I had such a soft spot for Rebecca and I don't think she deserved to go tonight!

I voted Sof

Rebecca for me, that was a colossal mistake, the alarm bells were ringing the minute the Turkish guy said on the phone they had all kinds of 'soap', the others picked up on it and she should have checked.

Nice person but came across as a wimp and the way the footage was edited ehrn PM was determined she seemed to be hiding, as did Frances.

Rebecca, whilst a very nice girl, was totally useless throughout the process thusfar and so she was the right choice to go (though imo I think she should have been fired last week in place of JD)

Sofiane however has repeatedly shown himself to be an AWFUL team player, one of the worst the show has ever had. Totally in his own world.

Should have been a double firing.

Rebecca was doomed from the second she didn't fight to be PM.

She should've grabbed it and made Trish subteam leader, then she could hide behind overseeing everything, having the others negotiate, and banging on about time and logistics.

In saying that, it's hard to see the winner in anyone on that team, so Suges should've fired them all.

Rebecca is a cert, because she is useless. I expect her "marketing agency" is just a crutch for other local businesses. Sof came very close and i would expect him to go on the next loss.

Rebecca. She was dead meat for a good while and this task fully showed it. Nice girl but horrible candidate.

Paul should have gone for green-lighting the trip to Streatham.

1) he had doubts that the shopkeeper had understood correctly but did not press Rebecca to check, perhaps figuring correctly that she'd be blamed anyway

2) as a Londoner, he knew it would take an hour or so because it is south of the river whereas his subteam was supposed to be east

Of those in the final boardroom, Rebecca's time was clearly up. Trishna did herself no favours -- as Claude said, she identified the right tactic of walking away from failed negotiations but did not go through with it, giving the impression she lacks leadership skills. (As an aside, Trishna may have been right here.) Sofiane is impossible to work with.

Agree with this. Although I actually found Rebecca's behaviour in the soup/soap misunderstanding borderline offensive - using her pidgin English to patronise the shop manager.

Would AS have accepted Rebecca business plan if she was running it with her sister?

Wouldn't her sister have had to bail out?

I think so. Richard got it in the neck for that last year didn't he?

It depends on ownership. The prize is a 50/50 partnership with Lord Sugar for £250,000. Not 25/25/50 or 33/33/33 or whatever Jordan was offering.

Here is Claude explaining this in pretty frank terms to Jordan:

Rebecca - really not sure how she made it onto the programme. Ineffectual and delusional. Honestly, she's worse than an empty seat...

Correct - She had to take it so it's her own fault because it was a no brainer.

Rebecca was the right choice to go.

Although both she and Frances have been in the losing team every time, Frances is more under the radar so has escaped so far.

There is another who is worse - and still there.
