What Was So Great About Chris In Last 2 Tasks?
From what I can make out, the only thing that is impressive about him in the last 2 weeks and is what is impressing Sugar, is that he is good at communicating in the boardroom and is good at being assertive in the boardroom without losing it, and thats whats kept him in, because performance wise in the tasks, what has he done that is so spectacular that he should survive all the time?
I reckon from the look sugar gave him last night while he was definding himself that Suagr is very impressed with him to the point that at this point he is Sugar's favourite, this years Lee Mcqueen. Whats he doing now btw? |

Oh and Lee left Amscreen in July this year and set up his sales training academy. He's on twitter btw. http://www.rawtalentacademy.com/ |

To be fair he shouldnt off been in the board room this week anyway, the only problem he done was suggesting the price to be 7.99
Jamie and Liz should of been in the boardroom, jamie for moaning and Liz for over spending and getting the car at the end which added more money to their over spending. |

I personally don't like or rate Chris B that much. But in fairness to him, the only thing he's really done badly wrong so far was the germenator ad. He's been pretty much a solid/OK performer on the other tasks - although he was only really exceptional when he was PM.
This week's costing error wasn't really his fault (or Liz's or that matter) since what they were basically doing was presenting the figures to Sandeesh, who had the option of raisng the price, but didn't - although I do think they could have spoken up a bit more about this. It also helps Chris that Sugar seems to think he's good. I don't think he'll win, but I think he'll get to the final five for sure. Don't see the Lee resemblance myself. I agree with Tercet, he reminds me more of Alex from the same series (who I loathed) .

Starting to feel he's a bit like Alex from series 4. Whinges a bit, thinks he's better than he is, and relies on being direct and keeping his cool in the boardroom. He has make some poor decisions which did help the last two tasks to fail. They were chiefly poor because they weren't thought through enough. The PM in both cases were persuaded and they took the blame (fairly IMHO). Maybe that's it, he sounds intelligent and that causes less sure and less experienced people to trust him on it. He's not brilliant, but he's not bad definately. To me, he's stayed partly on weaker or impossible candidates leaving instead.
So far Joanna and Liz have more passion and knowledge than Stella or Chris. Those four in that order. I would be surprised if he doesn't make interviews. Oh and Lee left Amscreen in July this year and set up his sales training academy. He's on twitter btw. http://www.rawtalentacademy.com/ Certainly though if you put Alex in a situation like the bakery in task 3, he would have been whining up a storm, whereas Chris seemed the most ammenable of the three there. I do think a point of commonality with Alex is that they seem to be at the centre of a clique who to a certain extent back each other and adopt eachother's ideas implicitly over those of outsiders. It's just a bit hard to tell who's in it. |

I agree. I was really surprised Sandeesh didn't bring Jamie in actually - although I don't think it would have made any difference to who got fired.
It was Chris and Liz who didn't deliver and or messed up and they where lucky in the fashion selling task too to get away with that. Jamie may have moaned but he was giving his views on what they should be doing. No doubt if he was called back in the final 3, he would have used that as a defence and would/should have said that if you don't give your views and stay quiet then people want to sack you for that as well or think you should be sacked for that etc etc. |

I've not seen him do anything remarkable. To me he looks like a duck out of water in most tasks. |

Really? I think Liz worked very hard, particularly in last week's task.

Otherwise they may as well change the show to how well the PM performs and in a way its has unoffcialy become like this in this series. |

I think Liz messed up on the costs, and wasn't realistic on how many they could sell. 100 is a lot, they ordered 110 discs didn't they? Maybe Sandeesh should have realised this too, but I think she was right when she said she had to think of everything, general stratergy wise and she can't be expected to think of everything and that some things have to be delegated.
Otherwise they may as well change the show to how well the PM performs and in a way its has unoffcialy become like this in this series. S1 three S2 five S3 six S4 six S5 four S6 four out of 7 tasks So unless the PM goes in all remaining tasks, it's typical for TA. |

S'five out of seven Tercet2 - Dan, Shibby, Paloma, Alex and Sandeesh, Jamie and Laura are the only losing PMs not to be fired.

)I must say some of the decisions this year have shocked me. Not firing Jamie was fair enough. His team had a very good showing that week and any major mistakes were made by Stubaggs/Melissa. I'm still in shock about Laura not getting fired as PM. Jamie got called out for losing control of his subteam. Laura lost control of her entire team - cried - called her team a bunch of harpies - made a catastrophically bad decision - sold not a single bean - and somehow escaped the chop. Lord Sugar hasn't been this easy on a candidate since Michael Sophocles. |

[quote=Sherlock_Holmes;45854761]Fine if you donīt like them, but they werenīt on the same team during the fashion task
QUOTE] I'm pretty sure they where on the same team actually bit it doesn't matter even if they where not as they where nothing special in that task either. |
