And I always think in these treasure-hunt tasks that you MUST avoid wasting time in the morning, when the traffic is relatively clear. I appreciate that you can't get the task and run out of the door without a word, but EVERY TIME at least one team gets stuck miles away in solid tea-time traffic.
I mean, it seems like the obvious thing to do would be for one person to stay behind with the map and yellow-pages, phone around sourcing stuff and then direct 2 sub-teams to collect the items in the most efficient manner. |

Is it not £260? In previous years, the fine has been guide price plus £50.

I always wonder if they're constrained by the number of phones they have access to.

I also broke down all the other costs, because I'm sad like that. Looking at Summit's fines, I'm assuming £100 for being late back to the boardroom, £50 fine for not getting the chicken and therefore £11 guide price for said chicken. Similarly, given Tenacity's £52 fine, I guess the rope had a nominal guide price of £2. |

Yes, you are probably correct (the skeleton from team Summit also had that starting price I believe; the guy initially gave them 10% off which made it 234).

Yes I think lord sugar has possibly picked his top three or maybe even the winner and they are all on last nights "winning team" and he didn't want to run the risk of having to fire someone he didn't want to.
So that's why he unfairly Imo fined the loosing team so much to make them loose. Anyway, he picks the teams so can make sure there's someone he doesn't want to keep on each side. No need to fix the result. The fines were fair, as others have pointed out. |
