Loved Harry H shooting down Harry M by saying "I'd have taken you back into the boardroom, you were the weakest one there"

I thought it was inappropriate at the house and quite unnecessary. In the boardroom yes, but not in front of all the others in the house. That was just a mean put down.

Depends on the context, there could have been banter before hand that we didn't see or a general conversation as to Harry M not going in and Hayley pointing out he'd lost every task.

True. I did think it out of character for H. I like the guy. I think M does well at selling, although I cringe whenever he approaches somebody and starts with "I don't suppose......". If somebody was selling me something and said "I don't suppose you would like to buy this would you?" I'd say "You don't suppose right! It's a closed question and just awful in selling or buying products.

it was rude and i thought it was bullying them all having a laugh at him

they werent on his team,they dont know if harry m deserved to go back to board room

harry h was an idiot there

I couldn't remember whether or not M was in the same team as H but of course he wasn't so who was he to judge how M performed?

Exactly

H was a massive prick at the end there.

Lol, couldn't have put it better myself

I'm hoping he falls off his pedestal. He hasnt been perfect in this process.

Ah there's another thread on this lol

I thought it was rather uncalled for. Leave the fighting for the boardroom I think. Anyone that takes it back to the house is just looking like a poor sport.
Harry H wasn't even on Harry M's team in order to make that judgement. I mean you've got to believe that Lizzie would have took Harry M in that boardroom if it would have benefitted her, obviously she felt it didn't.

Think they are rather intimidated by Harry M continued presence (the fact he won't go ), because they try to bring him down any chance they can, almost out of desperation.

Harry H is awful, dont fall for his nice guy act, i know his type.

Harry M is a great character full of energy and enthusiasm which is infectious. I like how he just brushes of people snide remarks too.

Good salesman and he has the ability to think outside the box! He was one of the strongest this week.

I'm suprised at all the anti Harry H sentiment today - I always had him down as one of the strongest in the show.
As for Harry M - he has undoubted strengths, but he is a very poor team player and a dreadful leader - its his way or the highway and he's not always right.
People have been mentioning Tom Pellerau's poor win record, but I think it significant that it was only at about week 9 that Tom was brought into a final BR, whilst Harry has been in twice already - which shows Tom's teammates didn't find him culpable, whilst Harrys have.

But there's less people in the younger version, so more chance of being pulled in.

Yeah, H saying that wasn't very nice. M may be annoying, but he isn't that bad really. I'm starting to like him.

I agree that Harry H is the strongest contender; indeed, I'm struggling to see who could beat him. Harry M was, as you say, a poor leader, refusing to listen or budge when given sensible advice. James is too disruptive and Zara has been labelled as "domineering" (funny how this is only considered a bad trait in females). Lizzie proved a weak leader in the latest task, and while Haya in many ways enhanced her position, she was quite disorganised and academic types like her aren't really Sugar's thing.

I think Harry H's comment came in the context of a discussion about the boardroom, and was fair enough in that context. I did feel a little for Harry M, though; he looked quite surprised and hurt (and I say that as someone who doesn't like him)

Expressing an honest opinion to someone is 'bullying'? Do people really have such thin skins these days?

Jesus...

But if you add it to Harry's overall treatment, it does amount to bullying, as all the candidates seem to be doing their utmost to rubbish him. They know he's intelligent and they see him as a threat.

I was a James fan at the start and I still enjoy watching his laid-back approach to things, but I've become a solid Harry M supporter now as I like to see someone triumph over adversity. Harry M won't win, but I hope he is at least in the final.

What 'overall treatment'? He's been on the losing team every time. One idea every episode does not a great businessman make. And when it's topped with the smug 'lord of the manor'; act, then no wonder he gets up people's noses.

If they'd all started shouting and screaming at him or completely ignoring him then maybe, but do me a favour! He is NOT being 'bullied'! Don't be pathetic.

If people on this forum think that's 'bullying' then how on earth do you survive in the big, bad old world out there? Run to social services every time someone says anything other than "You are brilliant and wonderful and so clever, darling?"

If you are acting like a nob, sometimes it does one's sense of self-awareness the power of good to be told so. Better that than be continually surrounded by sycophants who tell you you're faultless. Because nobody is.

I know perfectly well what bullying is thank you, having experianced a slice of it in my younger days. Its more than just being physically abused, or even verbally so. It's being ostracised, or spoken down to, or belittled - bullying can be subtle.

Usually, I would refute cries of bullying, and Harry M certainly has shoulders broad enough to shrug off the pathetic jealous comments of others, but all the little digs, all the moments where the room goes silent at the end when the loathed Harry M has seen off one of their pals...it all amounts to the same thing - persecution.

Given what you've said, you obviously don't!

I really hope that the posters on this thread are teenagers, otherwise the obvious crushes on Harry M on show are definitely verging on the creepy.

What has being the strongest candidate got to do with winning The Apprentice?

Strike that, reverse it.

I saw that as realistic banter. The point being that from a gameplay position HarryM was an obvious target having lost all previous tasks. I dont think the comment was intended personally ie it could have been said about anybody in the same position.

Obviously my personal view of a situation liable to many interpretations.

I agree with you, Eagle and appreciate your final sentence - a position which most sensible people would adopt.

Alas it seems that The Rhydler cannot bear other people to have alternative points of view to her own, so blinded is she by her crush on a teenage boy

Do what?

I have no amorous intentions towards Harry M, I'm a str8 male of 30, I'm quite offended by that implication!!

However, you're not too far from the truth regarding others silly views
