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.

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.
