I felt a tiny bit sorry for Susan when everybody decided to gang up on her mid-task, but I could understand their frustrations. She'd bigged herself up but transpired to be a poor saleswoman. Shoppers coudn't get away from her shrill voice fast enough.

Abit like people believing in the Rapture being peed off because God didn't send them off to heaven and them being angry at Camping IMHO.
They were sheep with no clue, blaming the shepherd. |

Someone isn't pulling their weight, you tell them no point leaving it to the board room and say it then, it makes that person look weak. |

End of the day, Susan was at fault big time and would have gone had their team lost. Think about this, someone who has a background in this field offers at every chance to have her say in it only to find out she hasn't got a clue, you wouldn't employ that person at all. The Project Manager did the right thing every time, the first telling her how much she wanted was way over the top (proved to be correct) and that she made a mess and really rather than complain about it, should have fixed the problem (which she didn't).

Susan made a big mistake but she is sweet, and only 21. I hope she does better next week.

Susan is a liability, and she should have admitted she was in the wrong. This will be a good lesson for her (if she's not too stubborn and immature to learn from it). |

You're right I guess. I just found the scene in the shopping centre a bit ugly. I'm too soft for my own good!

And I don't agree that Susan wasn't pulling her weight, if by that you mean she was lazing around. She seemed to be doing all she could to sell. She didn't lack motivation. Telling her to try harder wasn't going to work. What might have helped was talking to her in a more positive way, try to find out what was different about her business where she was successful, and see if they could replicate that. Pull her off sales for a few moments and give her a chance to think, without having to be defensive about it. I don't want to be too negative about Zoe because I thought she did well on the task and nobodies perfect. But it's hard to see what she was achieving other than venting her own frustrations and fears, and pinning a big "board-room fall-guy" label on Susan for everyone else to see. |

Susan acted very babyish. I have gone off her and wouldnt trust her with 250k. How she has succeeded till now we will find out in the interviews. Something just doesnt seem right with her.

My main problem with Susan is that she wont admit when she's made a mistake. Not sure if this is her game plan or she genuinely doesnt think she made a mistake but either way it will come back to bite her in the arse! If she wont admit to mistakes in the boardroom and outright deny them Lord Sugar (and the other contestants) will be down on her like a tonne of bricks. And more generally, in life she needs to own up to mistakes in order to learn from them and improve her buisness.
