Was that tirade deserved? I felt sorry for him, it looked like he was going to cry in that interview.

Television nonsense.......that silly old arsehole does it every year....tv stunt.Yawn.

After really overdoing how great he thought his CV was it was really obvious he was setting him up to tear into him.

Pantomime. Just there to make good TV.

Complete power trip. Such an arrogant tit. Who does he think he is talking to someone like that?

I felt like it was an over-exaggerated reaction in order to create a 'moment'.
Funny thing is that it may have then been overshadowed by Bianca getting emotional, as that has never happened before.

Is Claude in UKip ?

Claudes a bellicose tosspot. Totally unnecessary.

The business plan was like a kids school project

Indeed, he really went too far in the name of entertainment. I know Solomon isn't much cop but that wasn't on.

with a name like his he would be a confused soul

The business plan was known when Solomon first applied. It looks to me as if the only reason he was made an apprentice in the first place was so that his business plan could be made fun of.

I do think Solomon was immature in making his business plan look like a school project, but Claude was an absolute bastard in how he treated him. SO rude.

Claude has always been a bit of bulldog, but I think he did have a point. For heaven's sake, don't these candidates look back at previous programmes? Every criticism of business plans and lack of preparation have been listed in almost every other series, so why are candidates STILL making the same, schoolboy errors? Surely preparation is vital, or is there a level of arrogance among each years group?

Groundhog day or what?

If I didn't know better, I'd say that the producers ordered him to recreate what he did with Jordan last year, and Solomon was the only candidate who he could do it to while making it look even vaguely realistic.

And roisins was also taken apart. It wasn't just Solomon.

Last year's attack on Jordan was worse.. Solomon seemed to treat the thing like a joke so I wasn't surprised her got that reaction.

What an idiot! He looked like he would lick Sugar's soles clean in the boardroom!

He was over-dramatic as usual (that's why I love Claude) but I still think the tirade was deserved. Eight page business plan.. or 4 when you exclude the pages with the images.

It crossed my mind that Sol was 'in it for the experience', and didn't really want to go into business with LS.

I can hardly believe such a clever chap, who'd obviously researched how to do a cv, wouldn't have researched a business plan.

To be honest, I wouldn't blame Sol at all for this. It's all a bit of a farce anyway.

The complete 180 Claude did on him was absolutely brilliant. I just knew after applaud him on his CV, he would lash right into him. Quite harsh, but it was good TV .

That was way OTT and made Claude look like an ignorant bully IMO

In saying that though, Solomon was stupid in the extreme to submit what he did and a quick Google search and a Word template would have solved his problem.

For such a seemingly intelligent man, that was a pretty lame effort.

Pathetic business plan. A mockery of those who actually bothered to work on their plans. A typical 'entrepreneur' who will never come to anything. Take it from someone who runs their own successful business, if he can't even be arsed to create a proper plan, he will never have enough real drive to be successful.
Claude should have been harsher.

Was a real shame to see it all unfold. I still dont think anyone reslly knew his business plan as he kept it all in his head. May have been really good but we'll never know. Claude could have given Solomon the opportunity to explain it.

Just done for fun - for our viewing pleasure!
