You never know what you will get with these two, but you feel that they would be too much of a risk for LAS.

They would either piss the money up the wall or make millions.

A lot of safe hiding people still around

I really cannot stand Natasha, she is far too crude for my liking and so, so common. I think that she was very lucky tonight!

Jims team blew it tonight, they had the best concept but Zoes name was a disaster and Jims reluctance to cut his prices was the real reason they lost. I liked Jim to start with but I am now sick of him making excuses for himself and putting others in it when it is his own fault!

I am just so shocked that Jim got to stay, especially when it seems that Sir Alan has been gunning for him for awhile now. I honestly thought that he would have taken his chance and got rid of him this week!

Yes, she might have got a big deal of 60 grand but the other 2 did not like it at all. Like last week it was luck of the draw.

I think that Natasha is far too hard faced and definitely not Sir Alans type, well thats my opinion anyway!

Your right I think, the history shows he likes pretty safe people as winners, those two are not safe

Natasha's pretty bland. All I hear come out of her mouth is "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!" and she's obstinate and lucky.

It's quite fascinating watching Jim in action though, I'd like him to stay til the interviews, and think he will.

Yes, I totally agree about Natasha and there are a lot of things that I do like about Jim but I dont like the way that he turns everything on everybody else but himself in the boardroom and I think that this will be his downfall. Sir Alan does not like that side of him either and its obvious that Nick doesn't either. So I dont think that Jim will get to the final, but you never know!

Jim is incompetent and pig-headedly wrong about almost everything. He's also a name caller and a bully. His team lost tonight only because he completely refused to doscount his rate card at the first agency. Each agency actually picked his magazine as the winner, he won 2 out of the 3 rounds, the 2 where he offered a discount. It was his pig-headed stubborness that meant he earned not a penny from that meeting. Everyone knows that all agencies expect a massive discount even from a top publication. Even if he had discounted by more than 50% he would still have won because his total card cost was £103K, so he could sell the space out at £50K and come out the winner. He blew it. Then Sugar blew it by firing completely the wrong person - obviously the producers want Jim in the show because he's so aggressive, or passive-aggressive to coin a phrase.
