No love lost between Nat and Brett.
Brett is an utter tool - thinks being verbose and aggressive makes him a good businessman

Another woman gone which is a shame

Missed the point - he gave her prices not percentages.

Was it a series or 2 ago where the women were doing incredibly well and the men just getting fired?

Natalie was the right one to go, will miss her pulling faces though!

Also: is that the first time someone has tried to pull a sicky on the show!?

The performances from the women have been awful, right firing, although Sam was lucky not to make it a double firing.

Before I forget DS, have you fixed the black screen yet?

Nat coming over ok generally, but shifting a lot on her chair, and head all over the place, like one of those nodding car dogs.

The women won the first two tasks of last season, though not because they were especially good, more because they just happened to do a tiny bit better than the men.

The last time I remember the women being clearly on top (no innuendo intended ) was Series 7, where they just blew the men out of the water left, right and centre... only for it not to matter in the end because Helen and Susan messed up their business plans.

Why did no one pick selina up on her ridiculous grasp of selling... 150 at £4.20 per unit or 50 @ £3.50 per unit !!!!!! Since when does the unit price get lower the fewer you buy?

I would feel very sorry for Natalie as people do get sick and it is very hard to function efficiently when you are. But it isn't the first pitch she has f+++ed up (sorry, as a 44 year old i found the shampoo stuff very hard to forgive) and other times she hasn't seen to contribute much.

As far as i'm concerned, being able to quickly and accurately calculate profit margins and discounts not to mention understand pricing structures is essential to a sales person and neither Selina or natalie seem to be able to do it which is unforgivable. Scott can clearly do it so why not them? And Brett did work it out beforehand, said she should write it down as it was important and even offered to step in when asked to turn it into a percentage.

Absolutely the right decision from the people in the last 3 but i think Selina should have been taken in instead of Brett.

Oh and Charleine had a lucky escape - she treated Richard appallingly. If she had that little confidence in Richard she should have stood her ground and not made him sub team leader - to undermine him by constantly asking to speak to David was really horrible and unprofessional.

I'd like to see Senina and Charleine as a double firing, and sharing a taxi
