Even though Bryce made a noble decision somebody had to be fired. The object of the game is to be the last man standing. So I can completely understand Carolyn and Bill saying what they said. Bryce knew the rules coming into the game. So when it comes to the boardroom you have to be able to point the finger at someone. Tarek certainly didnt have a problem pointing the finger at Bryce.
If Bryce is too noble to play the game then he shouldn't have signed up.
