Dear Taskmaster Contestants.

Am I surprised three of you guessed me? No, not really. In my head I’m all ‘woman of intrigue and mystery’. Only in my head though, I’m well aware of that… No one from East Ham has ever been a person of either intrigue or mystery.

I want to apologise to every one of you for the mean things I said. Even the entries who scored lowest were brilliant, every one of you have made me laugh and in almost every round I could have scored everyone the same or at least all joint first and second. But you know what a tough boss Ben is and he made me judge you all. I didn’t try to work out who was who and it was never obvious to me.

I genuinely like every one of you and felt terrible saying some of the things I said. Sorry you had to drop out Shaun, you were missed. And Parmy, you were missed also, your responses to some of the comments were hilarious and I loved your choice of songs for the TM with the comment, “based on the fact there isn’t a song called ******* you”. Genuinely made me laugh out loud.

Thanks Ben, for running this. I’ve really enjoyed it.

For the record, the rounds I would have liked to have taken part in are, favourite dinner party guest, best thing to stick your finger in and what would you like to sit on. The answer to all three is, Tom Hardy.

Oh, you should've been here for LT's season. The roasts.... He didn't even show up for the Finale and I don't think he ever commented in the thread ever again. It was very iconic.

I know she did not appreciate it (and I hope she feels better soon), but one highlight for me was when he kept yeeting Kate's score because she was using images with watermarks. She could've had some fun editing all her entries with extraneous amounts of watermarks. I'm diabolical enough I would've screenshotted some Tibb text and extend the watermarks into the text and made it all animated. And then made sure that it wasn't compressed at all so that it looked super legit. It's not like the score can go any lower than 1.

LOL... That sounds SO like him. You're a terror, Maru. I wish I was more creative when it comes to computer stuff, I'd be cutting and pasting only. I can imagine the carnage when LT was TM. I'm genuinely sorry I missed it.

Lol Maru. I'm truly absolutely crap at this game, my design skills are zero! I might rake part again though so nobody else has to be bottom

I think he figured out we were onto him and because he has a reputation to manage as the forum terror, it's only natural his exit matched up with his villainy before the great reveal. Loved his brutal delivery, though.

See at a point I care more about the fun factor than winning. I would like to creatively get that 1. What will TM say, I needed to be rated a 0? Ben would never allow a 0.

I'm the young kid that gets asked by people to join a FPS game with no idea what I'm doing, so I just to keep jumping into pits to make my score go into the negatives for the astonished player reactions... or to play healer of evil when I should be killing everyone. I like role playing games, don't ask me to play a shooter.

Of course I had the perfect opportunity to do this in a proper setting because it's freaking Texas, but could not remember where the cowfields were. Houston has no zoning so it literally could be anywhere. They used to be nearby but they are turning it into flood retention, I think so it's under construction. They used to escape and we would find cow paddies all over the neighborhood. It was brilliant.

I'm surprised I only have the one shot of it falling down too because it happened A LOT.

We met another family going through the park looking for areas to photograph. I tried to get him to stand in a chain link fence, but the wind wasn't having it. And eventually we met another family and I couldn't not let child go off and play, so that ended the photo trip. Now I want to do some other random artpiece. Maybe utilize wood so I can just leave it hanging out somewhere in the neighborhood...leave it in a tree, etc. I'm weird.

Loved your cow and its photoshoot so much.
