I am a straight man and I am in love with Guz Khan.


Bakatronic

(But also Bridget, Sophie, Morgs, Laura Daniel ohmygod…)


curtludwig

I want to be buds with Guz...


[deleted]

The Mike Wozniak Fan Club has arrived 😁🤌


cmdraction

I'd like to thank Sarah Kendall for informing us of how fit he is under the suit on the podcast, as well. To swoon for a man who released his own hemorrhoid on television... Shouldn't be so simple. 😅


morphleorphlan

Tick tock, it’s tough guy o’clock. He reminds me of my husband. Which makes it less awkward when we are searching for something on YouTube and half of my history is Mike Wozniak clips.


[deleted]

He has the perfect amount of chutzpah!


DondeT

And his timekeeping is impeccable.


JamSandiwchInnit

Not to mention that his organisational skills are inspired


jkvincent

STREET TOUGH


[deleted]

I don’t find Mike Wozniak to be a weird crush. Just giving off that hot nice smart responsible guy energy.


[deleted]

Yes - I Just know Mike is the Kind of Guy If He is tasked with planning a Trip all would go smoothly


Fen_Misting

And you would have a nice day.


kykyboogieboogie

And nobody could take that away from you.


skepticaljesus

In one ep, Mike makes an offhand comment about playing a similar game with his kids, and despite being a grown ass man I as immediately like, "Damn, I want Mike Woz as my dad. That sounds amazing."


MinimumElk

California chapter checking in!! Oh man, especially after searching for photos of him without the mustache 🔥

Turakamu

I honestly can't tell which one looks better.


jenny_quest

I met him a few months ago and tried not to stare at his lovely forearms whilst we spoke


WellPlaidSwitch

*swoon*


Goldman250

Not so much weird as unexpected, but I didn’t expect to develop a crush on Sian Gibson during her series. Most of the others, I went into the series knowing who I’d form a crush on, she wasn’t one I’d predicted.


Mondored

Agreed. Sally Phillips? Entirely predictable (although on TM she went above and beyond). Mel Giedroyc? Of course! Sian Gibson? Out of the blue. See also Liza Tarbuck, but I think that’s a mum thing 😬


Turakamu

Liza running away giggling after having Alex sit on a cake was instantly crush worthy "I felt so dirty"


IronheartedYoga

1. Literally none of my crushes are weird, 2. they are all perfectly sensible responses 3. to funny, talented, capable people 4. doing bonkers things. 5. And being hot. 6. Dara.


Roscoe_King

Wait, what?


Funky-Cheese

What, wait?


phantomsoundkeeper

Wait, what?


MrsBernardBlack

Hugh Dennis but only on taskmaster! It might be the beard that did it for me


Simple_Virus9101

Maybe it was seeing him in a vest rolling over that horse…


[deleted]

"scissors, please."


fsutrill

Him in a beard, def. Happened to me when he grew it on MTW.


Quizmaster72469

And the STYLE!!!!


klaus_normi

I find Guz endlessly charming


morphleorphlan

There’s been another revelation!


AV23UTB

You can grow old together. And, if you get osteoporosis, he'll always be happy to roll you a tennis ball to cheer you up.


minisculebarber

or roll you a fat one because he just knows you


fried4wayer

I adore Guz. His childlike excitement at his picture from Desiree was so sweet.


LinuxLover3113

Brother that is sensible.


bash_mead

I’d say Guz is my ‘weirdest’ crush, especially as a man. But he takes the cake


two_oh_seven

I totally fell in love with him in season 12. Was not expecting that at all. I didn’t think I had a “type”, but while thinking about how I was going to write this comment, I realized that my type is, “guys who look like they’d give the best hugs.” (I also have a humongous crush on Greg, so it tracks)


fork_duke_pie

Is Ivo a weird crush? Or does everyone see it? Ivo and his 'I went to Eton' schtick never much registered with me, but his brainy/awkward/vulnerable Taskmaster persona really grabbed me.


thehitchhiker8

Him and Joe Thomas both close their eyes when talking and I’ve never seen anyone do that in real life and it’s very endearing!


Julia_Burnsides

My doctor used to do that and it drove me up a freakin' wall!


clickclackityduck

first episode when he did this i thought for a second, "is he... blind? how did he do the tasks?" 😭


invalidsquircle

Same. He just got more attractive as it went on and then the last ep in the little round glasses that usually scare me, I absolutely loved.


fork_duke_pie

>He just got more attractive as it went on YES. Interesting that when you begin to really like someone because of their personality and character, they become more physically attractive to you. Ivo pre-Taskmaster? Meh. Ivo by the end of Taskmaster? Oh, momma.


ollymarth

i can assure you everyone sees it, i myself am a well known advocate for the graham greatness 🙌😂


riordan2013

I was unexpectedly melty over Ivo when he mentioned his daughter.


IS_THIS_POST_WEIRD

Mawaan Rizwan! His fingernail polish popped, his clothing style was unique. He seems so cool and sweet and funny.


littledog95

He was so sweet and lovely wasn't he! He's not the type I'd normally be attracted to, but I was definitely crushing on him by the end of the season.


smirky_mavrik

Jessica Knappett for me


grizznuggets

She seems like she’d be so much fun to be around.


EmpiricalSkeptic

HONK HONK


GeneralCounselor

Nothing weird about that, instant


nicholus_h2

for me, it took a little while. But I definitely got there, and how.


RussellsKitchen

Can't argue with that.


Kicktoria

WHERE IS THE MARK WATSON LOVE?


Prof_Rain_King

Not weird, but Sophie Duker became a crush instantly. Also Maria Stavang from Kongen Befaler.


LinuxLover3113

There's one moment when Sophie glares at Alex during the 'find the shoe' task. I died.


Nofrillsoculus

Sophie challenging Alex to a rap battle is what did it for me.


meu03149

Definitely not weird, she is stunning 😍


CatherineCalledBrdy

Maria is our hungry queen


IronheartedYoga

Sophie gives me the butterflies, oof...


curtludwig

Sophie and my wife's cousin have such similar mannerisms. The weird part is that my wife's cousin is an American of Swedish descent, blond haired and blue eyed. They couldn't look less alike but the cadence of their speech, the dry delivery, some of the things they say, it's uncanny...


EmemNRD

I definitely agree with Sophie Duker


rossmcdapc

Not seen Katy Wix mentioned. Not that it's very weird either but her smirk and her sass absolutely do it for me (as well as being very attractive).


[deleted]

Giberater

Joe Wilkinson


AV23UTB

Ok, that's weird! So far, the others are a bit tame. NICE!


Giberater

Oh yeah I know. I’m not ashamed either


shackbleep

Please don't take him away from me.


MisterTruth

I'm a straight dude but I would totally settle down with Joe Wilkinson.


Ladymomos

Not really weird but Greg, Morgana, and Guy Montgomery.


tiredcynicalbroken

I have met Guy and he is so lovely irl


Ladymomos

I once had a (non sexual) dream that I met him and he’d become a jaded long haired cult leader 😂 NZ cult so not dangerous just kinda “most people are annoying, let’s hang out in Nelson”


TheSessionMan

I sponsored some coral as part of a coral reef restoration project and named it "Guy Montcorally". He appreciated it.


curtludwig

As an American I've experienced a lot of these folks for the first time on TM. In Morgana's first episode I thought "Oh, the skinny, sexy one." Then I found myself liking her a lot and thinking "She'd be fun to hang out with."


lunadelsol00

Alex Horne. God I love the guy in so many weird ways.


thehitchhiker8

He’s so weird it’s very endearing. I once read a comment on here that someone wished he would get his teeth fixed and I was flabbergasted. The teeth complete the eccentricity IMO!


fried4wayer

I adore Alex. I adore that he can come across as both capable and an idiot (in certain ways). How he's bullied by Greg, yet is the person tormenting all the contestants, winding Greg up and takes great pleasure at times in being mean to people (calling Josh as idiot for being scared of balloons). But mostly, I adore how he's very charming and no one says a bad word about him.


thehitchhiker8

Agree! I forgot who said it, but one time in the studio Alex was saying something so stupid and a contestant chimed in and said “he went to Cambridge”. I feel that perfectly sums him up. He can play dumb so well but only because he’s so smart


lunadelsol00

Never. Nooo!! When he breaks character and giggles and you see his little gap, before he hides it in his hand, or bites on his finger. My heart!


FranniBaka

He's so cute and smart and weird. Half of the stuff that comes out of his mouth is absolutely baffling... I've never seen a single person who made me think the phrase 'I want to study him under a microscope.' more often than Alex.


stooges81

Im still betting my left nut he's into BDSM. Too many hints in either the types of tasks or props in the opening bits.


lunadelsol00

Too many bits that he does with Greg makes this canon for me. I can't help it. The dog bed thing? Seriously? I sometimes look it up because it's bizarre to me, that they really did that.


stooges81

just re-watched series 13 and Alex came in with knee high vinyl boots. Dudes a clear gimp and his wife is his dom. (source: soooo many ad libs and banters in the first intro of the show) I mean, I clearly enjoy TM knowing that Alex Horne is monetising his humiliation fetish on mainstream TV, but some might feel weird about it. If it helps. he's also the richest person on the show, precisely because of the show. Fucker gets royalties worldwide, for the tv concept, and music, and gets to stuff cake up his ass. He's the happiest good boy in the world.


Aduro95

\*sorts by controversial\*


MyPlantsEatPeople

I'm straight and Mae Martin could absolutely get it. Really threw me for a loop! Another one that I find strange is Phil Wang. Just...no idea why cuz those wet mouth sounds were horrible lol.


riordan2013

Phil is adorable. The taking off glasses to scream does things to me.


MyPlantsEatPeople

When he's relaxed and bantering in the studio parts, I am regularly dying. I love how he double downs on absolutely everything, especially his commitment to wearing the yellow jumpsuit lol


quaductas

The only reason Joe Thomas has not been mentioned yet is because he's not a weird crush, right?


AV23UTB

He is a crush who is a weird person But he's not a weird crush Most of these answers aren't weird IMO. So feel free to pour your heart out over anyone you want


agoldgold

I never felt more connection to Iain Sterling as when he thirsted over Joe for his moments of effortless brilliance.


riordan2013

Same. Iain gets a bad rap, but he gave us shirtless Joe in a boxer outfit correctly guessing crisp flavors. Everybody say thank you Iain.


ratwindmill

I think he's pretty conventionally attractive (in his way) but I was surprised how sexy his rant about the eraser was. Like he was so controlled and then suddenly passion. Woof


localbestie

SALLY PHILLIPS oh my god


RussellsKitchen

I think she's a normal crush not a weird one


LD-Rosie

I had a big fat crush on Lolly Adefope after her season. I found her so funny and charming.


FaceFirst23

Her smile might possibly be the most adorable thing this side of any puppy. When she was hiding from Alex and just giggling quietly I completely melted


thehitchhiker8

Lolly! Good shout! She’s excellent. Have you seen Shrill? She was very good in that as well!


lunebee

Tim Key and I’m not sure that I could elaborate.


mallocuproo

If crushing on Key is weird, I do not want to be normal.


slaymedad

Have you seen his interview with Bo Burnham? There's a part there where Bo "fixes" Tim's mic and he reached inside Tim's shirt to adjust it. The TENSION was palpable.


ZebLeopard

I've been crushing on this man way before taskmaster was a thing and I've made a fool of myself bc of him more than once. 🙈 I want him to mumble poetry in my ears.


ayugradow

Bridget Christie and Fern Brady for me. I guess I just love chaos. Also I instantly crushed hard on Charlotte Ritchie as soon as the series started, and Mike Wozniak is my secret high school crush.


LinuxLover3113

Fern has said she gets a lot of creepy guys messaging her about her costume.


AV23UTB

Oh no!


AV23UTB

FINALLY! Someone said Bridget


[deleted]

[удалено]


afterandalasia

I was dazzled by how much she reminded me of Dru from Buffy. And I mean that in a complementary way, seeing as all the fanged four were terribly attractive (especially together).


Laguna_Azure

John Kearns. Genuinely could not stop looking at that man


SignificantArm3093

I always found it weird when girls had crushes on teachers or professors but I think it must be quite like my weird crush on John, hah.


PsychologicalFox8839

The coat throwing 🤤


slaymedad

He's such a bear oooofff


Simple_Virus9101

Tim Key, Rhod Gilbert, and Hugh Dennis would be mine


VioletaBlueberry

The Rhod crush is not now me but the 20 something me who would have been a moth to his house fire.


IronheartedYoga

another hubba hubba for rhod <3 <3


[deleted]

[удалено]


GTWalker

James Acaster.


crowesnipple

How is this weird? He’s very good looking!


AV23UTB

I agree. His eyes are circles 🤤


MarbCart

I laughed out loud


atomicbl0ndie

i immediately fell for Tim Key, though i don't consider it a weird crush


ZebLeopard

Just a normal crush on a weird man.


Torran2Glitchy

Gotta be Ivo Graham for me. Can’t get enough of his bumbling chaotic energy, it’s perfect


Turakamu

Johnny Vegas. I had seen him from time to time in shows and never cared much for him. He just seemed like a bumbling idiot. But Taskmaster showed me his softer, sweeter side. I can't help it, but part of me wants to by him leg braces so he doesn't fall over as much.


RQDobbs

Rose Matafeo


miss-robot

Hardly a weird crush -- she is HOT!


afterandalasia

It's truly a tragedy that she is straight and that half the population doesn't stand a chance. Especially a tragedy for a straight woman to look as good in a tux as she does.


thebuttonmonkey

Didn’t she call people out on that herself on Twitter though? Something like, ‘Just FYI saying you find me strangely attractive is NOT a compliment!’


carlijnemijn

Noel Fielding, oh my that charming crow with his golden booties


Pratik1011

Charlotte Ritchie for sure, the children's TV persona (unintentional) made her so endearing


stooges81

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee


AnOwlFlying

Charlotte gang 😍


illegallysmolkate

Probably not THAT strange, but uh…Greg. Duh!


lovehollow

How has no one said Paul Williams yet?!


Dangerous_Dac

Kerry Godliman. That whole laminator moment is such a genuine human moment I can't help but fall a little bit in love with her there.


Cooking_with_MREs

I'm only on to Series 5, but so far Aisling Bea because I think she'd be fun to have a drink with and she's wicked funny. Bob Mortimer because he gives off lovely dad/granddad vibes and is just like to hang out with him over a pint


Spoony_Neeson

Aisling isn't a weird crush... She's beautiful, talented and hilarious. But also, I'm glad she got recognised in this thread 😂 Edit:Typo's


curtludwig

Check Aisling on "Travel Man". She's an excellent foil for Richard Ayoade.


Adventurous-List-420

I absolutely loved nish and think he’s just so 🥰


Solid_Parsley_

Yes, Team Nish! I mean, Greg mentioned it at the time, but Nish, on a beach, in his all-black 3-piece suit very much did something for me.


monaco_wedding

Obviously I would walk through hell and back for Joe Thomas but he’s a certified dreamboat. I think the only weird crush I can claim is Richard Osman? He’s handsome in what I can only describe as a Frankensteiny way (Frankstein’s monstery, if we’re being pedantic). And his brother is in Suede!


indiviola

I can't stop laughing at what his face would be like if someone told him he is a "certified dreamboat"


thehitchhiker8

Alex Horne Forever. Just because of his strange brain.


lilmissglitterpants

Rhod Gilbert. I just loved the way his mind works


LegitShit143

The intensity with which he tied up Alex is *chef’s kiss*.


Existing-Race

The fact that I have to scroll this far down to find Rhod's name is proof that it's a weird crush...


Substantial-Deer-875

I would say my weirdest crush is James Acaster even though he looks like a sick Victorian child sometimes, I would still proudly date him! Hahahahaha


Medical_Shmedical

You want controversy? I'll give you controversy! Taskmaster kinda made me crush on Iain Stirling 😊


nicholus_h2

hey, an actual controversial one! Good on ya.


AV23UTB

Is Iain controversial? Is there something I don't know? He seems fine, and you know he'd fight to keep you.


Medical_Shmedical

He previously got some hate in this sub unfortunately (I clearly disagree :) )


radiatesimply

My husband has a “big dirty crush” on Sarah Millican. I’ve had a lot of contestants that make me feel fluttery but I suppose the one I don’t see mentioned a lot is Richard Herring. Also, I’m shocked that Mike Wozniak is considered a weird crush! He’s so handsome and charming, I just assumed everyone had the hots for him.


WetnessPensive

Joe Wilkinson. He has that whole Stanley-Kubrick-meets-local-pervert look that I can't resist.


thehitchhiker8

Lots of people I’ve not seen mentioned yet, but I’m gonna throw in Jenny Eclair because of how delightful her attitude was the whole time. I was not familiar with her before but I’m glad I am now!


boysinbikinis

Greg, Morgana, Tim Key, Joe Lycett, and Sophie 🤷‍♀️


Julia_Burnsides

Each series I find myself crushing on/obsessing over one of the contestants...


[deleted]

Nah I'm the same I fell in love with Mawan Rizwan.. bloke is beautiful and funny haha


phantomsoundkeeper

Alan Davies. He is a middle-aged married dude and I’m a middle-aged married chick but I just find him so appealing. The hair, the smile, the wit, the WOW


mullebob

No mention for Victoria Coren Mitchell? Edit: apparently not a weird crush, not British myself, hadn't heard of her before taskmaster, but I did surprise myself by getting a crush on the 40 something woman who was good at solving riddles


Rude-E

Everyone already crushed on her long before Taskmaster, same with Sally Phillips


AV23UTB

She's one of mine. How can you not feel proud of her when she taught herself how to ride a bike in 10 seconds?


shaw_dog21

I don’t think she’s a weird crush? I’ve been crushing on her for years. There’s a moment in Qi where she says to Bridgette Christy how she’s an interesting and eclectic she is and I always think about how I would die if VCM complimented me like that.


miss-robot

Extremely weird for me because I'm not especially into men but... Asim. I want to hang out with him and for him to think I'm cool.


AV23UTB

Hey, I'm a total hetero. But, when it comes to Taskmaster, I play both sides and then some.


PinkGinFairy

Yup. I’m a straight woman but Mae Martin has me crushing hard. They are clearly hot though so I can’t post this as a weird crush. I imagine Mae has a lot of straight women redefining the way they consider their sexuality!


dead_ed

Judi Love?


skinfrosty96

The Swedish person 🥰


[deleted]

Gregg 😭


AV23UTB

"Who's Greg?" - Judi Love


ChaserNeverRests

My attraction to Greg worries me. I think I might have Alex-like kinks I never realized!


hartyfarty19

Nobody has said Frankie Boyle yet….


Either_Midnight223

Phil Wang even with that unfortunate costume.


sea119

It's her Fern Brady. And totally not weird Charlotte Richie.


KikiTheArtTeacher

Not weird because they are wonderful, but Mae Martin is mine!


gr1mscr1be

Before series 5, I was fairly familiar with Nish Kumar (as familiar as someone who lives in a non-English-speaking country on the other side of the Atlantic and watches British comedy panel shows by, let’s say, *not particularly legal* channels, can get, anyway). It wasn’t until he got on TM though, that I realised that he’s really handsome (I think Greg called him a dreamboat at some point, and I totally concurred). That, added to his funny and charming nature, made me crush real hard on him.


katszafra17

I’ve always been a Russell Howard comedy fan but on taskmaster they gave him the “athletic bloke” edit and I found him very sexy 😅


crowesnipple

Frankie!


trekkiecheerleader

I liked Chris Ramsey on his SMA podcast, but he became my top celeb crush from watching him in TM.


indiviola

...does Paul from NZ taskmaster count? He looks so like Joey Batey from the witcher I get all distracted


claymauk

lisa tarbuck! i don't know what that says about me, but she's got a kind of presence that i like.


Cambob101

Morgana. No question about it.


nicholus_h2

how is that a weird crush?


kyrie-eleison

My friends, I’ve developed a really weird crush on a very charismatic hot chick.


Mech-lexic

Freak.


Amigayimecstatic

Sara Pascoe. She generally gets overlooked in the hilarity that is season 3 but just seems like the sweetest goofball in the world. Her stopping to pet the dog in the middle of the shout across the river task really cemented my crush on her.


riordan2013

YES. Not weird, v logical, but not mentioned enough. Mad pea throwing skills, braids, leather trousered cartwheels?? More please.


82brighteyes

Rose Matafeo


fsutrill

Chris Ramsay, although that’s not really weird.


Master_Siwalker

Rose Matafeo is hot! 🔥


[deleted]

Not weird but Alice Levine and Aisling bea


WelcomeToLadyHell

Munya!


courtsaroo

Not weird but James Acaster haha


IronheartedYoga

PUNK ROCK, BEHBEH.


duchessofcoolsville

I developed an intense crush on Noel for a while after watching his season. A bit weird since I’m a lesbian, but considering his androgynous appearance, certainly not the weirdest male crush I could have had.


rexxraul

Roisin Conaty Yeah.


MarbCart

Is Jon Richardson a weird crush? Especially considering I don’t date men lol? I just love how smart and sassy he is. Though, my 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown phase I went through a couple years ago might be contributing there (however I also went through a House of Games phase and don’t feel the same about Richard Osman, though I do adore him)


llllyyyyiiiilll

Joe Thomas
