He constantly talked about how she was undermining him when it was the other way round! I'm amazed at how calm she was- anyone else would have gone mad at him. And then Sugar was all nice to him at the end, like he was hard done by. So glad James has gone- absolute tool.

Yep I said in an other post how she didn't punch is lights out I'll never know. But to be fair she's an accountant they're usually quite boring and keep their feet on the ground.

James came across well on YBF, so it would seem he's likable when not on task.

James is really immature, I thought Roisin handled him really well and did well not to stoop to his level. She's a professional and smart and that showed in the last episode, I can see her reaching the final.

I don't understand why people like him. I can't stand him, I think he's a idiot.

I thought he came across well on YBF which is a more a true reflection of the person. Still wonder what his BP was, they skirted around that, maybe he doesn't what anyone to know.

I really like her and I too hope she reaches the final. Bib: She revealed those qualities very early on. And I disagree with Karen, Nick and Lord Sugar: she hasn't turned up too late; she has turned up and spoke out at the right time. I wish her all the best.

Ah, I thought the opposite. I felt he tried to polish himself up nicely, but his real personality leaked out around the edges a little too often. He was certainly helped by the fact that the panel mostly decided not to go too hard on him. I know some people were baying for blood, but it wouldn't have made for much of a programme if he had stormed off set in a huff after 5 minutes after he'd been called out for his behaviour repeatedly.

Or maybe it would have made the programme better?

Who knows.

Not sure what you mean by BP?

She seems to be following the same trajectory as Leah last year - keeps her head down, quietly confident, gets on with it and coasts through to final.

BP = business plan

Because she's a professional. In business you sometimes come across people like James who are idiots. You keep calm, identify their weaknesses and move on. After a while you learn how to deal with them like Rosin clearly has.

Maybe he noticed what I did. I think strategically she may have done herself no favours last night. I think she should have taken the same approach as Katie. I think she should have advised James on how to approach the hot tub dealer, no matter what James's reaction would have been, she would have had her back covered.

He is a real nasty piece of work and misogynist . He seems threatened by women and looks for any excuse to put them down .

I was so angry at Sugar's attitude in the board room towards him and even excusing his bad behaviour and then to give him 'with regret' in his firing .

I thought he seemed thoroughly insincere on YBF and couldn't believe how Dale and Nick were looking at him so fondly. I also couldn't understand why nobody pointed out to him that constantly referring to his balls isn't big and isn't clever. I was expecting a compilation of clips of him using that ugly expression 'I've put my balls on the line here' with Dara making some killer put-down.

James is a nasty little gobshite and I'm glad he's gone.

Lol, they all come across well on YF these days and he in particular would have been made abundantly aware of how important it was to attempt to dispel his true colours. He was also lucky - or was it planned? - that he had a James-friendly panel.

Nasty piece of work: will not be surprised to hear more of him in relation to further criminal assaults...

Yep. James reminds me of someone who works for me in that his opinion of his own business skills are a world apart from the reality and that he attacks as a form of defence. You learn how to deal with people like that in a professional manner and how to approach difficult conversations with them when, in reality, you would love to give them a slap.

The only difference is that the one who works for me is 52 years old and will never learn now whereas at least James has youth on his side and could mature

Let's just hope that this person doesn't read these forums!

I am so glad James is gone. He is a self aggrandizing PoS who is all surface charm and looks, nothing beneath. He'll lie in a second to further himself. I would not trust him with anything, certainly not my money. I was so happy Roisin finally told him off, was very disappointed in LAS's attitude towards him that he just needs a bit of maturing. I think he is a con man type and they never change; they have minor success and their delusions of grandeur only get bigger.

I love Katie and Roisin both, Mark a bit less, but Mark is good. Any of these three would be good winners for me. Daniel is way too agressive and easily upset.

Rosin is like an angel, I think I would have run James over with a lawn mower by now....

Not anyone else. Bianca managed to keep it together when he threw his toys out the pram too. Last nights program showed that along with all his other evident ego flaws, James also has a problem with assured women and I am so gald he's gone.


Daniel is immature and couldn't sell water in a desert but is ten times more trustworthy than Mark. Mark is good, but to me he's exactly what James would be if he was taller and had more of an education.

James was a prize pratt, worst PM ever!

Wouldn't say worst, he did win one task, not the greatest PM but not the worst.

You can see the difference in their general manner, James is very much a rush ahead and try and fix the f'ups if possible afterwards, while Roisin's more of the bean counter which means she spends those extra moments having an actual thought on what to do so theres no need to do much fixing of the problems, so we saw the 6P's in action

Trouble is sometimes in business you need action, not debating and thinking too much. I wonder if Roisin is too much of a thinker?

I don't see that side of Mark, I know others do. To me he has a professional exterior and a very competent interior. I see no con man side to him.
Agree Daniel is honest, but way too pushy.
