i agree though the most fun was making poor derek add endlessly to the rules ... and i still think and have evidence that whats his name was PM and it should have been included.... yep still holding a grudge on that one on another note secret Santa (yes i am posting in the wrong area) brian suggested if we went to Belgium bar sometime after Christmas we could swap secret Santa presents there?

Elly Mon 21 Dec 2015 04:56
I didn't like Vana but I agree, her idea had the most potential I think. Hey ho. Quite an exciting year I think - the fantasy apprentice thing was definitely a fun thing to do.

mandy Mon 21 Dec 2015 07:58
i feel oddly cheated, vana (who is a bit shouty) had the better idea,. presentation etc, admittedly god knows how it would make money (especially with only three people in the whole wide world being single) but it just felt like such a cop out as though he was taking the dull easy win, i mean plumbing its not exactly new is it..... and i would like to say that most of the business plans sucked..... karrrrrrrin made the best comment to gary 'a bit like Skype' he he

Elly Sun 20 Dec 2015 10:21
Whoo! Yeah! {air punch} Get in! I'd like to thank the academy, my producer and everyone involved in this project - I couldn't have done it without you. It was an honour and a privilege playing against you. {bursts into tears whilst accepting my prize} Wait.....where's my prize?

Derek Sun 20 Dec 2015 10:13
You did it ....... Elly, our winner !!!!! Congratulations on winning this highly prestigious award :)

Elly Sun 20 Dec 2015 10:11
AAaaaaaaaaah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah

Elly Thu 17 Dec 2015 07:05
So we're effectively beta testers for this. We should at least get a lifetime subscription to the Attica Fantasy Apprentice service including free upgrades and expansion packs, and possible a bit of free merchandise thrown in as a courtesy gesture.

Elly Thu 17 Dec 2015 06:57
...and the weird thing is, I was nearly going to pick Joseph a while ago but I thought "God, he looks such a pillock though with that stupid moustache and quiff, and his intro interview on the website is excruciating". It'll be very funny if I accidentally win.

Derek Wed 16 Dec 2015 10:36
If substitutes are NOT allowed (and don't think they should be for the final) the scores are quite interesting: If Vana wins, Brian wins If Joseph wins, Elly wins And yes, that was a pretty darned good call dropping Richard! He was found out in the end :) And none of us has Joseph in our team - are we a tad snobbish?

Mandy Wed 16 Dec 2015 10:32
Its a thankless task, but it has made it mugh more entertaining than just watching the program... And i may be a tad competitive...

Brian Wed 16 Dec 2015 10:32
I should win outright for dropping richard at the perfect time. O , and how many pints did i get for that- i think u can guess

Derek Wed 16 Dec 2015 10:31
Oh yes, I'm so so so happpyyyyyyy ............ endless joy

Derek Wed 16 Dec 2015 10:30
I agree - the only way to really punish us losers is *not* to allow us a substitute for next week.

Brian Wed 16 Dec 2015 10:30
Bet you're so glad u started 'fun and games' arent u d

Mandy Wed 16 Dec 2015 10:29
Hiding behind sofa isnt going to save you.....

Mandy Wed 16 Dec 2015 10:27
But thats not fair... Stamps feet, my candidate got through i should at least get more points than someone who's candidate didnt...

Derek Wed 16 Dec 2015 10:25
Yep: +1 for an appearance. The penalty would normally be -3 the next week if one picked a substitute. I know - it's not quite right at this stage of the comp!

Brian Wed 16 Dec 2015 10:23
Everyone gets 1 point?

Mandy Wed 16 Dec 2015 10:23
Im confused why do losers and winners get the same points? Is this political correctness gone mad?

Brian Wed 16 Dec 2015 10:13
Go vana

Brian Wed 16 Dec 2015 10:12
Wot a call - get in 😃

Derek Wed 16 Dec 2015 09:59
This is going to be controversial ....... Can those of us with no-one left choose a sub for the final?? Doesn't seem right somehow.

Mandy Wed 16 Dec 2015 09:58
Go richard go...We dont like you

Mandy Wed 16 Dec 2015 09:58
Gary is out... Yesssss, he was dull

Mandy Wed 16 Dec 2015 09:57
Nooo not joseph i like him, sack gary hes dull

Mandy Wed 16 Dec 2015 09:56
One down... Poor derek

Derek Wed 16 Dec 2015 08:13
So I can now announce the final selections for this week are: Brian: Vana Derek: Charleine Elly: Richard Mandy: Vana Matt: Gary

Brian Wed 16 Dec 2015 08:05
Im dropping richard

Brian Wed 16 Dec 2015 08:05
Im dropping richard

Derek Sat 12 Dec 2015 06:00
I knew I had to do something because Brian is sure to have recorded the telling Sugar sound bite !

Mandy Thu 10 Dec 2015 07:07
We did wonder how you would cope with two team leaders, but i agree with your ruling, unlike the promoted team leader episode...... Which by the way i still think I WAS RIGHT and you were WRONG, not that i hold a grudge or anything..... Charlene, mad but you have to like her, richard is a sneak and i dont like him at all, which means he will win I'm dropping gary, i dont like his haircut

Derek Wed 09 Dec 2015 11:10
Software now copes for multiple team leader losers, so the results page is now correct.

Derek Wed 09 Dec 2015 10:30
We are now down to 5 candidates. Our current teams are: Brian: Richard and Vana Derek: Charleine Elly: Richard Mandy: Vana and Gary Matt: Gary ... so Brian and Mandy have to drop a member before next week. For the time being (before they get sacked), Derek, Elly and Matt are lumbered with our surviving team member.

Derek Wed 09 Dec 2015 10:17
OK OK OK - I *know* that there was *no* winning team leader and *2* losing team leaders: it's just that my database model doesn't take that into account at the moment !!! It will do tomorrow. The scores, however, *are* correct (as is the spreadsheet). Bear with me ..... it's been very trying this series !!

Derek Wed 09 Dec 2015 08:20
OK about half an hour to go and Derek and Elly can choose a substitute if they want to (but incurring a 3 pt penalty). After tonight we'll be down to 5 or less candidates, so the teams will then be limited to ONE ..... everyone needs to bear that in mind.

Derek Wed 02 Dec 2015 10:23
And as Mandy says - he's looking like a good pick at the moment

Derek Wed 02 Dec 2015 10:22
Elly - you *could* pick a substitute if you wanted to. We now have 6 left. But that would be a 3 point penalty. Depends whether you trust Richard to win.

Mandy Wed 02 Dec 2015 10:20
Thoughtful... My middle name You know richard might actually win,

Derek Wed 02 Dec 2015 10:17
And Elly: Elle was the losing team leader !! Not "off the cuff" at all.

Derek Wed 02 Dec 2015 10:16
Thank you Mandy ... so thoughtful :) The scores are now in btw

Mandy Wed 02 Dec 2015 10:15
So important i posted twice.....

Mandy Wed 02 Dec 2015 10:14
Derek we have saved the eposode so we can rewatch it if you need to rejig your rules.... :-)

Mandy Wed 02 Dec 2015 10:14

Mandy Wed 02 Dec 2015 10:13
Yes it was all over the news so i knew he went but i was expecting him to be fired for being rubbish... Didnt know about selina but knew she wasnt going to win as she was in every paper whining about how the producers were mean to her and not even appearing on the 'apprentice youve been fired' she'll be a poor mans katie hopkins

Derek Wed 02 Dec 2015 10:05
Selina was such an irritating cow, I'm really glad she's gone. More comments later - just doing the scores now.

Elly Wed 02 Dec 2015 10:04
Oi! Elle got a -6 for not making it to the boardroom...that was an off the cuff penalty. Scott should get the same.

Derek Wed 02 Dec 2015 10:04
No no no no no - no retrospective penalties !!!!

Elly Wed 02 Dec 2015 10:02
Even I was bored of her whinging by the end of it. A bit of a weird episode because there were so many national newspaper spoilers around today, but I was expecting Scott's exit to be a bit more explosive. Surely that should incur an *extra* penalty, for just going "Ah fuck it" and walking off. At least Selina went down spitting and clawing (though I think we have another Katie Hopkins in the making)

Mandy Wed 02 Dec 2015 10:00
Oh yes she has been very very vocal.... Still found time to pose in her knickers though

Elly Wed 02 Dec 2015 09:59
...and boy isn't Selina pissed off (according to half a dozen cheap sleezy newspapers and twitter)

mandy Fri 27 Nov 2015 09:41
that wall was tiny, even jamie could have climbed it without falling off it and i loved them telling the kids not to run when they were all walking really slowly.... Gary is a duffer but then vanja sucks as well and honest to god how did selina win, she's terrible i want British bake off back i was good at that!

Derek Fri 27 Nov 2015 12:22
{note to self} Make sure the next walk features a 9ft wall to climb, just to keep Mandy in a party mood

Mandy Thu 26 Nov 2015 10:09
Climbing a three foot wall is not a party in my books... Selina was just really really lucky, gary is rubbish, vana whines, i dont like either of my candidates... But i am oddly warming towards brett...

Derek Wed 25 Nov 2015 10:44
I've decided I *want* Charleine to be fired. Far better to be fired than being a losing team leader at this stage, and it's not long before we have to drop down to a single member team anyway. And we must have another multi-firing at some point, don't we, to get down to 4 for the last episode.

Elly Wed 25 Nov 2015 10:30
...That's it Selina, you ignore all those big meanies who call you a miserable arsey cow. We both know that in Fantasy Apprentice you're actually the highest scoring candidate to date....

Derek Wed 25 Nov 2015 10:17
Blimey Selina won !!!!

Derek Wed 25 Nov 2015 09:47
I *think* i'm happy as well ..... but Charleine might be fired yet

Elly Wed 25 Nov 2015 09:43
{does happy dance}

Elly Wed 25 Nov 2015 09:08
{hears who the PMs are this episode} Shiiiiiit, I'm in for a bad week, I can just feel it.

Mandy Fri 20 Nov 2015 10:07
Well finally managed to watch it....scott has changed personality this week, he used to be quite nice, wet but nice, and then he turns all nasty... It was a lucky choice to drop him and i only did it because gary hadnt been teanpm leader i did it And doesnt vanya hate selina.....

Matt Thu 19 Nov 2015 12:52
I keep forgetting Selina has TL'd already. I never saw that episode. Yeah, losing a duffer at the right moment could give someone the win. I almost wanted Brett to go, but then I don't "know" who's going to win yet, so it would have been too early.

Derek Wed 18 Nov 2015 11:58
Selina is definitely on a knife edge, but if you look at her track record, she's done pretty well. The fact that everyone seems to hate her is neither here nor there 'cos they all hate each other !! Mandy certainly made the right choice .... hurumph ps it appears you can get free https these days eg http://www.startssl.com/?app=1, so I'll investigate that.

Elly Wed 18 Nov 2015 10:49
The camera loves pointing at Selina for some reason. She can't help being an arsey cow, but I still don't see that she's any better or worse than the rest. ...that said, I am contemplating her replacement just in case. But knowing my luck, I'll drop another one just as we hit the threshold for losing another team member.

Matt Wed 18 Nov 2015 10:40
Well Mandy certainly dropped the right bloke. 12 point difference! Sam going was no surprise. Nice bit of tension waiting to see if there'd be a second. Next week has got to see Selina picking up or losing points.

Derek Wed 18 Nov 2015 10:32
What a week for Mandy and Matt ! Matt - you've maintained your record of positive scores every week. Mandy - great week for you and you're now well in contention. Dreadful week for me :(

Matt Wed 18 Nov 2015 08:11
So who does everyone think will be the three team leaders this week? Gary and Selina are due up, Who else?

Derek Tue 17 Nov 2015 10:22
