Hi, i have been watching series 3 again on youtube. This was the first series i watched and i didn't even see series 1 and 2 until the sametime as series 4 was on. Series 3 is still my favourite, whether its because it was the first 1 i saw or not i'm not sure. Anyway though i really liked Natalie when i first saw it and i wanted her to last a bit longer than 5 weeks. Watching it again i still like her but i don't like the way she treats Adam. Weeks 4 and 5 there seems to be some sort of war between them and she definately picks on him a bit, even saying that he wasn't punchy enough in the art task. But he did sell and she didn't!!! Anyway i'd be interested to hear people's opinions on Natalie because i haven't often noticed anyone talk about her.

That's because she was neither memorable nor remarkable, tbh. She got her just desserts when she was sacked for bringing the wrong people (Adam & Lohit, was it?) back into the boardroom, allowing her 'mate' Katie to escape.

Yes it was Adam and Lohit she took in with her. And yes i suppose she wasn't all that memorable or remarkable - and like i pointed out myself she said and did some stupid things as well . I just liked her for some reason, not even sure why. Alan seemed to like her too because it was 'with regret' when he fired her.

She was allright, but came across as quite two-faced with the way she acted towards Adam.

She clearly had some kind of vendetta against him on the art task. He was always quite fair towards her and did everything she asked of him, and I think he quite liked her. But she was trying her upmost to get him fired because she wanted to be in the popular group with Katie and friends.

Natalie was on the losing team 4 times out of 5, and never come across to me as particularly strong. I seem to recall some people thought Naomi depended on her, but I couldn't really see it myself.

A lot of people liked Adam and disliked Katie, which I think colours things. I'm the opposite, so I'm biased the other way. Although Katie failed to sell on the art task, she did well at buttering up the artists and secured the patronage of the ones she was allowed to meet, so I thought it reasonable that she not be brought into the boardroom.

It was Adam's best task, though, and since he did sell he probably shouldn't have been there either. Did Simon sell? I can't remember.

The Zoo task was a bit of a disaster, with Adam somehow contriving to lose despite Ghazal's very poor production. He blamed Sophie and Natalie for not being good enough at sales, and Sophie went. I always felt that was most unfair as it was Sophie who did a wonderful job on their production, worked very late and avoided Ghazal's screw-ups. But I don't remember much about Natalie's side.

Yeah, Simon was the best seller on the art task because he managed to sell one of the 'lips' paintings plus some of the cheaper ones which Adam also sold.

I never really had a problem with Natalie. I wasn't fussed on Adam (a bit dour for my liking, and I felt stayed in for too long), so maybe that influences my view. She wasn't particularly great and I think she knew that, hence sidling up to stronger players, but she was at least the right sort to be going for an apprentice position, and I thought nice enough.

I have absolutely no memory of her. What did she look like?

I think that sums up my feelings. I wasn't mad keen on Adam (although I thought some of the contestants, including Natalie, treated him unnecessarily badly), but I thought Natalie was unremarkable, and out of her depth.

Long blonde hair, and thick rimmed glasses.

I saw her once in Romford talking to a couple of old ladies about the show. I didn't hear much, as I just walked past but she seemed very nice and friendly.

I don't really remember her either. I think she had an Essex accent.

...which Sralan saw right through. Have to say, this was probably Sralan's most fair sacking ever. IMO.
