Taskmaster Season 22 Turns a Blindfolded Obstacle Course Into a Bloody Disaster: Exclusive
A task with one rule
The Episode 8 challenge gives each contestant ten minutes to prepare for a blindfolded obstacle course. Their key instruction is to avoid touching anything orange. The course is crowded with orange objects, turning the rule into a test of memory and movement. The preview features Nina Conti, Isy Suttie, Matt Lucas, Richard Ayoade and Chloe Petts.
Petts plans her route
Petts takes preparation seriously, counting her steps and asking Alex Horne to record the details. She also considers the difference between a full step and a three-quarter step, hoping she can recall the measurements while blindfolded.
The contestants inspect the course and read the instructions before attempting the challenge. Petts’s careful planning does not prevent trouble once she starts moving.
Rough ground brings scrapes
During her attempt, Petts crawls under obstacles and tries to steer clear of a machine with swinging sausages. She eventually drags herself across rough ground on her hands and knees.
By the time she reaches the grass, her knees are bleeding and show painful-looking scrapes. The preview captures the physical cost of the challenge, despite its simple rule.
