Back with more Taskmaster rankings. I have now watched the 5 existing seasons of Taskmaster Australia and am ready to rank its contestants. I feel like Australia has less GREAT contestants than its UK counterpart, but also less who are outright bad. And once again, I have made a perfect list.

I’ve spent the last bit talking to dozens of alumni of Alex Trebek’s favorite part of Jeopardy!: the Teen Tournament. Come journey into what happens when you put 15 very smart teenagers on national TV, from queasy contestants and dance parties to romance and trivia glory: slate.com/culture/2026...

Jeff Haylon (2012 quarterfinalist): My hands were shaking so badly that I had to rest them on the stand in front of me with the buzzer. I don’t believe this is allowed anymore, but it was that or have people concerned I was undergoing a medical emergency of some kind.

Eschliman (2012): I was sitting in the audience while everyone else was taping, and when it was my turn to tape, I had sweated through my dress shirt. They ushered me backstage, had me raise my arms, and used a blow-dryer to try to mitigate the pit stains.

Zielenski (1995): I was often dry heaving and sipping on water. The others must have thought I was nuts.

It's kind of crazy that Papa Roach tried to predict the death knell of nu-metal (and got fairly close) and so made a not nu-metal album, which might have worked if it was good (it's not) but HAD they made just another nu-metal album in 2002, it would've greatly helped their 2020s revival case
