Results tomorrow evening, time to be confirmed.

Still need noms from Kazanne, Roy, Novo, Flamingjoe and Lee. I'm off to bed now.

No doubt I'll be back on in an hour, when I can't sleep as usual :bored:

still need noms from these four people - got Roys'. You may have to wait till tomorrow for results, deadline is 4pm, come on!

Right, half an hour till deadline, I'm going to have to start the results in 5 or 10 minutes, or I simply won't have time to get it all in before I have to get off this computer, I'm sorry, I appreciate I set the chosen deadline, but to be honest you have all been online plenty and had loads of opportunity to pm me your noms and not leave it till the last minute :eek:

Yep rules are rules

TiBB Does The Apprentice - Task 3 Results. Now.

Firstly, let's see what Lord ShuGrr thought of your efforts, and which team has won task 3!

"Before I begin critiquing both side's performances I have to say I was both impressed and a little amused with both team's focusing on the idea of these plans and trips having to meet certain criteria that weren't asked for, for example: availability (I saw one team scrap a whole idea because the tickets were out of stock, and in all honesty I doubt any of us would have noticed :laugh:), the proximity and likelihood of us being able to travel to and from events within time, and the ideas of themes. A lot of thought was put into this and both sind like pretty good weekends, but there were a couple of ideas that just grossed me out tbh :idc:

Pioneer
I had to step in briefly and remind your team that the idea of me wearing a suit from George at ASDA may have resulted in instant failure, so I was pleased to see you up your game afterwards. A lot of the designs and little customisations you came up with were really to my taste - for example, the suits and the idea of a hangover recovery pack made me giggle like a slut.

However, there was one thing that was quite difficult to understand and that was your pitch. Although I appreciate MTVN's efforts, the pitch was a little confusing and could've been laid out more clearly, some spoilers containing the more surplus information and some headings and bolds for the dates, times and key information. As a result I was reading it thinking "is this for Friday? No it must be Sunday, OK idfk".

I'd also like to know whose idea it was to serve me and my client zebra and frog's legs... at some points we thought we were enduring a Bushtucker trial rather than a fine meal. That said, the zorbing, the idea of a flask of whiskey to cope with intolerable clients concealed in my jacket, and a hangover cure were fun ideas, but I have to take this seriously. I wanted to die when me and my client found out we'd arrived at Stringfellows, and he stormed out furiously.

Prospect
Again, Apple wrote out a pretty fantastic & convincing pitch. There was a stronger concentration on the idea of securing business contracts here, and there was the impression that this was taken a little more professionally by your team.

Your set menus were unfortunate on the account that I hate mushrooms (risotto) and the idea of 'cauliflower soup' made me want to fire my secretary, but the 2nd night seemed better. Whilst at the Sarastro restaurant, however, my client remarked that the whole building was very loud, decorated heavily with distracting arts and fabrics, and we were unable to secure a deal :idc: I was left doubly embarrassed by the fact that you'd only budgeted for one person's meal - I ended up having to pay out of pocket for my client.

In general - I preferred your hotel, I preferred your pitch and I enjoyed the idea of a 'Best of British' theme, but the Beatles thing was a little bit low-key and cheesy, and there were a few too many scheduling errors. I think you missed a trick with booking the Aston Martin for the Beatles day rather than the Bond one.

General
This is tough for me. I found Pioneer's ideas funny and in all seriousness there were a lot of little attention-to-detail inclusions that are swinging me to your team. But I think you completely underestimated the tone of the task and in all likelihood taking clients to eat strange meats and then lapdancing would really struggle to get you anywhere. Prospect again sold their plans better, and despite a few blunders in the budgeting, were able to dazzle some clients.

I think I'm going to have to take this down to: which night reminded me more of a vaudevillian drug trip, and which night was more executive? Therefore, for me, Prospect are this task's winners."

where you going anywhere nice

Told you we shouldn't have taken this one seriously :nono:

We won again :amazed:

And thanks at the bit in bold ShuGrr :love:
