6. Are there any firings or decisions made in the game that you felt were unfair? Please explain your answers.
"Nothing in my eyes was unfair. Maybe wrong but not unfair."
"spacedingo got a raw deal, man. And I'm not just saying that 'cause I'm him. He made one simple mistake on one challenge, and then got accused of hurting his team for getting one of it's best players fired when he was trying to help his team and prevent a fiasco involving the other team. He also got accused of purposly getting Ak fired, wjhen dingo and Ak are very good friends on the forum, which really hurt."
"It all seemed pretty fair to me. Dingo's firing wasn't fair, per se, but he requested it so it had to be done."
"No, not really. The game was fair and I thought ran fairly smoothly. I wish I could have stayed in the game longer, but that was my own undoing."

9. Do you have any additional comments/questions about The Alprentice?
My comments in italics
"Why were there so many graphic challenges? After awhile it became clear that you were firing players that really didn't deserved to be fired if you look at the records just to keep someone who knew how to work the graphics. Beavis and Ryan were the only two who were going to get there. I think one skill should not be the only reason you get to the final two. So for next season I'd say make it an even mix so no one person has an edge."
While Elvis will be running next season and coming up with the challenges, I've already designed five of the challenges for the All Stars edition, and only one of them is a graphic challenge. While I plan to include two or three more graphic challenges, rest assured the challenges will not require nearly as many graphic creations as this season did.
"S'all good Peace out, brutha!!!!"
Oh yeah, you know it.
"Great game and *ha ha* a look back at my glory days in the speech...oi vey..."
Glad you enjoyed it.
"The only down fall I see with the Alprentice was that the majority of the tasks were graphical based ... besides the *cough cough* eBay challenge, they almost all required some sort of strength in that area ... my suggestion would be to diversify it a little more, so that it's a more level playing field. Besides that, very well done and fun game."
As I said above, the All Star contestants won't have to worry about graphics very often. Thanks for the compliment!
"Great job Anth"
Thanks!
"Great job Anth, I had fun being your associate, and I hope I can continue my job as the associate!"
It's all up to Dave, but I put in good word for you.
"Anth- THANKS for putting this whole thing together. It was really fun and I enjoyed it while it lasted."
Don't mention it! I had a great time too.
