Was that the most cringe-worthy task ever?

I felt like I spent every moment cringing. Jesus.
Selina talking to the children.
David's health and safety.
The parent's party bags.
David in the coach.
Charleine's premature exit.

I couldn't watch the screen at times. I had to look away, seriously. It was a torture.

It was on a par with the other year's 'the wheels on the bus go round and round' coach trip episode.

True, but at least they had one semi-decent team. One who could actually properly make a t-shirt...

As soon as David said he'd run the kids activities it was all downhill from there. Selina admitting she hates kids, the way she handled organising the party, Brett and his hair joke not landing, Richard and his cake, Karen and her total opinion shift in the boardroom, Charleine trying to leave early, Charleine talking over David constantly, Joseph and his smug face in general. I thank Vana for being the only candidate who didn't make me cringe.

What about Pants Man?!
Pants Man went full circle from cringe to glorious c'mon

Karren said it was like David was leading a corporate away day. He would have been better suited to that task 2 years ago

Tonight wasn't quite as embarrassing as James and Sanjay singing Wheels on the Bus and getting lost outside a Poundland

The show was in top form tonight to be fair. So much cringeworthy gold. Every candidate did their best at being the worst.

For me it was Karren chastising Gary in front of his clients, would have never happened in the margaret era. They are there to observe, nothing more

That was quite an important issue that he was failing to clarify so Karen rightly stepped in I think.

Her husband was more than capable of handling it, Karren introduced panic

I disagree. I think her stepping in was definitely needed.

I completely agree. The clients made it very clear that the wife has a severe nut allergy and can't be in the vicinity of nuts. The team were acting like it was an inconvenience they could bullsh!t their way out of, rather than a potentially life threatening situation. Imagine the lawsuit if the wife had a reaction and had to go to hospital? Karen and Claude are there as much to stop the candidates from doing anything that could put the show in trouble as much as giving feedback.

But this was genuinely important. Because the contestants were treating the peanut allergy lightly with a 'Yeah yeah whatever' attitude, but it's something which can literally kill people.
In fact I thought that more would be made of it in the boardroom and that someone would be fired for the peanut allergy reason alone.

Fine, but she could have taken him to one side

That was She should have taken him to one side and told him, very unprofessional of her imo. There was no way she needed to do that to stop him killing the nut allergy Mum.

I cant bring myself to feel sorry for a boy whose parents budget 2k for a birthday party
That's an obscene amount of money to spend on a child that age imo. Bet he got presents too.

The party bags was the cringiest thing for me.

I don't know a parent that would ever pay £10 per child for a fecking gourmet party bag with, as Richard said, diamond rings in it, never mind that price for plastic sunglasses and a glow stick.

It was a Pi*s poor performance from all concerned.
I love David's "your not allowed to climb to the top" when the thing was only about 5feet high. And why didn't they ask for more money off the climbing wall, when it was clearly not fit for purpose (the spacing of the planks, being a finger hazard)

Why didn't they just buy a cake, it would of been more cost effective and less stress on an already overworked team (it's not the Great British Bake Off) it seems quite a few times this season candidates have been criticised for not being chefs.

The parents are paying roughly £200 per child for the day, so a fiver's worth of assorted tat just doesn't cut it. Either do the party bags properly or not at all.

Glad it's not just me. All the corporate suit trying to be 'youth'. Bret singing Britney with his guns out thinking he's god's gift to a bunch of teenage girls was a little creepy.
