Janelle and Linan thought that it might be good to start the day by giving our fair bit of quirky comments on the teams, especially after the gut tickling posts by the teams. So here we go.
FOUR
If there is one group that should be awarded plaques for most friendly discussions and best team engagement for all team members, team FOUR would have bagged that trophy. Sit down for a chat with this group and in 1 minute you'll feel like part of that group. Absolutely welcoming and awesome atmosphere for discussions. Keep it up!
Now Linan requests that you guys be meaner to each other. Grill, roast and barbeque your ideas much more. Quarrel and debate. Just keep it non physical. There's always the foosball table for frustration venting. Janelle?
Haha since Janelle is such a friendly and nice person (HAH), she would like you guys to continue being sweet and pleasant (:

Man up man up! If there's a song Linan would like to dedicate to you, it would be "PUMP IT" by Black Eyed Peas. If you need coffee, go ahead. Beer... Well there's always happy hour at Boat Quay. You can request for Red Bull and we will try our utmost best to get it at Raffles City basement.
This team has really awesome ideas, and really really great potential for development. We're very impressed that you guys are trying to take a risk and go on the road less travelled. Continue thinking critically. If SWOT analysis is not useful, don't use it. If Porter's Diamond restricts you to 4 rectangles rather than expands your idea, dump it. If simple demand and supply, diminishing returns or economies of scale and scope suffices to diversify your ideas and to critically dissect your industrial plans, do it. We'd love to hear more from you.

This team has fantastic ideas. You guys are certainly creative and thinking out of the box! Your commentators would have loved to poke holes in your ideas, but we only managed to create pores. That might reflect badly on intellectual stagnation on the part of your commentators. We beg for your forgiveness. As the only group with 6 people however, we'd like to set standards higher. We do expect more from you. And we do hope that the 6th member has not crossed the peak of diminishing returns.
We suggest more thorough development of ideas, and much higher level of critical analysis. Be harsher to yourselves. We also suggest listening more to each other as it might be hard for some people to get a word in when your team is larger than the rest!
Sting
You guys have great prospects for university. If we need help for our doctorate thesis, we will look for you. Because for all we know, you might be our thesis mentors. And we won't be surprised. Awesomely intellectual group. It's obvious that you guys are bright and super smart individuals from your team discussions! You guys embody the socratic method. Great questions asked. Now lets see what answers you can provide.
We have one simple pointer for this group. Comparative advantage. Absolute advantage doesn't warrant domination. Please please please do not fall prey to this trap - like so many business managers did. Capitalise on the team members' comparative advantages, and through free trade, expand your production frontier. (We're trying our best to sound as intellectual as you guys). Also, as Ying Yuan said yesterday, time management is SO important, so please manage your time well and do not let bad time management be your Achilles heel!
The Bagels
Linan owes you bagels. He knows that, he remembers that, and the donuts' cousins will be here. A passionate driven and yes, fun group. They actually make this competition seem much less stressful than it really is, and of course making it as fun as it should be. Just go check out this group's page.
Now don't get carried away. Your idea is refreshing. Great great potential. Now systemise it, structure it and make it fire proof. We'd love to hear from you soon. By the way, you guys should consider changing your team name to the camwhores (:
