Laura could go far IMO(hope so anyway) as long as she doesnt make another mistake like the Boots affair
Sandeesh v Paloma v Laura - "the battle of Soho"
3 of 5
Although Paloma has done some stupid things (i.e: almost taking on more orders than they can cope with), I admire her coolness & confidence and I thought she came out of it quite well. Laura just annoys me- she's like a petulant child.
Laura gets easily upset and overruled by the stronger characters. I almost feel a little bit sorry for her. I don't think she's completely useless, even after her bad stint as PM (that situation wasn't entirely her own fault in my opinion) - but I don't think she'll win either.
Same with Sandeesh, imo, minus the getting upset and overruled part.
Paloma has potential to get to the final five if she calms down - but she won't win either. She's too impulsive, and only seems to really be good at sales (at least so far).

He's interferred before, when?
He's asked questions, asked for clarifications and kind of made them realsie how they've boobed when its to late but he doesnt intervene in terms of splitting up fights.

Well I suppose you could define the time when he alerted the team to the Sandalwood disaster last year as intervention - but most of the time he pretty much does what you said.

Which one was that? The one where he made them realise they had completely over spent on an ingredient?
He pointed out that time Syed bought a 100 chickens for 100 chicken pizza's and said "interesting" once he got the clarification!
Thats what happens when your rushing around too much huh?!
I've had time to watch episode 3 and think paloma has unfairly been slammed for her porkie incident.
Christ- it was after midnight, she probably didn't realise the cameras were on and it was shibby that started the conversation in the car.
For him to bring it up in the boardroom was pathetic. It was like he has lost the battle and was deperately looking to paloma to help him bring down sandeesh.
If i were in paloma's shoes I would have done the same thing- although i genuinely think she forgot the cameras were on.
What's funny is that we think we are all angels- christ surely we've all told a lie or forgotten we have said something before?

Your probably the only one.
Lucky that team won. Otherwise I would have fired all three of them...they are all fairly crap compared to some of the others.
Funny how all three went to get their order books, for the order Laura got.
Then laura turning round, and asking for a share of Palomas order, when she realised it was big.
Excuse me, your the one was bitching about the others when they tried to jump in on your order. Laugh a minute.
How righteous, I love it.

I work in IT - not in business. Hence why I dont go onto a 'business' program.
You dont go on a show like the apprentice, and think you wont get criticised. If you dont like to read criticism, dont come here.
However I know enough, not to stand on a customers shop entrance and have an argument with my colleagues. If you think the way those three women conducted themselves was professional, then your very wrong. Do you think they behaved professionally?
did it ever occur to you that art director asked them to stand there while they had their conversation?? Sad but true.
Cameras need power and power was closer to the shop then around the corner...
Honestly- people who are not in the TV world as soooo clueless.
Stick to IT mate- much safer to hide behind computers then put yourself out there and give things a go in life!!

Are you Laura?
but i agree. It wasn't professional but in a serious competition environment and lack of sleep- anything goes! And you love it- otherwise you woudn't watch it.
Paloma would NEVER behave like that in a real business environment.
Trust me

Sorry - are you suggesting the cameras need to be plugged into the shop's power supply to work? How do the film in the cab then? Or the swimming pool? Or the park?....Must have some very long electrical extension leads at the BBC.

so your criticising her now!!
If you can, then so can we.
all I know is that they were asked to stand in the doorway.
The cameras and the van were all there too.
They don't have the freedom to just wander off and have an argument where ever they want

Paloma is being set up for a SrAlan hairdryer rant..that is plain to see.......one of the previous contestants claimed previously that Nick and Margaret sometimes give teams the wrong info just to make better telly? I wonder if that is true?

I DO hope it IS true! Please let it be true!
what i do know is tha sales figures are manipulated...
Especially with the big retailers that are set up to meet them.
The show can ask them to say, do whatever they want...
sorry to spoil it for you, Liz's miracle sale was not down to exceptional sales ablity...

Yeah, that one exactly. If he hadn't queried their figures they would have crashed and burned spectacularly.

Hmmm - my memory is Nick only pointed it out after the fact. They knew they then had to sell like billio, but couldn't close the gap and so never made a profit.

You're now doing a good impersonation of either being Paloma or someone who's worked on the programme judging by your next 2 comments.
