How did Jamie make it as far as he did?
From what I can remember he didn't do anything (good or bad) which made him stand out. He was just... there

From what I can recall, he was pretty good at the beginning. I actually wanted to him to win. I'd swap him with Chris or Stella any day.

Jamie had the brilliant idea of the water bottle/towel thingie, something I would buy. He's good at selling too, and he gets along with people. I never thought he could win but I did like him.

He looked tired at the end, like he'd had enough.

He's very charismatic I think, rather than likeable (he could be smarmy and smug quite a bit of the time) which makes him a good sales person and pitching. He also seemed to be the ideas man at the beginning (with the Cuuli) but he lost a lot of shine with his naff Skiing idea in the DVD's task.
He was the male version of Liz but less articulate and slightly less intelligent (and less good), but when it comes down to it they were both only really great at sales and not much else. |

I was really surprised he was fired over the bore that is Chris to be honest. I dread the presentation next week, as lovely as Chris is, I tend to develop a serious case of attention deficit disorder when he talks
. Jamie seemed to have more passion when he spoke in my opinion. Then again if it was up to me I would of had a Stella/Stuart final, so what do I know .

He got as far as he did because the rest were hopeless, bar Liz.
Look at Joanna, small business that basically hasn;t grown in years, thick as two short planks, yet she nearly got to the final. |

I actually quite liked him and was hopeful that he would do well in the interviews. I think he got quite a tough time of it in the interviews to be honest, and certainly tougher than Stella and Chris.

A good salesman, but thats about it!
But with most of these shows, I'm cynical about how they are set up, edited etc. But the interview process in itself was very telling in how tough or weak the questions were and whom they were being directed to. Which left me feeling that that his interviews were pretty tough in comparison to Chris and Stella's, but especially Stella's. I suppose you could argue the fact that both Chris and Stella are squeeky clean type candidates and nothing much to grill them about. If so, why even bother having candidates like Stuart and Jamie on the show? |

![]() ![]() Jamie should give up on property and set up his own London tour bus company. He made a very entertaining tour guide! |

I have no idea.
I guess its the same reason Lord Sugar fired Joanne before him. LS delivered a heart warming speech to Joanne, complete with a "regret". Then came Jamie and it was a simple 15 second segment of youre fired. He is just there. Middle of the road kind of guy that you easily forget about! He was absolute rubbish imo though. I didnt mind him at the beginning. But i think that has more to do with the editing, rather than ability. The show hadnt really shown how boring, repetitive or how be blamed everyone else at that point...he could hide! ![]() He was exactly what he is full of...cr!p!! |

Because he's a key cog.

I've known for weeks that he had little substance behind the clichés, and the interviews exposed this nicely.

I really liked Jamie and thought he justified getting to the last three, hope he does really well.

Although presentational style is important, it is surely far more important to pay attention to what is actually said. From Chris you always get a well-reasoned case. From Jamie you get absolute waffle. To suggest Jamie should have got to the final over Chris is the most absurd statement I've read on this forum. Jamie, like Joanna, was so far out of his depth last night that I seriously have to question the process leading up to the semi-final. I think Liz and Paloma would have made far more credible interviewees.

Glad I'm not the only one who's mystified about this. Furthermore I can't believe Joanna was fired before him.
He was (and is!) a toadying gobsh!te AFAIC - right from the word go! |

It was Joanna that was the gobshite. Most undeserving 'with regret' in series history.

Joanna has been one of the most well liked candidates in the history of the programme with only a tiny (but often very vociferous) minority bucking the trend. |

Crap!
I'm not really a Jamie fan, he was a nice enough fellah Can't the same about Joanne, who was a rude, obnoxious little madam. She put on this 'Jo the cleaner' crap act to get an easy ride from the interviewers and that did for her. The crocodile tears did nothing for me when I think of how she put Laura, Jamie and indeed whatshername who got fired in week 2 through hell. |
