Jordan's short with everyone.
Mostly when their out of ear-shot though
Don't you just love it when the subtlety of a quip sails so far over someone's head.

Must happen to Jordan all the time.

Neil has been growing on me, but so has Jason. Neil should watch out or it could be his undoing.

It's really annoying hearing them all say he is useless and doesn't contribute, but they are so quick to give him the jobs nobody else wants, like peeling potatoes.

I was glad to see him do well this week

I think some of the others have been short with Jason at some point. Zee. Alex.

He seems OK. Not incompetent otherwise he would not have sold today.
I'm afraid most of them treat him like a child, even Rebecca .
I could see in that exibition hall its easy for Jason to get side tracked with not the best items . Jason thought the electric bikes not a good idea.

Jason is not a hard nosed business guy like the others, he's more an academic, more suited to University teaching.

Neil was quite rude about Jason before the task when talking to the camera, he soon shut up when Jason sold a caravan first. But yes I would find Jason very hard to work with, he plays the bumbling 'Englishman" very well. I wonder what that women said to him in his ear?
Come up and see me sometime .

If Jason sold one caravan then neil sold two since they sold three in total, but the edit plays up to the cameras.

Neil dragged Jason through the task tonight; Jason's a lovely person but he's one of the luckiest candidates ever to take part in the show. I think Neil was close to strangling Jason a couple of times tonight and, frankly, I couldn't blame him.

But at the same time, I think Neil quite likes Jason and his shortness went over Jason's head. Personally, I think they should be spin off staring just those two - 'The Odd Couple'.
Ha ha, love that idea. Yes, Neil was carrying out the brief in his solid, unimaginative way, collecting data to allow him to crush the other team. Jason was playing like a kid in a toyshop, with no idea of why he was supposed to be there. It's like 'bring your child to work day' except they had no photocopying to give him.

When Lord Sugar has to praise someone for selling something after seven tasks it isn't exactly a sign of business acumen. I wouldn't blame the others for being a bit put out that someone who's been hiding for so long gets slapped on the back while those who have shown a more ability (not a lot, admittedly) have been grouped with the rest.

As a person, Jason seems really nice but when they've got targets to meet I can't blame the others for getting a bit edgy. In the great scheme of things I thought Neil could have been a lot worse tonight - indeed, I think he would have been worse in the first few weeks; he has mellowed a bit.
Yes, I found the personal praise most disconcerting, very out of character for Sugar.

Neil and Jason are both on an upward curve but Neil even more so, having been identified these past two weeks as the crucial factor in two successive wins for two different teams.

Jason needs to consolidate his success. Neil already has.
