I've had my eye on him too, but for different reasons.

Errrrrrrrgh! Not from me. I think the only thing worse than being seen groping someone on National Telly is being caught groping yourself!
I also think he'll make the last four as well. He seems good enough to win. However, I wonder if his nice-but-firm nature can handle the all-guns blazing nature of the boardroom. I wouldn't like to see him one-on-one with Tre, Kristine or Jadine in there.....

Now that wouldn't give your lawyer much of a defence would it?
I think he's playing a very clever game - not rubbing anyone up the wrong way and keeping on everyone's good side.
However, I did see a ruthless back-stabbing side to him. When they were talking about the labels in the boardroom he made a point of saying he didn't do them and after Lohit had admitted it was him, he made a comment that they were rubbish, which he didn't need to do, just after Lohit had put his hands up to it.

Yes, I noticed that too.
And like you say, totally unnecessary.

Indeed, but unlike the other poster, I call that front stabbing. It showed that he will get his claws out when he sees an opportunity in the boardroom and thinks someone is vulnerable.
The nature of the programme is to show that you're better than someone else. One of the ways to do that is to point out the flaws of another competitor.
Perhaps Sir Alan needs an apprentice capable of printing out clear and decent labels and as such, it's useful for him to be informed of someone's inability to do this.
Quite honestly they are all there to make themselves look better than someone else, regardless of whether or not it's a major or minor factor.
I really don't see any reason why Simon is being criticised for pointing this out.

Actually i thought it was a sign of Simon cracking under pressure. SAS had just warned them about not being too friendly with each other, so Simon abandoned (what I think is ) his true nature and went unnecessarily on the attack. Tre or Kristina would have dissected Lohit, but, though Simon has already shown he can communicate well, because he isn't a true b**** all he could come out with was "the labels were rubbish". Frankly, that was a rubbish comment.

Er, the labels were hardly the crux of the task though, were they? I mean, it wasn't the reason they failed.
Not sure how you can justify emphasising that over failure to make a sale. The only person to even touch on that - albeit in a roundabout way - was Adam.
