** He performed any of his tasks while suffering from two herniated disks in his spine which he needed surgery to fix following the shoot.


Added DiffLines:

* HandicappedBadass: Not physically, but he had two herniated disks which he needed surgery to fix following the shoot. It didn't slow him down at all.


Added DiffLines:

* LadyDrunk: Heavily downplayed, but she admitted to having drunk half a bottle of wine during the Hopscotch task, and drank seven shots of scotch during it despite being, in her own words, "properly fucked" already.


Added DiffLines:

* BigBeautifulWoman: Urzila is on the larger side, and the cast are visibly appreciative of her entry of boudoir photographs for one prize task, with her even offering Jeremy his own copies.
* BoisterousBruiser: Urzila is loud and outspoken, and at one point tells Paul that when a task requires her to wrestle or box him she will easily win.


Added DiffLines:

* TheGadfly: In the "Time Travel" task she essentially performs a monologue about her time in boarding school while smoking. However, since she hadn't learned to speak English at this point, she speaks in Afrikaans, to Paul's genuine confusion. She later admits that she hadn't told him in advance that she wouldn't be speaking English.


Added DiffLines:

* NWordPrivileges: Makes several jokes about her hometown of Benoni in South Africa, but grows aghast when Paul does so.


Added DiffLines:

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Urzila will freely admit to putting little effort into tasks she knows she won't win, most notably during the Christmas song task.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: For all the jokes about Matt's apparent incompetence at tasks and lack of foresight, his performance in "Bing Bang Schlong" is the single-best in all of Taskmaster NZ's history when it comes to final scores, with him earning 26 points, a rare point total he shares with the UK's Tim Vine (from Series 6's "H") and Creator/RichardHerring (from Series 10's "I Hate Your Trainers"). The only person to have surpassed him in an episode with standard scoring are Sophie Duker, who earned 28 points in Series 13, and Creator/DaraOBriain, who earned 30 points in Series 14, on the UK original. Beyond that, there are only Katherine Ryan and Richard Osman in Series 2's "A Pistachio Eclair" (with 30 and 27 points, respectively) was thanks to a live task that allowed contestants to earn points beyond the 5-point scale.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: Notably became the first person to intentionally cheat on Taskmaster (NZ). While building a castle out of Weet-Bix, he could get extra materials by eating dry biscuits. Instead of completely eating the biscuits, he took a few bites and hid the rest in his pockets, which got caught on camera and led to himself and Urzila getting disqualified.
