Well IMHO Sir Alan was totally wrong last night. Claire should have been fired by a mile!!!
Why must he insist on keeping these trashy, nasty lying women in?? It was the same when Jenny should have been fired! Now Claire's going to be the project manager next week, and we're going to have to put up with her! Grr!!

Totally agree lets just hope her team make a mess of it. Can you imagine what she will be like if she wins?Well IMHO Sir Alan was totally wrong last night. Claire should have been fired by a mile!!!

If these are supposed to be the top sixteen, I'd hate to think how bad the other 20,000 applicants must have been.
A little drinks party in a brewery springs to mind.
Simon seemed a nice guy, and he was a grafter, but his ability to manage his team was woefully lacking.

Apparently the BBC (or the producers) have an influence over who is fired and of course they'll want to keep the 'characters' in the game. People who are confrontational, or who encourage some kind of reaction from the audience, are the ones that keep people tuning in. Remember, this isn't real life, it's an entertainment show.

Disagree. Some large personalities have already been fired.
This time, as usually happens, the mice people keep their heads down, and don't appear on Sir Alan's radar, until later in the series.
That maybe the case, but it is true that the BBC have a say in who is fired and as they're in the entertainment business, it's got to be a factor in who stays and who goes.
Anybody watch it last night??? They are getting worse at the tasks they are set.
Of course, funniest night of the week, watching these nasty nutters.
Both teams were equally bad. Send a 'green' greeting card, lecturing the recipient about the disappearing rainforests...er, ok, and having a single's day (whoops, hope the comma's in the right place
) the day before Valentine's day, when card shops are already heaving.The right person was fired, although that thick, nasty cow Jessica was lucky not to be taken in to the boardroom.
What range of greeting cards would you have tried to market?
I'd have gone with a range of 'Appology' cards saying sorry. I haven't seen a generic range of cards in the shops like this, they are usually for one occasion, such as sorry you're leaving/unwell etc. Thus I think they would have a broad appeal, and could be sold all year round, not just at a particular time of year, which would hopefully appeal to the companies that were being pitched to.
You could have a range just appologising, in which you could write what you were sorry for.
Sorry I got drunk at your dinner party.
I'm sorry I crashed the car.
I'm so sorry you are rubbish, and I had to fire you.

The Sorry card is a good idea, as you say the market is saturated with cards. But the whole concept of a "Save Our Planet Week" was beyond my comprehension. In fact they both were because as Sir Alan said who is going to send a single's card?? Please note my apotrophe is in the right place(just rang the Daily Telegraph to check)
I actually think the singles day could have worked, but at a more 'dead' time of year in the card industry ie Summer Months.
Along with Rindi's Sorry cards, could go Thank You ones as well, but again with a more generic range. we all get flowers or chocolates to thank someone for doing something, but the card range could be increased (thank you for being my mum/son/father/daughter, Thank you for being a friend etc etc etc)

I think I've already seen large ranges of 'thanks' cards in the shops.
Still not convinced about having a single's day to sell cards. There's nothing stopping singles sending Valentine's cards, after all you are supposed to send them anonymously, and their original intention was to send a message of love for those it had so far alluded.
Still, you're the project leader so it's your decission... I'll just slag you off in the boardroom if we don't win.
I honestly don't know what sort of cards i'd do.
He was right to fire Kevin, i mean i was literally cringing when he was pitching to Clintons. It was so bad!! I think they were a bit mean to Sara at the end. There was definately 3 people more responsible for loosing the task: Kevin, and the wicked witches Claire & Jenny. One of them should have stepped up to help with the pitch. They were too busy bigging themselves up and when it came to the crunch and they could see that they were in trouble they did nothing to help. But I suppose that was to let Kevin take the fall for them. And they wouldn't have had much responsibility.

Anybody watch it tonight? These are supposed to be intelligent people and they don't know what Kosher means.
It's frightening just how dim some of them are!
Anyway, a double whammy tonight, with two of my least favourite people being given the boot.
RESULT
