Performance[]
Aaron Chen: Aaron padded out Tom's muscles, then gave him a drink comprised of ketchup and the spiciest hot sauce you can buy. Tom declared "I'm the captain" before sipping the drink, which almost caused him to vomit. Aaron received 2 points.
Concetta Caristo: Concetta tried to get Tom to learn how to help somebody. She engaged in a bizarre role-play as Bransen the crocodile, where Tom eased Bransen's fears over being scammed and helped motivate him to find a job. Concetta received 1 point.
Mel Buttle: Mel filled out Tom's beard, renamed him to Leonardo, and made him read out a series of statements affirming his respect towards women. Mel received 3 points.
Peter Helliar: Pete logged in to Tom's bank account and made him donate $1000 to the Fistula Foundation. Pete received 5 points.
Rhys Nicholson: Rhys dressed Tom up as Tom G, then did a very unflattering impression of the Taskmaster's assistant. Rhys received 4 points.
Trivia[]
- When Tom G called Rhys a suck-up after their attempt was shown, they thanked him for both using the phrase "suck-up" and their correct pronouns, claiming that it "tickled me in two different ways", inspiring the episode name.
