I think who she brought back was more tactical than sexist tbh, she brought back the two lame ducks to give herself more a chance of staying Edited February 18, 2022 by Bert Raccoon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) Some of these guys have got to be actors right? Akeem taking the PM role multiple times, saying he’ll make big decisions and has all these ideas and just gets walked over every time. The girl that got put out having a vandetta against Akshay for weeks and surely no one is actually as awkward as Nick IRL?

Bert Raccoon Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Genuinely do not see a winner out of any of these mugs, I'll be amazed if it's not a female unless one of the gormless men have a fucking amazing business idea. I really hope Nicholas gets to the interview stage, could be TV gold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertlegend Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Watched your fired and Sophie seemed as much of a crabbit cow on that as she did on the actual programme. I really think she believed she wasnt at fault for that task. She just kept saying it should be an experience but didn't want party or tacky then proceeded to make it party and tacky! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 I’m almost convinced Kathryn is winning, or Stephanie. I reckon they’ll have the most coherent/credible business plans. Aaron looks like the only boy who has a chance. Akshay is surviving by the skin of his teeth (though he’s been unfairly dragged back into the boardroom a couple of times now) but I think his business plan will be full of shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Aye I think Aaron Or Kathryn are winning. Aaron seems fairly switched on and seems to be able to point out issues or errors when talking to the other part of the team on the phone. Kathryn just seems to do better and contribute more than most every week. Which isn't hard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Really? I think Aaron is a snake going about his business quietly. I don't think he's done anything spectacular yet and is another one than is quick to criticise then goes quiet in the boardroom. I don't dislike him but I don't think he'll make the final two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's going the right way about it. Not making any major fuck ups so he doesn't get taken back into the boardroom for a firing, even when he's on the losing team. He does look weird as fuck though. He's got a childs face and he's about 6'2 and 15 stone . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoonsYouthTeam Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 No surprise Nick and Akshay were unapologetically disastrous in the kitchen together. I'd have loved an hour just watching them bumbling about the kitchen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoonsYouthTeam Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Think Stephanie could have gone based on the task but not having had a disaster before saved her. I'd have been raging if that was the tour we were given if we got to go to Silverstone.Firmly rooting for Akshay now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I’m watching it on catch up but I’m just sick of this format. It’s stupid, it’s created for them to fail. If you were running a corporate away day, would the people showing you round have no experience in what they are doing? Of course not. Would the people cooking your meals not even be real caterers? Of course not. The negotiations are stupid, the people selling the tours etc know they can’t say no. The whole thing is pointless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Akshay must have the mother of all business plans Sugar’s that desperate not to fire him. Him and Nick were a disaster in the kitchen but they were right - the task was lost before they even got to that stage with Stephanie’s poor negotiation on ticket sales and the dreadful museum tour. Nick would have been a good laugh in the interviews too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Also, I wouldn’t have let Sugar get away with calling me a ‘Grand Prix (p***ks)’ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 When he made all 4 come back into the boardroom for the firing, I thought we were going to see the fairly rare double-firing. Agree about Ashkay, Sugar must really like his proposal. This really is a 12 week long Dragon's Den now isn't it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Have to echo the thoughts on judging someone's entrepreneurial skills on whether they can cook or not is pointless. Like Akshay pointed out, even without refunds they'd still have lost, they lost because of the shite negotiating not the fact they didn't have plates out in time. Gutted Nicholas is gone, him trying to bumble his way through a grilling at the interview stage wouldn't been TV gold 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I also thought the corporate client had it easy. They could go in low and know the whole thing would still happen. The shows suggests that business is mainly about haggling and nothing else. In reality, the customer will usually have a budget in mind and if you are within that budget they will be happy to go for it. Knowing what that budget is will always be good. Better still is when they tell you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
