Ep 8. 101 Ducks.

In the eighth episode of the first season of Taskmaster, titled "101 Ducks," the five contestants face another array of bizarre challenges put forth by Taskmaster Greg Davies and his hapless assistant Alex Horne. The show follows the playful rivalry between the contestants as they compete to earn points by completing various seemingly random tasks.

The episode opens with the contestants gathering outside, where they are greeted by a large inflatable duck and a duckling. The first task of the day involves the contestants taking turns to catch as many rubber ducks as they can in a giant inflatable paddling pool within a certain time limit. As always, the resulting chaos is both hilarious and endearing, with each contestant employing their distinctive tactics to catch as many ducks as possible.

Next, the contestants are challenged to create a unique, duck-themed art piece using only the materials provided to them, which include a variety of art supplies, food coloring, and a whole roasted duck. The resulting artworks are surprisingly impressive, with each contestant showing off their distinct creative flair and wit.

For the third task, the contestants are tasked with using a small plastic duck to make a hole-in-one shot on a miniature golf course. However, they are only allowed to use their feet to punt the duck towards the hole, adding another layer of difficulty to an already challenging task. The ensuing hilarity as each contestant struggles to make their shot is a testament to their resilience and creative problem-solving skills.

The fourth task of the day involves the contestants attempting to stack 101 rubber ducks on top of each other without them falling over. However, as always, there is a catch - each contestant is only allowed to use one finger on one hand to place the ducks, adding yet another layer of difficulty to the task. The resulting display of concentration and focus is nothing short of impressive and entertaining.

Finally, the contestants are invited to participate in a group task where they must work together to create an impressive, duck-themed domino rally using a variety of objects, including books, balls, and balloons. As always, the success of the group task depends on effective collaboration and communication, as each contestant plays to their strengths while accommodating the weaknesses of others to achieve a common goal.

Throughout the episode, the contestants continue to playfully bicker and compete with each other, with each task providing new opportunities for them to showcase their unique personalities and skills. The blending of witty humor, creative problem-solving, and unintentional silliness makes this episode of Taskmaster an entertaining and engaging watch, showcasing the show's distinctive charm and hilarious, absurdist humor.
