Yup, she's still in.Mr Blonde said:
She got taken into the boardroom this time though, but she fought her corner and was allowed to stay. I think she's pretty good, far better than some of the others

Ahh right, thanks.
My GF asked her if Alan Sugar was any different in real life...
and the answer was a resounding no. I'd be thrown out the forums if I actually quoted what she said about him!
Me too, providing the rationale for choosing who to fire is sheer performance.Beansprout said:
My view is that it's dead simple this week. The girls failed because they didn't get the tyre and therefore got fined. The reason they didn't get the tyre was because they ran out of time, and the reason they ran out of time was because they spent some two and a half hours (or more) having a damn strategy meeting.
And THAT can be laid squarely at the feet of the project manager.
I'm astonished AMS didn't choose on that basis. After all, he said it in the boardroom .... with a ten hour project timetable, you don't spend 2:40 drawing flipcharts. Maybe ten minutes, but then you identify suppliers, determine locations, plan the route, allocate the tasks and get on the flippin' road, for pities sake.
I think you're right - he fired Karen because he "doesn't need another corporate lawyer".

as to syiad with his A-team comments i just found that ridiculously hillarious. Obviously the edititing had something to do with it but bloody hell it was amusing. The egos on some of these people is just insane. Theres that other bloke on the boys team as well who was doing the sales pitch on the calender one ( forget his name and missed tonight ) but when ever syiad said something he was so defensive and came out with the classic "what the **** is your problem" card.
I never watched the first series of the UK one. i got the feeling it was a bit tacky. Tho i loved the Yankie ville one ;D. Tho im quite interested in this one , dont know why

Seems like the Only reason Karen was booted off was becouse SAS is looking for a negiotiator / buyer, all three tasks have revolved around this objective.
Jo, OMG, she's crazy, should have a lecture called "How not to run and organise a team" and just show a video of Jo from last nights show.
First thing she does when she decides she's going to lead the team, is have a go a Ruth (who earnt credit with me for defending herself and just getting on with the Job), for the Calendar farce, then she just aimed a broadside at all the girls threatening all that she will be watching them and on there backs, promtply followed by everyone ignoring her, and Jo loosing control of the team.
Karen i thought would be one of the last few, she doesn't seem to upset that many people and seems to talk sense most of the time, just she doesn't seem to fit the job that SAS is offering. Ruth, showed she could lead a team well, not sure if this is good as she was not meant to be the PM and don't know how well she will work in a team rather than running it.
What was the quiet girls name again? the one who wanted to draw brain storm session and was in the board room but talked herself into staying? I don't seem to think she will do that well, as she's a little to soft.
The blokes, didn't really see much of them, as the coverage seemed to be almost all on the girls. Half the bokes team, the one with Ansil in, didn't really seem to be on screen atall.
Jo needs medicating.

Clearcut said:
The first thing they were asked to do in week one was split into two teams, boys and girls, and decide on a name for the team and also a team leader.
Syed came out with The A-Team right from the start, and just kept going on about how THe A-Team would be a great name, becouse it drew images of a team that did everything (he drew direct comparrions to the TV show). When he made the suggestion, you could see everyone round the table trying hard not to laugh and shoot him down.
He kept on and on so much about it the meeting lasted hours. In the end someone finally had the sense to tell him that infact it was stupid and childish, he then seemed to sulk.
/slap Syed, "I pitty the FOOOOL"
