It's a shame Jenna has gone. She personally did really well even though she was in the losing team five times.
I don't think LS has got the firing order right in this series. Jenna did do a bit of silly advert but what did Stephen do? Why is LS hanging on to Stephen?

I was sorry to see Stephen remain at the expense of Jenna. Unfortunately she was too honest for this process - holding up her hands to her mistakes and failure to fight her corner in the boardroom is not a good strategy against some of the more forceful characters nor the slime that is Stephen.

I think she's just too ingenuous for the rat race that is the business platform of LS. I hope the future is bright for her.

Sugar is a chump: Jenna should have stayed and Steven fired - it was a no-brainer. I suspect he thinks the latter makes better TV but he doesn't as Steven is a loathesome maggot!

I really really warmed to her on You're Fired and think LS fired the wrong one there.

I found her very irritating in the first few weeks but have slowly really warmed to her. She seemed really lovely on your fired and I loved the little segment about her and Gabrielle. Having said that, I predicted her and Steven would go in the next two weeks because I think they are/were clearly the weakest two candidates, so if she didn't go this week it seems pretty likely she'd of been for the chop next. I still think Steven should of gone tonight though.

None of that team should even have been in the board room, the other team did not get the brief. it was tantamount to Sid saying "go and buy me a horse" Tom's team coming back with a pig and Ricky's team coming back with an old nag and Sid saying "you lose because your horse is rubbish and theirs is a fine pig"

Madness

I really like your analogy.
Good one.

You have a point but you can't simply go on shouting mea culpa. The 'mistake' was infantile. The video was terrible but that wasn't the point. LS put his finger on it when he said that he was firing her because she had failed to understand the product and the product brief. For me that called in to question her marketing expertise.

Me too. Seeing this and their great love for each other, which we would have no idea about if it wasn't for You're Fired, makes you realise the great swathes of film material about the candidates they have in the can but which we never see.

She should not have gone. She was such a down to earth girl who got pushed back by the loud gobby ones.

Mind you, Shugs tends to like the loud obnoxious ones. I am sure Jenna will do good with whatever she does.

What happened there?

I was sure Paace's post count was 5 999.
Am I going mad?

Although I liked her, I feel she was absolutely the right person to go.

Their campaign was very strong (as we see from their presentation to the industry experts) and would have easily beaten Tom's team, until their ad single handedly tanked it for them.

And like it or not, Jenna's finger prints were all over that ad to a much greater degree than Stephen's.

And although we can all see what a douche bag Stephen is, this has probably not come across to Shuggs. His record on paper is excellent (win as PM/high no of task wins/hasn't been in the boardroom until now).

So I agree with her firing sadly. Hopefully our consolation will be seeing Stephen lose as PM next week (after which he will almost certainly be fired).

A bit rich from someone who hails from East Sussex.

You must be confusing East Sussex with Essex.

I'd begun to like Jenna in recent weeks, but she ballsed up the wine video completely. Stephen's cheesy ideas didn't help but the appalling video was mostly Jenna's idea. Sadly she had to go. Stephen is directly in the firing line this week as PM.

My guess is that is why Lord Sugar fired her! It would drive him mad listening to that awful sound every day

Absolutely not!

This woman is from Portslade, can't get much more East Sussex than that.

Portslade is not typical of East Sussex (it's on the West Sussex border for a start) and that accent is not typical of Portslade. I've lived in the area for many years and I've never heard anyone speak like that, or as annoyingly as Jenna come to that.

The higher they fall from, the harder they hit the ground...that is all.

Pity Jenna went last week - The Sanctuary deal was right up her street.
