I thought Heir Baggs came across really well today. We saw a different side of him and I think he will make a very good employee to anyone once some of his youthful attitudes have gone.
Praise for Stuart's German efforts

I thought Joanna and him made a good team. You had stubaggs trying to speak the language to get the customers on side and then Joanna who got straight down to business side of it. Credit where credits due, Stuart did well this week.

He sounds like the lovechild of "Grandma Mo" on Eastenders and Michael Schumacher
Definately Baggs best task so far, thought he was great. The problem is he's had several tasks where he has been shocking! So needs another one like this week to stay the course.

I think 'excelled' is a very strong word!
I wouldn't say he excelled, but, credit where it's due I think he did better than most last night and definitely helped get the win. I wish Laura hadn't been on the winning team though - she is just SO uselss.
Jo was best last night by far
better than joannas "WE ....ARE....FROM.....ENGLAND, YOU....ARE...NOT...CLEVER....LIKE...ME, SO....LISTEN...CAREFULLY".

I thought she was by far the best last night, and i dont think she exagerrated her speach anywhere the extent you suggest above.

He was better than his usual gabbling pompous idiot ... thats all.
I love him being in the show as he is such catylist for all sorts of stuff that makes the show watchable... but he is not a credible candiate dor the job.
And he let himself down with how unpleasant and bitchy he was to all members of his team

However, there is one thing that you can only learn through age - when to keep your mouth shut. I think he's already beginging to learn.
I think he's the sort of rough diamond that LS would like as an apprentice.
As team leader he got a lot of decisions right (poduct, price) - even though a bit of nob at times.

I wouldnt call him unpleasant or bitchy. He certainly didnt intend to be. If anything I would say just the opposite.

Speaking slowly to people when using a language that is not their natural tongue is simply considerate and good manners and allows them a much better chance of following what you are saying.
Only an idiot takes offence and if they are particularly fluent, they can always ask the speaker to speed up which is less potentially embarrassing than having to ask them to slow down.
Anyway, the proof of the pudding: She not only got the order she doubled the amount from what the buyer originally intended.
A very accomplished an professional lady.

LOL, you really can't let that go, can you?
You do realise that you are coming across as spiteful, petty, and vindictive?
Joanna, all those years ago, at least had the excuse that the taxi driver had provoked her into a one off action - and it was a heat of the moment thing.
Your nasty hate campaign against Joanna, on the other had, is a rather sad and obsessive little thing carried out over a period of time in cold blood.

Well, since that report is from the Mail and Sun, and since I don't like the Mail and Sun, I take it with a pinch of salt. Whoever sold that story probably made quite a bit from an exaggeration.

There was a follow up somewhere where the cab driver said he couldn't say anything as he was trying to sell his story.

He has improved, no doubt in my mind, but what a little burk he is ...21 or not.
I dont imagine he has much success with women
Well although I find him an odious moron, his German really impressed me because I can't talk the language at all. At least he gave it a good go. What did make me laugh, was his face when Laura was speaking far too fast in her 'presentation'. He looked really cute (If that's possible!!) with his eyes because you could tell what he was thinking about her speech - brilliant and the way he rolled his eyes at some of the things said by her and Joanna in the first team meeting. He's becoming the most interesting character and starting to become slightly more likeable.

There is never any excuse for racial abuse. EVER!
