Aww bless him. He was not horrible and said the others were stronger than him hence being kept on.

Normally we get someone in the taxi and the speech they give is along the lines of "Oh I am going to be so successful and shame on Sugar for not picking me" and "the others are all pants compared to me".

Someone said last week that he was awful and rude to Franny but that must have gone over my head.

I always had an inkling he would never have won, the older male candidate normally gets binned in the first few weeks. But he seems like a decent chap even though he has multi coloured eyes.

I remember somebody saying that Francesca was targeted by the others like some form of bullying. It's expected due to the competition and the personalities but definitely not encouraged and needed.

When I heard this I didn't watch until the end.

He is definitely more mature than most contestants in that situation.

Was that a special edition as I have never seen that.

Myles told Franny to can it after Sugah told her to button it and she went on and on and on. I don't think he was being rude. But to each their own.

No he didn't - he told LEAH to shut up when she was ranting on and on....... Francesca was in the other team!

Oh I stand corrected. It's the part where she argued her case like something posessed.

Lord Sugar had already told Leah to stop talking and Myles told her to "take the advice and be quiet"... I found it funny.

Myles definitely came across as lovely in the taxi ride and on YF.

Very decent guy, contrasted massively with Jordan in the boardroom.

It was the right decision based on the task, as he totally lost it. Even though I was willing him to fire Jordan

Myles, like Jason, proved to be a decent guy who was polite and mostly treated others with respect and professionalism. They're the sort of behaviours that go down well in the real world - particularly the kind of high-end circles Myles operates in. It's just a shame that in The Apprentice manners are often portrayed as some sort of weakness.

Exactly my thoughts.

Jordan was unfairly cornered for choosing the vase, something he believed in. It didnīt sell, fair enough, but that doesnīt make the product unsaleable. That statement doesnīt make sense, had it been sold then Sugar would have applauded him for taking the risk and so on and on. But he would say now to me "yeah, but it didnīt sell aint it!?". Just because it didnīt sell which sometimes is due to luck, doesnīt mean the product is bad or that Jordan should be shot for choosing it.

I recall season 2, a physics lecturer. She was one of the most logical thinkers, anayltic persons and with honesty and integrity like Myles and Jordan that has been on the program. She was fired, I recall, in a particular task at the zoo where they had to flog hugely overpriced sweets to parents. They were so overpriced that parents would not buy, so the strategy was to tease the kids first so they would convince the parents to buy them. This woman didnīt feel comfortable doing so and at the boredom she was told "You seem to have some moral problems.... this is business, ainīt it? you have to be ruthless, you canīt be weak."

I said it again, i wish there were more people like these three in the business world, specially in the financial sector.

I completely agree, the way Jason was treated borded on bullying !!
I found myself shouting at the TV telling him to put those people in their place..
Of course people can defer in how they do business, but still there should be a polite, civil way to put concerns across..

Jordan was very lucky last night, he took 5 hours to buy some bloody candles, was then sent to buy a high ticket item, took for ever again and returned with about 1hr left to sell it.

Is that because Jordan rivals Myles for indecision, or was it the usual Apprentice trap of not realising how long it takes to drive across London to the wholesaler?

Yes I agree it takes time to drive across London etc, but you turn up at the Warehouse ask the guy "what's your best seller" have a look at them, get a price and buy them, what was with all the note taking and talking all the time, buy candles get the hell out of there.

I think the 'Parasite" remark is aimed at Jordan, he seems to "ride peoples coat tails" and never actually does something himself, look at his business plan, it's as if he's found a guy with an idea for an "APP" said I'll market it and get LAS to fund it.

I was a bit disappointed he didn't leave Sugar's office in his F1 car. His standards must be dropping.

Jason seemed to be well liked in the house, although he did also seem to be a figure of fun and was probably not perceived as a genuine threat to win. He wasn't treated particularly well from what we saw. Fair enough, he never convinced as a businessman but he was a poor candidate not because he was a nice buy but because he was naive and didn't seem to have a commercially-minded outlook. I know plenty of people like that - they're highly intelligent, have great ideas but not the business nous to make things happen.

Ironically, one of the bullies -- Alex -- then replaced Jason at the bottom of the male hierarchy (the omega male).
