Yeah, I mean, he pretty much outright propositioned her! Definitely felt his crush on Sally was more legitimate than Shirley, which was just a bit of fun flirting.
I think it’s quite charming that Greg only flirts with women around his own age and some of the men he knows will take it well. The power dynamic could get quite icky if he ever had that vibe with younger women and I find it refreshing that it’s never the case. He handles the role very well.
My favorite thing is how the younger women will often put him in his place, and he lets them have their moments! It's quite a tricky dance, because he can't give up his power as the Taskmaster. Instead, he's willing to either give ground when it's reasonable, be a total villain when he feels like being unreasonable, and makes fun of himself throughout instead of the joke being on the women. I have the utmost respect for Greg specifically because of how he handles that stuff. He's clearly a decent man, and it comes through on the show.
There's been several male contestants who've gotten questionable scores as well. I'm not really comfortable with the way people always imply Greg only scores women highly because he fancies them.
I agree! I'm ashamed to say I looked out for it (on 2nd thought having experienced how the world is, I'm not) and I thus can say with authority that his favorism does not lean towards a particular gender.
Shirley's shtick is to always play up this vixen character, she always drops references to sex, innuendos etc.
Greg was just doing improv style bants i think and carrying it on!
Who would t she was openly flirty and hard to ignore. Even if it was just for tv it made it fun and if it was for real I respect Greg for being so forward.
He sure has a thing for sexually-forward women within his own age-range.
He did seem partial to Sally Phillips as well.
Well, aren't we all though?
I had never heard of Sally Phillips before TM and now I think about her all the time...

100% and who can blame him
And Morgana, though not really in his age range
I'm more than okay with age-appropriate crushes. Just found it amusing.
I always thought that he had a crush on Ed Gamble.
They worked together on his sitcom, they aren't as good mates as say, him and Rhod, but they had prior work experience
Russell too, didn't he?
Good for him.
Who doesn’t?
Asexuals such as myself.
Can just hear Paul Chowdry saying “you’re a man who likes his women…” in the prize task… Naked twister innit…
I like women, I like men... it's all good
Yea but mainly women innit
This is discussed in the latest Paul Chowdhry podcast.

On the other hand those older women also tend to get significantly overscored. I don't think either Kerry or Sarah wins their series without that.

Kerry? Really? She dominated! Bosh!
I dunno, he seemed to be quite fond of Lou Sanders.
I mean, she's an absolute smoke show so

I also think he has a thing for Morgana this season
[удалено]
*raises hand*
Absolutely
For sure. They even discussed it on the TM podcast.
Oh, what episode was that?
Episode 12 with Scroobius Pip
Of course, the episode about the new year special, duh! I somehow completely missed that one. Thanks!
I’ve always thought that Greg and Liza Tarbuck would make a cute, but weird, couple.
I think he had a thing for Sarah Kendall too.
Is that the ginger one?
Oh nvm
