Ravi Choudhary This is the situation as it now stands:

After Trevor Potts's impressive performance of 137, 15V's average got boosted from 125.454 (1380 /11) to 126.416 (1517/ 12).

This means that 15V have a 32 point advantage over Triple A+, who scored 1485 points, averaging 123.75 upon 12 players.

With this advantage, if team captain Thomas Carey scores 249 points or more in his 2 matches, then he would secure success for 15V for this task, regardless of how Dave Robjohns and Matthew Tassier perform for Triple A+, even if both scored 140, the highest score possible in TJLA.

(249 + 32 = 281 > 280 = 140 x 2)

Ravi Choudhary Yesterday, Dave Robjohns scored 131 and then Matthew Tassier made 134, giving Triple A+ an additional 265 points, and boosting the team average from 123.750 to 125 exactly.

This meant team captain for 15V Thomas Carey needed to make at least 234 points in both his matches for the win.

Today, after making 131 in his first game, Thomas now needed at least 103 points in his 2nd game for victory.

He successfully achieved the objective, scoring 129 in game 2 and 260 points overall for both games, raising 15V's average from 126.417 to 126.929. Victory was assured when Thomas spotted Tzarina in Round 16, scoring 105.

And then by finding Euglena and Nausea in rounds 17 and 18 respectively - scoring 118 - he made it impossible for Triple A+ to win this task, at all.

Martin Thomas Sarah had the lowest score in the Boardroom.

Therefore, thank you for playing but

👉 Sarah, you're fired!

Sarah  M

Sarah M i see i didn't get an unhappy face that i was fired, i guess thats because i'm not well liked :(

Fiona T

Fiona T Sarah, this is getting ridiculous. Fi got a sad face because I was the team leader when she got fired. Try bring a positive attitude and you'll get along just fine.

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford :(

Sarah  M

Sarah M nothing but a bunch of bullies on this site :( so sorry if i can't bring a positive attitude when i felt bullied

Dave Kempshall

Dave Kempshall Sarah - there are seven other previous rounds in this tournament so far where someone was fired and no-one expressed an unhappy face and none of these people have read into this as them not being well-liked. In fact, the only time that has happened is the - at this point - far too much discussed occasion when Fiona expressed it to Fi, who is one of her friends. Please read my previous comment and I try and take it on board. I don’t think it’s healthy for you to read so much into absolutely nothing. And I am at a loss that you have now gone to the level of accusing people of bullying.

Dave Kempshall In a previous round comments I tried to give you my thoughts and advice, but I will stop now if in any way you've interpreted that as the bullying you mentioned above.

Sarah  M

Sarah M I don't think you are a bully Dave and thank you for kind words on here and by private message. I said what I said when I was upset, not everyone on here is a bully I just got upset at the way 2 individuals have acted towards me recently. I could of took it the wrong way, but people do need to consider their words and the bad impact they can have on people like myself. I thought people were quite rude to each other in this tourney but maybe I didn't understand it and it was part of it as I don't watch the program.
This just doesn't feel like a friendly and inclusive place sometimes.

Fiona T

Fiona T I generally try to be nice to people. I've been aware in the past that you have said you don't feel included so have made a real effort to challenge when you're seeking a game and be friendly towards you as can be seen from 157 games with you. Fi is one of the lower rated players in the tournament, so, as team leader for the task where she was fired, I tried to be supportive by posting a sad face, which has somehow resulted in me being accused of bullying which is a pretty unpleasant accusation (how would you feel if you were unfairly accused of being a bully?) I'm not going to engage further on this topic as it seems unlikely to achieve anything constructive so suggest we both move on and remember that it's best to assume that people's intentions are good until they've given us good reason to think otherwise.

Sarah  M

Sarah M I wouldn't feel very nice at all if I was accused of bullying but I don't think I do anything that would lead to anyone accusing me of that.
You called me ridiculous when I said I didn't get an unhappy face when I was evicted from the room or whatever it's called. And told me to be more positive when I was upset at the way people speak to me on this game. It is bullying behaviour and it's not nice.

Sarah  M

Sarah M And it's really upsetting me and making me feel awful so it's best I just leave the game. See ya

Tourney round: The Apprentice: Task 9 (Touchdown Jnr LA)
