I'll give him props for enthusiasm and being a fun guide, but some of his statements left me giggling (and I'm sure they showed the bad bits for entertainment purposes!)

'The River Thames . . . the second largest river in London'

'Nielsen's column'

'Big Ben, 20 diameters wide'

well he got the tips. That should prove it. They ought to win or lose on how many tips they get!
A pity he had to share it with the agency. I believe he should keep them. He really worked hard.
But he wont win.

Hilarious - Mr Saz and I were in bits laughing at him.

The river quote was my fave.

He looked line he'd done a line of coke before he started. He was good, I especially liked the detailed description of Sweeney Todd's activities, the parents of the kids looked shocked, but that was the nature of the tour.

He's been the strongest male since day one.

LOL at the Church comments.

Also the detailed description of Sweeney Todd it was so funny and obviously Jamie loves that story.

I really enjoyed watching him on his tour he was really good.

Love him!!

I found it funny though that Stella said she wanted to show her 'fun side' so where was it then?!

And also considering he only took one busload of people (they sold no tickets for the 3pm ride) to make almost £70 in tips (+20%) he did really well!

I've always thought that he was the strongest male contender - he had a couple of bad weeks - but is a real dark horse - esp now that Liz has gone. I would say that him and Joanna are in with a good chance.

Stella - too cold and wooden
Stuart - too unpredictable and really we haven't see the results from him that he claims
Chris - been on losing team too many times, and I think he is not Lord Sugar's cuppa tea

Jo & Jamie seem more 'working class' (Sir Sugars cuppa tea) grafters and good salespeople...

See, I thought Stella DID show her funny side - I've never really got this 'wooden' description of her, I think she's got a very dry sense of humour. And her rendition of 'knees up mother Brown' was certainly not taking herself seriously!

Purely down to nerves which did suprise me as I though he was a very confident guy.

I wondered about this. Some of the extra clips they showed on your fired looked to have taken place in the dusk, the sky was deffinatley getting darker. So they must have got a latter bus tour in at some point surley to account for this?

I noticed this too, I reckon they must have added a later tour after the 3pm fell flat.

That bloke on the bus certainly seemed to be enjoying it!

Fair play to Stella. I would have wimped out of singing it as there was so few people.

Indeed! She certainly seemed to be entering into the spirit and seemed to find the situation ludicrous and funny. She didn't seem wooden and seemed to be enjoying it to me.

I thought they scheduled 3 trips. When we saw the blackboard in the ticket office, I'm sure there were three times posted.

They did schedule 3 trips but 3pm was too early for a last trip and thus there were no takers.

Yeah haha the way he said 'church' was so funny! It was like he'd just realised that it was indeed a church.

Love Jamie, Joanna bugging him on your fired made me laugh so much. He looked dead cute in his uniform.
