Did you agree with Lord Sugar's decision?

Poll up soon

Definitely Michelle.

I actually thought Jessica *at least* should have been brought back in and possibly fired.

The way she just sold everything at any random price that popped into her head, as well as jumping in and interrupting her teammates by then selling their items lower than they had intended them to be sold at shows that really she should have been in the boardroom instead of Alana, and possibly fired for that.

Didn't she also try to say in the boardroom that that's what the other girls were doing?

I think Michelle was probably the right one to go. Between spending all that time with the expert, to pretty much ignore everything he said, to deviate from their plan but not inform the driver - it was an all round disaster for her.

She did, yeah. And you could see Trishna (who was the one who was originally selling the products before she cut in and undersold them) was ready to call BS on her, but she kept talking over here until Lord Sugar butted in and promptly moved on.

So because of her constant rambling and energy, she actually dodged a bullet by annoying LS so much that he just wanted to move on to other things.

Both Michelle and Rebecca, there should be an option for more than one.

I made the poll multiple choice

I can't fit the names to the faces yet, but the right one went.

She looked liked an irritable gerbil as well. No sense of humour or spark.

Michelle deserved to go but I actually quite liked her deadpan, one-note voice approach. The polar opposite to Jessica's manic-ness. She came across well on YF too.

Jessica was a pain in the proverbial but I wouldn't have fired her. Want to see if she calms down as the series moves on. Looked like she crumbled and broke down in the preview clips for next week.

Rebecca was extremely annoying and definitely acting the goat on the task. She was a completely different person in the boardroom, unlike Jessica. I can't say she was directly at fault for them losing the task though. That was down to Michelle's lack of organisation and planning.

I think Michelle had to go; the thing about Camden and going with your gut despite advice was stupid. She totally missed that they could make good money at the markets and she did say to offer low prices even though she said in the boardroom that she didn't. I think Claude was right, she didn't show any business skills. She seemed strong at the start but didn't last. I thought Natalie and Jessica were terrible as well, Natalie talked about undervaluing items and then sells two unique items ( who other team members had suggested were valuable) for the first price offered at £15. That is just dim! I think a massive problem is that the women didn't haggle at any reasonable level, they seemed to take the first price which were offered in most cases. With Jessica, she just messed around the whole time and plucked prices out of the air when selling to the trader even though they had set valuations. Trishna was irritating but I think she offered the most business sense out of all of them.

Lyndhurst was correctly fired.
She was completely incompetent.

Michelle was so ugly to watch when she had her sour face and blamed the error on other people.

Yuk. Good riddance


(That said Rebecca was kinda useless but that was week 1 and I gave her a benefit of doubt)

Rebecca saved herself in the boardroom (IMHO) - she fought for her life, and I (like her) wondered why she had been brought back when others were equally bad for other reasons.

Michelle herself said on YF that she brought Rebecca back in because she thought she would go rather than her because of the low sales, so it must have been quite a shock to find herself out the door.

I agreed with her taking Alana in as she made a pigs ear of being sub team leader, but I'd have taken Natalie who sold the pricey vases for next to nothing, or the one who sold the expensive Ekornes chair for a pittance, rather than Rebecca.

That said - I did think Rebecca was useless, but she was the only one on the sub team who picked up that the pricing of the goods matttered, when none of the others did (or cared), so was marginally less useless than some of the others......

That Indian girl is a snake in the grass - dropping everyone else in the doo door to make herself look good!

Michelle, she was an idiot for ignoring the expert.

She was really sneaky and passive-aggressive. Totally see her get feisty in the boardroom in coming weeks with her smug "I told you so" face.

Thank Goodness and that means she is really unlikely to win.

She was also an idiot for volunteering to be project leader.

All of them ,must be the worse contestants ever on this show ,all thick as pig s##t

Michelle, even though all the girls were awful. Not a single one that tried to stop the bleeding, and some even gleefully helped it bleed faster.

I don't know how Michelle could've saved herself, but I would've brought back Natalie (I think it was) instead of Alana, Suges had already singled her out for the vases sale.

Don't agree - can't be in two places at once and it is always the easy option to fire the PM - so predictable.

And Jessica is a nut case - a real loose cannon.

But you can't just simply say that the PM is exempt simply because they are the PM.

I agree that Michelle should have gone.

Who did ?

You didn't say that, but I don't think this was a simple case of Lord Sugar simply firing the PM, because it was the easy option.

Lots of the girls could have been brought in, but one that seemed utterly cluesses was Natalie and unfortunately she flew completely under the radar (as candidates like her luckily do so in the early stages). I don't think Trishna or Grainne would have made sense to have been brought back if Michelle had considered any of her 4-team in. I think she may have been too frightened to bring in jessica (if got an idea of what she was like to manage and thought she might be potentially stong in arguing a defence) and so easily went for the sub-leader Alana (which was fair given how poor her performance and organising was) and Rebecca who I think was a fair choice too. A few choices would have made sense, and given very few really tried to price and lacked strategy, more than one going would have made sense to me.

Out of the three, any I would have been ok with going, given none of them really inspired confidence of their skills.

But series after series it is - and in this particular case at least three should have gone before the PM imo.

So what not for Michelle then ?
