I hope I get another chance, I will really try and make my voice heard more, and although I didn't contribute much to the actual thread, I think everyone can agree that I did a lot on MSN.

![]() I don't really think I should be going over someone who now refuses to ever communicate with the team. |

Poth, you have just had a hell of an escape there. If I hear more of this pathetic fighting and drama, you will be sure to regret it. Step up, and stop causing this drama.
Black Dagger, I hope to see more doing from you on the next task, because everyone needs to put their complete effort into this. I will see you both on the next task. |

Sorry, guys. My auntie has been in hospital all weekend but I tried my best to get some ideas around (Murder Mystery being one of them). I suggested a couple of ideas but the team were set on the Bachelor thing (which was understandable as I only got my ideas to them on Saturday morning), which I opposed (to Tyjet) as I didn't see the point of looking for a friend when most people already have plenty anyway. I did help briefly with the pitch but that was mainly Tyjet. I came up with the name. Thanks for giving me another chance and I will be present more in the next task.
As for Peter, I didn't reply to you as you asked for the PM to reply but for your benefit, that's my contribution. |

You are allowed to Pm pete too with any problems you have or if you want to stress what you did in a task...... its dog eat dog... any contestant can pm to get their points accross if they need

Pothuthic, he got into an arguement with robbie over something completely irrelevant to the task and refused to participate in team discussions afterwards.
Quote:
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.
Quote:
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.. Quote:
Lord Sugar, do we know if Pothuthic and Strictly are present?
Quote:
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. Quote:
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.
Quote:
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.
Quote:
So ya quit, gave up on the task ..............
Quote:
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. Quote:
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.
Quote:
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. ![]() If a Team swap is Necessary then so be it but I am happy either way ![]() Quote:
So did you all gang up on him ? make him defensive or did your Pm take control and have a word politely as should be done in normal business practise No ?
Quote:
I don't think I took over, no. Black Dagger is the person who had the final decision over everything and I never did anything without his say so, I ran the pitch by him several times for his approval. The only thing I took it upon myself to do was ask poth to make an ad as he didn't have anything to do at that point and Black Dagger was unavailable.
Quote:
Thanks Peter, definitely agree with you on a lot of this.
I can see Poth has been a massive disruption and quite frankly I don't care if he had personal problems with you guys etc, stop complaining about the task and get on with it, I'm not here to listen to whining when you know what you have signed up for.. But I have honestly heard a lot that quite frankly,. I have a reason to fire every single one of you on this team right now. To all of you, and I think I know the answer, but who should be fired? Quote:
I actually had a quiet word with Poth myself, he was visibly upset and he wanted to talk to me in private and he said he wanted to 'quit' the show at one point so I told him that wouldn't be a wise thing to do so I feel I helped him more then 'ganging' up on him to be fair with you.
He Did, He really did Cheer me up and Helped me. I Did say that I was thinking of quitting, But now the Main Problem has left... Quote:
Pothuthic. I believe that we need not repeat ourselves as to why. Yes, he made 11 logos, but all he did was slightly change the font. I don't believe we can work with someone who refuses to work with US, someone who disrupts the process, someone who constantly insults us...
Quote:
I get that and appearantly you did a good job, Poth liked that. However failure to controll the rest of your team from adding there two cents No ? if you did try tell us how and what response you got, why was everyone chipping in if you said not to ? Or did you say nothing ?
Quote:
As Poth isn't here I will tell you he informed me that she didn't show up once. We know about Friday so I accept that, and Tyjet told me that she helped him with the pitch on Saturday (I assume in a different msn convo to the others).
But, the pitch was 2 paragraphs long, was that REALLY a 2 person job or is he covering for her? Quote:
Let me put it this way, if by PMing your friends to vote for you and they do it without looking, and you guys had won, what 'business' skill is that showing me? This isn't The DS Best friend, it's DS The Apprentice!

Err also Peter, I don't even have Poth on MSN. We didnt communicate once throughout the whole thing so he wouldn't have had a clue what I was up to.

"The main problem has left?". I think the main problem is STILL to leave.

On a separate note, sorry to hear about your auntie and thanks for letting us know about your contribution (in response to the other post you directed at me).

Oh and just realised what you meant in the bold - no, after the presentation task I asked each individual to answer three questions about the task. However, it said you had reached your private message quota, so i asked the team to forward the message on to you via another means (MSN or Twitter or something) and Tyjet said he would.
