Why do people feel the need to spoil things for others ?

Do they get some sort of thrill out of it, or do they just have a burning desire to impart their knowledge ?

It really grinds my gears.

Please put your information in spoiler tags. It's not that difficult to manage.

Spoilers should result in an automatic ban.

He is now head boy in the house, most will be far too scared to bring him back inot the boardroom anytime soon, the only way he'll be in the boardroom in the next few weeks is as loosing PM.

Masterful performance by Jim”

Basically exactly, are you sure?

it was daft to consider bringing Jim back in - no way would LAS get rid of a strong candidate in such circumstances. Jim actually helped the process by saying what he did. how often has a PM made the mistake of not bringing in the candidates that the board want in there?
Jim was entirely within his rights to say WTF?

If you watch the scene again, it's quite telling from LS reaction, the raised eyebrows, the wry smile, that he thought Jim's responses were impressive. I doubt I've ever seen LS react in that way before.

- got out of the boardroom
- stop any protest about it in its tracks
- exposed Leon as weak to both the team and LAS
- kept calm, cool, never bitchy or agressive just very assertive.”

Spot-on analysis. I'll be gobsmacked if Jim's not in the running at the end

Looks like he is ls living up to my estimations from 3 weeks ago when I started this thread. Nasty piece of work at best.

Nasty for what???? As far as im concerned he didnt say "Vincent you take me in you're dead". Vincent choose not to take him he just defended himself like any GOOD Apprentice contestant would.

Jim is a supreme manipulator of other people - as such he is probably a very successful businessman.

Personally I find him odious.

Alan Sugar is exactly the same as Jim. Don't be fooled by thinking Jim is on the way out and that Lord Sugar would have fired him. The editing on the show is more manipulative than any of the candidates and Lord Sugar's comments are carefully scripted for effect.
Jim will be there at the end IMHO.
