Fundamentally, I think Siara should whoosh down an everending waterslide into oblivion. And fundamentally, Paul should have followed.

And fundamentally Racheal should not have produced that fundamentally stoopid mood board however, she should not have gone - but the whole scenario was fundamental to someone going!!!

Fundamentally - tonights episode so riled me.:ranting:
They are all IMO pretty pants.

But you know what I love Sir Alan Sugar!!

lol Flip! i was just saying to my son that the fundamental mistake was to say fundamentally 20 times per second, that was their fundamental error in my fundamental opinion!

What on earth was Rachel's cutting and pasting exercise all about? How amatuerish was that! I'd expect my son's class at school to come up with something better!

Mind you I blamed Paul for them losing cos fundamentally he is a git! and he had no direction and no leadership skills but for some reason Alan likes him!

And how I laughed when Paul said "I'm a Roman Catholic" ha! ha! wtf was that all about!!!!

The effervescent lightweights are popping up to the surface now, aren't they? Paul and Siara must be wondering if it's worth unpacking. None of us enjoy having our weaknesses exposed in public, but it's always harder for BSers - and that pair seem to find cold truth particularly uncomfortable.

I think what got Rachel binned tonight was her inclusion of "advertising experience" on her CV. Had she not gilded that lilly, The Man might have been less inclined to punish her woeful attempt at a storyboard.

I'm still loving this programme. :thumbsup:

Does anyone know what the viewing figures are like for this programme? And whether another series is planned? i think it is the most compelling thing on tv at the moment.


In our small office we've just discovered that four of us are avid followers which for our diverse and small office is a high following to watch the same programme.

Mind you if they had too many series Sir Alan could end up with half a dozen assistants who (judging by this lot) are crap!!

Although I have to say that Ben (who wasn't featured much last night) is my favourite and the tall miserable looking girl is my second favourite. I've also grown accustomed to James' face (if that's the one who always has a beaming smile!) didn't like him at first cos i thought he was a smarmy fake but now see that he is a smarmy genuine article!

I coudn't belive my own eyes when I sow Rachel show. My God!
Saira goes on my systeem. En Pol shoud be a comedian.

Mind you I blamed Paul for them losing cos fundamentally he is a git! and he had no direction and no leadership skills but for some reason Alan likes him!

And how I laughed when Paul said "I'm a Roman Catholic" ha! ha! wtf was that all about!!!!

Oh Dol, I did chuckle when he said that - God is my witness - its my experience that those that make such a big deal about God being their witness and swearing on Grandma's life to confirm what they are telling you as the truth, are usually LYING through their teeth :glare:

I think Paul should have gone last night.....

and him and Saira are made from the same mould, they are both full of CACK, but their BS wont get past Sir Alan....Paul has already shown he is an arrogant slimey chauvanist with little or no leadership skills......their commercial was CACK and so was the Advert that no-one could be arsed to supervise - serves em right!

Ohhhh im loving this programme!

and him and Saira are made from the same mould, they are both full of CACK, but their BS wont get past Sir Alan!

I would have thought the same thing Queenie but did you hear Sir Alan, last night say at one point to Saira - you talk a good talk!!!

I htought I had gone temporarily mad!! She can't string a cohesive and intelligent sentance together to save her life!!!

And when Paul made that statement about being a Roman Catholic therefore what he said must be true, I loved Sir Alan's retort - I'm a Jew and I don't give a toss - lol.

You're all fundamentally right about Paul and Saira - both tosspots of the highest order. The other word Saira scattered throughout every other conversation was 'professional' as in 'I'm a professional and I would' or 'I'm a professional and I wouldn't'. If she was teaching someone to wipe their bum, she'd start with 'I'm a professional...'

I did feel a little sorry for Impact, or is it First Forte, I can never remember which way round it is, I'll call them the crap team for now. As soon as they were given their assignment I knew they were onto a loser. The good team work as a coherent unit, quickly establish what's important and get on with it. The crap team spend hours arguing over who will do what then rush about like blue arsed flies. They have a half-baked idea that no one's agreed upon and is frequently a compromise that leaves no one satisfied.

How cringeworthy was Rachael's bare foot dancing at the 'informal' presentation. You could see that Paul wanted to curl up and die. And that collage she produced defies description. The campaign was a disaster. It doesn't take Brain of Britain to realise that products are marketed using one simple but strong theme. The crap team produced a mish mash of themes and then compounded the issue by producing each one very badly.

However, I was still surprised that Rachael got the boot. I thought Paul and Saira were far more worthy of getting the heave ho.

I really liked Paul up until his team failed, which by coincidence was the first time his team leader was a woman! Slimey git. Him and Saira have to stay, if only to get on each other's nerves. What was all that crying about Sai? Can't believe it's grief over losing Rachel. More like, SAS has vocalised what we are all thinking - you and Paul are peas in a pod and you don't like it up ya!

Your first paragraph surely answers the second Noxy! The barefoot dancing by the ungainly and frumpy Rachel was obviously a big reason why she got the boot!

Also why were they so focussed on the room layout and being "comfortable" they badgered the team of advertisers regarding "are you comfortable", "do you like the room" ... wtf has that got to do with advertising a cheap cd player?

As Saira's crying at the end ... I think that was cos Sir Alan had criticised her poster - which quite frankly year 3 kids could have done better. boo hoo Saira - you dozy mare! The only decent woman there is the grubby looking one whose name i can't even remember.

Yeah, the hotel manager, what is her name? Did you notice that they spent so much time highlighting how badly the others were doing, that we don't really know how good she was at being team leader.

Can't see a clear winner yet. I think Paul and Saira will pee everyone off so much that they'll go quite soon, unfortunately. They're good value, however annoying.

I think it might be between Ben and Tim. James is ok, but I don't think SAS would appreciate his schmooziness.

Have you all forgotten the flower selling challenge??????

Paul and that laydie dawg were by miles the best two at hard selling in the face of adversity. Both the Boys team and the Girls team would have sold bu@@er all had it not been for those two.

As an Ad team they sucked. They others were slick and came up with a campaign that would work. They came up with poo !!!

I think Alan actually enjoys haveing those two in the board room session as they answer back and come up with ****** which makes him quietly smile inside at thier naiveity.
