Rhys' weekly update

Week 3: Rhys faces the firing line

With his experience in catering, Rhys was encouraged by his teammates to take on the project manager role for the cupcake challenge. From the outset of the task the 17 year old struggled to assert his authority and, rather than leading his team, he often took a backseat during the various stages. Despite his best efforts to boost morale, as the task continued it was clear the team had lost respect for their project manager and in Nick’s words they “cut him adrift”. The team’s lack of unity led to a loss in the boardroom and to Rhys becoming the third candidate to leave the show.

Week 2: Rhys struggles to be heard

Following the initial brainstorm, Rhys worked well with Arjun to develop some ideas for their “slide stuff” product. The pair led a focus group to get feedback on the team’s basic idea and reported their findings back to Hannah and Tim at the designers, only to have their suggestions brushed off. Nick Hewer noticed that Rhys and Arjun were being sidelined, but once the task result was revealed all was forgotten and the team enjoyed their success together.

Week 1: Rhys clashes with his project manager

Rhys was quick to speak up to suggest a location to sell the mountain of cheese and critical of project manger Jordan’s choice for ‘cheese of the day’. When the boys were faced with a market empty of customers by the afternoon, Rhys’ suggestion for location came back to haunt him. This and his regular clashes with team leader Jordan meant he narrowly avoided facing Lord Sugar’s finger. 

About Rhys
