More tasters of next weeks task at the end of You're Fired, looks like it's going to be fun for the wrong reasons.

First time someone dies during a task. That should get the ratings soaring.

Sam was way out of his depth bless him but Scott refusing to shake hands/hug him was uncalled for. Scott has gone WAY down in my estimation tonight for blatantly lying about Brett and the 'smash your face in' comment, there is no way he misheard that. It was created to make Brett look like an abusive thug and he quickly backtracked when it backfired, for that comment I would have sacked him too.
Yeah, Sam is lovely, but it was him time to go bless him. Scott really was rude completely blanking Sam after they came out of the boardroom - how anyone could dislike Sam that much I don't know! The comment about Brett threatening to smash his face in was a blatant lie which Sam rightly called Scott out on.

Brett did imply he'd "smash his face in" so it's understandable why Scott misremembered

Well that's a heel turn for Scott. Falsely accusing Brett then blanking Sam. What a tool.

So do they count unsold stock at cost price or sale price?

Because surely it would be the same if they had the money or the stock if it is at cost price?

Which means it would always pay to buy stock rather than to keep the money if they count it at sale price.

Thanks. I knew a dog had been killed, but they didn't give the name this morning. Felt so bad for the poor animal.

It should be cost price as the task is meant to be an ongoing business rather than a 1 day pop up shop so they should be considered as assets.

No surprise to see Sam gone he was always on borrowed time- well out of his depth

Scott- from being a nice guy- seemed to undergo a complete personality transplant this week. He actually seemed to lose the plot completely in the final BR, in the end he was very fortunate to stay. Whatever about Brett and Richard's conduct at times this series, blanking someone like that at the end is pathetic. Also the accusation he made towards brett.

Selina is not only the most annoying candidate, she's one of the most annoying people I've ever seen what a dose. she'll need to completely avoid the boardroom between now and interviews as she's gone next time she's brought back

Gary was uninspiring I thought as PM, and seemed quite shaky in the BR too- was it just me or did he seem really nervous when speaking. Cannot imagine him talking himself out of a firing down the line whatsoever.

David was weak again this week and is probably the last of the deadwood to go at this stage, along with Gary

Joseph and Vana did sound once again, and remain the two strongest for me

I'm warming to Richard! at least he tried something a little out there and there's good drive in him

Bar the 2-for-1 thing, I was impressed with Charlene too

Oh and Brett and Vana are definitely the two sha**ing in the house!!!

I think the trouble with selina is that she has such a negative and stroppy attitude and demeanor, any sensible suggestions just don't come across. I do,'t think they would with me eihter if I were on a team with her.

Does Charleine like anybody? I know it is a competition but trying to get results just so you can upset another team member, and smiling whilst you talke about it. Yuck, what an unpleasant human being.

I've liked Scott till now but he really showed himself up this week. Berating members oif the public for not stopping for him. Really? Making an allegation that Brett threatened physical violence - that could have been so damaging if Sam and Karen hadn't been able to confirm what actually happened. Belittling sam's business plan without having read it and then refusing to say goodbye. Goodness.

I'm pretty sure leftover stock in this show used to be viewed as a liability, not an asset,

If Richard said 1+1 was 2, Charlene would probably say it was 3.

She really will take a swipe at him over anything.

Scott must fancy Selina, can't think of any other reason she's not back.
Maybe he saw Brett as competition and hoped he'd get fired?

Scott is horrible. That comment implying Brett had threatened to smash his face in was out of line
When did they show this exchange during the programme? I missed it.

How the heck did Gary's team manage to sell that much? It was really surprising - as I thought the gadgets would pull in big money. Despite the win Gary showed that he was pretty much useless.

The "rivalry" or bitchfight between Richard and Charleine was a bit hilarious

Scott was pure trash this week being a liar in the boardroom + not shaking hands with Sam at the end.

Selina survived yet again. Eurgh.

No, in an ongoing business, it's an asset.

Wonder if Scott and Selina are the two lovebirds
Went right off Scott after he refused to shake Sam's hand, there's nothing more unattractive than a bad sport

Despite all the hate for Scott for saying Brett was going to smash his face in, it was surely still a threat. Brett did say "If you do that one more time..." or words to that effect, which with the appropriate 'look' is clearly a threat. He's saying quite clearly there'll be consequences. Scott however should have just said he felt physically threatened instead of the 'smash my face in' comment. Instead the situation turned against him and Brett's threat got off scott free (pardon the pun) - he's a very smart bully.

Nevertheless I do like Brett at times particularly for his no nonsense approach, but he's definitely aggressive and unprofessional, like when he said 'I sh*t you not' in the boardroom. I bet Claude and Karen's toes curled at that point.
