May I just start by saying that asking your friends for votes in the poll hasn't gone unnoticed and, whilst not forbidden by Kate in the rules, is something I look down on and actually quite pity. Also, I'm really not quite up to the challenge of reading your entire plea. There's commitment to the game and then there's blinding me with text . You've always been a consistent performer in this game but you've almost always finished tasks in the "safe" positions rather than the outstanding ones, so will that go against you in this firing?

You were a close third in the poll and also in my own decision for this task so I'd never have really fired you just for the outcome of this one; but at the same time you, like Mitchell, have been a little bit sub-par since your earlier performances in the game. Also, Kate, bloody show me/us that entry or something

You've talked yourself out of the running and that's disappointing. Like the other boardroom members you've dipped in recent tasks and it's a shame because your earlier work was great (if not "star performance" worthy).

But Kate and I had come to an agreement before these pleas were made and they've actually not really made much of a difference as far as I'm aware... so with that in mind, the candidate finishing in fifth will be...
