JD seemed like a nice guy. It's a shame this task didn't work out so well for him but it was ultimately the right decision.
I liked the panel on tonight's YF. |

Paul is an accident waiting to happen . He was literally shaking during simple discussions in that task . Yes I know it was because Sofiane was irritating him , but in reality S was simply giving calm input . Paul's reaction to him was OTT . Worse still, Sofiane smells blood and will continue to prick at Paul .
Alana is useless . She broke down in running a past task and had to be comforted , so I can see why the others find her irrelevant . It looks chauvanistic how Karthik treats her , I mean living with her for 5 or 6 weeks and still can't recall her name ? So dismissive . I doubt he would treat a male housemate like that .Samuel . Nuts . Went steaming in with all guns blazing and no intention of taking any other ideas than his . Nightmare. That VT was just ![]() ![]() .Grainne was right to call him out , but he won't forget that insult . I like wee Frances . She bouncy and bright , just needs to put herself out there a bit more . |

As a cyclist, I think a gilet with lights is a better idea than a fluorescent one. I think in built up areas with a lot of streetlights, the lights on a bike show up better than a fluoro jacket.

Karthik...ewwwww...I don't think he meant to be sexist but it really looked like he was. I think LS was disappointed he couldn't fire him.
Samuel was just full of ego. Sofiane too bossy. Paul too aggressive. The series will be painful to watch as long as these four are around. They make Courtney's audition video look classy. BTW I am glad Jessica did well after the meltdown in week 2. She might go far. |

Presumably the rules regarding promoting in public places have been tightened up these days, as they all had to wear those rather obvious "LOOK WE'RE CROWD FUNDING!" T-Shirts
![]() The woman who filmed the 'viral video' at Kings Cross had a perfectly valid point in that she was trying to film using an iPad which isn't ideal for the job Although it was nice to see a different style of task it felt like either team could have easily cheated and got a few of their mates to chip in with 'pledges', also the retailer thing laid on by Lord Sugar seemed a bit suspect too (Oh look you've basically won the task because the retailers said they would buy some) If it was that easy to make £500 odd in 24 hours the candidates are wasting their time, they could just sit back and have their £250,000 within about a year and a half ![]() I do love how they pick the loosely related venues to announce the actual tasks should have been 'Well here we are in France, who hold the Tour De France, which involves cycling and your task this week is to try and flog some new cycling gear online' ![]() Really enjoyed You're Fired this week, good sport from JD and a half decent panel too (although never heard of the Internet bloke!) |

Ok, so I've not been watching this series at all, but happened to catch the middle of the show where the guy was talking about having a car driver run over a cyclist, so I had to watch and see how that played out. Disappointingly, as it turned out
![]() However, I've always assumed crowd funding was a way for people to fund products that they don't yet have the money to design or produce. People pledge money and then the person uses that to make the product. But these products were products ready to go and the website was more of a glorified shop front without any thought or consideration for differing pledge levels. It didn't strike me as crowdfunding at all. Another thing was the results. The loosing team got £600 odd but then the winning team got £700 whatever, however, that winning total was gained with 2 big orders from the retailers. No mention of retail orders for the losers, so I assume they got none. Doesn't that mean that they actually won the crowdfunding aspect of the task and really, the whole point of the task? With the addition of the retailers and their orders, then it just became the usual pitching task. I didn't bother to see who was fired because, quite frankly, I don't care. |
