Think it's harsh to call him sexist for putting the women in the kitchen. The natural thing given the teams the day before would have been to have Pamela and Thomas, but Thomas needed to be front of house given his character. It was then a 50/50 choice of swapping him for Marianne or Lewis.

Trying to bring Pamela back to the boardroom was ridiculous though and I'd agree was based on gender first and foremost. Although Pamela herself was guilty of the worst bit of sexism in the series so far.

Yes I agree with that statement, both he and Pamela have been guilty on that score. I don't think either team covered themselves in glory and I thought for a moment Sugar was actually going to give Thomas the push.

I will miss Jemalin - So beautiful

Ryan-Mark on You're fired was fucking bizarre, playing up to his camp character so much, looking directly into the camera like he was auditioning him, prick

I hate Lottie so much by this stage, I'm praying she gets to the interviews, gets torn to shreds and leaves in tears.

Thomas solidifying his man of the people status. What a bro.

Is there anything Lottie the Librarian can't do? A Wine Connoisseur, A Silver Service Waitress, Also in the music industry for 15 years (not bad considering she's only 19) , Has there ever been such a modest multi talented candidate before? Cant wait to see the CV interview for her (if she makes it that far)

Graeme · « **Reply #165 on:** November 28, 2019, 11:31:35 am »

She’ll get torn apart in the interviews

Laughed my head off when she said she had 15 years experience in the music industry cos she had viola lessons when she was 4.

CraigDS · « **Reply #167 on:** November 28, 2019, 11:48:15 am »

The bit that got me was when she was trying to play something down (forgot what it was now) by saying 'I don't want to say it because it would appear boasting...but'

tubby · « **Reply #168 on:** November 28, 2019, 01:15:41 pm »

Sugar looked devastated to let Thomas go but he really didn't have a choice.

RIP Thomas, you were too pure for this world. All you wanted was to make people comfy with your pillows.

Scarlet and Karina the best performing candidates probably but obviously will all come down to which 2 have the best business plan. Lottie probably quite an intelligent person but absolutely no people skills and probably alienates people all the time

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #171 on:** November 28, 2019, 02:57:56 pm »

When Lottie in the boardroom said "I had pushy parents" I began to feel for her. Her secret love for Kendrick Lamar and the way she was dancing to the music makes me think she doesn't actually want to be a terrible person.

RJH · « **Reply #172 on:** November 28, 2019, 09:29:21 pm »

I think that was one of the worst tasks they had on the show.
I know that having a task where both teams can easily do well wouldn't be entertaining, but the teams didn't stand a chance with that one.

If the artists they showed were the only options, there was no way the corporate clients were ever going to spend big on any of them, because the songs didn't fit the brief at all.

DHKopper · « **Reply #173 on:** November 28, 2019, 09:33:36 pm »

It's bollocks these day. You could be shit, but if your plan is good, you're going through and vice-versa. The old format was far superior.

"Here's 3 artists for you to audition and negotiate with before you've even got the brief from client. Oh and BTW 2 of the artists have music that the client definitely won't want and the third is pushing it. But, we'll judge you on your music mixing skills in this business show . Good luck"

Thought it was a bit like that Finland task when they only had the choice of about 4 filming locations, all generic places but both teams criticised for it not being specific to finland

I got round to watching Wednesday episode last night. I am sick of Lottie sticking her nose in and speaking over the Dean when in the recording studio.

Your right! what hasn't she done even in the bike episode she wanted to be put up to lead the team because her partner and family all own bikes

so cringe when that band were singing her song and she would be waving her hands over it and singing the ending

hope she goes next week .

I was disappointed in Tommy I liked him but 8 loses in 9 weeks is bad just had bad luck. He wasn't waiting around when got fired right out the door with the case thought he was going to cry I liked the big man.

Lottie has to stay until the interview round. She will get absolutely ripped apart by Claude and the others.

To be fair, he's so fucking wet it's unreal. He'd have no chance managing a big team of people without them over powering him.

Who was that brunette singer at the start? For um, research purposes.

Yeah totally. I struggle to see a leader within this years cast. I would maybe say Lewis at a push but the meeting with Umbro was crazy and he was lucky he wasn't punted for that. Like Tommy said if he got the deal over the line for 14k they would of won the task.

Ciara (with a capital "C") · « **Reply #180 on:** November 29, 2019, 11:45:31 am »

Realistically, could Thomas have ever won the show and gone into business with Sugar given his past? Was he only on it for the entertainment part? And not it has got down to the stage of discussing business plans and stuff, he needs to take the others more seriously?

I don't necessarily think Thomas is anything special, but he was a nice character and I don't think he deserved to go this week.

Came in to post the exact. They were on a hiding to nothing right from the start. Absolutely pointless task.

Think Scarlett is doing well to keep fairly neutral in everything, it's coming to a point though where she will need to do something to fulfil her potential.

I like the trade show type tasks they do, think you get to see a lot in those ones and not just sales. Some people really put some graft in on those tasks.

Yeah it was absolutely awful and he was lucky not to go for that.

tubby · « **Reply #184 on:** December 5, 2019, 10:26:00 am »

That packaging was horrendous, even though he doesn't buy perfume he must've seen packaging for it at some point in his life. It looked like a box for an air freshener.

Dean was a bellend though, glad he's gone. Looking forward to Lottie in the interviews.

killer-heels · « **Reply #185 on:** December 5, 2019, 09:58:16 pm »

God that bottle was atrocious.

Also why were the team leaders not on the marketing teams and why did they only send one person? It was the more important thing.

Lottie needs her head kicking in.

Both tasks were equally important really, as if it smelt like shite then no packaging would save it. So they were always going to be in the wrong for having to send someone one their own.

The smell surely would have been one of the easiest things to get right? All the business element was in the packaging and marketing thing which surely as a prospective business person gets you more attention from Sugar?

Guz-kop · « **Reply #189 on:** December 7, 2019, 10:18:32 am »

I agree... Surely most people can pick up on a fragrance that smells like shit? You can also excuse, to some extent, poor product manufacturing in a show like this. Marketing side huge and single responsibility for that is tough. Am sure it was deliberately done though to stitch up the team leaders knowing neither would want to leave Lottie or Dean on their own

CraigDS · « **Reply #190 on:** December 7, 2019, 12:23:14 pm »

You say it would be easy, but we’ve seen this lot fuck up plenty of shit which is meant to be easy
