WOWAY Apprentice: Chat Thread

[Elvis]

Wasn't there a rule in Survivor if you don't vote in three consecutive tribal councils then you are automatically eliminated from the game? Perhaps the same can be done for Apprentice. If you don't participate in three consecutive challenges (or two because the cast is smaller) then you are automatically fired.

Trending!

This is nonsense! Al would never create a political song. This is bribery! There will be protests!

[Teh Dingo]

That can't be right. There should be at least two trending topics about what One Direction member girls love today......

[Well, Well, Well]

that FB trend was clearly typed up by someone on the girls team, since it is riddled with errors.

[Well, Well, Well]

you lost the challenge. it was up to ToasterBoy to determine a winner and he was well aware of the rules. we pushed the boundaries with our subject and no one except Weird Al himself can determine if he would tackle Donald Trump in a parody. i think it would be a great idea if he did. our parody is not even definitively political and in fact i would say it is largely apolitical and rather a good-natured jab at Donald Trump's ridiculous persona, which is the driving force behind this game.

I also believe that Al would not write a song about leveling up on video games. that topic is not interesting enough and nobody besides gamers even knows what leveling up is. I have only seen people say "Al wouldn't write that" about our song; however no one is saying concurrently that he would write a song about video games, because he wouldn't.

and whether a song is easily recognizable or not is in fact a big part of how Al chooses a lead parody, and your song did not satisfy that requirement. that's very impressive that your song reached #2 but it was #2 because our song was #1. if the "popular opinion" of that opinion poll means that our song has to become the Handy of this challenge, then so be it.

for the record I am sorry that you have to lose another member, but the members of our team who did contribute worked hard and it paid off. those making it seem like we didn't work together well are misinformed. we had each other's backs during the whole process despite some early creative differences, but that's going to happen with a good band/team.

stop crying and come up with something better for the next challenge.

I'm not a gamer and I've never played a single RPG and I have no problem with understanding our song, just like I've never used Ebay but I have no problem understanding that song. Also I think that a HUGE proportion of people enjoy gaming. Only few are real gamers, but majority of people have tried gaming at some point. Also Al wrote a song about Pokemon, which in my opinion is pretty equal subject (personally I'm way less familiar with Pokemon than gaming).

Polkamon was not a lead single, it was recorded for a soundtrack.

I just want to remind you guys, this is just a game. I can understand Team Pobeda being upset about not winning this round, especially when we worked as hard as we did. I'm still a little upset, but we didn't win this round and there's nothing we can do about that now. WWW your team won this round, keep that in mind and please calm down.

[Well, Well, Well]

I'm perfectly calm and am well aware that this is just a game.

but I am going to defend my team and our song.
