I thought Gabrielle was pretty useless myself. She had the idea that she was the best woman for the job, but only paid attention to one part of it .. design. You can have the best design in the world, but if you don't buy and sell at the right price there's no point.
I also thought she was going to spontaneously combust in the boardroom. Too emotional to get very far. |

Yes, and the lack of sales, which I said. I said "as much as", which isn't actually stating one more than the other or the specifics of the greater or lesser degrees. It's just GENERALLY saying it was both without the specifics which you seem to have added yourself. So YES it WAS the lack of sales as it WAS the pricing because it was the combination of BOTH. The degrees of what was MORE the fault is what you added yourself but not what I was stating myself otherwise I could have written out all the fancy figures like you did too. But I didn't, because I was't looking to get in to a mathematics lesson. So what I said was NOT entirely wrong because I wasn't being specific of saying it was sales that lost them the task as you mis-read as being expressed.
*And the fact that we don't have figures for this means that we can't draw any conclusions about it at all. For all we know, the boys sold less in terms of volume than the girls did. All we know is that both had stock left over. |

She seemed alright until she started doing that scary thing with her mouth while shouting down Biliyana. Looked like she was about to regurgitate something. Not pretty at all.

She looked like she was having a nervous breakdown in the boardroom. Has anyone ever gone that over the top before?
I was surprised at how hot-tempered Gabrielle was, though. I didn't think she was the type to do it in front of Sugar. She seemed to be truly angry at Bilyana. Took Bilyana's criticisms too personally, perhaps? Weird as Katie made the same criticisms but Gabrielle didn't react angrily this time. |

She looks a lot like Michelle Rodriguez, that was my first thought.

Gabrielle came across as quite naive to me. Sensitive and sweet, but it seemed like that was the first ever confrontation she has had in her life. In the boardroom she stumbled, stuttered and was quite flustered and shouty. I think she has come from a sheltered background and is not street wise at all, it won't be too long before she is in a heap crying in the corner. I don't think she will handle the pressure and could possibly be the next to go.

She did nothing but assert herself, Sugar can't take it
She was entirely defensive and semi hysterical. |

Yes, there were some who blew up like that in previous series.

She's calculating!! Knew that Bilyana was burying herself in the deep do-do, and used it to her advantage by 'shouting' at her and not Katie who knew that B's goose was well and truly cooked when AS finally fired her!!

I also thought she was going to spontaneously combust in the boardroom. Too emotional to get very far. Her shouting in the board room was embarassing, she completely lost control and begging prove herself again by being PM seemed desperate and weak considering she was the only one to have been given that opportunity out of the girls so far. As annoying as she was, I think bilyana should have been given another chance, whereas Gabrielle had her chance and failed. |
