Meet the New Taskmaster Contestants: A Hilariously Hilarious Look at Season 18
Okay, folks, buckle up! Season 18 of Taskmaster is HERE, and let me tell you, I'm already dying laughing. I've been a super-fan since, well, basically forever, and this new batch of contestants? They're a wild ride. I’m spilling the tea on who's who, and what I think will happen.
Getting to Know the New Crew
This season's lineup is…interesting. We've got a real mix of personalities, which is exactly what makes Taskmaster so great. Seriously, the chemistry between contestants is half the fun. Let's break it down:
Aisling Bea: The Comedic Genius
Aisling Bea? She's brilliant. Already a comedic powerhouse, I have a feeling she's gonna absolutely nail the creative tasks. She's got that quick wit, you know? The kind that makes you snort your tea out your nose? Yeah, that kind. I bet she'll win more than a few. My prediction? She'll be a strong contender, maybe even top three.
Morgana Robinson: Queen of Impressions
Morgana Robinson? Iconic. This woman's range of impressions is insane – I'm talking seriously impressive mimicry skills. I’m predicting some seriously funny moments during the tasks where she'll have to impersonate someone. I hope they give her a task involving politicians! Taskmaster's known for its quirky challenges, and I think she’ll relish the unexpected.
Marcus Brigstocke: The Veteran Comedian
Marcus Brigstocke – a veteran comedian, he’s a total enigma to me. He's got that quiet confidence, you know? The kind that makes you wonder what he’s really thinking? He’ll probably play it cool, but I bet he’s super competitive under the surface. The "get it done" kind of guy, probably.
Fern Brady: The Dark Horse
Fern Brady. I'm already in love with her dry wit. She's unpredictable, which makes her a total wildcard in this game. Honestly, I'm not sure what to expect from her. That's what makes her so exciting! Dark horse contender, I think.
Samson Kayo: The Energetic Wildcard
Samson Kayo is bringing the energy. He's gonna be the chaotic good. He's got this infectious enthusiasm that's gonna be amazing to watch. I'm expecting some hilarious, slightly disastrous attempts at the tasks. He might not win the whole thing, but he'll definitely provide some entertainment.
My Biggest Taskmaster Blunder (and How to Avoid It!)
Let me tell you a story. Back in season 12, I tried to make a miniature version of the Eiffel Tower out of spaghetti and marshmallows. It was a disaster. A total, epic fail. The thing collapsed like a house of cards, and I barely even got a point for effort.
Lesson learned? Don't underestimate the seemingly simple tasks. They're deceptively difficult. Always plan ahead. Always. Think outside the box. And maybe don't use marshmallows. They melt.
Predictions for Season 18 (and why I'm probably wrong!)
Predicting Taskmaster is like trying to predict the weather in Scotland – it’s almost impossible! I have a feeling this season's going to be full of surprises. I'm leaning toward Aisling Bea winning, but it wouldn’t surprise me if someone like Fern Brady completely shocked everyone.
Either way, it's going to be utterly hilarious. I already know I'm going to be hooked.
What about you? Who are you rooting for? Let me know in the comments – I'd love to hear your thoughts and predictions! Let the games begin!
