View Full Version : The Apprentice 2015 Suicide Pool Game [GAME OVER: Calderyon wins]
Headie
14-10-2015, 04:19 PM
Since there doesn't seem to be a prediction game, I figured we might as well do this instead. I don't mind running it and promise I won't give up on it this time like I did with the BBUS one. Here are the rules.
Not familiar with suicide pools? It would mean the following: you select a contestant, any contestant, who you feel will survive the next elimination. if that contestant's eliminated, you're out. If not, you move on. once you've used that contestant, however, you may never use them again. so even if you're right every week, if you get to the end and have run out of contestants to use YOU'RE OUT.
Basically you want to choose somebody who's reasonably safe for the near future, but not a real risk to make the end/win. Sound simple enough?
If you're still confused, have a quick glance @ the one I ran for BBUS this summer and it might make a bit more sense.

Anyone else want to play? Still plenty of time left to predict, and you only have to predict one person once a week (twice this week since there are two episodes).

I'm delayed as of work and watching now (trust me I ****ing hate spoilers) so if I can be included I like would like to use Joseph.
But only if that's okay with everyone for me to add in now?

Ok that's fine ^_^.

I will make an exception this one time, although I will have to use a random list generator to decide who's name I will cross off you for Week 1.
Please make your predictions before 9pm tonight!

For any latecomers, I will allow this once seeing as no one was eliminated last round. I used random.org to decide which person will be voided for Week 1, and it came up as Sam. So anyone who still wants to play but didn't make a pick last round, you will not be allowed to choose Sam. Please make your predictions before 9pm tonight if you are still interested in playing! :)

I would've accepted that Kate this once, however you already chose Elle last week, so unfortunately I can't allow it :(
The list of who everyone has chose each week is in the OP so anyone who is unsure of their previous picks should refer to that if possible.

How many more episodes is there? I'm a bit stuck now because I only have Scott and Vana left so I'll be knocked out if there's more than 2 episodes left.
I'll pick Scott anyway though because I think Vana stands a better chance of winning.
BigSister
26-11-2015, 05:41 PM

Have to go for Brett for on week 10.
Headie
02-12-2015, 10:31 PM
Jamie has been eliminated since Scott quit. Myself and BigSister have been eliminated since we only have one option left. So the only contender left in is Calderyon, however it is impossible for him to win since he only has 2 options left and there are 3 episodes left.
So looks like we don't have a winner this time, although the person who did the best was Calderyon, who if Brett survives in Week 10, will have stayed in the suicide pool until Week 11. So well done to Calderyon!
Maybe next year we will finally get someone who can make it all the way! :laugh:
Jamie89
02-12-2015, 10:36 PM
Well done Calderyon :clap1:
Calderyon
03-12-2015, 03:12 AM
Wow. Thank you. :)
