We've had Paul (series one) and Syed (series two), now we have Tre - who could follow in the footsteps of the past masters. Hopefully he won't disappoint his thousands of fans.

While 'The Tre' is still there, it will never be boring - he's never afraid to have a good ol' scrap. His ego rivals that of the size of Canada, and he's great entertainment aswell.

Priceless moment this week: when he stole that name, ha ha.

My view is that he will continue to be very annoying in a kind of 'he was right' way.

He does swear a hell of a lot though! But he is effective as he was selling the coffees which Jadine failed to understand. It wasn't a promotions task, it was sales!

Yeah her thing about the logo was ridiculous - that sort of tactic would make sense if you were trying to get customers to come back and buy again the next day. Shame there was no next day...

I don't think he's that bad really.

I think he's getting a bit of a hard time on here because people are actively looking for a Syed or a Paul with a possible over-eagerness.

Yes he fed the other boys a bit of bullshit about the team name, but apart from that I thought he was quite good.

He was biting his tongue and just taking so much verbal diarrhea from Jadine anybody would be bound to snap.
He was quite submissive for a while and nodded his head letting her say her bit while she was there trying to have a go at him.

There was a point where she was really trying to put him down and he was just stood there accepting it all, and just waiting for her to get on with the task in hand. She actually said he was still talking over her while he was stood there silent. "You're still doing it"...No he wasn't, not from what we saw anyway. (But I do bear in mind the fact that editing for TV could have played a part in that scene. But we can only go on what we see).
Looked to me like she was deliberately goading him on purpose because she thought she could get away with it.
Who wouldn't eventually snap?

And he looked to be very good at what he was doing. He was operating very succesfully and I suspect that Jadine tried to undermine him because he was doing so well and saw him as a threat.
Despite all her bullshit he was selling coffee like hot cakes and she didn't appear to be able to handle the fact that he was actually doing very well.
It felt as though that on a personal level she resented the fact that he was doing well.

He seems okay to me and seems to be particularly good at selling. Possibly the best performer on the day despite Jadine's efforts to undermine him.

He's a bit of a dick but he can sell stuff. Funny how those two so often go hand in hand...

I agree.
"We're trying to sell the experience".
Bollocks to your stupid 'Experience' Jadine, it's about making more profit than the other team by selling more coffee.
It's a f*cking cup of coffee not a trip to Disneyland.

I just can't help seeing Leigh Francis doing Craig David when I look at Tre. Where's Kes?!

He was the only bloke to stand up to Jadine. It was reminiscent of the Tory cabinet in the 1980s cowering to Mrs T.

Comparing Paul 'The DON' Torrissi (and even Tre) to Syed is a bit of an insult.

Syed was not a serious contestant.

He does have a fairly interesting chin, is he perhaps Jimmy Hill's lovechild?

Tre looks like a thug.

Remember Jadine said to Tre "You made some loss" something like that. That really pissed me of.. Tre did better job then Jadine. Also sold more then Jadine.

Don't know how he looks like a thug.

'We need to make up your losses'
Is what she said, crap manager after she ballsed it up losing the pitch and losing sales.
They're on a pitch doing 60 per hour and the max an experienced operator can do is 80 per hour IIRC.

What's the point in having more staff selling when you can't keep up with demand?
You don't want more than a couple people standing around the van or it looks like service is slow, people will go elsewhere.

I just loved the way she assumed she was having problems because she's a woman, why did the girls have a problem with you then?

I thought Tre was great
ok he didnt help himself with the team name thing,but he sold the most coffee,thats the whole point.

Cant stand Jadine,she wanted her way all the time,a good manager should listen, rather than shout over others opinions!

I reckon Jadine saw him as a soft target as he'd already had his card marked by Alan Sugar over the name fiasco.

Dr Tre won't be to fussed about that! Knowing the Tre, he probably did it on purpose.

Tre looks like a cross between Craig David and a stereotypical 1930's gangsta !

I think he's bad tempered, agressive but very obviously a results driven person. Having said that I think I would have been worse if dealing with someone like Jadine ... she's just dumb !

Like Syed from last year Tre needs to stay in to keep the ratings high cos he makes interesting viewing.

Good Luck Tre...... you'll need it!

He's just up his own Ar$e. He's not interesting because he is a clone of that ******** from last year Sayed.
If you think he can sell then you are easily persuaded to purchase things...

Tre can't be his real name, anyone know what it is?
