So, a lot of responsibility lies with him,\u201d Gregory said. \u201cBut on the other hand, as I say, the characters, the cartoon, the pitch \u2013 these are all factors which, unfortunately, we just didn\u2019t match up to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, the performance of the other team was a lot better than ours. So it\u2019s difficult to place responsibility on one shoulders, but certainly the team leader does hold a lot of responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can watch Gregory\u2019s thoughts on his Apprentice exit below.

It\u2019s about maintaining a fine balance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;s1&quot;\">\u201cAt the end of the day, it\u2019s not about how much you say, which helps you sustain and helps you survive the process. It\u2019s about whether your team wins or loses and that\u2019s literally it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;s1&quot;\">\u201cMy advice for anybody who applies for this show: you need to go with a mentality that this is a team effort.
