    Don't really get the fuss about Andrews antics, yes he was a bit laddish but I definitely saw the tour group smiling a bit and it was much preferable to Elizabeth's headmistress shtick.

    Charles was poor. Sarah Jane was anonymous for 5 weeks and when given the shot to do something as PM she was fairly unadventurous with buying only 50 key-rings. That lost them the task not the tour. Even after the refunds they had more money taken than the Elizabeths team.

    Quite noticeable how little anybody has excelled so far, blondie seemed like a good seller outside the stadium and thats about it really.

    Sarah has been astute too, coming up with the idea to ask for commission with the chocolate shop. Elizabeth didn’t leave enough time for it to pay off but it was a good idea. Whoever came up with the souvenir-selling strategy for that team also done good. It won that team the task. And Elizabeth, for all her faults, allowed these things to happen on her watch. I’m sure other PMs would have shot those ideas down.

    As for Andrew, laughing AT him, not WITH him, I should think. I can’t say I’d prefer his approach to over Elizabeth’s, both were terrible in their own special ways.

    I think Charles should have been fired for perpetuating the stereotype that us males would walk for hours denying that they are lost rather than stop and ask for directions ;)

    Has anyone noticed it's dark in the morning when they answer the phone that the cars will be there in thirty minutes.. .but it's broad daylight outside when they leave.

    ... perhaps because the sun had risen by the time they leave the house? :pac:

    Well that was bizarre. Of that final four Sajan was the only one I *wouldn't* have fired. With so many left it was the perfect opportunity to get rid of some deadwood.

    James was a no-brainer to me, he absolutely should have gone. Joanna should've went as well, not sure what she's contributed over the last seven tasks. I know Elizabeth is mental but she has at times been decent so I think there's possibly a method to the madness.

    The shock and disappointment on everyone's face when Joanna got back to the house :D

    When he brought back 4 I was sure it was triple elimination time.

    The only one of the 4 with any sort of hope of making interviews based on performance is Elizabeth. It was set up perfectly for a culling.

    How did they not know what medieval meant though, and that they were going back in time? That was just really stupid.

    Michaela seems to be the clear frontrunner so far, she'll be there till the end. Difficult to see who else has really stood out... we haven't seen too much of Jade but she seems to be simmering away nicely in the background. Perhaps she'll start coming to the fore soon?

    I've a feeling about Harrison. Very hard-working and a bit rough around the edges like Joseph a couple of years ago and the type Sugar tends to have a liking for. Claude fairly praised him on you're fired last week

    Think him and michaela are complete certainties for interviews, think one of Charles, Andrew, and Elizabeth will get there also, and then Jade and Sarah

    I don’t think she is, she’s made a lot of mistakes. The standout for me is Sarah.

    I presume when they asked how the digital signage and the tv advert tied in together and Elizabeth said something like "Bushra will answer this one"

    This week I got the feeling that Michaela is not as interested in being there as she has been up to now, she seemed a bit more subdued than normal.

    I was 100% expecting more than one person to be fired, I'm shocked that Joanna survived that. To me she seems to be the opposite of a team player. She basically says "This is my idea, this is what we are doing" and will listen to nobody after that.

    I agree re: Joanna. Her go-to phrase is "I'm not being argumentative". If you have to say that as often as she does you might want to look inwards and see why people keep accusing you of being argumentative...

    I imagine it will be between Michaela, Sarah and Jade for the final two. I think everyone else is there as filler for the time being.

    I was convinced Elizabeth would be part of the double firing alongside Joanna, I thought her bull in the china shop attitude would have been too extreme for Alan

    Sarah stands out a mile as being the most competent.
    Michaela and Jade aren't great but are possibly the best of the rest.
    Bushra is probably the next in line but she's not very impressive.
    Charles and Joanna seem to be too argumentative with the others, so neither would make a good business partner.
    Anisa and James don't seem to offer anything.
    Andrew, Elizabeth, Harrison, seem to be there just for the comedy/drama value for the ratings.

    Bushra for me is on borrowed time at this stage. She's been utterly unspectacular and loves to pass the buck.
