Chaos, Comedy, and a Crown in Taskmaster’s Big Finale
Here’s the latest buzz from the wonderfully chaotic world of Taskmaster , where Season 20 wrapped up with an episode that felt like a full-blown circus—only with more apple juice mishaps and considerably wetter assistants. The episode, titled “Supping from the Fountain,” delivered the perfect blend of silliness, tension, and that classic Taskmaster unpredictability that keeps everyone hooked.

So, picture this: the finalists are scrambling toward the finish line, and the atmosphere is buzzing with the kind of barely contained mutiny that only Taskmaster contestants can produce. Ania Magliano , for one, spends a good chunk of the episode nervously worrying about leaving Phil Ellis unsupervised—not exactly an unreasonable concern considering the show’s history of contestant-induced chaos. Meanwhile, Maisie Adam finds herself in a very specific kind of trouble as apple juice ends up in her ear. It’s said very casually, but yes, apple juice in the ear —the kind of sentence that makes sense only on this show.
Then there’s Reece Shearsmith , who decides that the finale is the perfect time to try out a new nose . Whether it’s an experiment, a prop, or some odd panic response is left to the viewer’s imagination, but it fits perfectly into the momentum of escalating absurdity. And speaking of rising emotions, Sanjeev Bhaskar ends up losing his temper over the word “flanks,” of all things. Only on Taskmaster can vocabulary ignite that kind of passion.
Through all this pandemonium, Alex Horne —Taskmaster’s ever-suffering assistant—gets drenched repeatedly. Not splashed. Not spritzed. Drenched. It’s almost a running joke at this point, except it’s happening in real time, and you can practically feel Greg Davies enjoying every moment of Alex’s soggy despair.
And finally, with the contestants exhausted, drenched, confused, and slightly sticky, Greg Davies steps in to do what he does best: pass judgment with a mixture of personal whimsy and absolute authority. By the end of the episode, the new champion is crowned, officially closing out a season that has been packed with ingenuity, blunders, and moments that no one could have scripted.
So if you’re into chaos presented as competition, or competition disguised as chaos, this finale delivers exactly what you’d hope for. Season 20 goes out with a bang, a splash, and a reminder that Taskmaster remains one of the most unpredictable—and entertaining—shows on television.
