I will happily mention who I feel who caused us to be a failiure, I believe that was Pothuthic.
Hmm...now from what I have heard, Poth was trying to do a lot of things but not always being helpful; I've heard from people someone was even telling people to "F off" at one point, anyone can confirm who that was?

Do the rest of you think you know who Black Dagger means?
Yes Lord Sugar sir, it is quite obvious for us due to his disrupting, appalling behavior.

Pothuthic, he got into an arguement with robbie over something completely irrelevant to the task and refused to participate in team discussions afterwards.

That was indeed Pothuthic, Lord Sugar sir.

Yes this was an issue, but from my observations it was one of several.

Lord Sugar, I have worked with naughty schoolchildren AND I'm currently dealing with drunks, and I still haven't seen anything quite like the in-fighting of this team.
I think that just sums up how the first task went!

I can Lord Sugar at one point Pothuthic told Robbie to F off due to something that was totally irrelevant to the task in hand.

Wow.. Poth, not looking too good right now; I know Poth had problems with all of you, but he did seem to offer logo designs etc for the task.

From the rest of you, what did you yourself contribute; all fine someone is causing disruption, but this isn't about just showing why someone is the worst but also why you're the best to stay here..

Agreed the whole thing was very clear to see.....

A question for Black Dagger and Robbie it seemed to me that you two were not able to answer the questions posed in the thread yesterday ? Did you fully understand the concept it seemed a mess to me ?!


And what was with the not answering questions and waiting for ages, I am still waiting now for answers as ya can imagine I gave up !

I believe that I contributed to everything at one point, apart from maybe the pitch. I designed a lot of logos, but none of them passed. (I could show you them if you want, Lord Sugar, sir.)

Robbie also offered to create the logo and at one point Poth even said 'I'm not good at making logo's so I'd rather not do it' or words to that extent

I believe I have more passion then a couple of the members of my team, I have enthusiasm to work, for example I put my name forward as 'PM' straight away and from what the other members of the team said I've definitely done a good job. I did offer to do the 'mock show' and I made sure we had control in the group to the best of my abilities.

I just totally gave upon the comments due to Poth making us look un-organized, and un-decided to be honest. It also seemed that we would all post different answers, or near different answers, so I didn't want to cause more of a mess, Lord Sugar, sir.

I thought of the idea, strictly came up with the name for the game. I also worked on the pitch, but strictly did help me with that briefly yesterday.

I do believe I understood the concept of what the game was about, I wouldn't say it was a mess at all, I knew what the game was about and I did actually answer a couple of questions in the thread yesterday so I knew I grasped the concept very well.

They don't appear to be online for now, I am going to have hope they show up soon.

Peter one question, I know you've been following them and alot of fingers are pointing at Poth, do you think it's all fair and do you think the others did enough too? Because from what I saw not everyone did a lot...

So you decided that, Poth is ruining this, therefore I should leave it and let him mess up the task?

It seems to me, trying to at least salvage the task to viewers could have helped here, it sounds like you just let Poth do what he want but not doing a lot.

I'll tell you now, ALOT of people thought you responses were not helpful at all; and that's all very well saying Poth is responsible for that, but there's 4 other of you guys here all who could have done more as well.

Tyjet I will admit it seems you did a lot, but it seems you almost took over the task from Black Dagger, almost had control more than him, do you think that's a fair comment?

Your answers didnt really answer any of my questions to be honest, and the thread was a mess which is why the viewers voted for the opposition......

We were all telling him to stop on MSN, and guiding him, but he just kept doing the opposite of what we said, Lord Sugar, sir.

But, as you said, you gave up trying. At the end of the day, this is a task to win, I'm not excusing Poth in the slightest for this, but you still could have simply responded to the questions more too and try and help people see easier if you feel Poth isn't doing the correct job.

I felt I answered the questions to the best of my ability and I thought they were relevant answers to be perfectly fair.

Well I do think Poth tried hard (he apparently did 15 logos) but I question how relevant all that is. I do think he caused A LOT of disruption and I think he struggles in these team situations.

However I think there were many other issues. I have had reports of Tyjet being rude and abrupt, BD and Louise being missing (one person said she didn't turn up once, and as she didn't reply to me I only have Tyjet's word she helped him), and I don't really see what Robbie, Louise or BD did towards the thread specifically.

But, there has been that much tit for tat that I don't know what is true and what isn't.
