I hope she goes tonight. I cannot fathom out with S.A. has not booted her out yet.

She's dogmatic, patronising, up her own rear end, looks like her face has been slapped hard with a heavy frying pan, and really comes across as one completely arrogant, egotistical woman who speaks and treats the others like something she has trodden on (I know some of the others are as bad). I just cannot take to her at all.

Anyone else hope she is in the losing team tonight and that S.A. states those immortal words, "Your fired" to her.

She's my favourite to get the heave-ho now.
I can't much see the point in Howard, though I suppose he's harmless enough.
I would be very disappointed to see Ben go before the interviews - I'm really keen to see Paul Kemsley tear him a new A-hole

I dont think you are supposed to.

She certainly lacks any human warmth.

Cold as a fish

I don't like her but I cannot quite bring myself to hate her either - come to think of it I don't really hate any of them, but I would prefer it if Ben goes tonight - if only to support my hunch.

I'd reckon she or Lorraine is going.

She is everything I dislike in a person.

I cannot stand her, shes a good sales person and nothing more...even that I find aggressive though and I personally wouldnt buy from her.

I hope she goes...they have run out of bores to fire now, so hopefully tonights the night

I really like her for some reason! That idiot James should go.

He was crap, as is Ben, as is Deborah..any of them should go really

I dont know who I dislike more out of Ben and Deborah though

Leave Debra alone she's a class act!!! On point with her verbage and always knows how to defend herself in a scrap! She's got balls! never mind they're both on her chest!

Debra to win!!!

Well I got that one ever so slightly inaccurate!

Agree with magnificent and SAS likes her I can tell.

I don't like Debra either. She doesn't seem to have a nice personality and i would hate to work with someone like her.

She should have gone in the first week, last week and now this week but SAS seems to have a soft spot for her - maybe because he knows she makes good/entertaining viewing and gets people talking about her ruthless streak.

I never thought in a million years that Debra would be the type of contestant that would appeal to me, but I found myself willing her to stay tonight.

Instead of parroting a list of reasons to stay as James and Ben did, Debra's speech to Sir Alan seemed heartfelt and I saw a glimmer of humanity there.

So far I think she's been trying too hard instead of allowing her natural ability to shine. I hope she can do herself justice before it's too late.

I think I see where you're coming from here, Sid. I have to admit that out of all three, it was James that I felt for and was willing to stay.

However, that said, I did see what she was trying to relay to SA in terms of commitment and putting up the best fight she could 'against' her fellow boardroom candidates. And I think it's this reasoning of hers that's got the public against her, because they see her as a single minded ruthless woman.....when in fact, that is exactly what she is trying to do to prove how strong a candidate that she is.

It hasn't made her likeable to the majority of the public, however I think SA's 'business head' could see tonight what she was trying to articulate.....i.e. that she would be a ferocious and tenacious person to have on his team. And she obviously got that over to him tonight and it saved her from the chop.

I liked her best of those three. I think she gets a lot of unfair criticism. For example, she put her hand up to the rocking horse mistake long before Sir Alan went on about people not putting their hand up. It's clear that Nick and Margaret don't like her, and Sir Alan gets some respect from me for ignoring them.

I doubt she'll survive long though. She's not good enough to overcome the bad impression she's made, and she doesn't seem to be improving in the way that, eg, Lorraine or Ben did.

Once again she thought she knew best, was literally on her high horse on the rocking horse, shot down all the other products into the ground even when James pushed and pushed for another choice of product that she and Ben had viewed, then tried to blame James for not saying no to the very product she just about demanded they get.

I'm with Nick and Margaret, she doesn't listen, thinks she is right all the time, never accepts blame (till AS offered the 'who'se going to have the balls to stand up and be counted'). The way she spoke to the prospective buyers at the end, I'd have told her where to shove her rocking horse. Glad she didnt get the sale, she was again, overly aggressive.

The rocking horse wasn't the mistake. The mistake was not negotiating a better price. We don't know whose fault that was, but it was probably Ben.

I don't mind her. Of her type she's more likable and human to me than Saira or Claire were. And arguably Kristina, but she always had a weird charismatic hold over me despite clearly being evil.

I don't know if she's as competent as any of the above, but she's got a decent sense of humour and she's basically honest. Blunt, shrill and aggressive yes, but you should expect coming on this show, and I don't ever remember her speaking that harshly about her fellow contestants (cue a flood of quotes to prove me wrong)

You could be right on the probably Ben bit, we aren't there and dont see it all. I dont like the girl and may be bias to place all blame on her unfairly. but it was a very expensive product to start off with that wasnt pulling any interest particulary when the price tags were displayed.

I think we may all be taking this a little too seriously !

Exactly (rarely find myself agreeing with your brangdon, but I most definately do on this occasion!).

If they the pair had negotiated a better price on the rocking horse and Debra had made that last-minute sale, we'd have been singing her praises.

It was a gamble that didn't pay off, but I doubt they could have made up the deficit selling their second choice instead (helmets for babies).

The real problem lay with birthing pool which simply didn't have a big enough market. And it was James' fault that they went with that.

They are both at fault for that one.
If Debra was as 'shit hot' as she thinks she is she would have asked for a special price for the show.

I haven't taken to her at all, she showed her colours on the first episode and hasn't redeemed herself since.

She's in partnership with Jenny Celery. I think being in league with the actual devil himself would make me question her ethics less.
