In Taskmaster season 5 episode 7, titled "Boing boing," the five remaining contestants face a series of eccentric challenges from Greg Davies and Alex Horne. The show begins with a clown-inspired task, challenging the cast to make the most creative portrait of Greg in just five minutes using a range of clown props.
The next challenge is "Popcorn Tennis," where the contestants are divided into pairs and tasked with getting as many pieces of popcorn into their respective buckets as possible in five minutes by using only a tennis racket. The pairs show off their competitive sides as they strategize and attempt to outscore each other.
In the third challenge, Alex and Greg provide a tray of items and instructions for each contestant to create an exact replica of a model home. The catch? They must do it while wearing giant rubber hands, making the task more challenging than it appears at first glance.
Next up is the "Boing Boing" task, where the contestants must bounce a ball into a bucket from varying distances and angles. They are given 30 minutes to perfect their technique and score as many points as possible.
In the final task of the episode, the contestants are asked to write and perform a one-minute poem about a specific topic, with the catch that they are only allowed to use words that have been pre-approved by Alex and Greg. The creativity displayed in this task is impressive, with each contestant bringing their own style and sense of humor to their poem.
As always, the episode is filled with hilarious banter between host Greg and assistant Alex, as well as the competitive spirit and unique approaches of each contestant. With only a few episodes left in the season, the pressure is on for the remaining cast members to bring their A-game and impress the Taskmaster.
