Wrong one went. Again.

How James survived is a mystery. His leadership was useless.

Jesus wept Anisa - that was some impressive foot shooting. She's god awful every week, too.

How on earth Joanna is still in the show baffles my mind. What a horrible, argumentative person.

The only one out of the four who shouldn't have been fired ended up being fired. It's difficult to be creative when you end up in a Norman village trying to sell a modern car. I don't see how he was to blame at all.

Easy - he was the director. Just ignore Elizabeth. Keep the chickens out of shot. Ignore the Norman buildings and use the countryside as a back drop. Don’t take twenty wanky angles of the car. The winning advert was people getting into a car and driving off with a drone shot.

He shot himself in the foot by going on about being ‘creative’ and he clearly doesn’t have an ounce of creativity in his body. If he’d shut up (and not used running a photo booth business as evidence of his creativity) he’d probably still be there.

And James and/or Elizabeth would have been canned for their abysmal performance.

Elizabeth won that task.

Someone finally showed some business acumen of sorts this season.

I saw at the end they are taking applications for the next season,lets hope the producers actually get some people who are business like and  not apprentices who are using the show to get on Love Island and Get Me Out Of Here and a centre spread in Heat magazine,this has been the most dumbed down season and it's been catered to get more viewers,not been impressed with it this year.

I've normally got a strong stomach but that episode, for people who don't think that dogs are god's gift to man kind and that animal excrement is funny, was revolting. That woman who had about a dozen dogs in her house was something else.

Good challenge in terms of lots of different money making opportunities and gave plenty of chances for different aspects of business acumen to shine through form the contestants. It was a good idea from Sarah to try and get more money from the country estate [that woman who was the manager (?) seemed to be enjoying her cameo appearance on the Beeb a bit too much] and a good idea to ask for a high wedge for photographs - as a photographer myself, that woman was asking for an awful lot for not much money, so obviously played on the fact they weren't professional photographers.

All 3 who were fired were all deserving of it, really. Next week looks like a good episode!

Absolute horror show from both teams last night in what has to have been one of the easiest tasks there's ever been.

Yep, was horrendous, but the winning team salvaged things with a really good presentation. If anything their product was worse, both in terms of what it was and it’s branding.

Sarah seems to be the only competent one left. Also the only female who stays out of the bitching.
And if the rain stops, and everything's dry.. she would cry, just so I could drink tears from her eyes.

How was the chicken curry "healthy"?

I said to the wife, if they'd dropped the yoghurt, used cauliflower rice etc it would have instantly been a better product and probably appealed to more people. A re-boxed chicken curry wouldn't excite you - it's not even hard to make. And aren't there sauces around where you cook the chicken and add to the sauce?

I don't think there has been one standout contestant this year, and I can't remember a task that hasn't been a complete failure from either side.

Sarah’s team should have walked that but that presentation was one of the crunchiest things I’ve seen! What was that Trump joke all about? And the weird one burning the food. And talking through it step by step. All very odd. At least in the other team they had the sense to let Michaela cook and let the others do the talking.

Didn’t that Crusaders issue come up last year too or have I imagined bat? That was an error from Sarah but I agree she does at least come across more competent and professional than the rest.

Yeah was waiting for someone to call them out on that and ask why it was healthy but no one seemed to. Harrison doesn’t seem the sharpest.

Think Claude loves the control freak one (keep forgetting her name). Will she end up going far?

I was wondering exactly what was particularly healthy about it - onions, chicken and flavouring? It's probably less healthy than ones I make because there's less veg e.g. peppers in it. I guess takeaway curries have a lot of oil in so they will have cut back on that, but other than that, nonsense really.

Yeah me and the wife commented on the Crusaders thing as soon as they mentioned the name. Knew they'd get criticised for it. Think last year the similar issue was when a team used the term colonial (IIRC)?

I liked how after Sugar whinged at James for letting Elizabeth talk him into letting her do what she wanted and not manning up,  he basically did the same and just gave in and let her stay as she kept talking at him.

Not to go off topic too much, but aren't pink gins naturally coloured and that last year they just added colour, which was the big no no?

Anyway, Bushra was awful last night and tried to bullshit her way out of being useless. Which is what happens every week in this show, but by now it's the ones who know how to bullshit well who are still there. James just seems a bit young and obviously has only worked with like-minded people - he didn't have a clue how to handle Big Liz. Sarah seems competent but how on earth did she think Crusaders would be a decent name? Their pitch was the most toe-curling thing I've ever seen on The Apprentice, by a long way. But that did seem down to Bushra and Liz rather than Sarah.

Harrison lead a great pitch I've got to say, but was an absolute wet fish against Peter Kay, who was awful yet had the cojones to have a go at blondie and resting-bitch-face for arguing. Thought she was good but I've just realised she's just bossy and decisive. Resting-bitch-face must be horrible to work with - she's argued with everyone who's been on a task with her.

Next week will be even worse and I for one cannot wait!

You can have healthy curries, and I think it was a great idea but once Peter Kay got her grubby mitts involved it just became a bog standard curry.
