I got through to the final interview stages. They asked me why i was applying for the show (which was also on the written application form) so i stuck with what i said on there. Which was basically "because i'm sick of seeing clueless bellends on the show!"

The business plan had nothing to do with food. It was a real life call of duty using either laser tag or paintballs. Big warehouses with various "maps" and games to play. It would eventually be franchised out.

Expect Laser COD sometime soon in a town near you.
