In the fifth episode of season 10 of the humorous game show Taskmaster, titled "I hate your trainers," five British comedians are tasked with completing ridiculous challenges to win points and impress the Taskmaster, the show's host and judge.
The episode begins with each contestant introducing themselves to the audience and the Taskmaster. This week's competitors are actor and comedian David Baddiel, podcaster and writer Ed Gamble, stand-up comedian Jo Brand, comedian Katy Wix, and actor and comedian Rose Matafeo.
Their first task is a team challenge, in which they must work together to create the most eye-catching shoes using only balloons and other materials provided. The teams, decided by a random draw, are David and Katy, and Ed, Jo, and Rose. The pairs go about crafting their footwear, with David and Katy opting for a flamboyant and outrageous design, and Ed, Jo, and Rose taking a more practical approach. The Taskmaster is impressed with both designs and awards points accordingly.
Next up is an individual challenge, in which the contestants must memorize and recite a tongue-twister poem while doing a physical task, such as jumping on a trampoline or drawing with their non-dominant hand. The Taskmaster provides hilarious but challenging rhymes for the poem, leading to some hilarious recitations.
The third task involves each contestant donning a pair of giant inflatable hands and using them to catch and toss food items with a partner. Each team is given a different set of foods to catch, including marshmallows, spaghetti, and beans. The result is messy and chaotic, with some impressive catches and hilarious fails.
The fourth task is a group challenge, in which the contestants must use paper cups and string to create a machine capable of transporting a ball across the room, with the ball passing through various obstacles and challenges along the way. The teams work together to construct their machines and set them in motion, resulting in some clever ideas and creative solutions.
The final task of the episode involves the contestants bringing a selection of their shoes to the Taskmaster's house. Each shoe is judged by the Taskmaster and assigned a point value based on its uniqueness, style, and overall appeal. The contestants plead their case for their favorite pair of shoes, with some hilarious and surprising stories behind their choices.
In the end, the points are tallied up and a winner is declared for the episode. As always, the challenges are ridiculous and entertaining, and the comedians' personalities and quick wit shine through.
