What an experience the competition must of been. Win or lose I'm sure it was an awesome learning and networking opportunity. I only wish I could have heard all of what the "guest experts" had to say instead of just a few clips. I think you presented your personal brand and your skills very well on the show, sorry you didn't make it to the end. I'm sure it was tough being away from your son and can imagine he's thrilled to have you back. Congrats on the 3rd place finish :) Thor, I’m jealous! What an experience the competition must of been.

You could have won if you were going up against Jamie in the end. I think it will be charles who is going to win, although I am probably wrong. So, have you been able to use all of the techniques that you learned from the show yet in your own ventures? One NIM didn't touch on is coding, and where to get it done. Do you have a good code guy, I need one for a site I am going to do. I would like to have Shoemoney's code guy, who wouldn't right? Of all of the people on that show, I think you are the kind of person I would be friends with. I like how you think outside of the box. Here is a riddle that will require you to think outside the box. 'There once was a man who lived on the 25th floor. Every morning he would get into the elevator and push the number one and go to the first floor and go to work. When he comes home from work he would enter his apartment building then go into the elevator and press 20 and then walk the five flights of stairs to his floor to go home. This he did every day... Why?' answer this question, and you will be the next internet riddle solver (j/k) Take care man. Thor,

I believe that Joel said that they are considering taking the show to TV, which I think would work well. I can fully appreciate what it's like behind the Scenes, having been involved with main stream TV over in the UK. I've been on the crew of a few lifestyle shows myself. But back to you and your persuits. What's on the cards in the near future? I would imagine that a JV may well be struck, off screen, between yourself and any one of the presenters that Joel bought along to share their knowledge. Anyway I am sorry that I have only managed to leave a comment for you towards the end of the show.... work has kept me pretty busy and I haven't been surfing around to see other peoples comments as much as I normally would. Thanks again for a great show. Regards Brian Hello Again

It was an unbelievably educational experience and I learned a lot from it - both about internet marketng an about business relationship building. I am the last person who is going to criticize Jason or anyone else publicly who was on the show. Jason was obviously popular on he show (check out his blog and the comments from Episode 10). I think the biggest thing any of us contestants could do at his point would be to do whatever is possible to encourage the development of a season 2 of the show in some form or another. The amount of work to do this production was monumental on Joel and Eric's part, and I am not certain that a season 2 is a dead ringer at this point. Thanks Brian and Tom.

Congrats on even giving it a try, that is more than most would attempt. A gracious ending to what I’m sure was a educational journey.

I had considered entering the auditions myself, and would loved to have experienced the whole show and of course taken on board the knowledge that you and your fellow contestants were exposed to... so many Internet gurus that I have come to know over my time building up my businesses. But back to the show. As I said I have watched it from a very British viewpoint, and I was interested to see how others reacted to the 'business of business'. I didn't think that your strategy was in any way unacceptable. As you said, What company lets their competitors see their hand? I am sure that you aren't going to say anything against Jason, but I think that his attitude was rather pious and frankly childish. And just to add, I didn't think much of his constant finger pointing which didn't seem to sit too well with his 'beliefs'. As far as JVs go I thought that you, Alisande & Charles were the most likely JVs purely because you all have an open attitude and aren't wedded to just one concept. Now I also realise that we were watching, essentially, a game show and that, what all game shows need is Jeapody so I don't take the outcome too seriously. I won't be surprised to see you in a joint venture with Joel or one of the other top flight internet business men in the future so good luck and ... Yes I'll be watching next week to see who gets crowned... I suspect that Trippy will finally make it to the top. Hello Thor

As a viewer in the United Kingdom I have watched the last 11 episodes with great interest.

I had considered entering the auditions myself, and would loved to have experienced the whole show and of course taken on board the knowledge that you and your fellow contestants were exposed to… so many Internet gurus that I have come to know over my time building up my businesses.

But back to the show.

As I said I have watched it from a very British viewpoint, and I was interested to see how others reacted to the ‘business of business’.

I didn’t think that your strategy was in any way unacceptable.

As you said, What company lets their competitors see their hand?

I am sure that you aren’t going to say anything against Jason, but I think that his attitude was rather pious and frankly childish. And just to add, I didn’t think much of his constant finger pointing which didn’t seem to sit too well with his ‘beliefs’.

As far as JVs go I thought that you, Alisande & Charles were the most likely JVs purely because you all have an open attitude and aren’t wedded to just one concept.

Now I also realise that we were watching, essentially, a game show and that, what all game shows need is Jeapody so I don’t take the outcome too seriously.

I won’t be surprised to see you in a joint venture with Joel or one of the other top flight internet business men in the future so good luck and …

Yes I’ll be watching next week to see who gets crowned… I suspect that Trippy will finally make it to the top.
