It also marks the fourth time the series champion has tied with another contestant for most episodes won, and the fifth time there has been an episode tie overall.

     Task Tally 
A breakdown of the tasks as won by the contestants is as follows:

  • Lee Mack: 17 tasks (2 prize tasks, 5 video tasks, 5 video team tasks, 4 live tasks, 1 live team task)
  • Mike Wozniak: 15 tasks (2 prize tasks, 5 video tasks, 5 video team tasks, 1 trick task, 1 live task, 1 live team task)

  • Charlotte Ritchie: 8 tasks (2 prize tasks, 3 video tasks, 1 video team task, 1 live task, 1 live team task)

The prize task for episode 8 had no winner; everyone was given 3 points.

Sarah has won the fewest tasks of any series winner since the series have had 10 episodes.

     Episode Titles 
Each episode is a Title Drop made by either a participant in the show, the Taskmaster, or the Taskmaster's Assistant. In this series, the titles were provided by:

  • Episode 1: Mike Wozniak (after the Taskmaster's Assistant apologises to him for having to complete the "deliver all the plates to the Taskmaster's Assistant" task during a heavy rain storm.)
  • Episode 2: The Taskmaster (when Mike Wozniak is explaining why, in his submission for the "make the most haunted Taskmaster House" video, the Taskmaster's Assistant would ignore an obviously "hemisected" Mike outside, being tempted by the combination of treacle and puppies; Mike repeats the title in confirmation)
  • Episode 3: The Taskmaster (discussing the ramifications if Charlotte Ritchie had managed to run faster than gravity in the "make the sauna stones hiss from behind the rope" task: "You'd be able to run up a tree to the moon!")
  • Episode 4: Mike Wozniak (one of his guesses for the contents of the bowl in the "write down what five things are in this bowl without looking" live task.)
  • Episode 5: The Taskmaster (part of his instructions / countdown for the live task: "Three two one, slap and tong.")
  • Episode 6: Mike Wozniak (his description of the... unfortunate results of his attempt at completing the "fart" solo task he was assigned, during which he also dislodged a hemorrhoid: "Oh, it's an absolute casserole down there.")
  • Episode 7: Mike Wozniak (his way to "undermine the vole" in the "complete the most tasks on the flammable list" task: "You've got no chutzpah! Your organisational skills are lacklustre! Your timekeeping is abysmal!")
  • Episode 8: The Taskmaster (describing the "British animal" Mike Wozniak and Lee Mack created as an amalgamation in the "draw the best picture of a British animal" team task, on learning that the animal's young apparently "queue up" in order to feed.)
  • Episode 9: The Taskmaster (naming two of the characters created by Charlotte Ritchie for the "look the most different in four photos taken by this camera" task, both of which he believes will appear on the children's programme she is apparently auditioning for: "Only two out of the four go straight onto the children's show — Mr Octopus and Potty-Hands.")
  • Episode 10: Sarah Kendall (describing the insanity of her attempt to corral both Charlotte Ritchie and Jamali Maddix during the "direct your sightless teammate into the red circle" team task: "I thought I'd better activate Jamali, because then I've gotta...")

Although he shares the amount of direct title drops with Liza Tarbuck and James Acaster, Mike Wozniak has to date been involved with more episode titles than any other contestant; in addition to the four he directly provides, a further two are made in reference to task attempts he was involved with and conversations the Taskmaster was having with him, bringing the total amount of episode titles he is connected with to six.

Series Ranking

  1. Winner: Sarah Kendall - 158 points
  2. Mike Wozniak - 154 points
  3. Lee Mack - 151 points
  4. Jamali Maddix - 137 points
  5. Charlotte Ritchie - 125 points

Except for Jamali, every contestant this series has earned the same series score as a previous Taskmaster contestant (or two, in the case of Sarah Kendall). When arranged from last-place to winner, the ranking order also follows the alphabetical-by-first-name seating order that the show uses, the first and (as of this series) only time this has occurred.
