Yeah I think she should've gone a while ago. Thought he would have got rid of two though.

Definitely Natalie but I think Sam should have gone too, I just don't see anything in him to be honest. I guess his business plan must be decent!

I think Sam and Natalie AND Selina should have gone. Why he brought Brett back over Selina I'll never know, unless Selina just intimidated the crap out of him or something.

I picked somebody else. I still don't know what Elle does.

Both Sam and Natalie but I've been rooting for a double every week to be honest.

Natalie was terrible and deserved to go. She just didn't seem interested at all.
Sam is sweet but he's not got the edge to make him a business man. Probably a good middle manager but not someone with any 'oomph' How Selina avoided getting brought back, I don't know. Her and Charlene are the sort of women who end up on TA and give businesswoman a bad name |

Natalie & Sam, but Sam is a nice guy so I'm fine with him staying.

He knew Selina would throw him under the bus big time which is why he saved her I reckon whereas Brett was more likely to attack Natalie.

Lord Sugar made the right decision 100%.
Had this been Natalie's first mess up, I'd have forgiven her, but she also had the week 2 pitch disaster so she had to go. I'm not a fan of Brett but he has some business acumen, and I don't think I've seen enough to Sam to decide on him fully. He is a nice guy though. |

He should have went week 1 for me with those awful fish cakes when he obsessed with following specifications as though he was building the Golden Gate Bridge. |

Natalie was the obvious, but correct choice to go. Sam was lucky to avoid the chop, but I sense he won't go far anyway as he's more an academic than a business type. |

The right person went, she's useless at pitching (failed twice), and likes to hide in the background and only raises her head to take pot shots at people once she thinks she's in the clear and people are ganging up on someone else.

And on Selina. I can't be the only one rolling my eyes at her constant excuses of 'not being good at numbers'? That's not exactly a good business trait... |

Of the three, Natalie certainly deserved to go.
I'm not sure I'd have chosen her out of all the contestants. I liked Charlene up until last night's episode where I think she was very unprofessional with dismissing Richard over and over. On the other hand, she made the sale which won them the task I guess. With regards to the others, Sam won't last until the end because he is too nice. And indecisive, and I was convinced he'd be fired last night for that reason. I'm glad he wasn't though, he deserves another chance. |

I had no problem with Natalie being fired but I think Sam should have gone as well. I think he's a lovely chap and clearly intelligent but I have yet to see any evidence of him being able to translate that into being a good businessman. When Karren said that he had overintellectualised the task she was spot on. So often the very brightest people academically wouldn't/don't last 5 minutes in a business environment.

^^ That's the problem with a lot of these high academics they've spent years in an enclosed environment, and often lack the social or street smart skills, I think that's one reason LAS isn't that keen on them.
