I do feel sorry for her. Luisa would have looked after her more if they had been on the same team more often

Not at all. She deserved to go. About time and all.

The waterworks didn't work for her this time either.

Maybe she can go back to CandyFloss and sing songs.

Really. I thought that Natalie was out of her depth and hasn't shown enough to qualify her to stay.

Didn't really see the point of Natalie, she didn't seem to do much of anything in any given task.

Think she would have been happier on Big Brother.

Maybe she went to the wrong auditions and they were on at the same time

She just told Dara on the spin off show that she wears high heels for 'comfort' ... she's making a bit of a fool of herself all-round really

No need to fire two though, and there was no reason this week after Lord Sugar had told Kurt to bring people back on this task. She sold more than Kurt or Myles, she was less responsible for not geting the products they wanted than Leah, and Alex and Kurt made the fatal product choice. Myles has a PM win , but this confirmed the suspicions then about his ability to buy/sell which seems crucial to his proposal. If he wants to fire two this week, its just not going to be Alex - so it would have been whoever else who was brought back with Kurt.

I disagree, plenty of women find heels more comfortable. Depends what you are used to/like.

She came across well on YF but I think it was her time to go, she was being carried by the others and had been for a couple of weeks IMO. Nice girl though.

No - they all know what they're in for in this programme. I bet she wouldn't give a damn if you were stood there in tears in front of her. That's the sort of people they are.

I think Leah can consider herself very luck this ep, she survived by being 'eye candy' - in the eyes of Kurt at least.

They lost the task because they failed to get the products they wanted - the main responsibility for that was down to Leah.

No. She seemed to 'disappear' on tasks and surface in the boardroom. I disliked her boardroom behaviour and what I saw as her emotional manipulativeness.

Flat shoes are out if you’re used to wearing high heels. The muscle and tendon are stretched beyond their normal range of movement and the foot needs the lift of a heel to compensate. Natalie was correct.

I am sure nuts will be on the phone to see what her price is

I agree although Natalie decided to copy Leah's aggressive stance for discounts and Leah got away with it because she nearly sold but didn't.

No, she had to go. I think her asking Kurt whether "is this tactical" was itself tactical. I don't think he was thinking about Sugar's warning when he brought her in, he had genuine reasons to bring her back. She wanted to make sure Sugar thought that was really why she was being brought back, not her failures on the task.

Hahaha, she was in a girl band with that name apparently.

How about a 'sensible heel' then ... you know, half way between a flatty and a teetering pair of six inch ones .... would that compensate for the stretched muscles and tendons ?

I'm not being flippant Cressida, that's a serious question ( just out of interest )

His genuine reasons were tactical though. He blamed her for what Leah had got wrong - but picked Natalie, who had been identified as being at risk, over Leah - who would fight better, and whom they all seem wary of. He couldn't bring Myles back for failing to sell, because that meant underlining his own failure to sell. I think Lord Sugar sees something in Alex, though, and would have had to fire whoever else Kurt brought back in if he really wanted to lose 2.

Leah asked once, got a "no" and dropped it. For the next item Natalie kept asking. Leah wasn't great with the "I have no kids therefore no idea" schtick, but with the bike, Natalie asked the first time and failed to read the tone of the meeting. She asked about discount at least two more times. That will have riled the client. Possibly not the reason for losing the task but she's been shite for the whole process so why not? I doubt Sugar had decided pre boardroom that he was firing two.

Nope. Its been seven weeks and she's shown nothing. Lord Sugar has been more than fair in the past and given her chances to shine and she simply hasn't taken them. Fully deserved to go and one of the weakest to get to Week Seven in my view.
