The interesting thing about seeing people discover Ed Gamble through Taskmaster is that some look at his desperation dedication to win, judge him by his general appearance and interactions with Greg and the rest of the cast, and pass him off as some stereotypical, overbearing "jock" character, when in reality he's a type 1 diabetic, asthmatic, ex-goth kid who used to collect salt and pepper pots and geodes, who dislikes sports partly due to bad school experiences, who loves food, heavy metal, comic books, board games, his wife, and his cat that he's allergic to, and who's talked openly about his mental and physical struggles with losing weight and managing his type 1.

I dunno, I just find it funny when I see people describe him as "a high school bully" or a "hostile competitor" when he's clearly just an over-excitable, super massive TM nerd whose dream was to be on the show and make love to some hummus.

#ed gamble #taskmaster #pig the cat #I've just finished listening to his audiobook and didn't think it was possible to love him even more but there you go #also I will never get over Greg saying he feels paternal towards Ed like thats so fckin cute #tbh i don't get any of the hate certain tm contestants get #lou sanders and dmc particularly #daisy running up to the window and demanding “where can i build my marble run” like a 5 yr old was peak tv
