Annnnnd it begins. Just as i predicted on Friday, people on here are going to start to dig things up to try and ruin his chances of winning. The steps people will take to try and get people to turn on someone in BB is quite sad really.
That's the James I remember from 'The Apprentice'

It's the seeing a situation in such a negative light. Surely people can't really see the world like that. It's quite scary actually

Some people obviously have no idea how things work in the real world. She was incredibly annoying and argumentative and difficult and that alone is enough to make any chilled out person fly off the handle under high pressure filming environment of The Apprentice.
Edi: He didn't even fly off the handle he was just really annoyed with her - just like half of the other contestants were over her time on the show.
Again you see one situation and you add 2 and 2 together and make 63.
Here's a news flash that will shock half of you to the core. One outburst does not make a person's character. Especially when the show is edited to death like Big Brother or The Apprentice.

Haha ok...and she was runner-up right? Well if that's your analysis of her God he must have been truly awful and crap ....all came flooding back watching that, again thanks for posting
He's the only one who can shut them down even when executing a game plan .... And without it exploding into a long drawn out slanging match.... Good for him. 
Clip from article summarising the day he was fired (partly for choosing to lie to his entire team and not admit he got a potential clients name wrong and thus losing them a massive deal. After firstly blaming the client for being offended at him calling him the wrong name It was only when pressed in boardroom his team learned of his deceit, not through lack from him trying to explain it away & continue to lie until he was forced into a corner ....stand up bloke, salt of the earth
It's one of the oldest tricks in the book – pushing to close a deal and giving the impression of familiarity and friendliness by constantly mentioning their name. 'Yes Anthony, I totally agree Anthony. Now about the price of these hot tubs Anthony…'
Getting the person's name wrong, as James did, is a serious blunder. Calling him 'Derek', as James also did, is even worse.
No wonder Anthony gave the prized hot tubs to the other team.
5. James' big mouth was bound to get him fired eventually
'Sod it !' James concluded after hearing that Anthony/Derek had exacted his revenge by giving his hot tubs to Team Tenacity. 'If that's what he's going to be like, worrying about a little detail like that, then I don't want to work with him.'
Very grown-up.
Incredibly, James compounded his slip with the extraordinary, almost impressively disastrous, decision to LIE about it to his teammates.

'Do they really need to know?' he posited to Roisin, having clearly already decided that they DIDN'T.
'I want to keep my team in good spirits,' was his feeble justification.
Instead, he explained the switch from hot tubs to lawn-mowers by telling Solomon, Sanjay, and Bianca: 'I changed my mind last minute. I made a business decision. At the end of the day, I took the lawn-mowers because he's been established here for years.'
He had already over-ruled them about the other products the team was selling, despite the minor detail that he hadn't seen them and they had.
By lying, now he looked as if he was over-ruling himself.
He obviously hadn't thought about the fact that he was ON TELEVISION – showing potential clients that he might be doing business with that he was LYING, not to strangers but to his colleagues.
Incredibly, in the boardroom, he continued lying – to Lord Sugar.
'When you and Roisin went to see the vendors of the high ticket items, what did you fancy?' Sugar asked, knowing the answer full well, and laying a trap for James to go charging into.

'For me, the lawn-mower,' James declared. 'I chose the lawn-mower because it was a country area.'
Eventually, after Roisin fiercely objected, James confessed his costly mistake about 'Derek' to his team. Well kind of.
'Sometimes businessmen make mistakes. If I make a mistake, I didn't want that to affect my team…'
'So you lied to us?' spluttered Sanjay in disbelief.
'I didn't LIE to you…' James claimed, obviously not even believing it himself.
It seemed he might be spared again when Lord Sugar summarised the others' faults.
'Roisin, you are a qualified accountant…' he began, making it sound as if, far from being an achievement, it was a black mark that was insurmountable.
His assessment of Sanjay was even worse, albeit understandable.
'Sanjay, you've been a banker all your life…'
God, he really was doomed.

James sensed the writing was on the wall, judging by his melodramatic, Dickensian, last minute plea.
'I've never had t'education,' he related, obviously assuming that Lord Sugar would see this as a good thing. 'I'm in this big wide world on my own. I just want someone like yourself to take me under their wing, and give me that guidance that I need.'
Don't be surprised if James pops in panto – in Dick Whittington or Oliver Twist.
'James, I see some sparks of entrepreneurialism,' Lord Sugar told him, fondly. 'But it's whether I can afford to take you any further in this process…'
This was the key word in his verdict: 'afford.'
No doubt he could have taken James under his wing, but no one could blame him for not wanting to invest £250,000 in him. It was a high price to pay for having him drive you nuts.
'I find it very hard to demoralise somebody with such fighting spirit,' Sugar continued, before doing it anyway. 'It is with regret James that I'm going to have to say to you: 'James, you're fired.'
'James, you're irritating' would have been more appropriate.

or seeing things differently to you,you mean no that is not scary.
You know people have run out of things to criticize about when they have to revert to something that happened in another show.
And the fact people think The Apprentice is not scripted is even more laughable.
Pretty sure I can find videos of all the celebs not being pleasant in their past. I can dig them up just to spite people, but I don't.

Never seen the Apprentice and from those two clips he does seem to be a tad silly at least but without watching the show I can't see the context. In the context of what we've seen in the house it is Austin and Jenna who are being out of order in that regardless of why he did it they are pulling him out about not saving Farrah basically which is not their right so I don't blame him for saying that conversation is not on the table.

Does it really matter to you who wins?
If you win CBB you don't even win a crown made of twigs or plastic.
I think clips from The Apprentice are quite legitimate examples of showing how James has handled similar situations before. It doesn't even necessarily mean that you'll draw a negative conclusion, unless of course you really do see a negative you wouldn't like to admit.
Anyway, I've had my say and I'm done with this conversation now.

But then on various occasions he did talk about it again, but in the same selective manner he did before, by having his say and then saying he doesn't want to talk about it anymore if the other person made a good point.”

This without doubt plain & simple!
