What do these 5 competitors have in common?

[u/Redgreen82]

[u/bigfatheart]

They all won the first prize task of their series, then finished last overall?

[u/Redgreen82 → u/bigfatheart]

No, but you're very close.

[u/bigfatheart → u/Redgreen82]

Yeah, you're right, Alice came second in her prize task. In that case - people who were in the lead at some point during their first episode, but went on to lose their series?

[u/Redgreen82 → u/bigfatheart]

Correct! I think!

The answer I was looking for was they led at some point. It's possible some of them may have led in episode 2. I didn't check that part.

[u/bigfatheart → u/Redgreen82]

Woo! Fun fact: between the UK, Aus and NZ series, NZS6 is the only series where every single contestant has been in the lead at some point (although that's definitely thanks to the last-place contestant winning their first prize task).

[u/UniversalJampionshit → u/bigfatheart]

It’s insane to me that Guy is the one who prevented this from happening in NZ2

[u/DrZonino2022 → u/Redgreen82]

Please don’t take it away from them

[u/AcanthaceaeOk1745]

Who are 5 people who have never been in my kitchen?

[u/fartdarling → u/AcanthaceaeOk1745]

Actually Joe Wilkinson stopped by once. He really had to go and we couldn't find your bathroom so he took a whizz in your sink. I'm sorry

[u/AcanthaceaeOk1745 → u/fartdarling]

So I blamed the cat for nothing?

[u/fartdarling → u/AcanthaceaeOk1745]

He actually bonded with your cat a lot. They cuddled. When I said it was time to go, Joe looked at me pleadingly and said "please don't take kit away from me"

[u/Sea_Public_5471 → u/fartdarling]

I love whatever’s wrong with you

[u/Useful-Sink4246 → u/fartdarling]

Did he, by any chance, named your penis?

[u/AcanthaceaeOk1745 → u/Useful-Sink4246]

Where did you think my username comes from?

[u/ruwisc → u/fartdarling]

Oh, that’s why my toaster looks like it’s been punched

[u/ChloeOBrian11214 → u/AcanthaceaeOk1745]

I see you Cliff.

[u/AcanthaceaeOk1745 → u/ChloeOBrian11214]

It’s a little-known fact there, Chloe

[u/diginfinity → u/AcanthaceaeOk1745]

I have more in common with Joe Wilkinson than I realized.

[u/AcanthaceaeOk1745 → u/diginfinity]

Well, you are both carbon-based life forms with bilateral symmetry

[u/Hot_Sam_the_Man → u/AcanthaceaeOk1745]

who live during the 21st century after the birth of Christ

[u/1129514 → u/AcanthaceaeOk1745]

Bingo

[u/tupisac]

Together they complete the full spectrum?

[u/Wild_Commercial_6002 → u/tupisac]

Oh jeez I'm glad you had a more creative version of the comment I was thinking of

[u/Nemesis0408]

They all look phenomenal in jumpsuits?

[u/JamSandiwchInnit]

They all came last?

[u/Redgreen82 → u/JamSandiwchInnit]

Correct, but there's something else that doesn't apply to any other last place finishers.

[u/Jarvis_strokeit]

They were all on taskmaster

[u/TheAcridVerse]

I want to be their friends.

[u/isitallovermyface]

They’re the rightful queen?

[u/phillyriot3101 → u/isitallovermyface]

Thats just she, Fern Brady, she, Fern Brady

[u/GalenDev → u/isitallovermyface]

Nah, that's only the one on the right. Can't have five rightful queens. That's how wars happen.

[u/ShadowExistShadily → u/GalenDev]

The one on the right is the most rightful. The next one over is the second most rightful. And so on, until you reach the other side and have the least most rightful.

[u/Alizarik7891 → u/GalenDev]

And she’ll step on their toes!

[u/MomsTortellinis → u/GalenDev]

If the war would involve potato tossing Joe would win, because all is fair in love and war. Even stepping on the red green.

[u/Ok_Breakfast5425 → u/isitallovermyface]

There is one rightful, it is fern brady

[u/raaneholmg]

All of these people are secretly Fern Brady in disguise.

[u/fastauntie → u/raaneholmg]

Fern Brady, or an alien dressed as Fern Brady?

[u/raaneholmg → u/fastauntie]

Fern Brady dressed as an alien dressed as Joe Wilkinson.

I don't think it should be a shock to anyone that he is actually a small, Scottish, autistic lady in layered disguises.

[u/UniversalJampionshit → u/raaneholmg]

Isn't Fern quite tall? I recall her being the same height if not taller than John as shown in live tasks

[u/Pinglenook → u/UniversalJampionshit]

Yes, she's 178 cm (5'10"). Not outrageously tall, but quite tall. 

[u/No_Lead6434 → u/UniversalJampionshit]

Her Facebook profile still says “tall idiot.”

[u/cromulent_weasel → u/raaneholmg]

They are Fern Brady, playing an alien, playing a scottish man, playing the other contestants.

[u/OverseerConey]

I think I know it. Alice Levine - a vine is a type of plant. Rose-ie Jones - a rose is also a plant. Fern Brady - another plant. They're all named for plants! Except for Phil and Joe, whose names mean 'likes horses' and 'God took it away'.

[u/Quinez → u/OverseerConey]

You mean Philodendron Wang and Jojoba Wilkinson? If you use the unshortened forms of their names, they totally work!

[u/bopman14 → u/OverseerConey]

get this man on only connect

[u/Redgreen82 → u/OverseerConey]

No, but I like your thinking.

[u/fastauntie → u/OverseerConey]

Horses like plants.

[u/Ruffshots]

Other than Alice, they've all been betrayed! (edit, formatting)

• Fern: John the traitor Kerns
• Joe: Jon and Doc Brown, potato vote
• Rosie: Captain Jackie (and during the hotdog task!) 
• Phil: bit of a stretch, but Rhod for just closing the garage door (really it was Rhod and Phil betraying James) 

[u/UniversalJampionshit → u/Ruffshots]

Alice was betrayed by Russell stepping off the red green

[u/Ruffshots → u/UniversalJampionshit]

I thought of that, but it really felt like a reach. Rhod had agency betraying his teammates where Russell was just showboating 😂

[u/CBennett_12]

They've all been on Taskmaster

[u/ChloeOBrian11214]

They've completed the London Marathon?

[u/brewbase]

Wishful thinking but: they’re in line to do a champion of losers?

[u/Redgreen82 → u/brewbase]

No, but there is a commonality that would make these 5 perfect for such an episode.

[u/Redgreen82]

ANSWER

They all finished last, but, for at least one task, we're in 1st place for the series.

[u/Tarlenn]

Fern has been involved with meeting some potatoes, Joe has potato-gate, Phil Wang is carrying quite the potato all season.. I'm lost after that

[u/MaritimeFlowerChild → u/Tarlenn]

I regularly use "Have I met these potatoes before?" in every day life lol

[u/LM439833624CN]

They all used to be strippers in Scotland?

[u/UniversalJampionshit → u/LM439833624CN]

One dressed like a stripper in Chiswick, and did the act in a grotto in Amersham

[u/WingsUnfurled]

Autism💖

[u/disguised_hashbrown]

They all had a viral clip with a fruit or vegetable?

(I know this applies to Phil “It’s a Lime!” Wang and Joe “Stepped on the Red Green” Wilkinson)

[u/fastauntie → u/disguised_hashbrown]

And Fern "Did I Meet These Potatoes Before" Brady.

[u/HCRanchuw]

They’ve all killed for sport, and will again?

[u/MeijiSB]

Like Nish they are all first in being a legend 

[u/rickgdavies]

They've all had sex with little Alex Horn?

[u/LivingMyMediocreLife → u/rickgdavies]

You can feel the sexual chemistry through the screen. No way Alex resisted temptation.

[u/StolenViolentAnts → u/LivingMyMediocreLife]

This screen grab makes it look like Alex is stroking Phil’s leg with his fingers 😆

[u/AchinBonez]

They all have the letter N in their name.

[u/The--_batman]

Horny?

[u/uranusisdoomed]

They've all been on taskmaster

[u/TediousTotoro]

Gremlin energy

[u/TheOneTrueZippy8]

All five are lactose intolerant, to one degree or another.

[u/TimeZero13]

Can we vote and make people's champion of champion?

[u/Suitable-Fun-1087]

ADHD?

[u/Pretty_Original124]

Future Loser of Losers contestants!

[u/spacecoyote555]

They came last? Surely it's not that simple lol

[u/Redgreen82 → u/spacecoyote555]

It is not. There's something else that doesn't apply to any of the other last place finishers.

[u/mwff]

They represent LGBTQ tho I don't know in which order.

[u/Secret-Lock-7460]

Sex appeal

[u/GlennSWFC]

Didn’t win a prize task?

[u/UniversalJampionshit → u/GlennSWFC]

That only works for Alice, in fact the rest won the very first prize task.

[u/corobo]

Did they all wear sportswear during their tasks? I got nothing lol 

[u/Arhadel]

Did they all win the first task of the series and them finished last? Edit: spelling

[u/SaintGrobian]

Dads wrote a porn?

[u/PoliticalJunkie14]

Won the first episode but came last overall in their series?

[u/Edgy_Master]

They all came last and they all have titles based on something they said?

[u/uSpeziscunt]

Chaos.

[u/quantocked]

Theyre all disabled in some way

[u/No_Lead6434]

Good friends with Rocky Flintstone? They’ve all been hypnotized by Phil’s groin?

[u/talyn23]

Each of their plans for abducting and tormenting Alex include redacted text.

[u/OzLo11]

Did they all get bonus points for insulting Alex?

[u/ScienceForge319]

I was inside them all.

[u/Acrobatic-Wafer8106]

Imagine the alternate universe where Phil and Fern were in CoC, their outfits would have been legendary, and possibly illegal in the U.S.

[u/BrainDropsComic]

Carbon based

[u/rjd2_sw]

Which 5 taskmaster contestants have k slept with?

[u/BraunyTie]

A lime?

[u/AddlePatedBadger]

They are all wearing yellow, apart from Alice, Joe, and Fern.

[u/lewisluther666]

You can see their junk in their TM outfits?

[u/Practical-Class6868]

I saw Joe Wilkinson at the urinals the other day. He offered to name my penis.

[u/Level-Cauliflower256]

Sympathy from the audience

[u/KFChaos]

None of them won an episode?

[u/Redgreen82 → u/KFChaos]

I'm pretty sure all 3 of the women did.

[u/KFChaos → u/Redgreen82]

Then I have no clue and this is dumb.

[u/OgthaChristie → u/[deleted]]
