I thought about giving you a cactus or a sword for the best pointy thing. Then I found this… this little guy is the King of Pointy. Every single spike is a tiny pointy thing of justice. And with his crown, he’s not just pointy - he’s regal. He rules the Kingdom of Pointy Things. He is also sooo cute

The hedgehog’s spikes? They're for self-defence. His crown? That's self-confidence. Together they are a lethal combination.

This is a pointy thing with real royal attitude!

I picked Stalactites cos they are amazing. Mother Nature is fantastically artistic. Stunning to look at. Very pointy! They are not easy to see in real life as they are located deep within caves.

Maru

Spoiler:

I have selected "high heels" because who doesn't appreciate the feeling that majesty can bring while also being able to reach the highest objects in the land (or at least in your cabinet).

[Benjamin]

So, were your items on point with the Task Master?…

[Benjamin]

Annie - Hedgehogs are on point. Also good for the double up crown, which he suits.

[Benjamin]

So that leaves Niamh and Mock getting 1 or 5 points…

[Benjamin]

1 point

Spoiler:

Mock - It is pointy and badass but its too scary and could take your eye out

5 points

Spoiler:

Niamh - a great object with a great name from a great scene from a great movie.

Next onto your 1st dates for the Task Master…

[Benjamin]

Kate

Spoiler:

Firstly I'd collect you at your door at 1pm in a chauffeured limo. Then it'd be off to an ice cream tasting session at a hotel, in a private room. You'd get to create your own recipe and have it made by a chef for you to take home. Then it'd be down to the bar for cocktails and nibbles galore and a DJ playing all your favourite tunes. Finally it'd be back to your room (just you) with a luxury canopy bed to enjoy a great sleep. Limo would return you home in the morning after breakfast which I'd pre order for you, to your taste, either cooked or continental. I'd leave you my number on a red napkin.

A reminder of your day/evening.










Always leave a date wanting more.

Maru

Spoiler:

A trip to an adult arcade

Basically it has access to booze, an eatery and also a place for dancing. So it's fully featured with a bit of everything



Our date at this wonderful arcade would be filled with friendly competition, as me & you enjoy classic games like air hockey, racing simulators, Skeeball (the best) and whatever catches our eye. This creates a relaxed atmosphere for getting to know each other while crafting brand new memories and winning small prizes together. We can spend a few hours with a good beverage and chatting as well getting to know each other and if we and when we feel inclined, hitting the dance floor until the late hours

[Benjamin]

Annie

Spoiler:

Our first date begins on a crisp Saturday morning in Edinburgh. We meet at a cosy café for a hearty Scottish breakfast (fuel is essential for what lies ahead).


Then, a quick stroll to an antique shop filled with mysterious treasures — you proudly identify the oldest golf club in the display while I pretend not to Google it.



Next stop: a round of crazy golf, because nothing says “romance” like fiercely competing over who can putt through a loop-the-loop in the fewest strokes.



We finish with front-row seats at a Rangers match - you in your scarf, me in earplugs (purely for atmosphere).




As the final whistle blows, I present you with a small antique hip flask… filled with Scottish Whisky. Classy.

Marked down for using an image!!! Where else would I get a pic of them. Fgs.

[Benjamin]

Niamh

Spoiler:

I bought us tickets to go see the Antiques Roadshow tour



I got my good friend Ronald to rustle us up some BBQ Quarter Pounder with Cheeses for the journey



After the show, I've booked us a VIP table at the Farmers Dog, where we will be joined by Jeremy himself



Kaleb is going to sneak us into the exclusive Farmers Clubhouse after dinner for a night cap, it's where they keep all the best Whiskys



Jeremy will then drop us back home in his Lamborghini tractor (can't give you a picture of that because I'm only allowed 4 pictures but close your eyes and picture it in you mind)

[Benjamin]

Mock

Spoiler:

I was thinking about taking the Task Master to somewhere unique, somewhere where they feel really special afterwards for receiving such a unique experience with someone as wunderbar as me sen.



I say, I say.

Trolltunga, Norway has beautiful scenery.



And it gives us a chance to get to know each other a little more intimately, and have fun along the way with experiencing Norwegian culture and scenery.

As they say in Norwegian "det spiller ingen rolle hvor sakte du går så lenge du ikke stopper," which means in English "it doesn't matter how slowly you go as long as you don't stop."

And as I say in my native language "beau" which means beautiful in English.

[Benjamin]

So how did your courtship of the Task Master go. Will they be after a 2nd date?…

[Benjamin]

The Task Master has said “it was very hard to dish out votes in these 2 rounds and everyone had very good and unique entries so I did find it hard. I would have given them all 5s for pointy things if I could!”

Benjamin. Tell that Taskmaster the reason for giving stalactites 1 point is bloody ridiculous.

Spoiler:

Mock - Well Norway is a favourite place of mine from a scenic perspective so that appeals and I am a sucker for a wise saying too. Not too keen on getting on a plane tho.

AND

Kate - thoughtful effort overall but I would not like a limo as people would think I am a hen party and that hotel room looks like it was decorated by Katy Price and Harvey

Niamh - well what a beautifully curated date this is - mixing the old and the new to craft a fun-packed day that is also kind to the pocket. And supporting local farmers what is not to love!
