The DS Apprentice

Strike, get back to the house.
OK then, Mr P, Nickynoodle, Cloneclown, one of you is about to be fired.
OK then, Mr P, Nickynoodle, Cloneclown, one of you is about to be fired.
This is a tricky one. So, to help me in my decision, you may post why i should not fire you and who i should fire.
You have ten minutes. After that, i fire one of you.
You have ten minutes. After that, i fire one of you.
I should not be fired.
I am passionate, comitted to this game, and am ruthless. I am a team player. I don't think our team was managed terrifically, but at the end of the day it comes down to effort and Ook Then and I put a lot of effort in.
nickynoodle, did not do much at all.
On every single task i have been online, and will continue to be online for thenext ones (if im not fired), i want to be PM for once so i can prove my capability. I know in myself i can win this and dont think I have been given a fair chance. I found the most products in this task for the cheapest price. I also designed the box in task 1 when no one had a clue what was happening!
O and
KEEP ME

O and
KEEP ME
I don’t think that I should be fired because I found one member of my team, Mr. Predictor to be totally unhelpful by not helping me via PM or responding when I sent to him a PM message asking for my teams coopertation, he didn’t help, didn’t refer to me to chatter thread and when I started a thread up on the apprentice thread, 39 or more viewed it, probably one of my team did as well yet not one of them thought to correct me or point me in the right direction another random yet helpful person did. By this point it was too late, this prevented me from not being able to work with my team on the task and when I set Mr. P a job to do he didn’t do it. I divided the tasks up equally to all my different team mates and sent Mr. P what he had to do. He may have done it but not by himself as I instructed him to, and I found him to not listen to me. Surely, one of them must have knew I would need helping getting to the chatter thread, as its not in an obvious thing and if they cant think of easy things like this- how can they do business? I couldn’t lead the team as nobody thought to point me in the right direction and I didn’t get to show my true potential when in a team yet, one more week and I promise I will.
I did find some reasonable cheap items at low cost myself, which shows I can do things and am reasonably good at business. Similar asda smart prices which I instantly thought of, like the winning team did and I also overlapped many items as a way to get you several of the items in one such as a blue and red cereal packet which would have saved money and shown fast forward business thinking. My team on their own merits spent 40 something pence on the rich teas, which I had found for half that at asda, if only they had led me to that forum, I could have helped. I found it to be quite bullying and nasty to me actually that they didn't help.
To sum up- On my own, I found some fantastic bargains, cheaper than the other team and know where to look, how to plan and what to do. I can lead a team, I am a good team player and people who leave people out or don't help them shouldn't be part of a team. It was a clever yet nasty way of Mr. P and others to try and secure my exit. None of them bothered to find me, to try and win on their own merits. Also clown didn't help much and left at one point, If I had been there I wouldn't have left at all. I know I might seem like the obvious one to fire, but that was because I didn't get to help choose the products, because my team over ruled me. If I had help to choose the products we wouldnt be in the mess, we may have won. Also, if I had led the team I would have helped divide the jobs up more fiarly to have 1 person spend a certain amount of time on each 1.
I didn't get a fair chance, the others showed you what they could do and messed it up by not sending you things on time, choosing expensive products and not showing creaitivty like I did by mix-matching and cheaper products.
please save me, even if it just for one more week then I can show you how good I really am. If I am not good next week, then let me be fired. But let me at least show my true potential next week, I could be the next apprentice. But I haven't done one good go yet and I need to, to show what I can do.
Mr. P should be fired for bullying, leave people out, not getting cheap enough items and for ignoring my pm'S when i asked for help and ignoring the tasks I sent him 2 do via PM./
Nickynoodle and CLOWN didnt do much either and left at times, so possibly could be sacked.
I still haven't shown my true potential, keep me for 1 more go and if i dont' fire me then. This may seem like a long speech- it shows how hard working and passionate I am. I will do anything for one more go to show you what I can do.

Right then, i am left with a tricky decision. Do i fire the two that put effort in but screwed up, or that two that did nothing at all?
It is hard. Cloneclown, although i did not see much from you today, i have seen enough to know you have more in you. You are safe.

Ok then, to a certain extent this shambles was your fault. But i do not think your team gave you much support and i would like to give you another chance. You are safe.

Thank you so much, the mistakes won't happen again and I will prove myself.
Mr Predictor, this task was more your fault than Nickynoodle. But i see more potential in you.
Nickynoodle, im afraid you are out of your depth. You are fired.
The rest of you, be back next week.
Thank you.

Thanks Sir 17! I thought you were creating a devious plan to make my firing coincide with my aunt's firing on tonight's show lol!
Well I can't be here for the next three Wednesdays so I suppose it's for the best 
BTW I did watch Rock Rivals. Go Bethany
!
Sir 17@17 had a couple of early suprises for the candidates...
After the initial drama, the task was set.
And after a slow start the teams began searching for items.

Something with wheels
Something made of glass
Something from Argos
Something with red and blue on it
Something you find in a bathroom
Something related to sport
A box of cereal
Rich teas.
Cheapest wins. By 8 o clock i need a list of links to these websites as proof of your cost. Fail to meet the criteria or find and object and you will be penalised. Run along.”

Mosaic were confident...
But were stalled after Sir 17@17 banned ebay.
And whilst Strike were using their heads...
Mosaic were losing theirs...

When it came to posting their lists Strike were bang on time...
But Mosaic were missing a project manager and were delayed...
Ok Then finally turned up, but with some alarming news.
In the board room Sir 17@17 was less than impressed.
And when the results came in, it was no surprise who won.

In the boardroom Sir 17@17 gave the candidates a chance.
And the excuses came flying out, along with a couple of accusations too.
In the end, Sir 17@17 gave out a couple of "second chances".
