Paul was always going to as he was so arrogant & aggressive & his Lordship does not like that.

That's what made their tears all the more pointless.

I think Sir Lord Alan needs to warn these ladies that any more on-cue crying in the BR will result in them being fired & that might make the likes of Frances (Jessica to a lesser extent) think twice before turning on the waterworks to train at garner sympathy.

He did actually touch on that after Paul had been fired, very gently (at least as gently as LS can get) but it was very much a "Pull yourselves together or you'll be next" type of deal.

They bring shame to the sisterhood.

Crying and weeping and whingeing like big babies.

I know people are entitled to be emotional and they can't help being upset, but FFS this is hard nosed business. Get a grip you silly little bints. Should have been sacked!

That said, I am glad the rude git who was sacked went!
Words like that also "bring shame to the sisterhood."

It's almost like there's seperate people making different observations and stating different opinions.

Crazy right?
That's not what I mean

I mean women get called overly emotional if they cry or cold and calculating when they don't.

Yeah, I would agree with the former to a certain extent, particularly in the workplace, but yeah, I'm not sure at all about the latter. Even if we do just focus on the woman in question, Grainne, I think it's just who she is rather than some sort of tactical calculation.

Given the speed some of them switched between arguing - oh that's not working - crying - oh that's not working - arguing, it's amazing they didn't get whiplash.

Oh my word it was so embarrassing - Frances' crying face was a proper BAWL of a cry. It was great TV!!

Gotta be honest though...I'm a crier...and it's one of the main things I hate about myself. I cry when I'm sad, mad, stressed OR when I'm happy OR when something just means a lot to me.

When I started to ask my boss for a salary increase recently I felt myself starting to go and inside was screaming "NOOOOO!! NOT NOW!! Why cry?! WHY ARE YOU ABOUT TO CRY NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET?!?!"

Luckily he immediately said "Yes yes it's fine." so I made my escape quickly without any tears falling and followed up with an email

But anyway, THAT'S why I could never go on this show, as much as I'd like to. I just can't trust myself no matter how hard I've tried to train myself to keep it together
I also suffer with this exact same thing! Especially the talking to your boss thing.

Yes, Jessica is one of those who is unfortunate enough to wired to cry when feeling strong emotions, and she is a highly emotional being. I cry when I'm really angry, and it drives me mad, as I think it just makes me look feeble at a time when I want to formulate a strong and coherent point of view.

I think Frances is more in control usually, but probably either found Jessica's crying contagious (like laughter and yawning) or decided to give it a whirl when she saw LS wasn't coming down too hard on Jessica for crying.
