* '''Task 2''': ''Find The Boiled Egg[[note]]the eggs were arranged in "alphabetical" order from the right -- namely, "Air" (empty), "Boiled", "Clingfilm", "Dummy", "Egg (Quail", "Fresh"[[/note]]. You May Touch Two Eggs And Damage Two Eggs (But May Not Damage The Boiled Egg). Fastest Wins''

* '''Live Task''': ''Get One Of Your Inflatable Donuts As High As Possible While Holding Hands With The Person On Either Side Of You. Highest Donut After 100 Seconds Wins[[note]]if the donut was in the air at the end of the task, it would be judged from where it landed.[[/note]]''

** Kerry (1 points)

This is the first (and as of 2021 only) team task in which one team member is scored separately to their teammates, although some future team tasks will see some contestants receive bonus points on top of their overall team score.

## James Acaster (12 points)

* '''Live Task''': '''''Team Task''' - Taking It In Turns, A Different Member Of Each Team Must Dangle One Item From The Hangar Within Twenty Seconds Of The Last Turn. Once You Have Touched An Item You Must Dangle It. First Team To Cause A Hanging Item To Fall Loses[[note]]as noted by James, this is essentially "Coathanger Buckaroo". Also, the Taskmaster was able to accurately predict that Rhod would make a joke about his weight.[[/note]]''

** Jessica and Phil (4 points)

** Phil - himself[[note]]he was born on January 22 1990; the Taskmaster initially gave him one point, but agreed to give him three on condition that Phil agreed to be "kept" in the house of the winner[[/note]]

** Rhod - a photo of "Holepunch", his "favourite [[Series/{{Gladiators}} Gladiator]]"... which bares a striking resemblance to [[OverlyLongGag the embarrassing photograph of the Taskmaster from episode 3]] (1 point)

* '''Task 2''': ''Don't Blink. Last To Blink Wins''

* '''Task 2''': ''Join The Tasks[[note]]separate tasks, each with an individual letter and a direction, have been hidden around the Taskmaster's House. The contestants have to locate all the tasks and piece together the letters to complete the instruction -- SCREAM. Quickest wins.[[/note]]''

** '''Winner: Phil (5 points)[[note]]Correctly guessed the glasses would be drinking glasses; despite breaking one of the glasses, points were awarded because the Taskmaster decreed that the rules only stated that a "pair" of glasses couldn't be broken, and the matching glass remained intact[[/note]]'''
** Jessica (4 points)
** Kerry (3 points)
** James (2 points)
** Rhod (Disqualified)[[note]]left the caravan before choosing a box, then went back... and chose a box too small to contain all the glasses.[[/note]]

** '''Winner: James (5 points)'''
** Kerry (4 points)
** Rhod (3 points)
** Jessica (2 points)
** Phil (1 point +1 bonus point)[[note]]bonus point awarded as Phil was the only contestant to find fifty literally different things in the bin, with no duplicate items. This was also awarded in lieu of the promised extra point the Taskmaster had promised to give Phil had he brought in a genuine piano key in the prize task.[[/note]]

** '''Winner: James (5 points)'''

** Jessica (3 points)
** James (2 points)
** Kerry (1 point)

** '''Winner: Rhod (5 points)[[note]]tied the Taskmaster's Assistant up before tying himself up, so securely that Rhod eventually had to free the Taskmaster's Assistant rather than the other way around[[/note]]'''
** James (4 points)
** Jessica (3 points)
** Kerry (2 points)
** Phil (1 point)

** '''Winner: Rhod (5 points)'''

This series marks the first time that more than two contestants have tied for amount of episodes won, including the eventual series champion. As of Series 12, it is the most recent series (and the only 10-episode series) where at least one contestant has never won an episode. This is the second series where each contestant has placed last in at least one episode.

** '''Winner: N/A[[note]]as Rhod put a sock in the satsuma but technically got the quickest time, James -- already smarting over the strict interpretation of the rules regarding the hula-hooping task -- objected on the grounds of bias and favouritism. The Taskmaster therefore ruled that the task would receive no winner "to avoid all this shit"[[/note]]'''

** '''Winner: Phil (5 points)[[note]]despite breaking one of the glasses, points were awarded because the Taskmaster decreed that the rules only stated that a "pair" of glasses couldn't be broken, and the matching glass remained intact[[/note]]'''

* James Acaster: 17 tasks (10 video tasks [1 joint with Jessica], 3 video team tasks, 1 "secret team task" [with everyone but Phil], 3 live tasks [1 joint with Jessica[note]She won 5 points for the task and James won 4, but he also won a bonus point promised by the task.[/note]])

** Phil - ''An ogre was hungry, ate a child. It was his.'' (2 points)

** James (1 point)

*** Rhod - ''a video of the Taskmaster sleeping, taken by Rhod after hiding in the Taskmaster's bedroom closet after a party
