As a Team 70 mentor, I too felt bad about putting Team 808's captain in such an awkward position, our sincere apologies if anyone was offended. It was not our intention to do so. The young lady, our Team 70 captain was very nervous and did not want to have to go out in front of the "world" and do this. This has been discussed by our Team Leadership and in the future we will discuss issues like this with any team PRIOR to the alliance picks. This will avoid any embarrassment and misunderstandings of the situation. Let's move on.
