Well, according to the polls Lord Sugar only got it right when he fired Michael in week 3. Which means that most people thought that in others weeks somebody else (including the PM) should have been fired instead.
And I would say that especially the very bad PMīs tend to avoid a firing (Simon from Series 3, Helene from Series 4, Stuart from Series 6 and Tom from Series 7). If you carry this forward into the process this year, Gaby, Adam and Jade will at least make it to the final five. ) and Adam should have been the only losing PM's IMO to have been fired. Maybe even with Ricky too.

I felt Helene was unlucky on the wedding task. Lucinda had Lee, who eventually won; Claire, who came second; and Raef, who was also pretty good (better than his placing suggests, in my view). Helene had Alex, whom I thought was rubbish and would have been fired on the first task had he not been PM; and Sara and Michael who were mediocre at best. Lucinda wasn't a great PM, but she had a much better team and so won. Helene wasn't great either, but I wouldn't say she was very bad.I thought Stuart Baggs was hard done by in the interview round. It amounted to character assassination. I think he's much better than popular opinion. I don't recall much of his PMing. He won as PM on task 7, and I seem to recall task 10 was lost because the other team made an extravagant deal which surprised a lot of people when it paid off. Tom I thought was a deserving winner. He lost as PM largely because Leon did virtually nothing (because he didn't speak French), and Melody seemed to go out of her way to sabotage the task. He let her market research override his intuition about the best products. Normally that would be rational and sane, and candidates have been fired for ignoring market research in the past, and as he didn't speak French himself he had no way of knowing how badly she'd stitched him up. I've left Simon 'til last because I personally prefered Naomi over him. I think he leaned too heavily on Tre. As I recall, he made some surprising product choices (eg, the wheelchair), but he'd thought them through and they paid off. I don't recall him being a terrible PM, and of course he did lead his team to victory on task 7. In summary, I don't agree the ones you mention were "very bad". Two of them were eventual series winners. |

Agreed, looking back I actually think that perhaps Laura (sadly
) and Adam should have been the only losing PM's IMO to have been fired. Maybe even with Ricky too.There's no way Ricky should have been fired as PM. Duane had screwed up the task and shown a total unwillingness to listen to other people's ideas. Laura (sadly for me too) should indeed have gone. I'm glad she didn't though! |

Nargis was a terrible PM on Series 2. She created a charity calender made of cats LOL
