Who was it who said don't sell fish to sharks? Rufus Hound on the BBC2 You're Fired show?
Correct. A very funny quote!

Raef is the best because he wasn't looking for people to scapegoat or blame. Nicolas deserved to go but the team leader did seem to be looking for scapegoats from the off. He also gave his mates the jobs with no risk.
Wikipedia said:In Ian Fleming's James Bond series, the British spy remarked that the Windsor knot was "the mark of a cad."
Yeah. Funny guy.Correct. A very funny quote!
I don't like/trust him but not because of his tie.I wouldn't trust Raef, just needed to see his tie. Never trust a bloke with a Full Windsor, and i'm not alone in my beliefs,
Spot on. They'd only just met, how can they be "mates"?Not sure how alex gave his mates the jobs when they had only met a few hours before, couldn't really see how people are to become that close that quickly. It seemed like a class divide had been created straight from the go, as when they all left SAS's office and piled into the cars Raef, Nicolas, Michael and Simon all got in one, Alex the PM was in the other and was probably talking and making decisions based on feedback he was getting from his cars occupants.
Again spot on. If Raef wants to make it to the end, not offering to lead the team could count against him at some point.Raef striaght away showed his calibre when he was asked by the team to be PM and he refused, came up with the normal I'm willing to lead but not at the moment. His cards were marked from that moment. Stepping up to the plate is what saved Alex.
His being insulted at not being named as a hard worker or whatever on the first task I just found silly and immature.Micheal seems to have a 'cant be arsed' attitude to the tasks, I think he could be very funny in future episodes.
True. But its better than Big Brother.And of course, this is not a true business program, its like the Big Brother of Business as peopl have said.
Yeah. Funny guy. :

I see what you say but there were others who weren't even asked so they didn't have problems in turning it down. Raef however was given the opportunity and backed down. Perhaps in the interview stage near the end someone will ask why he turned the opportunity down, if he's such a good leader. He'll need a good excuse to get away with it.I think its all about timing things, you dont want to put yourself forward/be too vocal/active too early as in the first few tasks there are so many people, that often the manager is the one to take the buck for collective failings. Especially since as long as people dont make a massive cockup in the first task they can usually scrape through, given that SAS has no prior performances to go on. However once the field starts thinning down, the good candidates need to make a push to come forward.
Wont waste an hour watching this every week, but looking forward to the inevitable ******* on TV Burp.
Star out swearing completely - don't try and be clever. FF.
Totally agree.******* hell that project manager is a total bitch!
Can't believe Alan didn't see through it all. It was totally obvious that neither of the two people either side of her had done anything substantially wrong.
The asian girl put a ordering system in place and yet it backfired on her because she offered (and got agreement from the PM) that she should go home to get more irons.
The pretty girl was getting bullied by the PM throughout. Ever since the very start she basically said "I'm not interested in your views, please tell them to this person standing next to me."
PM should have been fired.
