Too true Lord Sugar, she's a bully.

Alice is fired.

Oh no another week of gobalmighty.

Ah shame. Alice did lose the task but Maria should go for her aggression.

awww thats a shame was hoping it would be Maria

£16 for tea, what a mug.

I knew this would happen. Maria is TV.

I thought that was really wrong though.

Maria is complacent and unpleasant, and not good either.

Wrong move Alan!

Awww! I wanted Maria to go! Although, I have to admit, Alice was a bit quiet but I was really hoping Maria would go.

Go on LS..Maria should go...
and tension grows...


Alice fired!

another week of Maria....and he's keeping an eye on her, along with Vera Lynn....

I would have ignored them.

Right decision but I hope Maria goes soon.

Mad hatters won but Alice lost.

Next week - creating a kids' club for five to eight year olds.

This is more their age group.

Maria has got 9 lives too...

Kids' Club next week...or sounds like....another disaster methinks.

Thanks for you company folks, see you all again next week.

Poor Alice.

Should have been that hateful little shit Maria.

Maria seems popular with the others.

Although the candidates all seem to actually like eachother away from the tasks.

Noy! why not the oyrish "16 poynds" loyd moyth bint fired?

But if the Tea party had been in an ordinary park, she couldn't have charged that much, but as it was at a grand estate, then she was out to get as much as she could. Or she knew she could charge a lot, just a thought.

Rightio Annsy, will look out for your Thread Over to XFF now.

maria should have been fired cant stand her

Pretty happy that Alice has gone actually, I haven't forgiven her for being a complete bitch to Lucy on the cook book task.

I presume Maria is being kept in for the drama - no way in hell is she winning this.

Have only just caught up with tonight's edition (having watched Masterchef) but it's interesting seeing Maria in full flow again seeing as we've just used the altercation in the car from the cookery book week (when she basically told Sean to ignore the market research) as an example of someone dominating a conversation in our GCSE 'spoken language' unit at work!

None of the youngsters in our class watch YA, but as soon as they saw the clip of Maria they all said "what a b1tch"! I had to laugh - they had the measure of her straight away (but as a teacher I had to remain objective and serious!).

But Maria has not disappointed this evening either - she's rude, bossy, argumentative, full of her own importance and dominates conversations, only to deny any responsibility for this things going wrong.

Mostly, though, she's just RUDE! That girl seriously needs to learn some social skills!

I don't think Maria is that horrid. Just very loud, fast-talking and hugely opinionated. The kind that shrieks constantly when drunk at a party. She obviously can be quite gobby and defensive whenever she thinks she's in danger of being blamed. And when her head's on block, she goes in the Princess Diana mode (tilts head, puts on big doe eyes, brings up a hint of tears).

Her biggest weakness is that she's been mostly pessimistic about everyone's ideas, abilities, capabilities and performances. It could be her downfall some day.
