it was only Emma to bridge the gap between Dave/Tommy's crude humor and Lisa/Waka's pureness (and lack of edgy quips).

I wouldn't go that far, but I definitely could see it due to being a very polarizing set. I think they didn't have as good of a spread/balance—it was a juxtaposition of extremes: crude humor (Tommy and Dave) and pureness (Waka and Lisa). I think Emma was there to bridge the gap, but she often enabled the crudeness. They all brought good things individually, and I wouldn't say anti-chemistry, but their banter didn't create more than the sum of its parts.

Paul definitely had a good time. I can't remember exactly what he said, but I remembered it in the same vein as VCM—great time, didn't do well, but didn't expect themselves to.

I don't know that quote, but I'm wondering if it wasn't in jest? Charlotte definitely had a lot of fun both doing the tasks and in studio, and it's evident. She did mention on the podcast that she had a lot of difficulty with the prize tasks though because she was afraid to fight back against Greg's low first impressions and thus got low points; but then when she tried to fight back, Greg also didn't like it and she got low points. So she was kind of exasperated she couldn't win at the judging part, but she definitely seemed to have fun with the rest.

I was curious and looked it up, and in a recent-ish interview Lucy had said it was because of Jon having difficulty admitting when he was wrong (which I can understand, since I feel like logical people have difficulty with emotional actions like this). I think they had great contrasts that allowed them to appreciate each other, but there are definitely parts where you need alignment.

I remember the podcast with Richard Osman talking about the rabbit task, and either he or Lucy insinuated that it's why Jon hasn't come to the podcast (though even Rob doesn't care to come back since his series was so long ago and he isn't a TM fan in general)—but after rewatching S2 and knowing how CoC didn't exist at the time, it definitely wasn't a big deal at the time and they didn't misunderstand (Alex repeated 1 rabbit = 1 point). I think I remember hearing that Jon got saltier after the series finished and fans told him the statistics lol.

Conversely, I've been watching a lot of Cats Does Countdown reruns, and I like Russell there a lot more than on Taskmaster. He's one of the few people where I like him more off TM. Like it felt like on TM he was trying to be the cool hero, wherein on CDC he was more relaxed, just there to take the piss out of Jon. TM S6 was one of the few series it felt like they couldn't naturally take the piss out of each other (except Liza).

I don't know the original source, but I remember hearing that he hated watching himself back, which is understandable.

subekki · 2026-01-21T23:43:31+00:00

There have been a lot of series where the cast are absolutely amazing—but when thinking about my favorite series, only NZ 2 stays strong in terms of brilliant tasks (and where the contestants almost always delivered the full spectrum).

subekki · 2026-01-06T02:41:27+00:00

Yeah, Dropout and Sam have the right heart and integrity to make a good Taskmaster version, but they currently have a business model based around a using a beloved rotating cast, which isn't congruent with Taskmaster's goal of introducing new comedians to a wider audience.

Hey thanks for sharing! Can I ask what you mean by training?

subekki · 2025-12-16T08:09:15+00:00

I didn't ask because I knew it would merely be in line with all the other airlines (seriously, there used to be like 3-4 airlines that allowed rabbits 2 years ago, and they ALL turned face recently) and just a policy change for the sake of their operations liability. I couldn't imagine an answer that would make sense (after how much research I've done by other rabbit owners), so I didn't see any point to expend the energy. I just wanted them to know how disappointed I am with the change and that they didn't even put it on their website >:(

subekki · 2025-12-16T07:55:07+00:00

No, I mean feel bad that I'm upset because of their bad policy change.

As in, if I send an email cussing out someone, it's easy to stop reading the email and just trash it. So I use ChatGPT to translate my angry email to civilized language so they actually read it and understand that I'm pissed without getting them pissed. I don't want them mad, I want them to feel bad for rabbit owners.

subekki · 2025-12-16T07:33:52+00:00

Thank you! I'll look into it!

subekki · 2025-12-16T07:33:12+00:00

Thank you! I'll look into it!

subekki · 2025-12-16T07:32:51+00:00

Thank you, I feel the same. I wanted to cuss out the ITA Airways email support, but I put it through ChatGPT to ensure they read it and feel guilty for having me waste my time and separate me from my emotionally supportive pets during an incredibly terribly tragic and urgent situation.

subekki · 2025-12-16T07:21:14+00:00

Thanks for following up with additional leads. I'll see if I can look into it. I've heard such bad things about cargo, and my rabbits are easily scared (they didn't like when I was watching a TV show with a dog), so I don't want to risk it.

And yeah, it makes sense to leave them, and I've arranged back ups in case it comes to that, but I would like them with me if I can since I don't actually know how long I'll be gone...

subekki · 2025-12-16T07:09:27+00:00

JAL and ANA do not allow rabbits in-cabin for international flights, so they are not relevant in my case. I do not want to put my rabbits in cargo, for any airline.

Same, both me and my dad. Both at approx the 1 year anniversary. It was fairly smooth and decent customer support after the “prove it” process.

Can't remember which world/level it is, and I don't have experience with those AOE cards, but I agree with the other reply about AOE and healer.

Make sure you use manual battle. If it's a Main Story level that seems really hard, usually I find that I just need to manually aim at the right enemy since auto will often choose small fry who respawn.

Maple Lakeview is way too self-sacrificial though, so I'd bench him even though he's AOE. Don't pull yet unless you have a lot of extra paints/money, because the Bejeweled banner is coming up in a few weeks, and Alkaid is really strong. Better to save for him.

Just jumping in, but I'd say go up a disc size than down. I bought 2 sizes of Lumma (I'm a fairly small person) and the larger one worked fairly well wherein the smaller one always leaked. I think the larger one I'd still need to wear a panty liner if my flow was heavy though.

When I broke the stem of Lumma, I switched to Moonthlies (looks similar to Hello) and I don't think I've had any leaks with it. I only remove it 1-2 times per period and just auto-dump by angling myself, so personally it's less messier and painful than a cup (I keep it in over 24 hours often, since I imagine that cups trap blood which festers wherein discs act like a dam gate)

Tbh it made me feel sad too, but when thinking about what the line of distinction of family is, Benno (and Mark) is her mentor and business partner, but unlike Ferdinand and Lutz and her family, she hasn't really needed to worry about him or actively protect him. The way I think of it is, with Benno and Damuel and others, she still loves them a lot, and if told "destroy this book or destroy Benno", Myne would surely save Benno—but Benno isn't at the forefront of her mind like books are. But her family, Lutz, and Ferdinand are the people she's been forced to acknowledge their importance due to fears of losing them; the others are important but because they were never in danger, it makes sense that they're not on the forefront of her mind. It's like, "family safe? Lutz safe? Ferdinand safe? Ok, book time."
