Best Line last night was from Tre when they were given the trip to Champeys. Not sure if he meant it or not, but, "There's nothing like a good facial" had my mate and I in stitches.

Trey does get on my nerves sometimes but last night the facial comment had me PSML :D

Then Amstrad would be worth much more than the paltry £118m is is now, and he would have had more than one successful product in the last two decades.

Amstrad is just one of many companies SAS has in the 'AMS group'. eg, Amsprop, Amsair ....
He's a very VERY successful guy, and his companies have always done well, regardless of how 'we' view the products.

Agreed, Adam actually did some positive work for the task this week he did a good job, he gets back and they all hate him.

Paul was an absolutel shammbles, and katie just loves him sooo much, arrr she should go next she winds me up, backing up paul in the board room, why he did absolutely everything wrong theres nothing to backup.

Adam may have spent £100 on a banner, Paul spent £200 on breeze block cheese of which he dumped £100 worth!! Have a word!

:mad: :p

I got the impression from tonight's episode that Katie's actions were more to do with attacking Kristina than out of love for Paul. I thought her offensive against Kristina was more than justified, and if that meant grinning and saying Paul was a good leader in the board room, so be it.

It seemed as though every other comment Kristina made was an attempt to undermine Paul's leadership. She was preparing herself for the board room right from the offset — which could have been a good tactic, I admit, had she not massively overdone it. She decided to take the catch-all approach of acting concerned about every decision Paul made in the hope that one of them would backfire and she would be able to hit Sir Alan with the "I told him so" line, but as a result she was utterly unsupportive throughout. The interchange in the back of the car on the way to the port was just her being difficult and attempting to make out that Paul was being unresponsive, yet she was making a big deal out of nothing. Making a huge public deal over the pricing of the goods, too, and complaining about being left at the stall with no French speakers when everyone else appeared to be doing fine — including Tre with his nifty "bull****ing in any language" routine. If she was a team player she would have kept it on the low-down, spoken to Paul about anything she might have been concerned about and sorted things out that way. Paul seemed to be more than a reasonable and approachable team leader.

Personally I would have preferred to see Sir Alan pick up on this blatant attempt to undermine the whole idea of the task and send Kristina packing, whilst agreeing that Paul made an admirable effort, yet a risky one which didn't pay off that time. I don't think any parallels can be drawn from a one-off selling attempt on a market stall in France to any potential marketing he might be doing from under Sir Alan's wing, therefore I find it odd that Sir Alan saw it fit to fire him over that.
 
Apart from last night's and last week's episodes, I think Katie has been the best. She should concentrate on the task more and witty insults less though.

Every decision Paul made was the wrong one this week. That includes taking Kristina in to the boardroom.

The more I see of Katie the more I despise her.
 
Can someone tell me when the scots bird will step up to the plate. She's been on a few losing teams and really hasn't done anything at all yet Adam gets the brunt of things.

I'm a Scot myself but I find that she's done a really good job of hiding upto now.

Hopefully she'll be teamleader next week! :D

Great show, I think the right man had to go. The irish bint was really trying to get him fired but come on buying makro cheddar to sell to a organic french market place and not even buying a proper cooker. Even before the board room I said if anyone else gets the chop it would be a travesty. So many things went wrong. I like their swagger going to the printers to complain then they couldn't say anything the boss really tore them apart hehe.
 
Good show last night. Really can't stand Paul. But when he said he'd use this old army trick for cooking the bangers, I knew there and then it wouldn't work.

Adam does seem a bit dim but this time, it wasn't his fault. Ultimately, you can't buy cack from Makro proclaiming it to be fine english produce.

The interesting bit I thought was the candidates reaction that Adam stayed. I think they will undermine him next week and he will be off.

I think next week will be make or break for Adam. Asking to be project manager next week was very shrewd of him, it took SAS back a bit, and he didn't have a retort.

Adam Vs Katie would be good team captains.

You find it odd that he fired someone over trying to sell Cheese to the French?? It's like selling Pizza to the Italians or Tea to China.. and to cap it off, the makeshift "boy scout" stove was a joke... There is no doubt he picked the right person to go.. He lost them money.. simple as..

That was really harsh. Some (maybe even most) weeks you can tell that they're being really fake in their cheers, but even that's better than just glaring at the person!
