@ Black Prez, First it was the boardroom then, it was airtime and Eunice being served, now it’s how she orates? No doubt, Eunice has the gift of public speaking; which has clearly helped her in the competition. To say that she doesn’t make business sense is unfounded. I saw episode 15, Eunice clearly articulated her role on the team, presented the launch strategy, and answered the questions from the executives---and she made her points clearly.

Isaac’s response to the executives on the other hand was too long and boring, and he stuttered the entire time. Here’s EXACTLY what Isaac said in his response to the Nutricima Executives:

“Now, if you come up with a liquid form of it, run it concurrently with the powder form of it, okay, you are targeting those high-end guys with the liquid form, but then the guy down the street know that I’m also taking something equivalent to what that guy is taking, it makes him feel good it makes him feel taken care of and it it it adds ummm value to the brand, you know,  so we think there are more opportunities that you can can still, still grab more than what you grab’n now”. 

**Now WHAT kind of response was that?! He needs a tutorial on Oral Speaking 101 from Eunice and FAST!!

Here's what you wrote: Posted by: Black Prez 
"Introduce a liquid form of power fist for the upper class market and that will motivate the low end customers since they see themselves drinking similar products in a powder form"

Smartness?! This is far from what Isaac actually said; maybe he'd WISHED he had said that. So, why don’t you do us all a favor and provide real quotes from the episode instead making things up? By the way, did you ever calculate the airtime per contestant?

Come on, you’re clearly wasting your time trying to make a case for Isaac. Isaac is lucky to have made it this far; he simply has nothing on Eunice. If it comes down to a face-off between Eunice and Isaac, let’s face the inevitable. I arrest my case.

@ Black Prez: I wanted Deox and Blessing to win, but from their own mistakes; they have shown Africa to be weak. They can thank themselves for coming up with a piss poor and sloppy presentation. Deox made himself look stupid. And Blessing cries too much; I’m so disgusted with her now.  Anyway, as far as Isaac goes; he said it in his bio that he’s quiet and that’s what I’m seeing on the show; nothing spectacular from him. My bet is on Eunice to win, so I choose scenario b from Dan Dare:

b. Blessing gets fired leaving Eunice to devour Isaac & claim the prize

Here’s an idea. If your issue is airtime, maybe you could do us all a favor and count how many minutes of airtime each contestant has gotten per episode, run an average, and present that to the forum.  Let us know what you find out…

I’m still in disbelief; I thought Deox and Blessing were two of the strongest players in the competition. In fact, I placed bets that they would make it to the final two. Episode 15 WAS SO CLEAR Deox and Blessing were the weakest links! Their presentation was piss poor! I was so disgusted! Anyway, you just never knew where the CEO was going with this one. Blessing fought tooth and nail to make it out of the boardroom, but I don’t think she’s going to make it after the next task. It’s so CLEAR! She’s out next!

Not as bloody as I expected, but atleast Tunde sure put up a good fight! Unfortunatley, he couldn’t come close to beating out Blessing and Deox! HA! Deox nailed Tunde as a leader, I almost felt sorry for him. Other than that, the task was interesting, school uniforms, a great way to test their creativity. Who knows what will be next,

@Black Prez. Imagine if Matrix loses and it’s down to Eunice vs. Isaac, she’ll take him out! I just hope neither Tunde nor Isaac makes it to the finals. Blessing and Deox all the way!

I hope Zulu loses in episode 14—there will be blood all over the boardroom. Tunde stated that he would take out both Deox and Blessing—yea right!  I bet you Blessing would nail his coffin!!! With him out of the way, the only people that make the show worth watching are Blessing, Eunice, and Deox. ….hhhhhmmmm---I don’t know about Isaac, he definitely needs to be more aggressive; if not more assertive. Everyone knows if you want to make it to the top, you need to have those qualities; otherwise step aside. Being aggressive can definitely be an asset for a good leader—they teach you that in leadership 101 at school. If Matrix loses—na wa o, there should be an ambulance outside the boardroom to take Isaac home. I don’t even think I could let my kids see that episode; who knows how much Isaac may cry…

Wow—I would hardly describe Isaac’s actions on episode 13 as ‘tactful’. If anything, he simply nailed Kathleen’s character. Isaac is just as bad as Eunice and Blessing in my book. Isaac said, “Kathleen’s voice is irritating” in episode 13 wow—at lease Eunice never had to resort to personal attacks or name calling to make a point. Even for the Celtel task, Isaac singled-out Kathleen in the boardroom saying she talks too much (some team player) Isaac has always had something against Kathleen for some reason and it was simply about time we got to see the real Isaac. I think there’s something sinister about Isaac, he’s been quite lucky to make it this far. I watched the Apprentice (US) version and Isaac doesn’t even scratch the surface in comparison to Randall, Sean, or Bill-- I think Blessing and Deox will make the top two for sure…
