Is there a reason people are talking in code about the S17 contestants instead of just listing the names?

Even the Taskmaster Reddit sub is deleting them now. They were rumoured/unofficially announced as;


Joanne McNally
Nick Mohammed
Sophie Willan
John Robins
Steve Pemberton


Nobody I'm really super excited about but I've learned that it's hard to predict who's going to be a hilarious contestant.

They always (attempt to) do, it's one of the sub posting rules. Fortunately there aren't any wkflaps here who would post spoilers

COC Q&A. It's on Sunday 9pm, not Thursday.

Really looking forward to this, really glad we've got Kiell over Mae and I love Morgana.

I'd say it'll be between Dara and Sophie as both were super competitive but then Ed Gamble was the same and he completely crumbled in his COC so anything could happen....

Yep really looking forward, same opinion re Kiell vs Mae. Don't discount Sarah Kendall swearing like a sailor per any good Aussie.

Morgana

tell me about it - whilst not conventionally beautiful she’s a total femme fatale x10

[FiF]

The costume variation is bizarre.

Morgan, total sexy vamp.
Sophie, big blue bird
Sarah, just nipped out to pick kids up from school
Kiell, version of Joseph's multi coloured coat
Data, variation on Clarkson jacket and jeans.

Jo McNally
John Robins
Nick Mohammed
Sophie Willan
Steve Pemberton.

I don't think I know Jo McNally, I know John Robins from Bad Golf on YouTube with Alex Horne, Nick Mohammed from Ted Lasso, Sophie Willan is from Alma's Not Normal which I haven't seen, Steve Pemberton of course from Inside No.9, League of Gentlemen etc.

Morgana

That whole episode was absolutely brilliant. Would happily watch it again tonight. Kiell was a highlight, again. I wondered if it was a happy coincidence May wasn't available.

[FourWheelDrift]

If Steve Pemberton doesn't win I will be surprised.

Apart from Morgana's outfits the highlight for me was the hand puppet of Alex, other than that I thought it was a bit of a flat CoC tbh!. & S17 I only know Steve Pemberton so it could be interesting finding out what the others are like.

The wife is very excited by Joanne McNally, knows her from elsewhere and thinks she'll be great

[bobbo89]

That was a good COC, Morgana with the paint was insane!

Nick Mohammed's outfit for the next one is a madness, full Dracula style get-up with the cape and everything

Pemberton should be a slam dunk given his wickedly creative brain. Robins I haven't seen much in standup but I do like his How Do you Cope podcast with Elis, he's a very complex character that will fly or fall I suspect and he's probably been torn with signing up or not. Not familiar with the other 3 but something tells me Nick has been in dictionary corner.

Yes Nick has been on cats does countdown a few times as Mr Swallow. Not exactly instantly recognisable from the photo!

Something which seemed to slip by unnoticed on CofC.

Kiels comment in the Feed Alex Breakfast task which went something along the lines of. ‘If a drawing of a pineapple counts as a pineapple then this dummy can count as Alex’

It was addressed and shut down pretty quickly when Kiell was trying to justify it - Greg is nothing if not fickle and mercurial, and he was fickle.and mercurial.

It didn't help that Kiell himself said that it wasn't Alex when he first found the dummy.
