make his mind up? He didn't fire Jade, who was totally useless with that terrible fag voice, yet he fired devious looking Stephen for failing to contribute to the task. So let me get this straight: fag voice cocked up completely and was one of the worst PM's a few weeks' ago, was so indecisive, it was embarrassing, yet after Stephen does the same thing and even barrow boy reiterated: I'm basing this on the failure of this task, he goes. Well BB has really outdone himself this time. So it's clear that faggy is going to win. I thought, up until now, and after last year that the apprentice had been ruined by its new format but just when you can't think it can get any worse it does. Pull the plug after this one. If you are going to do it, do it right Sugar or at least be consistent. Boy, you must see pound signs in your eyes with her 'business' plan. Then again, the show is all about getting on if you're in the know isn't it Karren - writer of Strong Woman: a condescending account of how she has 'struggled' to juggle business with having kids, easily done when you've been given a chance, not worked for it ie working for the porn boys and secondly when you've got money to throw at the juggling. The show is now a joke and is not at all demonstrative of WORKING to get what you deserve. Listen to Brady and you'll believe that the harder you work, you'll get rewarded - what a crock of shite.

IMO youre being slightly unfair to LS. It was reasonable that Azhar was fired over Jade, he didnt contribute very much and instead of putting ideas and solutions forward to Jade, he just complained.

On the other hand, it would have been completely unfair if Ricky had been fired over Stephen this week!

Gabrielle was the one fired on 'lack of contrubution' grounds (which is weird, because Stephen actually said he was going to 'keep her on a short leash' or something earlier in the episode, which implied she didn't actually have room to contribute.)

Stephen was actually fired for not delivering on his promise to win the task, not on the grounds of what he did within task itself, although I would argue that he was the weakest of the three, and definitely should have been fired either way.

You can argue that Jade was stronger than Azhar that week, this week I can't see any logical/reasonable argument that would have allowed Stephen to stay. LS's decisions have been a bit of a joke this series, but the firings of Duane/Katie/Biliyana/Gabrielle all reflect that more than Stephen or Azhar going.
