The only possible reason I can think he survived over Liz is that they have absolute dynamite on him for the interview rounds, so needed him to stay.

would sugar have gone to work for someone else?
One of the three contenders who gets fired seemed to have upset Lord Sugar. The last one shown seemed to be full of anger and disdain. That could be reserved for anyone though.
Ooh!! I hadn't thought of that!! :eek:
I thought exactly the same.
His own company at 21 with a turnover of £3 million per year, or a £100,000 per year job working for someone else?
Hmmm, tough choice :rolleyes:
He said he was a director of the company with the £3 million turnover not that it was his own.
His own company which he just started was not mentioned as a success yet.
My suspicions arose when Sugar did that digging on how much money his parents gave him and Stuart saying he made all his own money from selling yo yo's etc and how much of a success he was at 21 and the parallels with LS as a youngster. That could well be bullshit.
Can't wait for the interviews.
That said, though, I'm not surprised at Liz going. She hasn't shown that spark that Surallen is always going on about and has not only not lived up to her early promise in recent weeks, but has given a poor account of herself in the boardroom every time she's been on a losing team.
Did not watch YF tonight so have I missed something?
Has someone definitely lied alot on their CV? It would tally with how angry Sugar looked in the preview on the last clip.
He did not say he was head of the company with the 3m turnover though
He said he was a director which could mean anything from big involvement to doing nothing at all. How he became director has not been explained unless I missed something in the boardroom as I did have to answer the phone for 20 seconds.
Ah, yeah, good point. But still, at 21, bought his own house, has flash cars, so he's clearly not short of a few bob...
or...
Or perhaps Lord Sugar sees something he likes? Someone with a great deal of confidence and desire to succeed and make him lots of money? Why is that such a bad thing and why does it have to be fake?
I'm sure if Baggs didn't really own his own company the papers would have been all over it by now. And let's not forget who won the apprentice not so long ago, Lee 'lied on his CV' McQueen.
Still, I can't wait to see him get grilled by Claude and Margaret. Just watched the preview on YF - should be good!
And if what is on Baggs' CV is lies, that they will be absolute whoppers and will dwarf Lee's porky many times. All the better to watch them get torn apart!
Why not? Just because you wouldn't doesn't mean he doesn't want to. Perhaps he has ticked the self success box and wants to work for someone like Lord Sugar and give himself a new challenge.
He also said the company he works for has £3million turnover. Turnover is nothing without profit. The company might be making a profit of 20,000. Dont we see a lot of companies coming into Dragons den with high turnovers but also high costs? All the time in fact.
Also this job gives him more than £100k. It gets him close to one of the richest men in the country. He gives him so many opportunities and the publicity would be endless. Its more than the £100k. Much more. If he can get in with Sugar, prove he is what he says, after a year that £100k might be £300k. Anythings possible.
This is his company btw: http://bluewave.im/
He also has a blog for it that he has posted on recently, nothing personal ofcourse.

He certainly is capable of talking a good game, but have we seen that spark from him that the position requires? I don't think so.
I don't think he was kept just because they have good stuff on him for the next round, I think it would be very disrespectful to the potential employees if the producers say we want a good show, fire someone else please.

It wouldn't be me - i like the security of a regular salary!
But I've never met a successful business person with their own company/companies who would go back to working for someone else unless they absolutely had to
you don't 'tick' the self success box (particularly not at 21) - the sort of people who are serious risk takers want to be even more of a success
which is why I smell bullsh*t from Stubags
A few months on a TV show, free advertising and if he is offered the job, yet more contacts to be made.
I also like how they offer 'dedicated bandwidth' when in actual fact it's shared bandwidth as it has contention of 10:1...
