Jeremy Wells Shares His Thoughts on the New Taskmaster NZ Cast

Introduction to the New Taskmaster NZ Season

As the sixth season of Taskmaster NZ gears up for its August premiere, host Jeremy Wells shares insights into the five new contenders vying for the trophy this year.

Understanding Taskmaster NZ Contestants

You can truly gauge a person’s character by watching them in action on Taskmaster NZ.

With Wells as the long-time host over six seasons, the show has showcased a dynamic array of fiercely competitive individuals.

Wells’ Impressions of Contestants

“You reveal a lot about yourself on Taskmaster,” Wells notes. Contestants come in blind to live tasks, not knowing what to expect, making the viewing experience insightful.

Reflecting on the recently filmed ten episodes, Wells shares his thoughts on this year’s dynamic participants.

Pax Assadi

First up, Pax Assadi. “I expected Pax to excel in physical tasks,” says Wells. Assadi’s background as a former basketball representative fueled the expectations.

Assadi’s self-expectations were high, and Wells hints, “You’ll need to tune in to see if he meets them.”

Bree Tomasel

Another competitor with impressive athleticism is Bree Tomasel, renowned for her hosting of Celebrity Treasure Island and her softball background.

Wells humorously shares that Tomasel’s parents were the South Queensland Disco Dancing Champions, lending a fun background to her family.

Jackie van Beek

Next is Jackie van Beek, a familiar figure in both film and television. Wells describes her as “quietly competitive” and methodical in her approach.

Their mentor-mentee dynamic adds an intriguing layer to the competition as they interact.

Jack Ansett

Jack Ansett’s youthful exuberance brings its own charm, but Wells points out his need for guidance, especially in navigating competitive dynamics.

Alice Snedden

Lastly, Wells introduces Alice Snedden, a multi-talented writer and comedian who has a unique perspective stemming from her background in law.

Her cricket heritage also adds depth to her competitive strategies during tasks.

Final Thoughts on Taskmaster NZ

Jeremy Wells reflects on his learning journey, noting the challenges of judging contestants while remaining fair and humorous. “I enjoy watching the unfolding tasks and the unique approaches each contestant takes,” he concludes.

Taskmaster NZ is set to premiere on Monday, August 18, at 7:30 PM on TVNZ 2 and TVNZ+.
