I'd like to start by how disappointed I am by the name, and the concept. George, you said you were good at creativity but you haven't proven that in this task at all? Did you come up with anything other than "Discuss"? |

They are well known and well respected presenters and I believe they could have worked well together. By the way Lord Stuart, did me posting in the other thread count against us because I genuinely didn't know the rule?

Karren and I also raised the way you divided the time. 30 minutes of looking through Twitter? Most of the target audience probably don't even had Twitter and won't give a codswallop about it.

Next on to the presenters. Ellie and Evan are such a strange choice - do you see any chemistry between them? |

I don't see why they are a strange choice. They are both respected, intelligent individuals, they are known for presenting shows about current affairs, and they have a friendly and pleasant manner about them. They're not known for presenting together - but then, no presenting duo are until they do their first show. I don't understand what is wrong with having Ellie and Evan.
They aren't household names. The other team had Davina McCall and Jack Whitehall, which we thought wouldn't work, but also had Ben Shephard and Denise Van Outen which Karren and I agreed would be a fantastic pairing, despite never presenting a show like this together.

I believe the presenters would have worked well together as they are professional and good at what they do.

Right, this is really dragging out a bit. Can each of you please give me the name of who you think should be fired and Karren and I will make a decision.

That probably would have been a better idea.

Emma, since you disagreed with the things that went wrong, i.e. the concept and the presenters, you're on the next task.

George, I was expecting great things from you for this task. You've let me down a little, you still need to prove yourself.

Eliza, you never seemed to make a decision or contribute an idea by yourself for this task, you need to be more bold on the next task. You were a bit like a nodding dog.

I'd just like to point out that the reason I disagreed is because many of the people watching will be older, and I didn't think that we should go down the route of having all young presenters.
I don't think I should be fired as despite this task, I am creative. I know I may have got some things wrong on this one, but on the last task, our PM took on board many of our ideas - I suggested the meat pie, for example - and we won that task. I think I was a key player in that. I think under the circumstances, I did a good job standing in for Jordan. Everyone has said I was great, I never had an argument with anyone, we all worked together fantastically and we came up with something that I believed in. I concede that it had some flaws, but I'm not perfect. But I am by no means the weakest member of the team. |

Jordan, you were the PM and you didn't turn up. This was very disappointing, because you knew you had to prove yourself to me after failing to turn up last week.
