Added 14 players - not bad.

[Kate!]

Bump - anyone who still wants to join in, only a few days till it starts.

[Marc]

How many points do you get? Just 1 point for every correct guess?

[Kate!]

I'll have a look at how I did it last time, I've forgot Didn't do it last year, was the year before...I'll have a look now.

Can't find it...nvm

Scoring system

Predict the losing team - I will use my discretion if you leave it to the very last minute to post this and I think it was too obvious 5 points.

Predict the three candidates that will face Sir Alan in the Boardroom after the task - 5 points for each correct.

Predict who gets fired - 5 points if correct.

All predictions must be in BEFORE the team leader reveals which two people he/she is taking back into the boardroom.

[Shaun]

Didn't it used to be predictions can be made until the Team Leader picks the 2 he/she's taking to the boardroom?

I'll add predict the losing team to the scoring system Will stick with 5 points for each prediction, it looks better with high scores

[Kate!]

Players, just a reminder this starts tomorrow night, don't forget to post your predictions as per the scoring system detailed below.

VERY IMPORTANT RULE.....

Predictions for the losing team must be in [B]BEFORE all the candidates go into the boardroom for the reveal of the task outcome. Predictions for the three candidates facing the chop must be in BEFORE the team leader reveals which two people he/she is taking back into the boardroom. Predictions for who gets fired must be made BEFORE the three candidates re-enter the boardroom to discover who gets fired.

Yes, how would you like it to go? Predict a winner now before it starts, or predict it halfway through? I'll allocate 10 points for this either way and go with what the majority want to do?

[Marc]

Well you could predict the winner now; if you're right get 20 pts.

Then you predict the winner half way through; and if you get it right then get 10pts.

But obviously if you've guessed the winner before the show starts and you wish to stick with that then you can and you'll get 20pts. The second guess allows those who have lost their contestant to guess again.

Sounds good

Can players please express whether they'd like to do this. I'm sure the majority if not all will be happy with it.

So... if all agreed ....predict your winner now for 20 points. You'll get the opportunity to change halfway through but if you do so the points available will decrease to 10

[Marc]

I don't mind if it doesn't happen, just gives us all a cheeky few more points

[Kate!]

Just for amusement and to get us all in the mood...one of my favourite ever youtube vids

Youtube video

[Marc]

We won't go for the predicting of the winner, as I'm the only one who knows of it

Perhaps get us all to predict the winner after the first show?

We'll all be posting our prediction tonight (hopefully there won't be too many dropouts) so everyone can do it then. Either during or after the show will be fine.

Can everyone please have a quick read through my posts in this thread so you all know what's what before making tonights predictions.

[Kizzy]

Yey! sounds brill kate, looking forwart to it

[Kate!]

Getting my post ready then all I have to tonight is fill in the names of my choices for the following....

Episode 1:

Overall Winner -
Losing Team -
3 Candidates for the Boardroom -
Who's Fired? -

[Kate!]

Bump for any last minute contenders

[RtooDee2]

Okey dokey, ive read the rules and it seems straight forward

3 separate posts before (losing team reveal/ 3 boardroom victims reveal and who gets the chop)

Good luck everyone!

[Kizzy]

so we post who we think is going in the boardroom and fired directly after the tasks?...sorry

[Samuel.]

I've just realised a lot of this predictions will have to be made during the episode. I don't normally watch until it's up on iPlayer. So I'll have to back out. Sorry Kate.

[Jordan.]

Overall Winner: Jade
Losing Team: Boys
3 Candidates for the Boardroom: Gabrielle, Jane, Bilyana
Who's Fired?:

-will edit the rest in later-

[Kate!]

Kizzy, if you do it like Jordan has and make each prediction before anythings been announced that will be fine. I can see what time everyone posts each prediction, keeping the thread onscreen for the duration of the show. Also predict an overall winner and as previously stated there will be a chance to change this later in the series.

Sam, no worries. I'm sure that'll be the case for a few players.
