Just watched a new episode from Taskmaster NZ. I think Australia has the best alternate Taskmaster, but NZ has the best alternate Alex Horne.

100% agreed. Greater Tom is a pretty good taskmaster, and i think the first AU season is about as good as any of the UK ones.

Agreed on both points.

The secret is everybody is having fun.
There are no stakes just funny people trying to figure out absurd 'puzzles'.

I've never once watched an episode, but English Heritage have a taskmaster "event" on at some of their sites, had fun doing that with the kids this summer.

I recommend it; it's fun and often goofy. That said, the competitors are sometimes NSFW.
