The 4 Mouthy Ones v The 4 Safer Quieter ones
Time for another division of the 8 left.
You have the mouthy ones Jim Natasha Zoe Melody Safer Quieter ones Helen Tom Leon Susan (probably) I get the feeling he will hire from the safe bottom section although I prefer watching the top section as a viewer and would love those 4 in the interviews but I don't think it will happen sadly But please can we have a boardroom with 3 or the top 4, the boardroom door would blow off its hinges

I wouldn't really consider Melody 'mouthy.' Then again, we've never really seen her in the firing line as of yet, so I guess time will tell.

Well, not being mouthy and annoying is definitely a good thing.
They have just as much, if not more going for them and they aren't irritating with it. Result. |

For someone who isn't considered "mouthy", it's Susan's voice I seem to hear most week in week out.
Melody started off as mouthy but has become virtually invisible lately. Natasha is mouthy, but without managing to say anything particularly intelligent. And Jim, well despite his faults, I could listen to him talk all night.He can be as mouthy as he wants!

I think that's mainly the editing. I'd bet Melody is a little bit louder than Susan. Susan is a bit more reserved, but she was on the losing team so got more of the edit. I've not really seen Susan start any arguments- she tends to mostly be responding to attacks from other people- usually Zoe, who for some reason appears to hate her guts!

Zoe is very straightforward and seems to appreciate this quality in others. Twice now, Susan has fibbed in the boardroom (once when she tried to wriggle out of the claims she made about how much beauty product she thought she'd be able to flog, and secondly about how she put herself forward for the pitch tonight when in reality she opted out straight away) - and I think Zoe gets wound up by this.
They think they all have to go in there all guns blazing and Susans more reserved approach annoys them- especially when she ends up being right- which has happened time and time again. |

It just seems to come from nowhere and I fail to see any business skills she might have because of it (and it WILL continue). There are better ways to deal with a nagging child (Brrr....the thought of Zoe and children ).

I don't see it that way. I see it as a lot of strong, pushy characters picking on the quiet, more intelligent girl, who usually ends up being right and who they then end up resenting for it.
Seriously - how does he propose that a girly sounding person is meant to be able to force her views on others when the likes of Zoe will just bulldoze her out the way? She had another dig at Susan in the cafe today I notice too. It always fascinates me when Sugar goes on about people needing to do this. When he talks about how "Age/looks etc aren't relevant 'cause I did blah blah blah when I was 17" it's not a comparable situation 'cause he was a young man; but it's very difficult for an overly feminine-seeming young female to command respect. People do react to other people's physicality at the end of the day. |

Yes that's how I read it too. Jim tonight even resorted to calling her a 'meek little mouse' which isn't on at all. Susan is right about a lot of things and they can't stand it - she comes across as one of the most intelligent candidates this year. Not sure how she's supposed to go forward now that she has been given this warning though because whatever Sugar says about her needing to push herself forward, it's nigh on impossible to MAKE people respect you if they just don't because you're small or have a little girly voice or whatever.

And yes, you're right. Sugar will criticize people for things they can't even control. If they don't respect her, they don't respect her. It's all ok though because he was way better than all of them when he was 17, obviously (we can never hear that enough |

Is it just me, I don't feel that any of the candidates are particulalry mouthy. I tend to think of mouthy as a trait which involves just sounding off all of the time and thinking their opinions are right (even if wrong or not even asked for). In the past peole like Debrah springs to mind and another girl that I can't remember the name of. Syed talked too much but he was more a waffler than a mouthy type person.
I don't find Tom, Helen, Susan or Leon quiet at all. I think their level of chat and the volume of it is just...., normal. And I don't view Melody, Zoe or Jim as mouthy either, to me they seem to talk when need be. I wonder if the annoyance of Melody's voice is being mistaken for her being mouthy? Jim' isn't mouthy, he just talks BS sometimes. With Natasha, she also talks cr** sometimes and her constant, yep, yep, yep, yep.. line is so annyoying!!!!!!! |

On the second, we didn't see her put herself forward for the pitch, but given that the rest of the team eventually grudgingly admitted that she had, I think we must assume this did happen but wasn't shown. They, on the other hand, were definitely liars because they claimed that she hadn't said she didn't like the name Hip Replacement, or if she had had only whispered it. In fact, we know she said this very clearly, and I'm irritated that Nick wasn't seen to step in on that, as he did when Jim lied about Susan's comments about his (lack of) negotiation and her insistence they should be prepared to reduce their price. |

Or when she told Jim he should discount, after the first pitch. He disagrees, but she gets to make her case, and then in the second and third pitches he does discount. On that occasion she argued with passion, and she was listened to. That she was right about discounting helped. With the name, it's not clear she was right because they'd already gone through scores of names and really had nothing else, and they had to move forward, and Susan didn't have a better name. Had they stuck with Zoe's title design and had a better photo, I think the name would have worked "ironically". |

So that was two key factors that would definitely have worked in their favour and one maybe - but I agree that, for the name, she didn't come up with anything better. |

She also argued with Glen that one of the more action oriented shots would be better but he was having none of it.

Several people have said this. When did it happen?
I can only assume you watched a different edit because it was quite clear she was unhappy with the direction he was going. |

When she was shooting the photographs.
I can only assume you watched a different edit because it was quite clear she was unhappy with the direction he was going. The photoshoot is from 17:01-18:13. Now, it's clear (from what she says to the models) that Susan wants them to show more activity and spontaneity, but I can't see her actually raising this with Glenn at all, never mind arguing with him over it. I've said it before (when sticking up for Susan) that she has the right instincts, but, too often, dosen't have courage of her convictions. |

I think that I, (and evidently some others) got the impression that there was some disagreement there because Glen seemed to want to hurry Susan up and she seemed intent on finishing her actions shoot. That and the fact that she was evidently going for something involving plenty of action and Glenn was just rejecting them one after another. Then Susan says she had no part in selecting the shot. (But does not specifically say her view was disregarded.) It's fascinating that that somehow translated into a false memory of an actual spoken disagreement. |

I won't disagree that Susan is often right, but saying she can't help it if people ignore her or disrespect her is a cop out. You can't control other peoples reactions to you, you can only modify your own interaction and leverage how people treat you as a result.
Susan isn't doing this and inevitably reverts to "that's so unfair!". Funnily enough she got Jim to stfu and made herself look good in the boardroom yet not doing this in tasks has probably made lordsralun wary of her. |

I also would not agree that Susan is quiet. Also although she seems to be often in the right, it is sometimes for fairly negative reasons - by her not agreeing with the others, rather than having a better idea. Nevertheless she has shown good business sense at times e.g. when negotiating on the canisters in the rubbish collecting task.
Nor do I think that Melody is particulary mouthy. If anything she has been disappointingly quiet recently after showing great potential at the start of the series. Generally I really dislike Zoe. Her reaction to Susan is very personal and vindictive although I don't think Susan is victim material, I think she is tougher than she seems. I'm not sure that Tom is safe. He just seems to be fairly ineffectual. Leon also . Jim is far too aggressive and manipulative. Natasha I'm not sure about - hated the magazine she produced this week Helen is good though, and seems to be quiet but competent. I like her and for me she seems to be the best. |
