Hello

Love how i can now have DS fame , nice to see a few familiar faces taking part and i look forward to getting to know some new people also

So exciting! Looking forward to working with you, Cal and Natalie

But I'll warn you now, I mean business

Task One requires you to use your creativity, it is set to give us a clue as to your abilities.

Task one is as follows;

You have been given a unit, this unit is the size of a shop (think the size of an average Cafe)

You can do whatever you want with this unit, this unit will become your personal business.

You must organise this and organise a pitch explaining to us what your business is amongst other things that you should decide.

You have until tomorrow at 8:30pm where you will deliver your pitch to us, we will choose the winner, from the losing team one of you will be fired.

Any questions?

Do we just contact one another through PMs?

You have been PM'd your team rooms (war rooms)

Izzie will be watching Team A
Connor will be watching Team B

Do us proud!

Please could you confirm your project managers ASAP

I haven't?!

Aaah, no one has emailed me with the team room, please can you email me with it, Ross and fast!

As someone who's previously participated in DS Apprentice games it's interesting to be on the other side of the game as a viewer. The task sounds interesting as it's wide open and makes me a little jealous not to be involved as a candidate. I just want to say I'm looking forward to seeing what both teams come up and wish you good luck with the series to everyone involved.

I'm looking forward to watching this as well! Hope all is good with you, Katie?

Hey. Long time no see. Yes, all's good with me. How's things with you?

For this task, my ideas for the teams would be to sell mass blocks of French cheese and burn sausages over a baked beans can. I think it'll guarantee success.

I'm good, thank you. You doing DSA this year? I haven't decided yet.

Some very unique ideas - Contestants have go their game on!

Hmmmmm interesting *strokes chin*

Really excited with our team's pitch.

Our Team is going to Vanquish our competition

Natalie's right

Not sure yet I don't think so. I'm heading off to Cambodia at the end of the month and doing lots of charity stuff / building houses etc out there and I'm staying there for the majority of June. Then when I get back I'm working full time and after a few people calling me out on being at work during tasks last year. Add to that I'm also away at least one weekend in July and might be away a week in August too my availability isn't great over the next few months and I don't really want to commit to a series if I'll be away for lots of it and working during the week.

Fair enough. I wouldn't commit either if I wasn't able to. I actually thought that your commitment last year was very good. There were other people who I felt used work as an excuse a bit.

Pitches and boardroom start at 9!
