Tonights losing team only really has Chris who is in anyway capable.

Laura and Sandeesh whilst great to look at, but unfortunately are pretty useless.

Has Sandeesh been on the losing team every week.

If Sandeesh and Laura are on any more losing teams they are certain to go

Edit: Forgot Stuart he is pretty useless as well

It does seem unfair - Liz and Stella are both tipped as potential finalists. Joanna is aggressive (apparently) but very competent and Jamie and Christopher are the least ridiculous of the blokes.

I agree. I think Liz/Stella should swap over with perhaps Sandeesh for the next task. At the moment, its a bit predictable as to who wins the tasks.

Looking at it another way, maybe this is all the more reason to keep the teams as they are?

It gives the stronger candidates more chance of getting further.

Laura and Sandeesh need to be kept on the weaker (often losing) side until they are eliminated!

Doesn't the ending of today's show point to one of Stella and Liz being sacked next week? Not sure any of the other candidates could be described as meticulous.

Why would strong candidates need a helping hand? surely they are capable of standing on their own two feet?

Well, tonights intro would give you a clue

I think it will be Christopher.

Personally I think Synergy's abilities are being over-rated.

Christopher is awful and Jamie's nothing special. Liz has performed extremely well at selling products but this is only one skill. Stella's good performances seem a while back, as does Joanna. Overall they have one big hitter in Liz who will make the finals.


Apollo have Chris who has been exceptional in most of the tasks. Sure he made a mistake this week but he will learn. Chris and LIz more or less cancel each other out so that leaves the other members.

Stu is just as good as Jamie and is leagues ahead of Christopher. Sandeesh and Laura are overall weaker than Stella and Jo.

Not alot between the teams really. Both have deadwood and big hitters.

Has Sandeesh been on the losing team every week.
Task results:
Stella - 5/6 wins
Christopher - 4/6
Jamie - 4/6
Joanna - 4/6
Liz - 4/6
Chris - 2/6
Laura - 2/6
Sandeesh - 2/6
Stuart - 2/6

So to be fair to Sandeesh, she's not the only one regularly on the losing team, there's three other people.

Joanna runs a cleaning company which involves beion thorough & an attention to detail?

We were calling one of the teams, the A-Team and the other the B-Team last night. It did seem that the A-Team (Army Chris, Stella, Liz, Jamie and Joanne) had all the candidates who haven't really put a foot wrong in this series and could realistically make it to the final. Whille the other team are weaker in terms of business skills and social ability.

I was surprised the A-Team were so off their game this week, I was especially surprised that Liz, Stella and Joanne didn't see the out-dated image of a woman in their ad. I thought they should have lost for the cringe factor alone. However, nothing they did really changed my mind that they're not the stronger team overall.

I thought both teams yesterday were happy to let the PMs make mistakes thinking that they could just sit back and watch the PM get fired if they lost. A double firing would have kept them more on their toes in future tasks.

If next week's firee is usually 'meticulous' I don't think it can be Baggs the Brand, or indeed Sandeesh.

It implies someone has made a serious error, maybe an ethical error or a big financial mistake?

This task gives the opportunity for AS to pick the person he wants fired because he picks the losing team.

I think as soon as Alex put himself forward for PM he was doomed to be honest. Having shown last week that his 'marketing guru' skills were not enough to win a retail task he really put himself in the firing line.

He seems to know the theory but can't really apply it in practice because he is a poor decision maker and doesn't adapt to new information.

Eg the point about not showing a child using the product was swept to one side but it should have caused a major rethink - the other advert was crass and sexist but the ad showing a child using the product would probably not be allowed.

Lordalan can mix and match any time he wants.

And how come this fantastic 'A' team produced such a rubbish ad in that case? Loads of people (not I) are saying their campaign was weaker than the 'bees'. You can't say they were streets ahead.
