* InformedFlaw: Greg paints John as being one of the most hopeless contestants in ''Taskmaster'' history. Points-wise, however, there was never a wide gap between himself, Fern, and Munya and he won two episodes before either Fern or Munya won one.
* TheLoad: Dara and Fern -- but especially Dara -- view him as a liability during team tasks.

one. (Though it should be kept in mind that all three spent the entire series languishing in the ''bottom'' three places and kept swapping last place; he also ended the series in joint last with Fern, the first time this has happened. Greg isn't ''entirely'' far off.)
* TheLoad: Dara and Fern -- but especially Dara -- view him as a liability during team tasks. Not ''wholly'' unfairly, it must be said.

* BigShutUp: By the time the team task shown in the final episode comes around, Dara's patience with John -- never vast -- has clearly run out to the point where he's in no mood to be asked whether his eye colour is "Sinatra blue".

* BlatantLies: If he comes up with a solution that he thinks will run afoul of Greg's reading of the rules, he'll say he's doing the Zimbabwean way of doing things.
-->'''Greg:''' Munya is alive with energy. Keen. Like a newt! Solving problems! And, you know, if doesn't manage to solve them through logic, he'll make something up, like "Zimbabwean Darts". Obviously, absolute horseshit...Sometimes, I don't know whether he's the best ambassador for Zimbabwe.

** During the final team task, where one member is supposed to act as the eyes and the other as the hands, she opted to be the hands. This was because the member acting as the eyes had to stand behind and above the other and if she'd taken the role, Munya's head and shoulders would have been smothered by her chest.

* TeamMom: She mentions feeling maternal towards Munya during team tasks and said that her going along with some of his zanier ideas was like a tired mother indulging an energetic child.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: Sarah aces a difficult task in episode 8, where the contestants were told to find a photo of their hand among hundreds of photos of the backs of strangers' hands. Sarah managed it in a single guess, because unlike every the other contestants (and the strangers) she posed her hand in a grip rather than flat, mainly because she thought the masturbation pose would look funnier.
