Spoiler Alert
If you're enjoying the book and don't wish to be influenced by other peoples Task attempts, this probably isn't the blog for you.
The following Task attempts were for the most part performed at a TaskMaster party and ranked/scored by our in-house TaskMaster stand-in.
NB: In an attempt to follow the format of the show, we try to stick to 5 points. This means in situations with 5+ people present, some contestants will be awarded the same number of points
