Gotta admit I started singing that in my head when he said that!

Harry M to win and Zara to come second.

The laughing during the phone call on the girls team was disgusting and all responsible should have been fired.

I think Lewis knows Harry M is better than him and he can't compete, hence the attitude.

The laughing during the phone call was superb! I really respected Gbemi for that. She didn't lose her temper, she didn't panic, she didn't cry - she saw the funny side! That's a good response to bad news. The universe needs more people like that. Wisdom to accept the things you can't change, right there. Shit happens, but it's done! Let's roll with it. Brilliant.

I like Gbemi. She's very sincere. The polar opposite of Zara, I'd argue, who's quite pretentious and passive aggressive. Gbemi cut through the flowery explanation, but, in her defence, it was absolute nonsense. Needed cutting through! Not worked out how much of a business flair she has, yet - pitches certainly aren't her thing - but I hope she does well.

Is Harry M the one that looks like Matt Damon?

I think you're more likely thinking Harry H!

Harry M is the posh blonde one.

You don't know what it's like when you are sitting there with the cameras on you and Nick watching with a sarcastic expression and all of your team-mates willing you to fail. And nor do I - but I imagine they are under far more pressure than they realised when they applied. When I took part in school plays (many years ago, sadly) the pressure of being in front of an audience was something you could not imagine no matter how often you rehearsed.

Wow, I can't believe someone thought the exact opposite to me based on that footage! To me, Gbemi's laughter wasn't the laughter of acceptance, or making the best of a bad job, it was about ridiculing the other teammates and humiliating them in front of her cool pals (who happily joined in.) That turned me off her completely, and I see her more as aggressive-aggressive rather than passive-aggressive... and "blunt" is not the same as "sincere".

Not saying you're wrong BTW, I just picked up an entirely different set of cues... interesting.

Gbemi was TOTALLY using laughter as a tool to humiliate and bully there. That was when she and the other girls in the car with her stopped looking like young businesswomen and became immature schoolgirl bullies.

bullying my ar$e !!!

You've obviously never seen schoolgirl bullying then. Unless you literally mean that your ar$e was being bullied.

I agree entirely and when in the boardroom she had a mardy look when she realised that her pitching almost lost them the task and the fact that her team one was in no way due to her.

I couldn't believe it when she congratulated herself for "letting" someone else pitch. She was forced into it.

The boys had the better product. No wonder mothercare is going bankrupt and having to close shops with such buyers. Even LS thought it was good and couldnt fault anything at all of it.

I picked it up the same as you. Zara had a perfectly good explanation for her decision.

Yeah, it's weird, isn't it? Wonder what it is that makes something like that so subjective. Like you say, it's the difference between bluntness and sincerity. Maybe it's a side-taking thing - I certainly thought Gbemi was right when she said Zara should have checked with her, so perhaps I was predisposed to see things more from Gbemi's side and you more from Zara's?

Blah! Hard to say. I can definitely say that if I were faced with a problem that I had no power to change, I'd hope I'd have the wisdom to recognise that what's done is done, and the ability to see the funny side, but then that's just me. I guess it's different if it's someone else's funny mistake. 'Specially if they didn't see it as a mistake.

Two sides of the same coin! You could write essays on it. q:

There's 'seeing the funny side' and there's laughing in someone's (absent) face about what they've done as if they're the biggest moron in the world, and then making jokes at their expense about it. She didn't come across like "Oh well we're screwed but you've got to laugh". It was more like "Ha, I'm going to get you in the board room for this".

I agree with this! They were going along with Gbemi and when she stopped laughing, so did they.

I also have came to the conclusion that the girls are scared of Gbemi, the ones that were in the car with her started preaching "I think she'd be good in the pitch!" "She did well during that pitch!" when it was the complete opposite.

Also, when the girls started fighting over who would tell Gbemi the decision of her pitching all three organisations were bad.

These are just a few examples!
