Ok noted.

Milking it mlud

Jake and Nicky, for the past 13 weeks you've been battliing it out to decide which of you would become my apprentice. You've beaten off (:smug:) all the other competition to secure your place in the final, so what I need to decide now, is, has the cream risen to the top or is it just bleedin' sour milk?

First, let's look over this task.

You were both tasked with recruiting a team and creating a pop up business, to sell the products you wanted to the forum to purchase from you, in order to create the most revenue possible.

Jake, I liked your team name and your banner was easily my favourite out of the two, but what the bloody 'ell was that turquoise writing about? At my bloody age I can barely see white on black, never mind bloody sea green on white.

What were you thinking?

Bloody turquoise?

Anyway, I'm talking.

So you went with a collection of experiences. Cherie, would you say Jake was a good project manager?

Hmmm, thank you cherie.

So this collection of experiences you chose; I've had a look at em and there are a couple I would have purchased. The big cats and the sharks for definite, but I'd pay 300 quid to never have to see little mix ever again. I have to question these experiences in the light of covid and how practical they are. I think you over complicated it unnecessarily.


Nicky - I liked your team name and your reasoning behind it. Your banner was simple, and although perhaps a bit too simple, the colours were christmassy and perfectly in line with that you wanted and what you were trying to do.

Annie, how was Nicky as PM?


Thank you. Annie and Cherie, thank you for your help with this task, it was appreciated, now please wait outside.

Annie biting her nails there. Xx

Ammi, can I have the totals for team Inspiration please?

Thank you, and Kate, can I have the totals for team unity please?


Thank you. So this is where we have a problem.

Jake, I think it's fair to say you've been the most consistently high performing candidate throughout the process. Even the other candidates identified you as such in the questions round. I wasn't really a fan of your Sonya round, but other than that you've been pretty faultless. The first to hit deadlines and just enthusiastic throughout. Watching you reveal and share personal details about yourself has helped us get to know who you are, and not just the candidate, so thank you.



Nicky, you started off slowly, but every task has seen you grow and display more and more confidence. The numbers you've put up in this final round are really outstanding. Although it's not for me to say, I think Annie has earned your 10pts the next time ML comes around. The first round was your worst round, and that in itself shows that you've been learning and
enjoying what you've been doing, and it's been fun to watch your contributions in the threads always thinking of ways you can improve. Never lose that.

I'm really struggling here. You both made mistakes in that final round, for example there was way too much money left unspent from the people that bought from you. You should have been creating packages to spend that money and taking it to them, not waiting to see if they came back in to buy more.

How do the people on the actual show cope at this moment. I genuinely feel sick
