If you think rocky's, maj or paula's episodes on YRF was good then you have seen nothing yet.

Just you wait!

Maybe they'll all be sitting there, the show starts, and Noorul fails to turn up.

It'll be like drowning a puppy. Or stealing sweeties from a toddler.

I cant wait because it means he wont be in contention to win anymore

They will have less "highights" material than for Kim.

Isn't Al Murray on the panel this week?

I'm sorry but is this a spoiler for next week?

No, just anticipation. Surely the day can't be that far off!

It's going to be great. Right up there with Sophocles last year

I hardly think its fair comparing Noorul with the "good Jewish boy". Sophocles was a slimeball.

In the context of this thread, I'm talking about how amusing his 'you're fired' show's going to be. Like Sophocles last year, I can see a unanimous verdict from panel and audience that Siralun's never made a better decision.

The lad is clearly being edited to look useless, and for that reason, I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to do quite well.

If the losing PM is automatically in the board room on the basis the loss must be at least partly their fault, then the winning PM (which he was) must be deemed to have at least some of the credit.

I do see this logic and I'd say that in most cases, the PM has a big impact on whether the task succeeds or fails. But it's not infallible. There have probably been the odd occasions when the PM in the losing task was not one of the three people most responsible for losing the task.

Equally, there are times when the winning team wins because of the efforts of other team members, apart from the PM. The whole team want to win - otherwise they're vulnerable. It's totally in their interests to win, even if their PM is crap. And the way Siralun saw it, that's the way it was with Noorul. There were strong team members who pushed it through.

I agree that they're all victims of their editing, but it's very difficult to make a dynamic, innovative team leader look useless. Noorul did plenty to help the editors. He didn't sell anything. He couldn't seem to make any decisions. He hasn't made a single postive impression in five weeks. I'd say Noorul looks useless because he is.

Most importantly, Nick and Margaret, who see the task as it is rather than the edited version, have a very low opinion of him.

I suppose I just tend to stick up for the underdog LOL.

I really do wonder how some of the candidates could possibly be seen to fit the alleged description of bright young business people though - being a teacher is a tough job but unless things have changed a lot since I was last in a school you don't actually have to go out and flog things in the lunch hour!

He'll probs be out tonight

Are you talking about pupils or products?

Well predicted Mr_Predictor!
