Is this bullshit? Straight up called out.

 

[DECK'ARD]

I love her.

 

[Humidex]

Tricky Dicky and that sweat...oof.

 

[FortuneFaded]

Haha that highlighted sentence said 'a swiss army knife of business skills'.

Another one said 'a legend in my own mind'.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

So far I'm thinking Joseph and Charlene on determination alone.

 

[Carl]

Oh good now she's bringing up a dead child. Even though ti had nothing to do with anything.

 

[DECK'ARD]

!

Dead children is more of an XF play.

 

[FortuneFaded]

Richard & Joseph.

 

[Nothus]

The only ones I can realistically see Sugar investing in are Richards and maybe Vana's if they change it up a bit.

Joseph came across really well as an individual but his idea is way too risky.

 

[DECK'ARD]

I'd go for Joseph and Richard to have a good vs. evil final.

 

[schlongdog]

Vana and Joseph

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

Vana and Joseph

Yeah after that meeting it's looking like it, but I can't help but feel vena's idea of an app is more interesting than functional.

 

[Humidex]

Vana and Joseph

Vana = unknown quantity but lots of potential
Joseph = known quantity but a slow burner growth company

 

[Memento Mori]

Vana = unknown quantity but lots of potential
Joseph = known quantity but a slow burner growth company

Sugar generally prefers the riskier option going from past seasons.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Mention dead children again

 

[Carl]

Think Vana will win. Her idea is the best of a bad bunch. Don't think it would work very well though. Let's face it if she wins a lot of people will try it out

 

[DECK'ARD]

Too late

 

[Portugeezer]

Think Vana will win. Her idea is the best of a bad bunch. Don't think it would work very well though. Let's face it if she wins a lot of people will try it out

But £250,000 is not a lot for that.

 

[Portugeezer]

He has gone for some safe shit in the past. Richard will probably win.

 

[Carl]

But £250,000 is not a lot for that.

Yup, i agree, but i think it's better than the other ideas. All of them are a bit rubbish really.

 

[Humidex]

But £250,000 is not a lot for that.

Unless you outsourced the app development overseas?

 

[Memento Mori]

I think Richard's talked himself out of it .

 

[Nothus]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Portugeezer]

the cunt has left

 

[DECK'ARD]

Damn, Joseph beating Richard in the final would have been delicious.

 

[Ikuu]

The app is the entire business they can't risk releasing a poor quality product.

 

[Nothus]

Remember that the final is THIS SUNDAY, not next Wednesday.

 

[Dynasty]

So Joseph is going to win. Kind of dissapointed, hoping this year it wouldn't be so one-sided.

 

[mangochutney]

Has to be Joseph. Vana's idea just won't work. I can't see it being enticing to the market that can be monetised best.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I'm pretty conflicted about who should win.
Vana is more professional, and her idea is much more ambitious (such an app would be world wide in scope) whereas Joseph's idea is more tangible, albeit a bit unambitious (and probably only very small scale, UK based).
There is a risky option and a safe option, which will Sugar go for?

 

[DECK'ARD]

It's the final!

Plucky Joseph's attempt to make a plumbing business sound exciting to a room full of rich wankers, versus Vana changing the world of online dating by forcing everyone to play stupid games before saying "Ugh, never in a million years. Fuck off".

 

[iMax]

here we go!

 

[funkypie]

Both garage business plans. Someone one should actually come up with the a business plan that involves garbage.

 

[Carl]

OK so who's going to win. I don't like either business plan tbh. Both pretty crappy. Think Vana will maybe win but then there's the whole cost aspect. What's-his-face's idea seems more doable but not a particularly wide appeal i guess.

 

[DECK'ARD]

OK so who's going to win

Joseph losing would be like drowning an Andrex puppy.

It won't happen.

Vana's is a multi-million pound investment idea being presented to someone only willing to pay up 250 grand. I also have no clue what the target market is; gamers meet with MMOs, LANs, etc and people who play Candy Crush meet on Tinder or any other dating site/app.

Yeah i'm not sure who i think will win. I said about the cost aspect, it would cost way more than Shuggs wants to invest. Also the whole idea is bollocks anyway.

But i'm not really a fan of Joseph's idea either. But then i guess it's actually a doable idea which is all it needs to be next to Vana's

 

[DECK'ARD]

Joseph winning also gives Alan another chance to tell us how he reminds him of when he started, and how with drive and determination anything is possible!

Even selling really shitty home computers.

 

[Plum]

PlayDate must have been copyrighted already.

Nobody would be stupid enough to pick Date Play instead.

EDIT: Joseph creating a new torrenting business with that name then.

 

[NekoFever]

Play Date also has connotations of children, which is weird for an adult dating app.

I guess so, but even then Play Date just sounds better and is more recognizable. Date Play just sounds too strange. She should have just picked other words and been more creative.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Oh Vana

 

[Carl]

Vana just ignoring everything they say lol

 

[Plum]

Man that "we're creating a digital billboard and a TV ad" line really hammered home how silly this show is.

 

[DECK'ARD]

I can see Joseph's logo in the Yellow Pages, so that's something I guess.

Bless.

 

[Ikuu]

That designer dying on the inside.

 

[Nothus]

Ruth just creeps me out.

 

[DeadOnions]

Neither business is particularly enticing. I think Joe will win due to the low risk nature of it.

 

[Plum]

So a dating app aimed towards gamers that uses juggling and dancing to represent basic gaming terminology.

Is it aimed towards gamers?

I don't know.

 

[Nothus]

There's no way Sugar will be up for playing 'the long game'.
