Gone but definitely not forgotten: Jason Akermanis

Passionately temperamental, Jason Akermanis left the show with an explosive boom after Mr Bouris called him "a bit of a maverick" - a term Aker doesn't like.

"It's a bad word. I'm a team player, I'm consistent, I've done it the whole way through. You made a bad decision," Aker said at the boardroom table. This fury continues well after leaving the office.

"I don't mind getting beaten if it's from a better opponent," says Aker. "But I hate getting beaten when the person and the persons I'm being beaten by are inferior and cannot for the life of me do the same job."

But it wasn't all bad. Aker believes the real winners are the charities and he’s happy that he raised funds for his charity - Vicdeaf.

"There's a lot of winners here. It's for charity. It's a great thing. I've helped my charity for 10 years and I'm proud of that and I can leave knowing I can do no more."

Is being a passionate maverick a bad thing? Tell us what you think in the comments area below (and keep them clean please).

What a pity that one of the most talented and genuine contestants (Jason) was fired. He was absolutely right in his final comments to the Board. He deserved better treatment and the show, and his charity will be poorer without him. Long live Dicko, and get rid of some of the other irritating male losers!
