What was worse I thought, was the way Adrian Chiles was lauding him on You're Fired as if he was some kind of sage or hero.

Really? I didn't watch that. How odd! (I wonder if Sir A watches it!) A friend of mine records it so I'll make sure I see it (and then report back to you on this thread!).

I think Tre has some dodgy viewss regarding women and liberal attitudes that make me a bit uneasy. His businesss chit-chat is masking it a little bit but deep down I don't think he's a very nice person.

Up until last night's episode, I couldn't stand Tre and would have joined in with the 'slay tre' theme, but last night he was as funny as hell. He's not a character anyone would wish to spend any time with, let alone work with or employ, but as for entertaining telly... I finally 'got it' last night. He was totally un-PC yes, but damn it was funny.

But those unpleasant traits are extremely important!! If people find these things amusing, then we may as well go back to watching old 'comedy' programmes like "Love Thy Neighbour" and "Mind Your Language"!! Is that what we really want in the 21st century (ridiculing of women, foreigners and minorities?)??!! Acceptance leads to familiarity, and so it goes on.......

Yes indeed. It seems that being sexist and racist will have some people up on their feet applauding and lauding the nasty piece of work.

He must be stupid if he doesn't realise how this comes across to viewers, but he seems blissfully unaware of it. The whole time he was selling, you could see the contempt for his customers in his face. It's just SO bloody annoying that he keeps ending up in the winning team - but I'm sure his time will come, it has to!!!
I think that's just his normal expression, SG!

There is some very anti Semitic comments about Tre and his dislike of the "fish & tits" art last week, on Andrew Collins blog http://www.wherediditallgoright.com/...vy-footed.html
even though Tre is as Jewish as Siralan is a Quaker.

Edit: I should point out the comments are made by a member of the public and definitely not by Andrew Collins.

So Tre even takes the piss out of his own people, hmm..... He's not getting any better - if anything, he's getting more boring - I expected him to really have a go at this last task and make it his own, and he was really disappointing. (But 'Mind Your Language' got mentioned in the Adrian Chiles programme - hey, call me Mystic Meg, lol!!)

I'msorry but i didnt see tre taking the piss out o fanyone, he put on a accent which the woman at the end of the line found easier to understand and relate to just as one would simplify their english if abroad perhaps? Thats no bad thing besides it was the other taking the P out of tre esp with the wobbly head. But all in Jest i thought.

I don't think I detest Tre as much as I did previously, but I do think it's funny that week after week, he immediately says something like "this task is perfect for me, I'm tailor-made for it, it's what I do, watch me shine!" etc. etc. - and then he just fades into the background, and someone else ends up being far more successful at it!! (That person being Simon this week imho, even though I'm not keen on him.) Tre does work hard sometimes, but as an old friend of mine used to say, at the end of the day he's "all mouth and trousers"!! He might get to the final four, but I think his foul mouth and misogynistic attitude will count against him eventually (Sir A is essentially an old-fashioned man).

Tre never took the oportunity to shine during this task for some strange reason, perhaps he didn't like being lead by a woman

Think Tre must've been having his period last night.

That's the kind of thing that he would have said to one of the girls, lol! (But yes - why did he hold back, when he obviously had some good ideas? I don't get that at all. I'm wondering if he's actually quite insecure, and all the blustering is just a front.)

He did come across as negative, I agree, but actually - along with Simon - he was the winner of that task. I don't blame him for having misgivings about Simon's rapping and dancing: I know I certainly did. And all credit to Simon, it worked out okay in the end.

I'd have liked to have known who was responsible for the casting call. Getting sent half a dozen young people who couldn't dance was disastrous. But for all Simon's contributions, the thing that impressed me most was Tre's way of making their rather naff 'reclaim the Streets' idea actually mean something - by connecting it to youth centres and giving it an anti-corporate message. Tre was also right about the percentage of profits rather than a non-negotiable percentage of product price.

Tre was a bit grumpy - perhaps he felt Simon was stealing the limelight - but they work quite well together and, IMO, Tre's instincts are generally good.

We're seeing edited highlights of god knows how many days of filming.. I'm sure they could portray him as a saint if they so wished...
