    The show is kinda bull****e innit!

    It's all about keeping the ratings winners in that bit longer - while pretendng the eventual winner hasn't been decided before the very first episode is ever even shot....and this year it's all about Sugar investing £250,000 or whatever in the winning candidtes business.....but their businesses are not part of the competition - infact, we are never told anything about their businesses! I believe the Irish version is doing the same thing this year....but Bill is only investing 100,000 Euro.

    What tripe!!

    Tom you absolute legend. Admitting to Lord Sugar that you made a vital business decision based on a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors :D

    Bill Cullen should take note... thats "liathroidí"

    when he admitted to 'rock paper scissors' it was a real laugh out loud moment - their faces were priceless

    Tom was trying to be fair to everyone on the team by attempting to give them all a chance of filling their order books knowing full well that if they failed the task whoever had the least sales would be most at risk of being fired.
    Clearly Lord Sugar et al don't consider trying to give everyone an equal opportunity is laudable in any way and would prefer to reward someone who tries to grab everything for him/herself ala Melody.

    Sugar was playing to the camera with his "dilemma" at the end. There was no dilemma - it was a straight choice between Leon who hadn't done anything (other than act stupid and claim that since he couldn't speak French he deserved a pass) and Tom who had at least tried (even though he'd let Melody undermine him).

    Btw Sugar is only itching to fire Natasha (yeah)- I expect her to go the next time she's on a losing team.

    It makes her seem so patronising but I agree Lord Sugar really wants to fire her. It really annoys me that he admires Melodie for keeping everything for herself and views that as a positive. She'd want to watch herself though as we saw how that kind of confidence led to Paloma's downfall last year. I much prefer to work with Tom than Melodie.

    Also agree I liked Jim at the start but there is a nasty side to him that has started to show...

    I wouldn't call Jim nasty. It's like Nick always says, he tries to cover his arse constantly be making everyone agree with him. I actually think he's quite clever in that respect, he knows what the programme is about and he's playing the game. LS HATES him, but I think (and hope!) he gets to interviews. Margaret will sort him out.

    Really liking this years show as ever and I'm really looking forward to this week's biscuit making challenge :D

    I actually had a dream about this where I designed triangular chunky biscuits (good for dunking :p ) and named them 'Tea-riffic Triangles'

    I thought it was a great idea! Anyone wanna provide capital for me to start launching 'Tea-riffic Triangles' ?

    I like Tom and I think he makes incredible sense a lot of the time. But the thought of him in the interviews makes me cringe. Surely he would get mauled!?

    Idea swiped :pac:
    Got a problem? Sue me

    I think everyone has done PM by now so I'm not sure who'll be up next week

    Melody will get mauled in the interviews. Don't you know she trained with Al Gore, Demond Tutu and the monk from Tibet, forgotten the name

    Not just any old monk but the Dalai Lama himself!

    Lord Siúcra seemed particularly impressed that she ran a charity for profit. :pac:
