I agree with technodup, if there was a core market that thought it was a good idea, she'd have a lot more than 5k signups after all the exposure she's had!

To be honest, yep have to agree with that.

Is it just me or have none of this years lot actually made very much money themselves, despite all claiming that they were business geniuses?

The hairdresser one said she has a salon and employed 12 people, turnover was £150k.. very slim pickings surely, unless she's got 8 Saturday girls, and even then!

Joseph said he had made 60k, I wonder if that included his own salary, otherwise he's sort of making similar money to many other hard working plumbers.

Richard's company has made 17k, I really hope that included hefty salaries, although looking at his site, possibly not - it seems like he mainly employs rather too many staff to make template based sites which I could probably make myself in a few days with a couple of tutorials.

Leaving my business credentials aside for a second, I'm her target user. She mentioned 'quality' men- well I'm single, 30s, homeowner and have used dating apps. I'm no millionaire but more eligible than many.

And when I can check hundreds on Tinder, POF et al in minutes for free why the fk would I want to fanny around playing some pointless game just so she can serve me up some dog her boffin thinks would be suitable? Like everyone else I decide on looks first and go from there.

She'd have been as well suggesting blind date as play date. It's crap.

Happy to revisit this in 12 months and see who was right.

I have to admit, I'm intrigued by the idea. I don't use dating apps, but if this dry spell carries on much longer that might change! hehe

I think it's a crap idea to find a match, however, once you've found someone you're interested in, if the games are *just* right and addictive in their own right, then there could be something in it!

What? Find someone you like and instead of talking, meeting or fking you want to play online games?

Now if it was a quick fire quiz to ascertain their 'preferences' so as to avoid any future embarrassment when you try to pot the brown off the break she might have been on to something, Max Power style.

Call it 'Have you ever...?'

Now if someone would just give me a quarter of a million.

Two very poor PM’s
Sophie: Think she really wanted a stretched pod .
Akeem: Couldn’t organise a ‘P*** up in a brewery’
& has no leadership skills what so ever.
Twice a PM’s & two wins... but both times being swayed by his team & being made to look better than he really is.

He will be gone soon...next time his team loses.
Kathryn has still got my vote to be the winner.
( Aaron was a bit quiet this week... Ashkay coming up on the rails)
