* Episode 1 - '''Paul Ego''' (venting his frustration at being disqualified from the golf task... and having completely failed to notice ''the'' golf hole when returning to the house from giving up on the task: "FUCK GOLF!")
* Episode 2 - '''Paul Ego''' (defending his decision to tape condiment bottles to his chests: "Some fantastic, dramatic performances, but I thought how dramatic it would be to exit a shed, and I've always wanted sauce tits.")
* Episode 3 - '''Paul Ego''' (: "You see the Mexican flag flying up there and you'd go 'Oh, time for some lasagna!'")
* Episode 4 - '''Chris Parker''' (: "My favourite - Herbs and Spices Thai Restaurant - there's a dinner voucher right there")
* Episode 5 - '''Kura Forrester''' (: "YES! The Prime Minister thanks you.")
* Episode 6 - '''Chris Parker''' (: "Paul's urine's very sweet (...) It tastes like sweet navel orange.")
* Episode 7 - '''Josh Thomson''' (: "But it was a real anal feast. (...) It was really just butt-heavy. I'm so sorry!")
* Episode 8 - '''Justine Smith''' (: "Best best friends wins.")
* Episode 9 - '''Josh Thomson''' (The tagline for Josh's cereal advertisement for ''Mustachios'': "Well, alright!")
* Episode 10 - '''Paul Ego''' (after being told "wap" is not an appropriate sound effect for cutlery: "Is it some of that wet ass cutlery?")

Chris Parker is the first contestant with a three- and four-episode winning streak in Taskmaster NZ history, and the first NZ contestant to win four and five episodes. This record equals Richard Herring's 5-episode win during his series in the UK programme, although Herring managed a three-episode winning streak. He now holds the record of the most episode wins without winning the entire season, beating out previous record holders Brynley Stent (Season 1) and Guy Montgomery (Season 2), who won three episodes in their respective seasons. Josh Thomson is the first NZ contestant to win the first two episodes back to back, a feat managed only by Kerry Godliman and Chris Ramsey in the UK programme. He also won the first and last episodes of the season. Chris and Josh collectively won 8 out of 10 of the episodes in their season. Justine Smith is the first NZ contestant not to win an episode, although she did tie with the most points in "Sweet Navel Orange."
