Taskmaster Portugal – Season 1

Single, but staffed
In this first episode of the show, the contestants must bring in the most embarrassing thing, fell all the ducks, extract a ping-pong ball from a tube, name birds while chewing on gummy candies, retrace a blindfolded walk as accurately as possible, score a basket without using their hands, make a weighing scale read out a particular weight, and guess the five syllable words being enunciated by the Taskmaster.
Symmetry is fundamental
In this episode the contestants must bring in the best thing they have taken from someone else's home, find out about a Chinese person, eat as much watermelon as possible, unravel a roll of tape, paint a horse while riding a horse, create an impressive fountain, spectacularly deliver a task brief, and roll a toilet roll across the stage.

I had so many dreams...
In this episode the contestants must bring in the most boring thing, throw a teabag into a mug, score a goal from the greatest distance, draw their face on a visor, transport a coconut, fill a cup with tears, empty a bathtub, and throw some things (but not too far).

Life isn't all about strength
In this episode the contestants must bring in the most spectacular battery-operated item, move water from one bucket to another, make a block of ice disappear, conceal grapes in their mouths or hands, try not to blink, make a body part abnormally long, reach a microwave in the fewest steps, and draw the second longest snake. The guest contestant is Pedro Torchas.
A kind of egg of Columbus
In this episode the contestants must bring in the scariest thing, put 50 different things in a bin, make a portrait from their 50 items, slow the descent of a wooden spoon, get dressed while wearing handcuffs, do something impressive in reverse, pass the largest thing through a doughnut, choreograph a dance to a ringtone, and inflate the largest balloon while blindfolded.

Simplify to the max
In this episode the contestants must bring in the most surprising photo of themselves, give Markl a special treat, throw something over a wall and into a bin, communicate images by tracing them on their team-mates' backs, invent a new handshake, make the highest splash, perform a quick-change, and identify the shortest breadsticks in their competitors' aprons. The guest contestant is Carla Andrino.
Little golden hands
In this episode the contestants must bring in the most satisfying item, catapult a shoe into a bathtub, travel as far as possible while making a constant noise, lift a bunch of items into the air with one hand, camouflage themselves, blow out a candle from a distance, create and eat an exotic sandwich, and stack plates and bowls on their heads. The guest contestant is Jorge Mourato.
And they lived happily ever after...
In this season finale, the contestants must bring in something life-changing, work out what Markl is wearing, sneeze the fastest, get into two sleeping bags, make a mess and then clean it up, draw a portrait of the Taskmaster across a flipchart, record some incredible PoV footage, and then slide drinks to the Taskmaster.
