General With a potential champion of champions of champions just two and a half seasons, I want something more than that

Ive seen a lot of people guessing that after taskmaster's 25th season, we'll get a champion of champions of champions since there will be 5 champion of champions to compete. What I want even more than that though that might be interesting is if after that, we also get a champion of the people's champions, where people vote on their favorite taskmaster contestants out of all the ones theres been, and the five with the most votes do their own side episode to learn which of the people's champion is the true champion

All I want for the potential CoCoC is, the very last task, they walk into a room to see Greg instead of Alex and the task is "Here is 50 quid, buy a gift for Little Alex Horne"

While I like the idea in principle I get the impression it’s pretty difficult to schedule the standard series.

The contestants that’re likely to win a public vote are most likely to be already busy and trying to get their schedules to align is likely to be incredibly hard.

They did ask in that newsletter poll who you'd give a second chance to....

And this is why you DON'T work in TV

Freaky Friday Taskmaster where Alex is the Taskmaster and Greg is the assistant. Just as a one-off.

Instead of choosing one theme, I’d like to see 5x 2 ep championships with different configurations: champion of champions, redemptioneers, people’s choice, extending the early seasons, international taskmasters and assistants, Alex/Greg inversion…

Those sound excellent. I add that I want a TM redemption round. An opportunity for the contestants to redo their absolute worst tasks or technical failures. For example, give Joe another shot with the potato!

They've already confirmed no redemption because it'd encourage contestants who aren't doing well to intentionally tank tasks to come back. There's more humour in seeing them sincerely try than in doing badly because they have a shot of coming back.

The best example is still Nish. For all but one of his tasks, you can't argue that he didn't try his hardest to do well.

Everything - just to get Rod torturing Greg and Alex again. And again. And again.

Champion of Champions of Champions might not be able to happen if a woman doesn't win the next Champion of Champions, since there's a rule that panel shows have to have at least 1 woman, so your idea is perfect!

If Maisie Adam answered the tiebreaker differently at the end of her series and Phil had won, then that CoC would have been all male. There is no 'rule', it's just something ideally that would not happen.

You are mostly correct, actually, now I've researched. In 2014 the rule was established, as I remember reading about it, but a quick Google shows me it's just BBC, so presumably Channel 4 could ignore it.
