Agreed. Susan had won as PM the previous task, and had never lost, where-as Zoe had been in the boardroom the previous task. Zoe didn't even have the "I stepped up" thing going for her because Lord Sugar had made her be PM.
It doesn't help that when Zoe was reprimanding Susan, it was for the wrong thing. Product sales weren't important. Arguably a better tactic would have been to pull Susan off product sales entirely and focus her on treatments in some capacity (either selling them or giving them). Telling Susan to sell more product, apart from the poor way she did it, was putting more focus on the wrong thing.
