Why did he say "what was all that about with Rebecca?" To me it seemed like the other women were bitching and sniping at her (to be absolutely fair I only watched from about halfway through this episode though) but she seemed like she was simply defending herself, it was the other ones that were "telling tales" as in Lord Sugar's words

Wow I definately didn't see her getting bullied.

Does anyone else think that she looks like Charity off of Emmerdale?

I know, it's hardly her fault if certain others don't want to get on with her. I'm sensing quite a nasty mentality from the likes of Luisa and Uzma (who I liked in Task 1). I guess we'll see what happens.

I think Uzma is good, but she was pissed off that Rebecca was chosen ahead of her to lead the sub team and it showed. Luisa is a boardroom dodger, contributes little to tasks but 'supports' her losing team leader to stay out of the boardroom. The 'support' also allowed her to make out Rebecca to be a baddie for 'trying' to blame Tim (when the failure of the task was clearly his fault).

The women are ganging up on Rebecca, especially Luisa and Uzma (?). I've come to like Rebecca actually.

No, I agree. It seems certain other girls have taken against her..,. she seems relatively competent, where others are slightly... shall we say... airheaded... and seem bitter about this...

Of course she isn't being bullied, I think people simply struggle to express themselves on forums, or are a bit silly and don't understand what bullying is.
She is strong and collected and some of the tarty fishwives feel threatened so they are playing the game by trying to get her fired.
Alan Sugar was simply alerting her to rise above it. And she heard him,

I think so too lol...I still feel a bit sorry for him, though. He's obviously clueless.

He is certainly trying to put others down and he is lucky Zeeshaan didn't chin him.

I like Rebecca.
It's the old cliche of the other girls feeling 'threatened' by her because they sense she will be a good candidate.

He certainly is, but they make themselvws look rude amateurs when they do it in front of potential customers.

Yup, so best way is to try and demean her and dismiss her. As Rebecca said herself, there's a group of four of them in a little clique at the moment who all feel a bit "threatened".


(having experienced bullying for about 3 years, I'm all too aware of how the ostracising tactics start).

I think some of the other girls are feeling insecure about Rebecca's abilities as she is proving to be a strong candidate so far. Uzma in particular, is feeling very threatened by her. I don't feel sorry for Rebecca though - I think she'll hold her own very well.

I agree with you but did feel sorry for her. As strong as she manages to come across, she did look visibly upset after the girls ganged up on her in the boardroom.

Agree with this, the tarty fishwives (love that phrase, btw!) see her as a threat and are just ganging up to get rid of her. AS knows this now, and I think she's a strong enough character not to let them bother her to be honest.

Luisa seems to be the worst, she seems a nasty piece of work.

It was mainly the two that looked like each other (and Uzma, to a lesser extent.) In the cafe one of them was propely laying it on thick saying "Don't blame Tim for all of it just because he was the PM" whilst staring right at her. I think that's when Rebecca said something like "I'm not going to accept the blame for something I didn't do."

I like Rebecca. It'll be interesting to see how she copes with the harpies.

I can't believe how LS is essentially advocating bullying...because 'it's business'. Awful man....this show is by far the worst series yet...I'm finding myself not wanting to waste an hour of my life each week with it.
