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.

I know what you said, and you were wrong. Even if they'd sold everything they still wouldn't have made as much money as the boys did, even though the boys didn't sell everything either.* So the sales were irrelevant, they lost the task because of the pricing.

*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.

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

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.

Funny that, as my very first thought upon seeing her was how much I thought she looked like America Ferrera.

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.

Looks the sort who would be ripped to pieces at the interviews

Well said, but got hysterical.

If only!

She was entirely defensive and semi hysterical.

I'm guessing she already hadn't liked Bilyana much during the task.

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!!

You were the one that mentioned figures in your post.

You have to read the entire sentence, rather than just reading the first half, bolding it, and then replying to that.

I wasnt impressed either and am surprised that she seems quite popular on here..im obviously missing something. The product was good but other than that I thought she was quite a poor leader. The products seemed too cheap, they could have got away with starting higher than that. London Zoo is not very near any highstreet, so if she wanted the girls to continue on selling elsewhere she should have seen that would waste time. I'm not sure why Bilyana got all the blame for that, a quick look at a map would have shown it is a at 10/15 min walk to camden or Primrose Hill and thats without carrying all the products. Also Camden is not any nearer so didnt understand the criticism, she went to the nearest shops.
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.
