5. Need to get rid of Elle, Charleine, Vana and Selina ASAP
![]() The same April who has been virtually invisible since week 2...................let's just say it's perhaps more likelier that at least one of the women you mentioned make the final five. My own thoughts: 1. Natalie came across as even more thicker on the show then on her twitter (which takes some doing). 2. Charleine trying to do a Stella mark II (aka alienate most of your fellow candidates in the house). 3. Sam will be fired the next time he is brought back into the boardroom. 4. Think that Selina panicked a bit from last week, when she couldn't sell anyting, and went for different tactics this week (though her math skills are still very poor). 5. For me. Mergim and David came across poorly in the edit, basically playing Richard's moronic sidekicks. |

1. I love Sam, but sadly don't think he'll last much longer, bless him.
2. Why was Brett brought back into the boardroom and not Selina? 3. Charleine was very lucky to get that last minute sale which won her the task. 4. Snottydink > Bizzie Bee. Another task where the worst product won. 5. Who offers a lower unit price if you buy less? Selina it seems! |

Didn't that book actually have her as it's author on the cover? I think she's doing a hell of a lot more than we are seeing, perhaps she's just not the type to make a fuss about everyone acknowledging her input. (Although her lack of blowing her own horn may be her downfall later when she doesn't pipe up in the BR).
![]() My five thoughts about this episode are basically all "I really liked Natalie," except the fifth, which is "'why can'tchoo make up your bladdy mind' 'I'M STRUGGLING HERE SAM I'M REALLY STRUGGLING'" |

It was ridiculous to omit certain words because a 5 year old wouldn't understand them. Reading is a good way of increasing a child's vocabulary. That was half the fun with books when I was a kid - learning new words.

Thats the artificiality though. They don't know what the standard trade difference between a book's wholesale and retail price is- so they can't give people what they expect, or offer whats a better deal.
Natalie ends up , on whats shown, being blamed for not knowing what the retailers cut was as a percentage - but she had only been given the prices - no one had worked out percentages. Thats not surprising, as the show has never required them to make their prices confirm to an industry norm, they don't know. Its also hardly surprising they can't work out that figure in their head its a difficult sum- and, if they did, it would come out at some very random looking percentage - with multiple decimal places - because their percentage is a result of a price figure - not vice versa. A 29% margin would look silly - even if you knew that was what it was . The only person to come out of that questionably , was the shopkeeper - who seemed to shut them out for not being able to do a sum she couldn't do herself, even though she presumably had a calculator. There might be justification for the shopkeeper being like that, or Karen being so miserable and negative, but there's nothing in whats actually shown to justify either. |

Yeah, that is a good point. I would imagine most retailers would expect a discount of at least 50% from the retail price to sell at a profit considering all the other costs there are with a business. It just seemed to me that the whole pitch was a waste of effort for them as they were discussing two units; if she had bought at that price, she would have made £4.20 if they'd sold at the RRP. As business people, they should have been pushing higher minimum order quantities at a lower price point in my opinion.
