Welcome to the DS Apprentice Boardroom.

Here is where the candidates are going to fight it amongst themselves before I decide who to fire amongst the losing team.

Candidates, get ready because the first boardroom is now about to begin.

Hello Team Hermes and Team Footprint.

Well, this task was mainly to see the creative side of all teams, as well how you can sell and intereact with forum members, because, at the end of the day, it's what they feel was the more attractive that won one team the task.

First off, Team Footprint, how did you feel the task went?
Got team leader with Batman.?

I think the task went incredibly well, and everybody pulled together fantastically; whatever happens, I think we can be really proud of what we produced. & batman. was a fantastic, decisive leader - he delegated really well & made sure that everybody was involved.

The task went great.

We had literally spent the entire time together, apart from when we were sleeping, discussing, working hard & all of that.

We were really prepared and worked well together & it HAS been a pleasure being part of the team!

Oh, and yes. Seth/Batman was a fantastic team leader!

Well that's definitely positive feedback; so if you lose I am guessing this team will be hard to pull out a weak link from?

Nobody has been the weak link - at all. We've all done really well, so yeah. It will be practically impossible to pull out a weak link.

Well let's see what happens

Hermes, how about for you then? A Good task for you? Think you did well?

How did Black Dagger do as a PM?

I am here, and although I'm just about to eat at my folks' in a minute (Father's day ) I should be on hand soon to give comments. I have given detailed feedback to 'Lord Sugar'.

Definitely - we've all contributed brilliantly, and IMO none of us deserve to be fired at all.

Black Dagger was a good PM, yes. Things could have went better for us on the task, though. There were a lot of issues with people being present to actually contribute anything to the task.

Yep, I think the task went really, really well. We all contributed in some way, and we're really happy with our game.

I think Black Dagger was a good PM. There were parts where he didn't seem very "In Control", and when if someone didn't know, they would've thought of Tyjet as the PM, but other than, that, he was great!

Feel as if some were slacking a bit in the task then?

Think that more a problem for Tyjet taking over or Black Dagger not having enough control?

I thought it was an overall good task, we felt the idea we structured was extremely powerful and it could engage the viewers. I do feel we did well.

I felt I was a decent PM Lord Sugar, I was commited to my role and I made sure everybody had a fair share of work to do throughout the 24 hours.

Definitely. There were some people who were actually available, but still did nothing, particularly on the first night.

Well, I guess it comes down to Luke for this, as Tyjet done what he had to do with Luke not taking control.

I wouldn't say that is a fair comment, I made sure I was in control as much as possible, for example when Poth was messing about and giving us silly team name ideas I made sure he snapped out of it and began to do some work, I can admit that I wasn't as active as I'd like to have been and so Tyjet was the back up 'PM' when I was away if you will but I was in control as much as possible.

Ah, sorry I'm late - got held up in traffic! But I definitely agree, I think all the team pulled together and worked really hard.

IMO I think you should mention these 'slackers' as otherwise it's unfair and pointless.

I didn't really see many posts which made you come across as in control. I feel that Tyjet had to carry your weight a little bit, as like you said, you were inactive at more than a few points, and it was Tyjet who came up with a lot more than the PM.

Ok, now I see where these are going, let's get to the results.

Team FootPrint

Some positive's for your idea was that the idea was well thoughts out and everyone contributed in the presentation and pitch, also many liked it's originality. Some negatives were the pitch was actually too long and needed to be more concise, also had a question over whether it would take more devoted players rather than be open to anyone.


In total, Team Footprint received 14 votes in total from forum members...
