Why did Bianca take what was said really personal? |

I think the interviewer was well within her rights to ask a question like that.so far Bianca has not really shown anything of her personality. it was a readily used interview technique as a bit of a character test. she was simply looking for a response from Bianca imo. surprised when she cried thereafter, but she seemed to recover well

Seemed like crocodile tears to me...she was playing the game. The first interviewer said that she was making a mistake by starting with both products straight away. She then went into the next interview and said that she was going to start with one product and not two. The next interviewer said she was robotic. So at the next interview she cries abit, to prove she isnt robotic.
Sorry I may be wrong, but I dont buy the tears. She is clever and sneaky enough to fake cry. |

That interviewer was a right cow. I didn't think Bianca was robotic; just a measured and professional person. She doesn't come across as unfriendly.Some people prefer to keep their personal life separate from business.
Compare this to her treatment of Mark where she just went gooey. No probing question for him. |

She told (I think) Mark afterwards that she was being herself. This suggests it never occurred to her that people might wonder whether she wasn't what she seemed or that she wasn't as honest as she looked.
I think the interviewer blindsided her so much that she was still rattled when she entered the interview with Ricky. She probably thought she came across sincere and honest, and felt hurt that there was a possibility she didn't do well in that respect. Bearing in mind she specialises in personal branding. Either way, I loved that part as I found it interesting. I also think Bianca will utilise that experience by relaxing her wall of professionalism a little. The interviewer may have done her a favour in that respect. |

It's a line of attack that has been used many time in the Interviews before. She should have prepared for it. Bianca came across as under-prepared and inexperienced.
I hope she wins, Mark's just too much straight out of a cookie-cutter to me, just throw a rock in central London and you'll hit two people just like him... |

Tell me something about yourself..... I'm 25 and went to such and such school. Goodness me, it sounds like she was applying for a paper round job. You'd think at this level candidates would have a few interesting snippets about themselves that make them stand out. Just shows Bianca is a robot.

Strangely no one has started a thread on why Roisin started to cry when she was describing how passionate she was about her food

Roisin did not get through though. Bianca did. Also she did not seem to be crying to stop the interrogation its tracks. It very much looked like that was the case with Bianca. Could be wrong though.

Sorry I may be wrong, but I dont buy the tears. She is clever and sneaky enough to fake cry. She coaches others for interviews so would know that crying during an interview is not a positive thing to do at all. I think she was mortified to have broken down like that and discover that she was more vulnerable than she realised. |

I dont think she was faking it , I think the previous interview was playing on her mind and it totally blindsided her.It would have done me too as i said theres a big difference between tell me about yourself and Tell me something about yourself that no one else knows
Could just say 'I'm sorry that's personal. This is a business interview' Easy sitting in your armchair I know. |

Just a couple of things to address
1. I personally don't see any difference in the characters and approaches that both Roisin and Bianca have. They both seem logical, intelligent, professional and seemed to deal with the petty squables going on around them pretty well (and also dealing with James). I found Bianca funny at times and up until this episode I would never have thought she was hiding something or didn't have a personality so I'm still baffled as to why that became central to her interview process (I've got a couple of theories but not enough time to delve into that) 2. I don't think it was Claudine who broke her but mainly the way Mark said to her "And are you?" after she'd just told them about the suggestion of her hiding something. Having spent a number of weeks with these people maybe she expected them to say "that's not true", "you seem like you've been yourself throughout" etc. Mark asking that question pretty much confirmed that they have doubts about her character. I think he was gameplaying as well when he asked that because he could tell she was rattled

But then you're not playing along with the interviewer and basically telling them you are unprofessional. It was a silly question that had no bearing on her ability as a businesswoman.
However I do remember in a past series interview I think it was Steven, who was very good at impersonating a pterodactyl . The interviewer asked him to do it and he obliged. The interviewer afterwards gave him a sever reprimand for not showing judgement. He said you should have said this is a business interview I would rather just talk about my business credentials. Sometimes interviewers do that as a test of your assertiveness. As I previously stated its a lot easier sitting in your armchair. |

I couldn't help but wonder if the waterworks were genuine or carefully stage managed to show a softer side and get a sympathy vote.

I don't like interviewers probing into my personal life either, I normally have something to tell them like a hobby, but I thought that was the end of it, but Claudine went to say, that Bianca had no personality and that she has a mask on, obviously when a person goes for an interview we are business like and professional, you don't expect someone to call you up on that fact and insult you and say you know what I think you have no personality, which I don't think is even correct because going by the tasks particularly the one in the kitchen last time we see her open up at the tea place and again in the actual kitchen with Daniel they were getting along tasting everything and having fun, how can you say she doesn't have no personality after that, she just wanted to insult her for being professional and not being playful like Solomon was for example.
