Camp guy on You're Fired
GAWD! He was soooo rude!!
ARGH, if I was Noorul, I would've ripped his bow tie off at the very least! Not a fan of Noorul, but no-one deserves to be treated like sh*t. ![]() ![]()

There were moments when he was very amusing, but he wouldn't leave poor Nooral alone!

Alvin's great and he has mixed it with the worst of Wall Street. He was absolutely right - Noorul was far too defensive.

Alvin was an annoying dick and seemed to want to annihilate Noorul's character.
Yes Noorul was a bit retiring and limp, but he didn't deserve the character assassination he received. |

I find Ben very obnoxious and yet still think Noorul was the right person to go after his fairly self-destructive performance in the boardroom; insisting on butting in when Ben was doing a good job of burying himself, only to end up making himself look even worse! Noorul could have put up a much stronger defence by simply pointing out that he had been the only one to correctly value one of the "gems" and that he had been unwilling to let it go for £50 and it was Ben who had forced the deal through at £60. Noorul should have said that he hadn't wanted it to go for less than it was worth and that Ben had cost them over £100 in loss for that one sale when he put it through at £60. One thing that did puzzle me though was that initially Ben was being credited with brokering the deal for the skeleton, and yet by the end of it Noorul was blamed for being responsible for it when it was deemed to have been a bad deal!! |

It was a mistake on Nick's part to assign Noorul the blame for the skeleton deal when Ben closed the deal and didn't allow any opportunity for anyone to disagree with it.

I don't like him.
I find something distasteful about guests on these shows who just directly insult people thinking they're funny for doing it. Guests do mock people for comedy and it can be funny if it's purely motivated by comedy, but he seemed to be just a bit too sneery and nasty in a personal way. The way he looked at him as he was laughing at him, ugh. Didn't like him one bit. |

I love Alvin, although I prefer it when he's making people cry because they are forty thousand pounds in debt, and then helping them get out of it!

I don't think he wanted to do any such thing. Alvin was simply pointing out why Noorul behaves the way he does - he wasn't saying that "head intelligence over "emotional intelligence" is a bad or even unprofessional way to behave - just that it's not what to do to succeed in business or rather in a show like the Apprentice. I think Noorul proved it himself with what he was saying in the program - how his gameplan was to just lay low and do as he was told. He was never going to survive long operating like that.

Absolutely right. Nooral was a rubbish candidate, but keeping his mouth shut during that sales negotiation was one of his better silences.
So both came out of it badly. I'm happy to blame Nooral for being weak, for allowing the deal to go through too low, and for allowing Ben to jump in at all. I'm happy to also blame Ben for stealing the deal from Nooral, and for making the deal too low. |
