The team leader (I've forgotten her name already) did delegate the finances and we were shown a clip of her doing so. I'm sure we've had this kind of problem before: someone is accused of not doing something they did do, but perhaps can't remember doing it when they come before Sir Alan? But she and the other one whose name I've also forgotten (I'd be the first to go!) made a huge cock up over the price of the fragrances so one of them had to go!
Ben does come across as a nasty piece of work and I can't see that will do his future career much good. I mean, simply getting into the Apprentice is something worth putting on your CV, especially if you get to the final six, but would any employer want to take on someone like Ben and risk getting shafted?

Do you suspect he's going for a media career rather than the job?

He sacked the wrong person. That Ben should have gone, for his lack of integrity. The other two fkd up. They admitted it. He tried to shift the blame, he made horrible accusations about other people . . . . I HATE BEN. She did not deserve to be fired tonight. They so should have sacked Ben for having that frigging awful stupid beardy thing going on under his chin. He deserves a bloody good hiding for that alone. And those beady little eyes, darting every which way. Oooooo, he's top of my list to be sacked next week. It looks like you're not the only one, I found this:

Yes, the Pantsman idea was naff. Butwas it really any owrse than some of the silly things we see in adverts?
The latest Fairy commercial, where a child tries to stuff his scooter in teh dishwasher, is pretty dire. Almost the worst thing about it is the way his mother stands with a benign smile on her face instead of giving him what we would have got - a good hiding.
...bah!! humbug.

The one I hate is the wee boy announcing he wants to go and do a poo at his mate's house (because the mate has some air freshener or fancy toilet paper or something.) It makes me cringe. Whoever thought that was a good idea? Little boys and their poos are not really what I want to think about during an advertising break. Whatever happened to taste and decency?

Yes! I hate that one. I hate the boy. His voice. The mother. I hate it all. Hate it very very much.

Pantsman was beyond naff. It was offputting. Who wants to contemplate oversized y-fronts at breakfast?
I don't know why they were all so tough on that woman who said it was naff. She was right.

I'm glad the big bad cream puff went. "I bring honesty and integrity to the table, I don't lie, cheat or backstab. I am not the stereotypical New Yorker and it's a stereotype I've faced."... that seems true but my god the psych babble!

Looking back on it, I think rocky should have stayed.

I hate that Merkan faux-pscychoanalysis in business shite that she came out with. I work with some women who do this kind of thing; it irritates me.

I dunno, maybe I'm repressed or something, but once we were toilet-trained we never again discussed our bowel movements with our mother (me and my bro and sis) as there was never any need. Is this discussing the bowels a middle class English thing?

I don't think so. I think it must be aboy thing. I have encountered little boys who like to talk about these things but if you smack them it shuts them up.

There is a very smacky theme going with you today, young madam. By the way, what is your fairy trying to pick off her foot? Did she tread on something?

I am reaching to remove my shoe. I am removing it by the 2 inch heel. Then I plan to take aim and throw it. Duck!

Humph! Merely pointing out that the whole concept of that advert was flawed and the agency should be shot! (I've only heard it - haven't watched it but I bet it's another one of those badly dubbed versions that they can stick any language on.)

"Nicole?" "Papa!"
You see, no dubbing needed.
