Watched this tonight and agree, it's brilliant :)

Have to admit that I wanted to slap some of the girls team though and I think the right person went in the end. I know nothing and even I could see her idea was rubbish! But because it was her idea she pushed it through, despite there being no faith in it from the rest of her team. Very poor showing I thought.

The boy's team are way more slick, they even look better, smart and confident and their product was good.

Roll on next week!

I watched this tonight and enjoyed it.

I agree Voicey, that the right person went tonight.
I'm not in sales or anything like that, but her idea was rubbish. The other team members knew that, the kids told her that, but still she went with her idea.
My hubby told me that's how his management work at the factory he works at:laugh:

The lads all looked cool, calm and collected, even when they were in the office at the decision point of who had won.
But the girls all looked stressed out, you could read the emotions on their faces.

Loved the look on Sugar's face just after he'd said "Your sacked" and the girls walked out.....:mad2:

That bloomin Semaphore! It had us falling off our seats. Even daft old me knows that today’s sophisticated 21st century kids are not intested in that kind of guff; as the toy manufacturer so rightly said it would perhaps have taken off in the 1960s. Yet she wouldn’t let it go would she, it was also great that she said beforehand she thought she had a good chance of winning the whole game – talk about make a fool of yerself on the telly luv.

I don’t like that old sourpuss, Miriam is it – the one with the thick makeup and dyed red streaks. She is a right disagreeable one and was really sucking up to Alan Sugar yesterday.

This is a great series and its going to be really interesting next week with the boys join teams with the girls.

I'm really enjoying this. Tactics, back stabbing and money - what a great combination!

Oh it was soo obvious that the semasphore thing was going nowhere. The leader of the girls team - what was she playing at....
....well lets have a democratic vote (cos the first one didn't go my way) to see which toy we go with. Hmm, my choice still didn't win - I know! I'll just tell the others that we are going with my idea!
WTH was the point of the vote???! - stupid mare.

Ya see, boys are soo much more rational. :devil:

What a stupid mare that Lyndsay was.......

semaphore???????

WTF????????

and you would think that the market research, the toy firms advice and her own TEAMS voting would have given her a bit of a clue that it was a pile of PANTS!!!!!! Jeeeeeeeeeze, the girl has skin as thick as a rhino and made herself look a right muppet.......:laugh: :devil: The girls arent doing too well are they :unsure:

Im still not sure about Saira, but I think that her, Miranda (the blonde hard faced moody one), and Adele (the sulky one with the pink hair and dodgy suits) are the ones that will be left out of the girls.....I havent really "noticed" the others as they have been a bit quieter!

As for the boys, as long as the awful, dreadful, arrogant Matthew goes soon I dont care too much, I have only really noticed Timothy, Raj and Paul the blagger so far......

Im sure it will liven up quite a bit when the teams merge - some right power trips battling it out :devil:

...and really enjoyed it. Sure the girls screwed up, but I wondered if that Lindsay woman might hve tried a better tack to save her skin. The blokes' product was not anything exceptional IMO - just a minor tweak on games ideas already in the market. Lindsay's semaphore was more innovative IMO, and although the product they presented crashed and burned I think that the concept could be turned into something marketable. So I think Lindsay scored well for innovation, boldness and determination IMO.

On the other hand she managed her team badly. By splitting the team she ended up with two groups on different wavelengths to each other. She didn't listen to feedback and was obsessed with pushing her own idea through. By running two products right to the last moment she reduced the effectiveness of their efforts.

I don't think the other girls came out too well either. There was maybe a bit too much politeness and pussyfooting. I wasn't too convinced about how the focus group research was handled. Show kids the fighting robots and the semaphore cards side by side and of course they'll go for the robots. They'd be in different price bands though, and different opportunities for use (taking my kids as an example, they'll spend ages playing with Top Trumps - in the car, at home, on the train, etc - but complicated electronic toys sooner or later break, or the batteries run out, and they get fewer hours of playing time in the end.)

My God, even when she lost the game she stays with her "game".
