What Do You Think?

He had to go: compared to the likes of Zara, he is a floundering child, inarticulate and hopelessly out of his depth in nearly all of the situations set before them. Classic scene was last week - all he was interested in was the view out of the car window.

The right person went, he looked like he was struggling with the process and couldn't keep up with the other candidates.

Haya wrecked the task she really hadn't got a clue....................except when it came to getting Lewis back into the boardroom as a scapegoat.

Lord S wanted Lewis in the boardroom last week when he told the group leader she had brought the wrong two back in and that's why he sacked her.Lewis had previously admitted he hadn't a clue with simple maths and demonstrated he hadn't a clue about communicating.
No chance of winning.

Unfortunately, although a lovely lad, he really showed his immaturity and lack of confidence. Up against the likes of Harry and Zara etc he really didnt stand a chance. Out of his depth. But, he will probably go along way in the future - just not this boardroom again.

That's a bit harsh, but perhaps fair. He's still young, but in terms of maturity a couple of years behind the others I think. He's learning to talk the talk, but hasn't yet learned enough about how to think the think that should go behind it. He's the right person to fire this week, but I wonder if he should have been on the programme in the first place. Most of the others look like they could be in with a shout, but he looked, as you say, out of his depth.

I thought the considerable misdirection about who was going to be fired a bit extreme and unfair. But perhaps this was due to editing, and the original conversation might have been different.

im not sure haya deserves much blame,she made a decision,she wanted the toaster over the pillow,what is so wrong about that?

she saw the toaster in action,harry saw the pillow,she had to make a decision so she went with the one she had seen,makes sense,if she hadnt and they still lost(whos to say pillow would have definetly won them the task?) then SAS would have ripped her a new one for not trusting her own gut feeling.

also toaster sold well,just not aswell as vaccum

I liked Lewis and will miss him and think the wrong person went! I wanted Haya to go!!!

She wasted the entire morning trying to sell the toaster because she tried to build a profit into an item which was already overpriced. Her "insight" into marketing to the elderly appeared to be that they value convenience over comfort (wrong) and that the older you get the more stupid you become at spotting value for money (wrong).

She was a disaster as a project leader and I suspect the only reason Lassie kept her on was because of the successful pitch she made a couple of episodes back.

you have to speculate to accumulate,it could have made them huge profit if people had still bought it above the reccomended RRP, to be thinking outside the box at young age is a good thing and would imagine SAS thinks that too deep down

The trouble is that the objective was not to make a profit it was simply to shift as many units as possible with the aim of generating the highest turnover in the period.

Common sense dictates that since none of the products were "Designer" brands or premium items a selling price closest to cost will generate the most sales. Consideration of profit in this task was a blind alley.

I'd love for someone (not sure who though, probably Amelia or Janet) to sing Heavy in Your Arms by Florence - as much as i hate the twilight series, the soundtracks for the films have some amazing songs!

X-Factor forum is that way >>>>>>

I cheered when he got fired. He was terrible. All over the place, babbled rubbish, inarticulate and at times, not very bright. Likeable but so slappable.

Did they miss out a bit of the edit? Suggs didn't actually say why he fired him. Though to be fair it would all have been pretty obvious reasons.

I liked Lewis! Pleasant lad. Never Lord Sugar's Young Apprentice, but a nice enough kid. If your heart didn't break a little every time he said he was responsible for a loss, you're probably a robot. q: Good work, Lewis Roman! It was grand knowing you.

James to win, then? Certainly to the final.

Ahh what a lovely post It is true, Lewis did own up at least.

Actually, I hadnt warmed to James at all before this week but leadership suited him. Indeed, certainly to the final.

Aww, no, I thought he was so sweet. I just wanted to give him a hug.

He kept repeating that as he thought it was a way of keeping himself in the show... you know like when a naughty kid gets caught, they think if they admit they did wrong, they won't get into any trouble at all.

But he isn't in primary school anymore, just don't think he had quite grasped that.

He was an immature little boy with a stupid haircut. When he tried to mimick Harry saying that thing about 'we'll see about that in the board room'. Putting on that stupid gay voice, he was just like a pathetic little child in a school playground. I so wanted one of the others to punch him in the face I actually found him that irritating.

Please remember these are only children trying to act all grown up.

I'm so glad he's gone! Although Haya messed up in that task, she's been great in other weeks (wasn't she the won who did the great pitch that won it for the girls in week 2?) and I think it was really Lewis' time too go

Do you realise how that sounds?

I thought it was a little ironic that he got fired in the one week where he didn't say in the boardroom that he was responsible for losing the task, but he should have gone last week so it's not really an injustice.
