Taskmaster's season 22 champion speaks: "Every point that I earned was deserved and sensical"

Taskmaster's 22nd season concluded with Chloe Petts emerging victorious as the champion. The British panel show and comedic challenge featured contestants Chloe Petts, Isy Suttie, Matt Lucas, Nina Conti, and Richard Ayoade. Petts, known for their Edinburgh Fringe appearances and a Netflix comedy special, won the trophy designed with Greg Davies' golden head.

The comedian emphasized that every point they earned was deserved and made sense, praising the blend of merit and arbitrariness in the tasks that kept them engaged. Petts also shared their thoughts on the show's various task types, ranking them from least to most preferred, with art tasks being their least favorite. The prize task, where they had to bring in a joke and ask Greg Davies for a rating, was described as terrifying, yet they found satisfaction in choosing a practical object reflective of their character.
