well LS did say afterwards to the other two that he had had, enough of the pair of them. And he sounded like he meant it.

I was annoyed that he wasn't pressed about the 9am / 1pm time slot. It really would have made the difference between them winning and losing.
He just didn't give an answer, mumbled something rubbish and got away with it! He had that guilty look, like he knew he'd messed up big time! |

I find Chris more annoying than Jamie, though he runs a close second. Chris talks in an incredibly dull monotone and has a way of steamrollering his ideas through, then failing to back up his team leader when asked. Then he gets all aggressive in the boardroom and LS falls for it.
Jamie, the most wonderful salesperson in the whole history of sales, ever, is just full of the usual. There was a slim chance he could have gone last week had Sandeesh brought him in, because it did seem that LS was gunning for him. However, then he had his chance to get rid of one of those two this week, and he fired Christopher! The remaining lot are for the most part bumbling idiots, I really do think only a woman can now win out of this lot. We have Stuart, Chris and Jamie - none of whom have demonstrated any talent whatsoever. Then we have Stella, Liz, Jo and Laura - Laura is useless and will not win. I'm not keen on Jo who can be bullying, loud and annoying and two faced. (Stuart, last task) Liz won that amazing pitch on the baby product, but to be honest, that was such a great idea that its possible any of them could have got it had they pitched. Stella has now been project manager twice, winning both times. At the moment, she is the clear leader for me, by a long way. |

What did Jamie do in the first episode(s) that everyone keeps alluding to?

![]() It's sound simple and basic but it's very often lacking in these candidates. |

![]() otherwise his career trajectory so far is.... 2nd Task, coming up with the Cuuli. And keeping focus on that rather than bikinis. 3rd Task, whinges about Melissa a lot. 4th is a pretty good PM of one half of his team. Sells well. Tasks 5 & 6 is present (at least in the winning team) Task 7 pushes skiing as a good idea. Gives lots of advice to people who are sick of listening to it. Task 8 gets his mate fired by accident. |

I find Jamie very smarmy and insincere - both in what he says and the way he says it.
And he has this constant smirk on his face that I feel compelled to wipe off. Quote:
I actually agreed with what LS said. In the beginning I thought he was very competent. As the series has gone on he's become more and more of a backstabber and a manipulator.

![]() Furthermore, I'm still not. He wasn't even PM so it wasn't his place. Shameless sneak that one!

That's because I can see when others are shirking and covering their own failings by picking holes in what others are doing so I wasn't at all impressed. And I'm still not.
He's a shameless sneak that one. |

Well not really. They are selling together. If StuBaggs is shouting loudly down the street, potential customers could give the whole team a deliberate miss. Or if someone takes offence, then man hours are lost trying to calm an argument down. Jamie didn't want to the team to lose cos one guy wants to show off for the cameras. Besides Karren had already clocked StuBaggs was being a tit.

No, in coddle the sausages don't brown, even though they are cooked because of the way they're cooked.

Coddle is disgusting. I'm originally from the north of Ireland and I didn't grow up with the stuff so it was quite a shock when I was first served it at Uni.
I didn't grow up with it either. I first made it in my 20s. It's not widely eaten in Dublin and definitely not in the country at large. And I don't know any uni canteen or restaurant that serves it. |
