Tasks
Unlike last season, the show aired 2 episodes a week and each episode had the challenge and the boardroom.
Task 1
- Airdate: 18 April 2012 (Task & Boardroom)
- Fortune's Project manager: Tania Zaetta
- Platinum's Project manager: David Hasselhoff
- Task: To create and operate a celebrity dog washing and pampering experience.
- Winning team: Platinum
- Reasons for victory: Team Platinum focused more on corporate dollars and high end donations. The price for a dog wash was set at $500, in order to earn more money whilst washing less dogs. David Hasslehoff was also able to promote the event and draw larger crowds.
- Losing team: Fortune
- Reasons for loss: Despite many team members bringing in large donations, they did not bring in as much as the men. Additionally, the women set their wash prices much lower, as to not turn away the general public, a strategy that backfired.
- Sent to Boardroom: Tania Zaetta, Lauryn Eagle, Fiona O'Loughlin
- Fired: Fiona O'Loughlin- For bringing in the least amount of money. Despite her personality and drive to do well, Fiona relied solely on one donation that ended up falling through.
- Notes:
- David Hasslehoff won $245,000 for his charity
- During the challenge, Fiona approached David and asked him to donate 25% of the men's earnings to the women. David refused. It was later revealed in the boardroom that Project Manager Tania was unaware of this.
- Lauryn also crossed over to the men's team in order to try and steal some of their waiting clients. Tania was unhappy that Lauryn was constantly away from the women's team and not working on their own clients.
- Team Fortune was criticised in the boardroom for not using Patti's bigger celebrity status to combat David's.
Task 2
- Airdate: 19 April 2012 (Task & Boardroom)
- Fortune's Project manager: Marion Grasby
- Platinum's Project manager: Ian "Dicko" Dickson
- Task: To create a pop-up shop in Sydney's infamous harbour side location, 'The Rocks' and raise money by auctioning off art. Each team member had to create a piece of art that represented a significant memory of their life, as well as a team artwork. $20,000 was also given to the team that offered the best experience on the day.
- Winner: Platinum
- Reasons for victory: Team Platinum raised $134,253 in the auction. Additionally, the men were also judged as having the better experience, and won an extra $20,000.
- Losing team: Fortune
- Reasons for loss: Team Fortune only managed to raise $70,120. Even if that had won the extra $20,000, it would still not be enough to beat the men.
- Sent to Boardroom: Marion Grasby, David Hasselhoff, Tania Zaetta
- Fired: Marion Grasby- for being an unsuccessful Project manager. Even though the rest of the team believed that Tania should be fired, she had bought in the most money for the team. Additionally, Marion was deemed as not having the harsher, more upfront personality to continue forward in the competition.
- Notes:
- Ian "Dicko" Dickson raised $154,253 for his charity.
- Patti and David swapped teams for this challenge at the request of Mr. Bouris.
- Mr Bouris gave Dicko the opportunity to give the money Team Fortune had made back to them for Marion's Charity. He gladly accepted.
- Initially, Ben Dark appeared to also want the title of project manager when choosing leaders, but eventually stepped aside after words with Dicko. Ben and Dicko continued to butt heads over the duration of the challenge.
- Tania accused Lauryn of talking over Marion ant the other team members during the boardroom. Both Lauryn and Charlotte denied this, and argued that it was Tania who talked over others.
- Nathan was praised for bringing in large donations in consecutive challenges($35,000 & $40,000).
Task 3
- Airdate: 25 April 2012 (Task & Boardroom)
- Fortune's Project manager: Charlotte Dawson

- Winner: Fortune
- Losing team: Platinum
- Sent to Boardroom: Nathan Joliffe, Ian "Dicko" Dickson, Jason Akermanis
- Fired: Nobody - Mr. Bouris decided that it was fair that all three stayed.
- Notes:
- Initially the teams were swapped back to “Men” vs “Women”. However at the request of Mr Bouris, Ben Dark was moved to team Fortune to even out the teams.
- Charlotte Dawson won $20,000 for her charity.

- Losing team: Fortune
- Reasons for loss: Although Team Fortune gained a lot of publicity, Mr Bouris felt as if they did not get across the message 'We Care'.
- Sent to Boardroom: Vince Sorrenti, Patti Newton, Charlotte Dawson
- Fired: Patti Newton- for asking to be fired because she felt as if she could not bring anymore to the competition.

gollark: Or I guess you could compile your whole thing including the license verification to bytecode.
gollark: <@154361670188138496> I mean, kind of. Thing is, OmniDisks\™ are basically only useful for getting around PotatOS sandboxing. So if they can't do that the disk is useless.This sort of "only useful in an environment you fully control" sandboxing is the only workable sort.
