No.

She's been exceptional so far. She was going nowhere, neither was Christopher.

I think everyone (including Sandeesh herself) knew her days were numbered. The reflecting of the task in the boardroom was just a formality.

I was, particulary when LordSuga said that massive sales earlier on may not neccessarily count, and when we found that the "someone as meticulous as you" line was directed at her.

When he said that, I was almost expecting a Raef-style farce firing, but he did make the right decision in the end. And yeah. she wouldn't have gone, and I would have thought it bad if she had.

She'll probably win! I didn't think she would get the axe this week although she did overcook the number of DVDs required for the task.

Incredibly and somewhat sadly there is a facebook appreciation where violence had been threatened against Sugar if he does not give her the job

For years he had to deal with the wrath of Spurs supporters. And they didn't ponce around with creating a facebook page!

Well, Yasmina made a maths mistake last year and we all know where it took her

Mind you, as a numbers man myself (but also not that great with actually maths, more of a spreadsheet guy) I did agree with Carol Vorderman that she only summed up a maximum number of DVD´s (plus the waste), but Sandeesh did nothing with that information and just went with the number that Liz provided her (same mistake as Paula last year).

She's a lovely woman but haven't seen much of her personality yet.

Dont really know what she has done so far apart from visiting the competition and copying their idea.

Nothing, alone a recordbreaking sales and a win as PM (plus getting praised by Nick twice in the boardroom)

Ah well, but she doesn´t seem to have a personality according to some people (thought Big Brother had finished ).

Liz has been excellent throughout the series...but on the two occasions in the boardroom when she has needed to justify or explain her performance she hasn't been as strong as she needs to be to win the competition.

I am thinking initially of her week as PM...she did ok, but not as well as others (eg Stella) and in the boardroom she was a little bit on the back foot. I suspect she wasn't under that much threat tonight, but she was slightly flustered when asked to explain why she shoudn't be fired, and otherwise she was either edited out or simply not saying that much whilst the other two were fighting their corner. Sugar is contrary enough to fire her just for saying she was surprised to even be there.

Liz has generally been very accomplished in the tasks , but will need to be stronger under fire by the time it gets towards the final episodes. None of the other candidates has really had a go at her yet, but if we end up with Liz, Stella, and Joanne (say) as the last three then she'll need to be able to hold her own in an argument of equals and we haven't seen it yet.

record breaking phantom sales from a prepared script. Has she had any good idea so far? Its only Joanna who seems to have had any, Thats if you dont count looking at the competition at the end of the day. She should have done it a lot earlier.

Not worried for a second. There was no way she was going.

I wasn't worried. I hope she does go. I'm not keen on her.

I thought she was really good with the clients, geeing up the kids while they were being videod.

People wouldn't have bought them if the kids were standing there like dummies.

But who would have bought that product anyway? Completely naff idea all round.

I agree with both comments. As the series has gone on, we've realised just how 'un-exciting' she is.

There's absolutely nothing there. IMO, she wouldn't survive in a hard-core business environment; she hasn't got that aggressiveness to succeed (and yes, you do need it sometimes).

Liz's record breaking achievement stemmed from the fact that she was promoting a really appealing product. It was quite an ingenious item. Any of the other candidates would have performed equally well. Liz was lucky. The task she project managed and won was also relatively straightforward. Particularly in light of her admission (that she "loved" clothes..it helps when you have a genuine interest in the product)

Sure. But she's very nice to look at. With Paloma gone we need someone...

I'm not quite sure what kind of hard-core business environment you're talking about but don't forget that she is an investment banker. And it doesn't get more aggressive than that. These guys work crazy hours and the pressure is immense. It's the most testosterone-fuelled, aggressive working environment I can think of.

That may be true. but we haven't seen anything like that from Liz; she's not been shown to be under any pressure (and no, it doesn't mean there was some and that she handled it ok)

To the majority, it looks as if she's had a very easy ride; in fact, too easy.

Yeah, I agree that we haven't seen it on the show and it does look like she's had an easy ride. I'm only making the point that she can turn to her day job if that accusation is ever thrown at her in the boardroom.

I think she's a slightly less impressive version of Kate Walsh. And I thought Kate was outclassed by Yasmina last year.
