Oh, I wouldn't try and defend him.
He was a muppet in the caravan task and, I swear, after the whole "deadly dinners" thing, as well as this week's palava, I genuinely thought he might be a plant, only there to sh*t-stir.
He just seemed quite reasonable and willing to admit his failings when he was on YBF and I guess I can see how that might happen.
In a sane world you'd be thinking "Okay, I have no clue about retailing tat so I'll leave it to somebody else" whereas in TA you're probably thinking "Oh crap! Neil has been in charge 3 times so I need to be in charge this time to keep up!!!" even though you're clueless about what to do next.
I guess it's just that when the caricature figures get fired we all boo and jeer like it's a pantomine but when a fairly "normal" person gets fired it's easier to be sympathetic.
