Right then Strike.

Quite frankly, as you say, your team was a shambles.

Jazz, you did your best, and you are safe.

Clown, if I had the same attitude to my day job that you have to this, I would get the sack from that too!

Pammi, you also did your best despite being late. I reject your attempt at resigning, you are safe.

That's no problem, but I think credit where credit was due I did manage to think on my feet quite well at the end there, despite a rather trying day at my real job!

However, I am clearly unreliable even if there at the end, so I am unreliable and I will regretfully leave on that basis.

Good luck Jazz xx

Kevnaldo, you left because things were going wrong, which isnt good. But, you turned up and you tried.

You are safe.

Ahhh I'm really sorry guyss!! I know I'm a bit unreliable, but I'll try really hard to be there more next week! Just depends really.

Sir 17, I am trying my very best but the fact that 2/5 of us turned up to the boardroom is a disgrace in itself. The boys have clearly abandoned ship!
And for the record, I'm a girl, not a boy

And thank you Sir 17

Okay, if you both put it like that

I just feel real bad for being late

We could have done this!

And then my IE goes and plays up? Or did anyone else get kicked out of DS just now?

Sorry about leaving you all Team 2.

It wasn't a bad connection that was the biggest problem, it was my parents chucking me off Although DS has been bad for me recently too!

10 candidates entered for the board room for the very first time. Sir 17@17 told them what to expect straight away.

Right. I've been told you lot are the best. Let me tell you, you are going to need to be to be my apprentice. Let me give you a warning now, i don't want b*** s******. I don't want attention seekers. I don't want a*** lickers. I want the best. And i expect nothing less.

This isn't a walk in the park. This isn't a simple game like Digital bloomin' Brother or Ds Factor. You need creativity, you need endurance. You need to be able to work in a team.

They were quickly put into teams.


Team 1

ice cream
cloneclown
Ok then!!
mr predictor
nickynoodle

Team 2

Jazz_Misuc
pammi_i
Kevnaldo
Lilhunni_Jo
kyle123
They formed team names, Team 1 adopting Mosaic and Team 2 adopting Strike.

Their first task was simple.


Right, this week will be pretty simple. All i want you to do is display your creativity, originality and team work. I'm currently in talk with a leading cereal company to make a new breakfast meal for children. All i want you to do is create one. By 7:30 i want you to have prepared a plan for what type of cereal you have, what the box looks like and a short speech on why your cereal is better than all the others on the market.

Mosaic got straight into the task, coming up with a presentation that was just grrrrrrreat.

Sir 17@17 this is a description of our product.

Mosaic Cereals Ltd is proud to present its new brand of healthy cereals for children. Jurassic Treats ensures that children will want to have breakfast each day and will enjoy munching their way through the terridactal age! Packed with crunchy oats and berries, Jurassic Treats are simply delicious and affordable for any family. Priced at £2.50 for a 600G box, there is no other cereal that offers such good value and nutrition. In each packet there is a free toy inside and information about dinosaurs which will keep children amused for hours. Be sure to pick up a box of Jurassic Treats today!
But Strike fell apart and were reduced to crumbs.

Grrrr, I'm really, really sorry but I can't write that speech thing....getting chucked off the computer (See, unreliable ) So, laters
I suppose I'm too late? I got kept late at work!

I'm sorry
I am trying my very best but the fact that 2/5 of us turned up to the boardroom is a disgrace in itself. The boys have clearly abandoned ship!

And when it came to the crunch, they had to milk it.


Anyone? or shall I just make something up?
Sir 17@17 handed victory to Mosaic.

When Strike were called back to the boardroom, Sir 17@17 straight away let them know what he thought.

Right then Strike.

Quite frankly, as you say, your team was a shambles.

But he let Jazz off the hook.


Jazz, you did your best, and you are safe.

Through frustration, Pammi_i attempted to resign.


Fine, i resign then

But Sir 17@17 was having none of it.


Pammi, you also did your best despite being late. I reject your attempt at resigning, you are safe.
Which left Sir 17@17 with a choice.

Do i fire the team leader, who quits when things go wrong. Kevnaldo
Do i fire the candidate whose computer has no reliability. Lilhunni_Jo
Or do i fire the candidate who just did not show? Kyle123

In the end....

Kyle123, for whatever reason, you haven't showed. To be honest, i dont care why.

You are fired.

So, can Strike prove to Sir 17@17 that they can work as a team?

Or will Sir 17@17 just change the teams?

And what will the challenge be?

Well, here is a clue: Il cibo è buono, promessa

9 Candidates....1 Apprentice

Wednesday....6 'o'clock
