Ahh shame. He was in the losing team too many times,
Young Apprentice...Week 5 Kids Club Task, BBC 1...Discussion, 8pm

David had no chance constantly brought in the boardroom when he shouldn't been because it was easy to make him an escape goat.
David fired!
Wrong decision LS!
Ashleigh brought David back deliberately, as I saw her smirk when LS started having a go at him!

Ashley's got to go!

Well he's from the same town as me apparently - Huddersfield.
But even I find Andrew's accent a bit strong. lol

Thanks. I think he seems like a decent person.
I don't find his accent too strong. Maybe I'd notice it more if I came from Huddersfield too.

Good point, and hope it's Ashleigh, as that would be justice!

I think you mean scape goat but I agree with you. Davids problem was that he wasn't as articulate as some of the others so they perceived it as a weakness.
Ashley should have been fired over him this week IMO.
We're on Goodnight Britain now (it followed Young Apprentice) which is about sleep apnoea where you actually stop breathing for a while when sleeping. Programme said it can be fatal. My wife said "You do that too". I was shocked - I know I snore but didn't know it's so bad that I stop breathing. I need to see the doctor.
My wife then added "...when I put a pillow over your head".

I don't think David being articulate or not is really the issue here...he was the best he's been this week, but overall the worst candidate on the losing team.
I think bullying was rewarded as they all turned on David partially because he is not good at standing up for himself. He was the best of their team this week but was unfairly singled out all the time. But then kids (which these contestants still are) always turn on the most vulnerable.
Ashleigh is aggressive and was just copying an idea she had seen during the task. She tried to blame others on dropping the recycling part of her idea which was again clearly her decision. Then she said she did not deserve to be in the bottom 3 out of 4 when she was the leader and then says she has the most common sense. Go figure! The monetary difference between her team and the winning lot was so astronomical she should have been fired. A travesty.

He has been weak but there has been a sense of blaming him for things even when it has been nothing to do with him. Ashleigh's time as PM and she lost by a colossal amount.

He seemed to think he was an energetic chirpy chappie to disguise what he was really like. I don't see that.
We have no idea if this is a Sugar curveball - trying to disguise his true opinion - or a tactic to make Andrew give more, or if Sugar means what he says. If Sugar truly disliked Andrew he could have got rid of him this week, knowing that he could've fired David when he's in the boardroom next week. Oh, come on! We know!

I was surprised Lord Sugar turned on Andrew and was a bit mean to him because I thought he had pretty good so far and he seems OK to me. You may be right that he was trying to keep Andrew on his toes and to push him to do better

Thanks. I get the impression that he's a decent young man.
And we know that Sugar never takes on anyone who has a number of enemies amount the candidates - Sugar doesn't like people who don't get on with others, even if to us it's the latter's fault. Andrew seems to be jovial, gregarious & makes good contributions to the tasks.
Also, Sugar didn't say he had a problem with Andrew. He said he asked himself if he (in effect) had a problem with him. Could well be a red herring to disguise him liking Andrew, or to say "Don't think it's in the bag, young man - show me what you're made of. If you're a star, shine".
Andrew's a deserving contender in my opinion. Good luck to him.
