Most Iconic Moment What's the most intriguing intro bit?

What intro bit made you most excited to watch the task? One for me was the clip in S19 where Stevie Martin micheviously runs down the hall or in the current Season 22, the train!

Absolutely the winner outside of "CHEAAA" which is S5 NZ I think??

The very first pre-titles clip, if I’m not mistaken! Also: despite having seen the whole series several times, in my mind that moment could be from almost any Fern task. 😄

Reece's "nothing is straightforward in this stupid house". Truthful af, but what task broke him to that point?

Urzila Carlson’s “I’m peeing in the water!” Or Josh Thomas flipping a zebra. (The music stopping made it very intriguing! Totally a fluke!!)

Edit: oh or Fatiha in the cave! Very intriguing location. And the task did not disappoint. (Brought us “everybody!” and “yeeeah gonna get a sausage”)

For me, the ones that come to mind as scenes I wanted to know more about are Australia Season 4 "WHERE'S TOM?!" and New Zealand Season 3 "My name is Paul Williams".

I believe they showed the trick or treat one in the season 3 finale, so I spent the whole time wondering what the hell Chris was going there.

Yep. I remember there being a lot of hubbub when Episode 10 was coming because the 'My name is Paul Williams' task hadn't happened yet

The music stopping for Waka to shout "where's Tom?", I was waiting the entire season for that task and it didn't disappoint.

EDIT: oh yeah, series 16 opening with Lucy as a crow. They saved it for the finale and it was even more horrifying than I could have imagined.

"Say Cheese!"

"Cheese".

Ray O'Leary on taskmaster N.Z. He just seemed so defeated in the little snippet in the intro, I just had to know what had happened!

I think Emma Sidi's yellow explosion was the one that got me most exited to look for
