I like how he's competent but also very passionate and enthusisastic and isn't afraid to say how he feels like to Leah in the taxi lol

I like Alex. He lets you know in no uncertain terms that he disagrees with a decision but he does not try to undermine it: rather he does his damndest to make the best of what he sees as a bad job.

I am still frightened by his eyebrows. But otherwise I like him thus far.

He certainly has his moments, but the way he gets very worked up and sometimes aggressive makes it difficult for me to warm to him. I do look forward to hopefully seeing more of his funny side though.

Alex is beginning to get on my nerves. Can be quite aggressive.

I like the way Jason bumbles about though. There's a charm about him. But he's pretty hopeless at negotiating and sales

Enough said!

When he's funny, he's funny. When he's spiteful? Unpleasant. He also has a very low opinion of women in general, which makes me dislike him a bit. Same for Neil (and the thankfully departed Zee).

Such a drama queen, though. Predicting the worst while waving his arms around dramatically. Now that he does it every week, it gets on my nerves.

I can forgive him that. He's under pressure, but knows the show must go on.

He does make me laugh, comes out with the best lines this year. "Will you be quiet, you silly sh*t?!" Shades of 'Baggs the brand', who I also liked.

I like him, it will be interesting to see him as PM, I think he will get down to the final 4, then it will go on his Business Plan.

When has he been spiteful or sexist? Not saying that he hasn't been, just that I haven't really noticed that. Specifics?

To each their own but I can't stand him.

Firstly, the eyebrows.
Secondly, he bitches more than a whole collection of Louisa and Natalie's when he is in the back of the car. I am sick of it now. Wish Leah would have gone through the phone and slapped him one.
Thirdly, he is very arrogant and I can't stand that.

Other than that, he is lovely.

I'd say Luisa is probably most entertaining, not a nice personality at all but great to watch. Jason is probably 2nd most entertaining for me.

He's only 22, which I think shows sometimes in his 'moments' in the car.

Apart from that, I'm enjoying him as a contestant who seems both competent and entertainment.

He's a mix of being good on tasks and an entertaining character onscreen.
I certainly didn't think his edit would have been as positive as it has been. I mean even the times he's got annoyed at someone and used that big boorish voice, he's usually in the right.
I didn't like it when he had a go at Jason with Zee, but again that was more about how incompetent Jason was being.

I think I had a slight man crush when he was in Dubai and dismissed someone pushing viagra to him by saying, "I don't need viagra, I'm Welsh!"



Next week he looks like a date from hell.

Alex is very entertaining and also quite enthusiastic. I like the way he always lets everyone know what he is thinking. Glad LS saved him.
Natalie was unfairly sacked in my opinion, she was used as a scapegoat. I hope her business does well.
Jason, Alex, Luisa and Miles are my favourites left in the process. Jordan got away with not selling compared to Luisa and LS barely mentioned that because they were on the winning team.
I think Jordan or Francesca could be a gonna if they are on the losing team next week.

OMG ! Also was it Francesca or Leah who tried to kiss a total stranger?
I got the impression from the clip that LS was so livid that he sacked someone before he even separated the teams out. Please god it wasn't Alex. The show won't be the same without Alex.

Alex is good TV, but has very little chance of winning.

Whilst Jason get's a lot of love on here (and rightly so) due to him being a loveable, cuddly harmless 'tickety boo' toff of a man, for me Alex is by far the most entertaining.

I have actually laughed out loud at some of the comments he comes out with this series . Combine this with his completely OTT delivery, and this guy is TV gold.

Agreed. Alex and Leah are equally strong-minded and potentially capable; Alex is the one who does the swearing and shouting. However, on DS - as in the world, often, sadly - the man gets kudos for his determination where the woman is a 'sour faced bitch'.

*sigh*
