On the contrary, I think Sugar respected the blagging.

His team won by total luck this week. No sales to two gyms then the third one picks it for something they didn't even think of. Retro was a horrible, cheesy idea, but then horrible and cheesy are what Stephen does best I suppose. And why hula hoops? You don't actually need a hoop to do the moves, and it takes up more floor space per customer.

But it did give me the biggest laugh of the night, Azhar's face wearing those tiny shorts.

Horrible and cheesy is Great Britain 2012.

Stephen knows the market.

He's a bit of an Alan Partridge type IMO. But that's quite amusing to watch, more entertaining than Jade or Adam.

He's has a good way of hiding/wriggling free from when things go wrong a la the £2.00 space hopper and that is a rare quality so he will probably do well. People with expressionless faces tend to do better in life because they appear blank when they should look guilty. This, incidentally, is why so many women get Botox (joke).

I am really waiting for Jade to do something good. She's so invisible.

I agree, apart from occasionally smirking or sneering at the others she doesn't say much, which keeps her out of the picture I'm guessing.

She has a lush voice. Very nice indeed.

He was an awful PM and was lucky he didn't lose, if he had, his spacehopper idea would have got him fired for sure

I'd disagree, she isn't shown a lot but she always appears to be praised for working hard and she did design the bags in Week 1 which were excellent, I think she was one of the largest sellers on her team last week also?

I'm waiting for her appearance on YF when they morph her into Marge Simpson

He is an odious, scheming, deluded, inept moron!
Funny, I haven't seen any of this. None at all.

He comes across as one of the most likeable ones to me.

The funniest thing ever! Such a cruel edit, but I loved it.
Typical sales guy - overconfident, no skills apart from "the gift of the gab" which he would probably credit himself with, and even that I would disagree with. Total ******.

Can't you see that they guy is a dispenser of top quality steaming excrement?

The guy manufacturers industrial quantities of the stuff even when he isn't attempting to disguise his stupidity, and when he does feel exposed the material gushes at life-threatening rates of stuff that is truly odious. How the guy can live with himself defies understanding. Does he know what he is doing ? Or has he somehow compartmentalised that part of his character as somehow not attributable to him, or somehow not subject to the usual moral standards?

The people he pitches too should be issued with gas masks.

I plead with you that you never accept a once in a lifetime deal being offered to you by a nice salesman, however nice you perceive him to be. You are sales fodder of the most vulnerable kind.

I am currently suffering from hysterics as Stephen chose to follow up my comments with a stunning performance in yesterday's programme about street food which seemed intent on confirming all of my analysis his worst traits, and then some.

What a hose of excrement that guy is, and then he chose to throw in some downright lies and diversionary antics that have rarely been bettered.

If he thinks that he can disguise his woeful lack of talent from the viewers, he is in for a nasty shock.

Definetely! He's a sneaky little schemer and was telling lies in the boardroom! Even Katie said so on You're Fired. He wasn't being honest. Disgusting little man!

At then at the end of the show when they came back from the boardroom he was saying to Adam 'let's move on, yeah?'. The look on Adam's face! He should have slapped him in the face!

Me neither, from the first episode I thought he was one of sanest, making sound judgments and getting on with things when others wasted time bickering.

Now that I've seen more of him, I think he plays a clever game and is a strategist, but I haven't seen any scheming from him other than speaking his mind in the boardroom in this episode to prevent himself from being in the firing line. Nothing wrong with that.

Some good comments and selling do not compensate for clear cut examples of deliberately telling lies (food at £8 or £4 ?). If someone won The Apprentice and then lied to cover their back and put someone else in trouble, the Job Centre may be their next port of call.

lol Katie saying the other candidates refer to him as Inspector Gadget.
I won't be looking at him the same way again.
