Well, Philip certainly complained in the boardroom that he was brought into the boardroom because he stuck his neck out and took a risk, while there were others who managed to keep under the radar. Of course I don't know whether Noorul does nothing or not. I suspect he tries to contribute and is shouted down, and doesn't have the capability to stick up for himself. Suralan is looking for a fighter though, and from the admittedly limited amount I have seen, I have formed some opinions about them. In conclusion, I don't think Noorul does absolutely nothing, but I don't think he has made any significant contributions to the teams he's been on. There are better candidates.

Is that better?

Yes, nothing to argue with there.

I don't think Noorul is in any way a contender - I just think his inactivity is severely exaggerated at times.

I quite like Jenny Eclair, and have done since she was in "Packet of Three" with Frank Skinner. She's outrageously coarse, which isn't everyone's thing.

I choose the interpret the gay comment as remarking on the contrast between how gay characters are so often portrayed on TV, eg in sitcoms and in some other reality shows such as Big Brother, and how this real gay person actually was. I hesitate to use the word "ironic", but she took this basic, positive, pro-gay observation and put her usual outrageous twist on it to make it funny. I don't think she meant it literally.

Well, no. He didn't sulk when his "cereal killer" idea was rejected. He didn't sulk when his "so natural you'll feel naked" idea was rejected. Each time he just took the criticisms on board and came back with a new, better idea. He was the same on the fitness task. He had to refine his idea through several iterations before Debra accepted it.

How do you know?

He may have had a sulk, wasted some time and then come up with a new idea.

Or not.

But his attitude when he said what he was going to do if his idea didn't get selected sounded pretty poor to me.

If you prefer, he wasn't shown sulking. There's no reason to think he sulked. Let's keep the criticism to stuff we've actually seen him do.

Saying that if they go with a worse idea and lose, he'll hold them to account in the boardroom is entirely reasonable. And he says it to the camera - it's not a threat made to the other candidates.

But we have seen him looking very sulky and petulant - and we have seen him throw tantrums on camera.


And by the same token, let's keep the defence to stuff we've seen.


OK, that's just being a pompous pratt as holding them to account if they lose is Sugar's job.

When do you think he was sulking? Maybe we mean different things by that.

Me too - I thought it was Sue when I turned over *lol*
