Ranking Every Taskmaster Contestant*

Just a list I’ve worked on for the last few years in my drafts and never published, because why would anyone bother to do this without write-ups or statistics, without ever being asked to do it in the first place? But, it’s time to just get it out there.

Basically I judged this on: were they fun to watch, did they bring a character to the show I enjoyed, did they seem to enjoy it themselves, or did they seem to care at all? 

I noticed a few patterns. My least favorite seem to be the women who showed up and didn’t really have any familiarity with the show or any interest in competing. Just up from there is a grouping of hapless middle-aged men who I felt weird watching as they failed. 

On the other hand, if they were too competitive, I didn’t appreciate that, either. I feel bad putting Ed Gamble down at #20—I listen to him on two podcasts, but he was way too aggressively competitive in Taskmaster. It’s also part of why Iain Sterling, who otherwise would’ve had a higher spot on the list just by nature of being Scottish, but he really made an ass of himself throughout Series 8. 

Bias is probably the reason my #1 is my #1. A major theme of many of my top favorites seems to be that they are lanky, smart-dumbass types. 

I know there are several people will disagree with me on. Would love to hear what y’all think! 

Anyway, here it is, updated through season 14.

Threshold Day is the glorious day when Tom Paris hit warp 10 because daddy issues and then devolved into a lizard after yelling about pepperoni and losing his whole tongue. Paris then kidnapped Janeway and hit warp 10 again whereupon Janeway devolved into a lizard, initiated hot lizard sex and they had awesome lizard babies together. When a rescue crew turned up three days later, Janeway and Paris ABANDONED their precious lizard children and their offspring are never mentioned again, ever, the end.

Is there anyone out there still with a really good memory for mazlek fics? I have one I’m trying to find that I read in passing years ago but can’t remember who wrote it. 🙃😞 the story was basically them reconnecting on BoRhap in one of their trailers after a period of awkwardness, years after The Pacific…
